Arbroath v Annan Athletic
A beautiful late summer afternoon at Gayfield, sunny, warm and hardly a breath of wind. Shame the football was so dull in comparison. We were the better side in the first half, hitting the post and the bar but Annan packed their box when we attacked and we couldn't find a way through.
Second half we were bloody awful, as bad as at any time last season, and it was hardly surprising when Annan took the lead. We struggled and were very lucky to get a point that we hardly deserved when McCord scored from close in with virtually the last kick of the game, in a crowded goalmouth, with Annan appealing for offside.
Our substitutions were made far too late, Prunty was hardly in the game and could have been subbed at half time and the other subs should have been given more game time to make an impact.
We supposedly have a lot of the better players in this league and if that's true it's time for them to start showing what they can do because none of them looked any better than the Annan hoofers. The manager needs to get the defence sorted out, Ricky Little is not a full back.
Hard to take any positives from the game, we'll need to be a lot better next week.
