0-1 defeat.
We`ll have majority of ball without many clear cut chances, lose a cheap goal and then confidence will go, crowd gets restless and despite a late push unable to nick an equaliser.

Kick-off to be delayed an hour as several players, two ball boys and Sammy the Tammy get injured during the warm-up. (Note - this is a PREDICTION).
Confused by the timing, the Pars start playing properly from 4 p.m. and accidentally win 9-0.
Dotnet goes into melt-down as Joe Chalmers is the only outfield player not to score.
Alternatively, it will be the worst 0-0 ever seen.

I was feeling pretty negative in the run up to this but having seen the starting line up, I predict we will scrape a win in a scrappy game. Reason? Chalmers is dropped and I think that’s a clear indication (or I certainly hope) we intend to play with more energy and purpose in the middle of the park and take the game to Arbroath rather than the usual dull tippy tappy possession play that goes nowhere.
Get at them pars. Press high to win the ball back. Be direct with the ball. Get into the kents.

You could tell it was a bottom of the table clash
a lot of huffing and puffing from the Pars but the end result was not good enough
A game we were really comfortable with most of thime , but somehow we managed to blow it !! probably because every time a team gets a dead ball against us we cannot defend , O`Brien wasn`t even marked it was a free header , maybe it`s just me but surely Mehmet has to control the box , if he comes and clashes with whoever he would get the decision !
Certainly didn`t see anything today to give me confidence going forward , and we really need an experienced defender in the back line
Another disappointing day at the office and we are where we are because we are gash at the moment , at least we created some chances but as usual we never take them and its these things that come back to haunt you
have to agree about their goal , it was Sunday league stuff

I thought we were unlucky not to grab a winner. The hard fact is we didn’t though and partick will make mincemeat out of this side. If we can’t win at home against the worst team in the league who have their own injury concerns, what hope do we have of winning a game against anyone else until players either return to fitness or are added to the team.
Positives, we scored a goal, played with more energy and attacking threat than we have for a long while. We closed the opposition down early and looked to get at them.
Negatives, conceded a goal with some criminal defending from a set piece. Couldn’t find a winner when we were clearly on top at the end.
Hope to see some players in this week. An experienced centre back please.

No lack of effort but a definite lack of quality.
MOH very positive, that sort of play can lift a team. Kane very solid debut, pressured well too.
Bad result against a poor side, I’m not sure who I’d fancy us to take points off just now and make no mistake we’re in a bit of trouble.

I thought Fagan-Walcott had a pretty good game - won most balls thrown his way and took his goal well.
Kane put in a shift, looks like a good addition.
Overall though it was tough to watch. Plenty of effort, but little composure. Lots of balls just hoofed up the park in a panic.
Clearly an improvement, but it needs to be better again if we want any chance of climbing the table.

He creates zero, does nothing with the ball, runs in straight lines into players, passing is shocking can`t cross summed up by the sheer lack of composure when the arbroath keeper was on the deck he completely fluffed it.

All those sliding chances, into the side netting and off the post. Gordon Bennett it was frustrating but the difference in play was like night and day from the last few matches, and that surely is something positive.

Parking the 1-1 scoreline.
Thought Josh Edwards had a blinder of a first half, did really well and exquisite ball in for the goal.
Fagan-Walcott I thought showed what he can do and was solid all game.
Kane had a solid debut and linked up well, McCann put a shift in.
O’Halloran has a habit of overdoing it, and agree that his final ball ends up nowhere.
Benjamin, whilst he didn’t do anything remarkably wrong, he just looks out his depth whenever he’s on the ball, really needs a jolt of confidence put in him.
The equaliser, every right to be raging at that, defence was nowhere for it and as clear a free header as one could get.
I would’ve preferred Otoo to go in defence for Benjamin and keep Hamilton in midfield if I was honest with you, his height always worries me which showed a couple of times.
At least it’s a point and something for the lads to build upon, we should’ve got the three but just wasn’t to be, two really difficult away ties coming up next so fingers crossed they’re up for it.

All these comments about us playing better…..of course we played better, it was against the weakest team in the league who are not scoring and conceding for fun. The fact we lacked enough to get it over the line is very worrying in what was our easiest home game we had left.
At this point we’re the 2nd worst team in the league.
For me we need Ashcroft and another attacking midfielder/winger in by next weekend, worst case so they can help us in the playoffs.

Frustrating not to win that and if we`d got a winner with the chance right at the end, I don`tt hink it would hav been undeserved. Yet again, it feels like we need a break to go our way at the right time and it just didn`t happen for us.
I think folk moaning about too many balls up the park aren`t taking into account how hideously bad our pitch is. We did try to play sometimes, but as the game went on both sides realised it was completely impossible to play on the ground and just ended up going long most times. It really is a terrible park to play football on just now, with the half closest to the main stand in a particularly bad state. It wasn`t a good game, but it did get quite exciting towards the end.
I found it a bit odd that Arbroath wanted to waste time in the second half at 1-1. 6 points behind at the bottom of the league and playing the closest team to them, yet obviously they were happy with a point? Very odd.
We didn`t quite manage to do enough to win, but it was a bit better than the last two games, albeit taking into account that it was against weaker opposition. Really, it`s just annoying to lose such a poor goal. Defending corners has been awful in the last few months but that has to be the worst of the lot. Don`t think it was a keeper`s ball at all, just someone not knowing who they`re marking. I thought Mehmet might have saved it, but someone else is far more responsible than him.
Craig Napier is an absolute fanny of a referee (sorry if people feel that this language gives encouragement to other fannies to act violently after games). I think that`s the first I`ve seen him since the day we were relegated in the play-offs and he`s still as bad. The Kane booking really was ridiculous, as the linesman was shouting at the Arbroath player to move the ball back. I think Napier had turned away and hadn`t even seen what was happening. He really is the most annoying referee around and I`ll stand by what I said at the game - he`s the worst to get to a high level in Scotland since Stephen Finnie.

There was plenty graft and effort but often a lack of cohesion due to several of the players being new and any team with new players, or players in different positions, finds it difficult to gel. The plus points were that Edwards had a great game, Malachi looked pretty powerful at times and got on the score sheet, O`Halleran although his touch let`s him down, is very fast with the ball at his feet and the new boy Kane looked like an excellent player.

Need a centre half in quickly hopefully ashcroft and an experienced midfielder. 2nd half was brutal to watch apart from last 10 minutes. It was like playing with 9 men Allen and Mcann done nothing especially Mcann!! Infact when I walked in the ground he stood in the same spot for 10 minutes waiting for the shooting drill.

Another poor result, thus the initial booing at the final whistle, though the players were applauded off in recognition of the effort put in.
The positives:-
Chris Kane looks decent, definitely an upgrade on anything we have up front.
Otoo in midfield makes good forward runs and was unlucky not to score. He will notch a few goals in that position.
Holmes showed some good touches and was also unlucky not to score. Would give him a shot up alongside Kane. If not, why did we sign him?
First half we dominated the midfield for a change with both Otoo and Hamilton there.
The negatives :-
Total lack of a commanding centre half is costing us goals.
While MOH makes lots of good runs, he has no end product, can neither cross, pass or shoot.
McCann looks a shadow of the player he was before his injury.
Took Benjamin off because he had been booked and the midfield suffered with Hamilton dropping back.
Summers is easily brushed aside in this league which requires a certain amount of physicality.
Another terrible goal lost from a set piece.
I think it is an absolute essential to get a dominant centre half in this week to stiffen up at the back and allow Hamilton and Otoo to both play in the midfield. Leave Summers out and pair Kane with Holmes or Jakubiak if fit.

Say we need 4 wins that’s 12 points from the last 13 games, in the last 13 games we have managed to gain 10 points and have fallen down the league so I would suggest we might need more than 12. Safe to say most of our rivals will beat arbroath.

The goal is an outswinging corner which O`Brien heads in from 8-10 yards out, MFW/McCann completely lose him and he has a free header. Mehmet should save it, but I don`t blame him for not coming out originally.

People keep saying Mehmet should have controlled his six yard box but it is abundantly clear by now that he is a keeper that sticks to his line and the probability is that at any given cross he is not going to be one of these commanding keepers. When defending set pieces our lads should have that at the forefront of their minds and be on the mindset of not letting my given man a run on me as a priority. I block , be cute ,, be physical and do whatever but if he wins the physical battle then he has to earn it . You can’t have the likes of O’Brien being dropped like that - that’s just not acceptable in any game. The one near the end at least Hamilton did enough to disrupt the boy to make sure the header thankfully went wide. With a management team both ex CBs it’s hard to understand why we are so poor at defending corners . That would be an easy coaching session you would think . Especially as most opponents put in out swinging corners to the edge of six yard box cos they know Mehmet will stay on his line .

Oz Ashcroft will surely be forced to be the leader and organise these guys until bene back and anywhere near match fitness.
Jojo is absolutely right, as a team we have lost all concept about how to manage a game, basic stuff like identifying the opponents best player and getting a sore in on him early, pushing and pulling of opponents to see what you can get away with and blocking players off etc.
Hamilton aside we’re just too nice, we don`t want to get stuck in and lack the character and nouse required to give opponents a hard time all over the park.
Kane will help with that but we need more men in this team. Seems these days pretty much every youngster who we get on loan lacks that certain mean streak, think otoo getting there but this seasons loans wouldn’t say boo to a goose.

Lose the next three games, or pick up something like 2 points in that soace, we are 100% finishing 9th.

I don`t think it works like that, Berkey. The manager will set up to try and win every game we play, but in some games there will be a more cautious approach, so that it`s more about not losing, as happened at Tannadice recently.
Such an approach has led to us picking up more points on the road than we have at home. Maybe the manager should adopt a safety first approach at home, but I doubt the fans would tolerate it.

On a standalone basis this was quite entertaining, and a bit more like the last season and a half, with the Pars pressing for a win in the final stages. Had it been midseason it would have been merely a disappointing and frustrating result rather than faintly worrying.
We should have won against a poor team, but there were encouraging signs.
Having ditched the faffing about at the back tactic last week, this week we went to four at the back. Ahead of that it was more flexible. The way we lined up at kick-off looked like a 4-2-4 and I thought of the Brazil team which won the World Cup in 1970. McCann as Rivelino perhaps? Comrie as Carlos Alberto? Kane looked more like Craig Wighton than Tostao, but he had a promising debut – he looked to be out of puff early on but he showed determination and inventiveness with the long-range shot. I think he should have scored when he hit the post, but he was always going to get booked for kicking the ball away like that – if you challenge the referee’s authority there’s only ever going to be one winner. But he should be an asset for the remainder of the season, and could be the boost we need.
Benjamin got hooked again – whether that was due to the booking, I’m not sure. I can’t remember him making any particular gaffe. But imagine if we got a couple of red cards and some suspensions – that would really put the tin lid on it. However, moving Hamilton back did upset the balance of the team, but I thought Otoo played well; a pity he couldn`t convert Allan`s cross.
Again MFW had some good moments and took his goal well, but how did O’Halloran miss? He seemed to be determined to show his pace this week, at the expense of control at the key moments. Summers I’m not sure about – bags of skill, but defending doesn’t seem to come naturally to him. And he has an odd way of competing for the ball – preferring to stick out a leg rather than get his body in the way.
Shocking defending for the goal – and they nearly scored a similar one later on – that might have spelt the end for McPake. But he and we fight on - there are a lot of winnable games coming up and we should be getting some players back as well so there’s still a lot to play for.

I think the issue for me is how consistently poor we are in front of goal. We regularly miss the target from 6-10 yards out. You can be the slickest team in the world when you are building up to create opportunities, but we really lack focus and concentration in front of goal. We need to at least hit the target and make the keeper and defence work hard.

Maybe if we played arbroath every week

Yeah, if that has been against someone at the top end of the table then yeah… but it was against the rank bottom, rank rotten team in the league

Seems little doubt that Arbroath will finish bottom. We have got to get our act together to avoid a playoff spot.

I missed the previous two games but managed to get along yesterday. I thought overall we created more than enough chances to win the game and should have been out of sight in the first half.
Pleasing to see the change in shape. It saw guys mostly playing their best positions and allowed everyone to be a bit further up the park. We`ve played players out of position too often this season, it was nice to see a change. I`m not sure why we changed anything at half time tbh, that was a mistake...
Kane looks a really good addition. His work rate is excellent, he was brave, and he was strong.
I thought Lewis McCann had a pretty poor second half, not sure why Moffat didn`t come on to offer fresh legs.
I sat in the main stand and was behind the players currently injured sitting in a row. More than half of a winning League One team sitting in the stand!:-

Breen ran past us to get to his car behind the NW at full time. Hope he`s OK!

I counted 10 before the Morton game, Jeffrey.
When we beat Morton 3-1 going on 6, in the previous game at EEP, I thought we were nailed on certs for a top 4 place. What I didn`t realise was that Morton had 9 players unavailable that day. Two weeks later they had most of them back and they`ve gone from strength to strength.
Our season has been the exact opposite.... ☹️

No, he said the pitch was in poor shape - which it was. He then added that it was the same for both teams, and that`s why they stopped trying to play on the ground and go more direct. Horrible to watch, though.
