Decent report Robert !   Agree with most of your post.

However..  I thought Mcgregor was poor today,  he needs to muscle up and stop getting caught in posetion,  He gets shoved off the ball, and during the first 20 mins of the second half when we really needed someone to take the ball stop and think he gave away too many passes, Hyde no bad but was guilty of some **** passes, Dodds giving a telling off at one point.

But to be fair the team did very well and our experienced players got us the win. 

Bring on Plastic!!

Wasn't sure yesterday, But replay sure shows Ridgers didn't do too well dealing with that shot. 

Yessssssss!  Feck you Collum!!  Feck you ugly Campbell    yessssss

I fecking hate Collum

Oh..  why are we so shyte with throw ins?

Surely the objective was not to lose a goal. Thankfully Arbroath were WORSE at punting than we have been. But there are times when hoofing is the only option in such defensive conditions. This is our chance to show that we can play with the wind and that will be about passing, using the width and getting shots on target. 

Fair enough...  its a carbon copy of Tuesday night.   Arbroath working their asses off to stop us playing.  

We will come into this game, I hope Billy gets on and scores a winner.

That looked offside.

Been our story for a while, Superb comeback and win against the top team of the league.... and fall flat on our faces against the bottom team who have not won in months...

Agree, wonderful words to describe a great bloke and ' one of us'  A real legend at the Innes and Caledonian stadium.

Miss you already big guy.   

Normal service resumes....

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

What a sweet, accurate strike!!

Great win and 3 points desperately needed!   Thought we did well for first 20 mins then Broath had the upper hand but nowt much apart from hitting post when Mackay was so slow to react

I was so glad Mackay scored, he needed that badly.    That put the game to bed.

Dick was foul mouthing ref, was ref and anyone else that listened and got the customary red...

Thought Carson worked hard but distribution was poor and he is no RB.   Clubfoot was awful.   Almost cost us twice when misjudged a  couple of punts up the park....we need better.   As we need proper full backs.

Arbroath fans were good crack in town/pubs/ game/bus ,   proper supporters. 

So glad I have consumed much beer and wine!

I would agree with everything you say DD,  However, defensively we are a shambles as IHE pointed out earlier.

At the moment players are nervous and full backs are obviously not comfortable playing where they are! 

Ridgers needs to be in the sticks, Dodds SHOULD have sorted out full backs start if the season, But he made do...  mistake! 

Hope next Saturday brings a performance and a result.

Oh.. and Dodds get to feck

Yep, missed chances and shyte defending again.... seasons over folks..see you all in July

Fecks sake Doran!   took too long too shoot with a great chance and played a shyte ball through......    its coming though!!!   have faith

Well that was pysh.  Thumping high balls again to Billy Mckay is pi5h easy for the 2 centre backs, Need to do something different.

Oh and Samuels is garbage.

Very scrappy from us, No passing, just a bump up the pitch.   Living dangerous.

Surely to f**k we've got to win sometime!!!

That last nights performance is seen as an improvement shows how far we've fallen this season. Another poor showing with the defence looking suspect, midfield unable to create anything and wasteful finishing up front. The first half was poor again and although we were better in the second half and probably should have won it we didn't and we drop more points and can kiss goodbye to any lingering dreams of a title fight. Mckay (twice), Pearson, McAlear and Hardy all had great chances to grab a vital win but at no point did any of them really look like scoring.

Staggered that Samuels is getting praise on here. I must be watching a different player as time and time again he just seemed to run into a dead end and lose the ball. He barely created anything of note the entire game. Yes he helped to set up the goal but I'm sorry, he got lucky there. When he plays that pass it's going to absolutely no one in a blue shirt. I don't think Dodds knows where to play him in this team. Pearson was better on the opposite flank but seemed to fade into the second half. He helped out Hyde a lot when the latter was getting the run around from Kennedy to begin with. I felt Doran did reasonably well as a 10 behind Mckay and linked well with the wide men. Disappointed when he went off.

Easy to say with hindsight but I feel we rushed Devine back too quickly for this one. He seemed to misjudge a header and appeared to jarr his foot in the pitch and looked to have tweaked something as he limped off. Not what we need right now. Broadfoot and Deas both made errors during the course of the match being caught in possession or letting balls run by them thinking there was no one else around.

I thought Sutherland was actually quite decent when he came on. He seemed to give our attack a wee bit of a boost when it seemed Hamilton were coming back into things and he did well to pick Mckay out for a chance IIRC. (Cammy) Mackay did well and pulled off some good saves. Especially the one in the first half when it looked like an Accies player wandered back onto the pitch, was surely offside and came across the path of the ball. Given Muir's performance if that had gone in I suspect it would have stood. As bad an officiating display as I've seen in a long time.

There was no lack of effort but there's just not a lot of good football being played by these guys just now. 

Excellent summarisation Andrew, Thought you might have mentioned our obvious pen claim,  Which after watching highlights was a disgrace that clown Muir never gave a pen.

I really feel it's down to a lack of quality, A lot of these players would not get near the pitch of ICT teams of the past.
