Arbroath -V- Inverness CT - Preview, Streaming, Matchday

As Robert the Bruce said....

 

If at first you don't succeed.....

It's the second time of asking and we are due to play Arbroath at Gayfield on Wednesday night with a 7:45pm kick-off. This game was re-scheduled from 2nd January due to a frozen pitch on that occasion.

To be perfectly honest, our season is in absolute disarray at the moment with re-scheduled games in abundance. Add in Scottish Cup ties that were postponed, then put on hold, this campaign is a disaster for the Caley Jags. On top of that, our inability to attract players North during the pandemic is a cause for concern when all around us are strengthening their squads. It has certainly raised a few eyebrows and we could be in more danger of staving off relegation than pushing for a top four finish.

One bright note is that Scott Allardice has signed on for another couple of years. He has been one of our better bargains and is well worth the contract.

Last time out we drew 2-2 at Morton. That may have been seen as a decent result, but when you consider that we threw away a 2-1 lead against ten men for fifty minutes then it simply was not good enough. A point not lost on manager John Robertson who was unusually despondent after the game.

We did manage to play Arbroath earlier in the season and eased to a 3-1 win in the Highlands. Dan Mackay, Scott Allardice and Nikolay Todorov were the scorers. Allardice's goal was his first for the Caley Jags and what a thumper it was. Kris Doolan scored the opener for Arbroath while Pixellot were following the linesmans head.

The Red Lichties last outing was a bonus for them as they beat the very same Morton that we failed to beat at Cappielow. Loan signing Jack Hamilton opened his Smokies account after coming in from Livingston. That result lifted Arbroath off the foot of the table. Incidentally, that was Hamilton's 11th goal of the season, a man worth watching. He had previously been on loan at East Fife and did well up here in the League Cup group stages with the Fifers. Lichties two games before the win at Morton were draws with Dundee and Queen of the South.

  • At the risk of being accused of picking on you again, I really think it has to be pointed out that this is an unacceptable comment on several levels. Surprised no-one else has picked up on it.

  • That was a little frustrating to say the least. It felt that we were lucky not to lose it with both Hamilton and Doolan missing great chances. As with last week we completely lost our way as the

I like Robbo's tactic, anyone else looking for the League One Title party when we finally complete all the leagues in Scotland?

Don’t write us off tonight. We’ve seen what the wind can do to games at home, and the Arbroath home game this season was a good example of that.

We turned that game round and I think we can turn this round if we play to the conditions.

If we don’t, our promotion play off hopes are probably gone and we need to focus on staying in the Championship.

I don't know what it is about Toddy but he reminds me of Roman Golobart

Me and my big mouth: 1-0 for Arbroath at half time.

Quick break after the wind messed up a free kick for us. Good play and finish by Hamilton. We can’t fault the defence for it.

We came so close to holding out, but as Wyness101 said we switched at the toss to have the wind advantage second half so it is up to us to make use of that.

We will soon see how much impact the wind had as we should have the bulk of the territory and possession after the break. I still think we can win this, but we need to play quick football and shoot on sight. 

'We came so close to holding out,' 

Holding out against Arbroath. That's a sobering thought!!

GOALLLLLLLLLL

1-1 ICT 

Decent header at the back post....couldn't see who scored it HA!

 

Allardice with a chance....just wide

We are all over them this half but for some reason seem to be scared to take a shot and want to walk it into the box

Arbroath are going to play for a point now. Keeper time wasting already

Pitch looks really decent for this time of year

Gone flat again....too much like Morton game. Change needed sharpish

Doran on. Looking at the bench only other attacking option is Roddy. Maybe Vincent off for Roddy
