Tattie36 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 When did Hilson or Donnelly last score a league goal for us? I sure as hell can't remember but I'm sure it's years rather than weeks or months. Never like to criticise Campbell or the players but I can't for the life of me understand what he sees in them as regulars - squad players fine, and they can both do a certain type of job well for us, but we need goals and wins and neither of them are the answer as has been proven time and time again. What do they say about the definition of madness? Get Ford on from the start with Hamilton and bring Donnelly and/or Hilson on later if need be. Linn has to start after his performance in the first half against Partick and I would like to see Bakare get some game time - he looked lively when he came on against Hibs. Why bring him and Ford in if they're not going to get a game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC360PUNK1320 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 If Thomson, Low and Wighton are all missing from the Dunfermline game then this would be my starting XI :- GASTON GOLD LITTLE TOB HAMMY STEWART C.HAMILTON HENDO LINN BIG HAMMY MCKENNA D.C. HAS to start with Linn as he was outstanding for the 60 mins he was on in the Thistle game and a constant threat and if creative Low is out at least having Linn and Stewart out wide they will create chances for the 2 robust strikers to attack in the box. That leaves a strong central midfield to battle for the ball and both are not bad in the air in fact the very impressive Chris Hamilton has surprised me at the amount of headers he has won, if that is not working a simple swap of Craigen on for any of those 2 in central midfield but we must give Bobby game time, also agree the 2 new strikers need more of a chance i thought Bakare looked decent and a bit of a handfull in his short time he had against Hibs and i do not think he has played a minute since? C'MON THE RED LICHTIES - 36-0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on lads we need to keep our shit together at this stage of the season Was only thinking out of the box, to avoid the centre midfield wasteland of Hendo and wee Hammy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerafc Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Donnelly got a run in the team when we went with almost a front 3 of him, Nouble and Dowds. Didn't really work and he actually started the Kilmarnock away game ahead of Dowds who came on as a sub for the winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotesBornalichtie Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Hoping Bobby Linn starts the game, think he is more effective starting the game rather than coming on for the last quarter. No surprise if Donnelly starts though, either up front with Jack Hamilton in place of Wighton or out wide instead of Bobby Linn. Whatever the team selection we need to get back to winning ways and on a fine day, weatherwise, for football, today would be the day to play with the confidence of being the top team in the league. We are well past the need to play for enough points to stay in the Championship. We should be approaching each game expecting to win and expect a better game today than that dreadful excuse for a game of football served up by the two Thistles last night Edited March 5, 2022 by SotesBornalichtie grammar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Hughes has came in and improved us somewhat, but not enough compared to Imrie or Bullen. Ayr and Morton are winning games where we are drawing. We’ve not seen that turn in fortunes from punting Grant that was expected. We’re still not getting the necessary amount of wins that keeps us away from danger. It would really take something special from us to avoid the bottom two I think now. That includes winning games we’re expected to lose and hope Ayr, Morton etc lose. Arbroath haven’t got Nouble (thank f*ck) and have hit a bit of a snag, but being at home and still in a good position to challenge should give them plenty of mettle to get through us today and win, but probably not as easily compared to the last 3 games where we were embarrassed in each game. So depressing. Just feels like we’re waiting on the reaper to come with his bucket and spade to take us to the hell which is the seaside league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 A must win game today for the 'broath. Agree Linn should start - he will drive at their defence and get good crosses into the box ( also handy for set pieces and free kicks). Donnelly is not a centre forward - if he plays his role will be to provide service to Jack Hamilton. Our defence is solid, but still trying to find out best formation in midfield with Low out injured. Today's line up will be very attacking minded and expect Arbroath to be pushing from the get go for goals. Score prediction - 2-0 Arbroath ( but this will be a very tough match). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 We should be winning, Arbroath go up and score with the first time they go across the halfway win, our defence is an absolute shambles. Edwards and Ambrose looking ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 What the f**k is up with Ambrose’s position for the throw, creates a huge gap that arbroath rightly took advantage of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
