That was however a MASSIVE 3 points for us today. Shankland worth every penny we are paying him as he will be the difference in a lot of games. Poor performance in a lot of areas from us today but Arbroath deserve a lot of credit for that. We'll play a lot better and lose so I'll take the 3 points every day of the week.

Anyone who has looked at Arbroaths results for the last year or so will see they don't give much away, they also seem to have a knack for getting a goal on the road, the fact they had lost just 3 goals in the 5 games before todays tells its own story, they will finish mid table and will be difficult opposition for everyone else including Ayr next week, still easy for them the goal we gave away Wych was there only effort on target but a good giruy scoring the winner after all the timewasting

Sporle did really well when he came on that was a positive playing in that area in one, McMullan was decent, Liam Smith at poor for 85 mins they became very decent the last few mins, Shankland was quiet but his him chances he puts them away now often than not, Appere had a poor game, Stanton poor today, Butcher need him back in the middle

Not at our best but won the game... that's all that matters, 5 wins from 6, 15 pts from 18, 3 wins from 3 at home, top of the table.
