Superally Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 After an absolutely dismal performance last time out the Pars face a catch-up home game against Arbroath giving them the opportunity to make up ground and gain some respect in front of the faithful. Arbroath don’t have their problems to seek either and after some dismal league performances and a cup defeat against Spartans “The Bunnet” resigned, leaving The Red Lichties managerless in ninth place in the league. The Pars managed a draw in their last league game but were the dominant team against a resurgent ICT side hitting the woodwork on 8 occasions. However, it is clear that the Pars have only managed one clean sheet this season and while creating chances are failing to convert. Still to play this season much will depend on if Arbroath get a player reaction from their departed manager and if the Pars can concentrate on a league campaign with any degree of confidence. The Pars sit fifth three points ahead and have the opportunity to go fourth with a win. This like other Championship games will be another tough fixture, hopefully the Pars have enough within themself to win. The first goal will be so important. 1-0 Pars COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 BIG reaction needed, unfortunately I'm not that confident of one given we needed such a reaction after Patrick and got the dreadful performance vs Ayr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al k Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Tod and KRH will be on from the start, think the players will give a reaction. Don't think theres much confidence about the squad. Narrow victory for me, can't have Allan and Chalmers playing together its one or the other for me Otto in with Chalmers. McCann needs dropped, I'd give Jakubiak one more chance with Wighton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Home win guaranteed. Think I'll fire along on Tuesday night. 3-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Thi might be the first time in ages that I won't even bother making an effort to stream this. Just don't feel excited at all by this side and the strategy employed by the manager. Its boring, ineffective and often offers a complete lack of goal threat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelty_par Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Chalmers and Allan are the same players, midfield far too passive with them in it. I’d go 4-4-1-1 Sharp Comrie Fisher Otoo Edwards KRH Hamilton Allan Moffat Todd Wighton Could be any picks for strikers and either chalmers or Allan as they’ve been miles off it. Fisher is lucky there’s no other CB’s as he’s been off the boil for a while too Edited November 26, 2023 by kelty_par Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Had booked train tickets a week ago but seriously wondering not to make the trip having watched on Friday. What a difference from the second half against Dundee Utd when I was happy with the performance and thought we were worthy of a draw. I wasn’t even angry with Friday’s performance , just dismayed.

I think it’s going to be a very difficult night. We are devoid of confidence and cohesion throughout the spine of our team. Maybe the change of manager at Arbroath will lift us rather than them. We do need to win one of the next two games or things really start to feel a bit dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelty_par Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Difference is we are just playing boys out of position hoping to do us a turn. Rovers go sign boys to give them cover. Don’t want to hear about ££, we ran with a small squad last year and now a few injuries and we are down to bare bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secure Par Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Otto and Hamilton should be in midfield but we have 2 CB’s injured..Allen and Chalmers cannot play together in CM..Allen is way of the pace and Chalmers just likes moving the ball and can’t tackle.

This is the problem. Injuries will happen but our cover at CB is midfielders and a right back. We need to get a natural centre back in to give cover and keep the back three on their toes. The squad is too thin. Edited November 26, 2023 by Tartan Army Par 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really expect a reaction from us. We really should be beating them on Tuesday, otherwise we'll be needing an influx of players come the New Year.

Raymie Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) A back four seems the sensible way to go until we have Benedictus and Breen available? That would mean Hamilton or Otoo could play in midfield. It would also allow Hosler and Moffat to concentrate more on attacking rather than having to track back so much. I would also give Wighton a few games. Jakubiak has as much chance of scoring as I do. comrie fisher Hamilton Edwards Allan Otoo Hosler Todd Moffat Wighton Edited November 26, 2023 by Raymie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any pars fan looks at the board meetings etc it’s a 7 year plan… The ground in Rosyth has started and will house all teams etc…. Patience is a virtue😅 A 7 year plan to get into the top flight? Cmon that’s a load of pish! Livingston on a fraction of our budget managed to do back to back promotions and have been great in the top flight until this season. 4th for me the now would just be paper over the cracks, plus it’s so tight at the minute we are only a defeat or 2 away from 9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
