Dan Steele Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 A fun-filled day at Station Park and despite the ref's best attempts, a fairly exciting game. Couple of fine fitba flourishes by both teams and I thought Strachan was immense. Forfar again found lacking in upfront players but good performances from most players. Good to see Whyte get another run but didn't have much to do. Some refereeing, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridie Vision Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 A brace for Shep! Who saw that coming. Yes, they were penalties and other than that he did next to nothing. Both fullbacks were good for us. Grant Anderson was our only threat up front and glad he got his goal. You knew Harkins was going to have another laughable day when his first touch of the game was a misplaced cross where he landed on his backside! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Jazz Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Good win given everyone that's out. Thomas made a difference helping Slater get a grip of midfield second half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind a midfield three of Slater, Thomas and Ness (when/if fit). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fafc1885 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Felt Shepherd did well this week despite being asked to lead the line on his own again. Still think he is better with someone beside him, if only we had a striker available to do that… Crossan had one of his better games too and Anderson had the beating of Woods all afternoon without having to really try. What a day he had for Stranraer, gave away both pens and set up our second. Sam Fisher at right wing for the last five minutes was something else. Fair play to him for filling in as asked, but it highlights our need for a winger as well as a striker. Great again to see Darren Whyte get more minutes, surely it won’t be long until he replaces one of Munro or Anderson? Although I also thought the same with Travis and he seems to have been released unannounced which is a sad way to finish his time at the club. I know we are missing a few players through illness at the moment but why are we starting Harkins again? We have players on the bench who should start ahead of him. I would rather Scott Robertson if we had to field a retired coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loon From Outta Toon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not a great game but a good result. 3 points with a depleted team, will take that all day long. It highlights our need for reinforcements, however I don’t see it happening, as we have one of the biggest squads in the league! imagine it will be difficult to bring in any players, especially in this window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
