Guest mr_malcolm Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Reading comments on here about Stranraers previous games sounds like they are having a tough time of it atm. The past 2 weeks for us have been games of 2 halves , a performance for the whole 90 minutes that we are capable of would make me confident of the 3 points . Aitken had an off day for me up in Elgin , mcluskey looked useful so has to start so decision whether to play aitken or shepherd up front to be made . Anderson looked decent enough at the back , reads the game very well . Grant Anderson always impresses me off the bench but hard to see him displacing pj or Thomson atm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, can’t get my head around a Shephard rather than Aitken decision, why on earth would you not play a proven goal scorer at this level? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Aitken did have a poor game on Saturday but I'd start him over Shepherd every week as he's such a good target man and can put the ball in the net. I think Shepherd works very hard and constantly harasses defenders, which is great, but he's got very little footballing technique, just never seems to connect properly with the ball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_malcolm Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I didn’t say I preferred shepherd over aitken . I thought he looked a bit half arsed last weekend . Maybe confidence went after missing the 1 on 1 with their Keeper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 With the form of both teams, I think we will absolutely smash them. Goal bonanza incoming. 2-1 home win. Shepherd double. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I wouldn’t class Aitken as a proven scorer at this level just yet, last season was his first hitting double figures. Would be like saying Josh Peters is a proven scorer because of that one season he was on fire for a few months. On that note however, I’d rather have Doris partnered with Aitken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridie Vision Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looking forward to this match. The team are in good confidence, surely we should get the 3 points and hopefully another clean sheet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mr_malcolm Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 No Gallagher again, any idea how long he’s out for ? I see Stranraer only have 3 subs including their manager ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not a great start for Forfar so far. Stranraer have had a couple half chances. We've had a couple good corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn Terrier Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 No idea why we are even playing this game today.So many players out with injury and isolating…..both goalies out, why even bother getting a trialist goalkeeper in.Seems like madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not a great first half, we're getting a lot of joy down the right but final ball needs to be better. Should've taken at least one of our chances. Game is there to be won 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mr_malcolm Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Jesus Christ . We seriously need a striker who can score . Stranraer offered nothing . Another 2 points dropped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
