So frustrating

[Fargone]

Sheerin "we threw everything at Airdrie but just couldn't score, even against 10 men". Story of our season, being unable to grind out a deserved result, allowing near rivals a big advantage. Great effort but not much quality or composure - view external link (www.arbroath-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/so_frustrating_827734/index.shtml)

Sums it up perfectly for me. There is no doubt that PS knows what he is trying to achieve with this team but has been let down all season by a vulnerability at the back.

Agree with others that we've not been good enough all season. However there has been some bite an purpose in the displays these last few weeks which we could have done with earlier. And it is this as well as the determination shown again yesterday that means I haven't given up yet

I've been wondering whether the more purist football approach espoused by Sheerin and enjoyed by the fans has also, on its more negative reverse side, been the reason we haven't had the players or the toughness to grind out results.
