Hamilton @ 2.10 please.

HT 0-0 FT 2-1 ICT Mckay Arbroath Jack Hamilton Crowd 1876

Certainly not for Fort William. They are playing all their home matches at their opponents’ grounds, so last night lost their home match against Nairn at Station Park.
-
A hat trick in 7 minutes for Andy MacRae for Brora tonight. Dale Gillespie also scored with Andy MacAskill on the mark for Buckie.
-
Interesting! We are fourth in the table, have scored the fourth highest number of goals in the league, and conceded the fourth lowest number of goals in the league. The three teams above us are those who have scored more and conceded less. True, if we measure October to now it will be a much poorer picture.

We are now playing for fourth place, at best, given Patrick’s win tonight.

Ryan Christie for Bournemouth, Scott Boden for Borehamwood Wood and Nathan Austin for Kelty tonight. Graeme Shinnie scored for Wigan in the penalty shoot out in the EFL Trophy, but they lost out to Sutton United.
-
Our home game against Kilmarnock on 16 April has been moved to the evening Friday 15 and will be on tv. As a result, we only have two home Saturday afternoon games left this season, Arbroath on Saturday and Dunfermline on 26 March.

I was a bit premature with the post above, but now confirmed it is postponed and a statement is expected from FIFA later. Some of the Ukrainian squad have joined the defence of their country. If is horrific watching and hearing what is going on. I just hope and pray that a resolution is found quickly without further deaths, and which involves Putin being seen to have lost. It is hard to see that outcome any time soon sadly.

I hope Gardyne is not the Montrose cheerleader!!

Very well said Douglas and Scotty. Hopefully someone in the club actually reads this site and the posts on social media etc, and realises the way fans feel about the ongoing failure to communicate. If so, they need to be ensuring the Chairman, Board and CEO know the depth of feeling. Improving communication should be easy, it just needs them to focus on it, set a standard and stick to it. A monthly blog by the Chairman or CEO, augmented by helpful news in pre and post match interviews would make a major difference. If put in place quickly, it will help with season ticket sales for next season as some fans will be less cheesed off. I’m sure we’d all be (slightly) more forgiving of some of the poor performances if we were better informed about injuries, players suffering from Covid or isolating etc. It is time for the Chairman, Board and CEO to be visible and show the fans that they are leading the club. I’m sure they’ve done a lot of good in the last two years in keeping the club alive through Covid, but they need to be shouting about it. They say they want to increase our standing in the community. Without good communication, they will never achieve that.

Andy Shinnie scored for Livingston in their defeat to Celtic today. His second goal against Celtic this season.
-
Lewis Jamieson for Clyde and Rory McAllister for Cove today.
-
Meekings is only 29 so is ineligible for this given the rules.
-
Fair comment. I’d jumped to the conclusion that, if true, the club is in the wrong. Hopefully it is an unfounded rumour but if there is an issue that it gets sorted amicably and professionally by those involved.
-
If that is true, it is a major concern. Not only is it bad for Roddy and the club, but what message does it give to our other young players about how they will be treated. Guys like Hyde and Nicolson have looked promising when they have had game time, and we need to be nurturing our youngsters to be increasingly involved and hopefully at some time to bring in income from transfer fees. Hopefully we have more Christies and Mackays in the pipeline.
-
It is undoubtedly a major concern, certainly the last five and a bit months. At the end of September we had 19 points from 7 games. Now we have 40 points from 28 games, so 21 points in 21 games since the start of October. And we all know the last three months have been disastrous with only 6 points from 11 games. Oh, to add insult to injury, County are now in the top six and only one point off a European place. It is scary how far we have fallen since being almost permanently in the top league and consistently doing well in the cup competitions. I don’t think the feedback on here has been this poor for a long time, even in the relegation season under Foran. I can only think of four games when we have done well. The 3-1 win over Partick (second half only), the wins against Kilmarnock and the demolition of Morton. Even those games feel a lifetime ago now. We can’t use injuries or Covid as an excuse. We just don’t have a game plan any more, players have lost confidence and the management team can’t turn it round. Roll on the end of the season!

Really highlights how much we are missing Allardice and MacGregor. They’ve missed a lot of games but still amongst our top performers in the eyes of the fans.
-
Just looked at the BBC stats. They say we had 19 attempts but 1 on target. Next week they have to focus on shooting practice as that is a shocking statistic and highlights what we need to do. We also need to find ways of giving Mckay chances. I think he only had one attempt all night. Dodds says the second half performance was excellent……
-
A season that promised so much is petering out badly. Chances are we will end up on the bottom half of the table. This was our real chance to gain promotion but we have blown it big style. We have decent players we are not getting the best out of. At times we dominate games, including most of the second half tonight, but we can’t score when on top and we end up chasing games. 11 without a win, with the league leaders next, says it all. I’m not one to call for the heads of Managers, but something has to change or next season could be very painful. 8 games left for Dodds & co to prove us all wrong. Can they?

1 down. Against the run of play but sums up 2022 so far.

Chalmers on for Doran.
-
An attempt on target! Hardy shot from Sutherland header. Decent enough effort but needed to find the corner. Great play by Hardy then to set Doran up. Goal saving block by Foster. We’ve been better this half but Partick still looking dangerous. Hardy looking good.
-
Hardy and Sutherland on for Samuels and Pearson. Doran and Sutherland playing wide. Not sure about that as we surely need Sutherland central if we keep playing long balls.
-
Will take 0-0 at half time. Partick started and finished the half on top. We did well in the middle part. Welsh is the only player trying to take it down and create. Otherwise it is mainly hopeful long balls. Samuels has had out best chances but Partick have created the better opportunities and with one off the post and one cleared by Carson under the bar they will feel they should be ahead. At least we are level and in with a chance!
