Jan Vojáček Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Just now, The Moonster said: Don't get ahead of yourself there, Murray was prone to that as well. We played a horrid narrow diamond midfield which had just about every midfielder playing out of position. I may be wrong here and it was Aitken who was in charge, but I'm sure we started away at St Mirren with Jordan Kirkpatrick as our sole striker one game too. That was indeed Aitken. Seven defenders/defensive mids (Scott Taggart on the wing, I mean Jesus Christ, why?), a goalkeeper and Kirkpatrick as a false nine. We would've overtaken Alex Rae's St Mirren with a victory...Lost 1-0, and Aitken called them a Premiership quality side. It still haunts me.

I think our squad is unbalanced so it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up trying a few out of position at some point. We don’t carry a goal threat but we lack genuine wide players who could make a difference. He needs to find a way to shake it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rid my mind of that shambles. Now you’ve brought it up that’s hundreds of pounds in therapy down the drain. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Scrotum Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Good to see that they are outside practising with that wind-machine we hired to kipper the Smokies. Almost feel sorry for the guys who have to trundle it to one end after the toss, then heave it to the other at half-time. Any jokes about BJs will be ignored.

Old Diamond Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Looking at the forecast there is a small chance of postponements on Saturday, snow forecast for the morning but should only affect high ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Scrotum Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Time for me to visit Specsavers, I think. I've just read the match preview and thought that one of the linesmen was Chris Gentile. Still, Russell is available. (It says there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Looks like we have virtually a full squad to choose from aside from the usual suspects missing out. Be interesting to see if Big Henk comes back in or if Brian McLean keeps his spot. I'll be shocked if anything else changes, for the first time in about 2 years we appear to have a settled team!

super-son Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I would be inclined to keep McLean in the starting 11. Don't think he done anything worthy of being dropped last week and as you say its been nice to have a settled team for the first time in a long time. I think that is one of the biggest reasons for our current form tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super-son Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Could this not have been hosted by the club in the community suite? Would get a few bodies through the door.Great idea by Airdrie to get the youngsters interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Scrotum Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Weather update for travelling folk: it is snowing. Fairly heavily but not lying (yet) due to wet ground. The hound wouldn't go "Walkies!" with Mrs. Scrotum, sharing with me the opinion "I'm not going out in THAT" and preferring to lie in front of the fire chewing an old gout bandage. The hound that is, not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 If the game was scheduled for an 08:00 kick off in my garden it would be off. Mainly because it wouldn’t conform to current SPFL ground regulations, and the fact there are no goals, but the snow wouldn’t help. Not feeling too optimistic about this going ahead.
