Airdrieonians: Ferguson, Stewart, McIntosh, Gorman, MacDonald, Conroy, Brown, Hutton, Schmidt, Leitch, Russell

Not such a bad lineup really. Seems the Russell fears were unfounded.
Still, even a draw today would be a positive result.

Bit worried now. Away to Stranraer is always hard and also the Rovers. If we're being totally honest some players aren't good enough for the fight. Schmidt is pointless if he can't score a goal. Midfield not as good as many think. What do you guys think?

Well..I'm often criticised for being critical.

TW did say there would be a lot of bumps and grinds along the road...and on that we can all agree !!

Didn't manage today but from what I hear we were at it again...lumping high balls up to Lithgow & Chrichton

Being critical though..there has to be a review of the playing staff..some were brought in under the previous regime and are not good enough. Some new recruits are also required..that is stating the obvious.

So if Messrs Dalziel and Wilson can find time outwith their broadcasting duties..lets get some new blood into this team..decent quality of course.

Its fine to be close to the top of the league..but if these changes/additions are not made the situation could become.....critical !!

Not a lot between the teams in goal chances but they have a more composed and quick way of playing. When you think that they could take off their two best forwards and still bring on Cadden and Mullin while we rely on Leighton and Loudon(both of whom are good prospects) that tells you how far behind we are in squad terms.Thought we started quite well but when they scored it looked like a long day ahead. Never really offered much up front where Schmidt failed to show that he can challenge Ryan for a start. Nothing stuck with him even when it was not a pointless high ball. Brown was so light weight it gave no real pace/width. Curiously their missed chances ,especially Buchanan in first half, meant there was still a chance of stealing a point but Conroy twice failed to put in decent free kicks and indeed that was what caused the 2nd. A draw would have flattered us but there were good performances by Gorman/McIntosh who should be kept together for as long as possible. The wee guy Loudon put in a fair shift and might well replace Brown or Schmidt at Stranraer. Livingston will win the League unless they do a "Morton" from many years ago. Hard games coming up but we knew that anyway
