I’m baffled by these different strike pairings every week when we have easily the best in the league in Wallace and McKenna. Like the Forfar game the midfield was lacking. Whatley should play. He gives 100% as does Gold. We really lacked that commitment tonight. I didn’t hear the boos but I’m not surprised. The last 45 was the worst we have played this season. If we’re going to win this league then it’s time to go back to the side which got us where we are. Agree with this - we are too open in midfield and Whatley is the only enforcer we have. Also think Wallace and McKenna should be starting. Just to return to an earlier theme writ large last night. You could hear a pin drop around the terraces second half - positively (well that should be negatively) funereal. That seems corrosive when the team on the park needs a bit more encouragement. To make matters worse, you hear this idle speculative chat (a background murmur on fantasy football) on aspects such as league placings, points well apart from the usual moaning and criticism from a minority. I know it's up to the team to give fans something to shout about but we are definitely not helping. Poor attendance too. This may be part of the reason we seem to have a better record on the road.

relichtie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Wallace and Mikey up front for me. They link together and seem to play well off each other. Spence needs time to get match fit and settle in imo. Swanks didn't have a good game last night but could be the Kay at Raith if he plays to his strength. Gold at right mid and Whately in the engine room sounds a good option as well. Sent from my SM-G920F using Pie and Bovril mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arbroath were lower down the table and got stuffed 4 or 5 nil, then I could understand a few folk getting upset and jeering the side off the pitch. It's not helpful but it's understandable. But when you've just drawn a game and moved 13 points clear of the title favourites, with just 13 games to go? Inexcusable and I'm glad so many Arbroath fans have slated them.

Gayf78 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Very poor performance from us last night, especially 2nd half we played with absolutely no intensity and kept playing long balls when we should be trying to play on the deck. The real turning point in the game for me was bringing Donnelly on and moving McKenna out wide tho and continued to play long balls which with no McKenna up top we won very few.Thought Spence was quite good first half but faded out of the game second half, seen enough for him to suggest he could be a good player for us but for Donnelly on the other hand he was just awful, he can’t run in behind, hold the ball up or win a header, his link up play at times is quite good tho, not going to jump to conclusions too early on him he needs to time to prove himself.Would definitely play McKenna and Wallace up front on Saturday and play whatley in midfield with gav to give us some stability, too often the last few games the midfield have been caught out ahead of the ball and the other team have broken up the park, would start with gold and bobby on the wings, Omar or denholm just aren’t good enough imo and gold is good both defensively and has the capability of beating a man and putting a decent cross is going forward. Really need to bounce back on Saturday and get a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relichtie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Spence or Doris as impact subs meantime might be the way to go. We have a lot of front players to fit in now.

AFC360PUNK1320 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Lets get things right, the Arbroath "fans" who booed on Tuesday night was at max 6 in total who have not got a clue and their ancestors probably booed when we only won 36-0..... The vast majority of fans although disappointed applauded the team off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
