The ties and the chiffon scarf were they worth the wait....I And more importantly I thought Airdrie passed St Mirre n off the park at times, well worth the win, special mention to Cole and Gunn came on and never looked overawed, but surely these lads have to be protected and learn the game playing there level, Yes it was a good purvey and I did have a nice wee red. It was Willie McGuire answering the questions, much of it familiar.Never saw the chiffon but it's a smart tie. You're right on the young guys . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 With a few clubs having breaching rules by playing suspended players, I've just realised that Ballantyne has been booked in our last two games and is possibly suspended for Saturday. Ideally we'll see the pen but more likely to be a reshuffle at the back and Cole Gibson coming back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ballantyne’s suspended and no signings are made I suppose Gibson playing is quite likely, with Watson playing right back and McCabe joining Fordyce at centre back in a back 4, but it could possibly be Salim coming in if he’s fit to start and a shift to 442 with Smith and McGill out wide. Ideally a centre back or midfielder can be signed to avoid changing too much, but probably not too likely to happen before Saturday. Nine days until the league games start so the pen will surely be out before then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with what we have and the way we played Tuesday night, 4-3-3 gets the best out of the players we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is probably the most likely change then and I agree we should try to stick to 4-3-3 as much as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing how much you watch a game and focus on the wee mistakes or crap touches. Think I saw somewhere he's on 3 assists for the tournament , fair play to the laddie. Having only watched it on DTV, McGill brilliantly created Gunn's goal. As he approahed the goalie McGill took the ball wide to pull him away from the goal before slipping the ball to Gunn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And could still be given he was last seen with a moon boot on was he not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before League One Kick Off. It literally says it in the title. Seriously though, would be great to see it today, especially as the team would've been training last night, so here's hoping! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting McCabe we only have 4. Yeah if we're bringing in five players a forward would be my lowest priority. Ideally someone to cover centre back, a left back, a central midfielder to challenge Devenny and Frizzell and a wide player, maybe even two, would be my priorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
