  1. Team : Hoban, C.Brown, Rennie, J.Brown, Gilchrist, McArthur, Wilson, Maclennan, Macrae (Smith), Sutherland, Robertson.
  2. Injuries haven't helped - with McNaughton, Raven and McKay missing we were pretty much down to our 4th choice RB at Dens Park. But the rest of the back four was our first choice lineup, so I think that excuse only works so much. Our central midfield has been rancid this season. Playing Vigurs in a deeper role is suicidal from a defensive perspective. He can't tackle (apart from his frequent cynical fouls), and he doesn't bother to track opposing players. Tansey hasn't offered his defence much more protection; his form has been poor and he's playing like a guy who wishes he was at Aberdeen. And when Draper plays in front of the back four, good teams pass the ball round him so he can't use his physical presence. What worries me just as much is that our centre backs are struggling. Meekings hasn't been at his best this season. Worse, Warren has been really poor. At Dundee his failure to close down or back off Wighton properly meant that he got away a shot that OFW couldn't see. Last week he gave away a stupid penalty with uncharacteristic clumsiness. And in general he's struggled in the air against big forwards, an area in which he's usually been dominant. It might be a blip in form, but it might be the start of an inexorable decline.
  3. Callum Ferguson scored the winning goal for Albion Rovers against Queen of the South in the Scottish Cup. They'll play Celtic.
  4. I didn't know that either. Im far better at apeeling an orange.
  5. Good news. One of our most improved players this season. And now a contender for top goalscorer too!!!! Have always liked Tremarco and he seems to be flourishing now after a few years in Shinnie's shadow.
  6. Confirmed today that Tremarco has signed an extension.....two years, with player holding the option on the second year.
  7. Thanks for that folks. Here's hoping we can get 3 points for a change.
  8. Normally only at Celtic and Hearts that you risk not being able to buy on the day. Hearts decide on day and Celtic well you must buy in advance. St J is pay at gate and away fans are welcome in the Mcdiarmid suite if you wish drinks pre match.
  9. 1 point
    Hello Staigo Boys - Remember me ? That is a must do. It is one of my bucket lists
  10. Oh to be able to pin point the weaknesses and at the same time provide the answers ! Tick lists are all very well but it can be a combination of all things or from less to none of them. We have an excellent goal keeper and he has made some wonderful saves and stops the one criticism I have of him is that he does not seem to have the ability to ' Boss the box ' an attribute that Dean Brill had, when he played for us, which contributed largely to him keeping so many clean sheets. It is the Keepers area and if he can not do that then it is up to the Captain to ensure that all holes in the defence are adequately filled. Even then there can be leaks so lack of cohesiveness can not be entirely to blame. Attacking football is our style of play so a high line in midfield has to be maintained, offside traps are necessary but susceptible to the quality of refereeing and line duty that we experience. Playing the whistle and not anticipating fouls being given can be another problem, which is down to the Captain to ensure that players are alert to this. That is my take for what it is worth!
This leaderboard is set to London/GMT+01:00
