RedLichtie86 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Going to be a big game for Arbroath. We desperately need a win and that can only happen with a massive improvement in attack. Will we bring a striker in to give us a lift or be left waiting another week for much needed firepower. Will Raith be eyeing up 3 points this game to get them up the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate we are better off points wise but a defeat here drags us right into trouble. Given both teams goalscoring issues, you'd have to think the first goal will be absolutely crucial. What are the arrangements for away fans this season? It looked from highlights of your match v QP that the ends have switched again from last season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to put segregation at that end so away fans are now located there. Will stay like that for years to come i can imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Wheels have well and truly come off our wagon and its hard to see where a goal will come from never mind a win, only real positive is we will have o’brien back. I’d go with a change of formation.GastonStewart little tob hammy hancockJacobs tait goldLinn shanksBit harsh on hilson who has done well in the last couple of games so I wouldn’t be against him getting another start.

AFC360PUNK1320 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Should sign that James Craigen that scored 2 goals for Edinburgh City on Saturday, one of the most bizarre "free" transfers i have ever seen in my 50+ years supporting the Red Lichties, one of our few players who was not scared to have a shot at goal from distance, plus keep Bobby Linn on, still i reckon we will win 2-0 for the AFC (Linn and Shanks).

lichtie23 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Depending on other results a defeat here could see us 5 points from safety. I know it’s still early in the league campaign but that’s very concerning. No TOB or Allen is a concern and McKenna will still be missing. Midfield won’t have played much together by the looks of it. Hopefully we get a striker in on loan this week to give us some threat in the final 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since I was at Arbroath but then we were at the sea wall side and it was brass [emoji23]Yes and no.Depends which way the wind is blowing.All i know is you will not have the sun in your eyes as it will be behind you covered by the roof.Could be the perfect scenario where the sun is out but its very windy. Arbroath fans getting slight warmth from the sun and sheltered from the wind. But away fans will have the wind in their faces and freezing in the shade.But generally the wind will be towards the harbour end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
