fenski Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 And I hope Fitzpatrick scores at least one them, to help with his confidence and so we get a bit of a break on here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Logan Chalmers especially prominent. Best player on the park by a mile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Fitzy has put in a decent showing. A few lung-bursting runs from deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Fair excuse for any scrappiness with wind and bouncy pitch. Fitzpatrick appears to have a free role and also swapped wing with Chalmers on occasion. Two goals have come thru pressuring them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted December 21, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Great first half-performance. Could have been 4 or 5 up but playing with a bit of confidence throughout the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Just a shame about Falkirk’s late winner. Other than that, a decent set of results. Hopefully this game gets a bit of the confidence back and we can move well clear of Queens Park next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1876 Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Very good first half performance and a good second half rearguard gets us 3 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted December 21, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Comfortable win. Myles with some decent stops. No arguments but Airdrieonians are a poor team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Yet again we should have been out of sight at half time, and what happens they come out and have a go at us, still 3 points won, but we do make it hard for us at times...

jaggy Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 2nd half was poor and it was lucky for us that Myles made a few good saves as welL as vital blocks by Turner, Ashcroft and others. I guess Megwa wasn’t fit enough to come on. Also surprised that we kept Banzo on after his yellow card and foul right after it. It was a bit of a risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 I thought we played ok. Never really got out of 2nd gear today but then again we didn't have to because Airdrie are just not very good. Even their fans didn't really put up any contest. Quietest home support in a long time. Ashcroft and O'Reilly are a very good centre half pairing. Aschroft is particular is a class above anything else on display. Great to see O'Reilly get a goal.

I thought our only real failing in the second half was a combination of poor distribution out of defence and not holding/controlling the ball upfield often/long enough. And the very guy you want to do the latter was on the pitch but Wee Stevie didn't really get started today. Going to three at the back was I feel the right move but it does lead to deeper defending. Even so I'm chuffed with the result. Overall played some decent football given the windy conditions, and on an artificial surface as well.

Jaggernaut Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 A win on plastic!! Well done, Jags, and to all the R&Y army guys who deservedly saw the victory in what were terrible conditions in and around Airdrie. And the weather wasn't very appealing either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 It is worth replaying on JagZone the whole build up to our first goal. It is actually an amazing team goal emanating from an Airdrie corner, and does include some backwards and sideways passes. Ashcroft wins the header from the corner and the ball falls at the edge of our box to Crawford. He releases Fitzpatrick who takes the ball deep down the right. He then turns looking for support and the move seems to lose momentum as Turner, Graham, Bannigan and Fitzpatrick exchange passes and eventually the ball is recycled back to Ashcroft who plays the big switch to the left. This was the only moment when there seemed to be any danger of possession being surrendered, but Sayers does well to bring the ball down and feed it to Robinson who slides in Chalmers. His perfect cross is met by Graham and the perfection of the move is only slightly spoiled by the Airdrie keeper getting a touch before the ball crosses the line. I count 9 of our players being in the move, with Ashcroft, Fitzpatrick, Turner and Graham all having at least 2 involvements. No doubt O'Reilly was making a good off the ball run. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this may not be the reason but could be. Returning from my wee jaunt behind enemy lines (gate crashing the pre match rally in their Hofbrauhaus), I couldn't help but notice a rather OTT police contingent encamped outside the corner of our stand. The corner where our singing section were. Out of sight but literally only a few yards away. I guess if there had been any flares let off etc, the polis would've been in and about things pronto.

What would be the attraction? Simply a "new face?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
