Probably not, but there's a wee booth to buy tickets from a few steps from the turnstiles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone says that But aye probs our hardest game. On the lovely Astro I hope we try and play a bit. So Dyl Pats or Linn over Hilson out wide please. Maybe even Goldy over Chris Hamilton right back too but maybe that would be harsh. Goldy definitely better on the ball and going forward even though Hamilton has been solid and steady. Gaston Gold Little ToB Hammy Stewart Henderson Craigen Linn McKenna Nouble Unfortunately I’ve probably got about as much chance as Bobby of starting this game the now Edited October 13, 2021 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Arbroath have been playing the exact same team, in the same shirt, in the same style for the last five years and nobody will convince me otherwise. They do mix it up with a different loan striker every few months, I’ll give them that. But everything else is the same. It’s remarkable. Never confident of a result either. We seem to be winning the unexpected games this season and not winning games we probably should. Can we expect to beat Arbroath in their current form? Probably not. Draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to be winning the unexpected games this season and not winning games we probably should. Can we expect to beat Arbroath in their current form? Probably not. Draw. Same back 4 and goalie but we have changed a whole lot. We are playing more like we did when we won league 1 just now. Direct football and winning second balls high up the park. First season in Championship we were very stuffy. 4-5-1. Miko a defensive mid our star man and relying on Bobby going forward. Last season we changed it a fair bit to start. Remember we were going with McKenna on the wing a lot and had a 4-4-2 with Doolan/LD playing up with Hilson. We were too easy to beat and never had enough energy creativity or pace going forward. Bobby found himself on the bench a lot..... Second half of that season we got more legs and energy in the team, Bobby come back in, Jack Hamilton and Hilson uptop worked their arses off and Williamson gave us more drive from midfield. This year we’ve went with physicality in midfield and Nicky Lows guile. Ball forward very quickly, McKenna/Stewart and Craigen getting second balls off Nouble to get us high up the park with Low pulling the strings and Henderson doing the dirty work. So in response to you saying we are the exact same team I’d argue we’ve had 4 different styles in the last 4 seasons. The one consistent factor is the pretty solid back 4 and keeper and us being a hard working, high energy, fit and pretty physical team.

No, we won the league over the course of 36 separate matches, some of which were more damaging to our closest challengers than others.

Doesn’t change the fact Hammy’s goal at Starks in February meant the league was over as a competition [emoji4] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Arbroath fans should really enjoy all this while it lasts…this level is their glass ceiling. But a tremendous achievement to be consistent in this division over the last few seasons none the less. Dick’s done a great job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody thinks we are ever going to get to the prem, but I think the building blocks are in place to become a bottom half of Championship / top half of League 1 team on a consistent basis and I am happy with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually don’t even think they 2 clubs are much bigger than Arbroath. Would say Raith are possibly a bigger club than both. Their location and set up gives them a wee edge I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Considering the size of Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, the club has vastly under performed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential definitely there. Hamilton and Livi actual home support be less than Raith. Livi manage to give 3/4 of their stadium to clubs and with them being in middle of Edinburgh and Glasgow the 2 Edinburgh clubs and 2 Glasgow clubs will nearly or sell that out near enough every time. Hamilton have had a great youth set up and with being around Glasgow too it’s a good area to get younger full time players who are living in Glasgow and Edinburgh area. It’s all about getting that break and getting into the Premiership is it. Soon as you are there it is a game changer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
