Smokerson Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 We are by far and away the best team in this league so if we turn and up perform we will win the game. The problem is since Christmas I can only really remember 3 games (Stenhousemuir, Raith and Airdrie) when we have actually played well. Slightly worrying that we are limping over the line but all will be forgotten when we win it over the next 3 weeks. I also wouldn’t put it solely down to Luke Donnelly but that is normal due to our support constantly looking for one scapegoat to blame things on. There are other factors including a 4/5 week period where we had terrible injury problems, some players going off the boil, (eg O’brien, Thomson, Hamilton, swankie not playing anywhere near to the consistency they played in earlier in the season) there has also been some unnecessary tinkering with the team in forward areas. I would bring in McCord and move Swankie further forward and keep the rest the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Quick question.I know the Lichties have Spence and Donnelly, and they appear to be playing a major part in this team that's hit a bit of a rocky patch compared to the first 13-14 games.How do the line ups compare between that team that went on the mad unbeaten (league) run and this starting XI?Is that XI from the start of the season available for selection just now or is there injuries that's preventing it?

We also had a couple of injuries and suspensions which upset thing but we now have everyone available.Me amongst most people would like the team back that did so well first half of the season so please dick just replace donnelly with wallace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring in McCord and move Swankie further forward and keep the rest the same.Swankie impressed against Stranraer and could be a key man on Saturday. McCord still has a fantastic touch, but is he quick enough for the likely pace of the early part of this derby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relichtie Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Usual back five as it picks itself.Gold Whately Swankie LinnMcKenna and Wallace.That's the guys who did the biz first half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountzionbrae Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Reminder that Forfar are one of the few clubs that do not offer concessions to Students and the Unemployed meaning that everyone between the ages of 17 and 64 have to pay the full admission.

36-0 Maroon Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Let’s do this Red Lichties, absolutely buzzing for this game, the maroon smokie army will soon be in town, Forfar have been superb this season and it’s a big ask for East Fife to beat Raith AGAIN but regardless the anticipation excitement and atmosphere will be electric tomorrow , would be unreal if it turned into another Stirling scenario, 36-0 mon the mighty maroons.
