I'm Kiddin' . Knew it would sell out, it's the club I fear for, something still "no quite right"

Tough opening game, they will be well up for it and full of fight and intensity, they got the confidence boosting win at the weekend in a Derby with Montrose

I still fancy us to edge it and if we do then it's positive, however I won't be writing its off either, if we can keep a cleansheet too that would be a statement

Some of their results have been honking. Confidence-boosting win or not we should be beating them. No excuses.

That's a simplistic way to look at it, our early results were rubbish too, they have by all accounts strengthened and just needing to find the right line up, the last result will have lifted them and they'll be confident coming into this, gonna be a tough one, tougher than Carlisle but one we can win if we defend right

Damn right it's simplistic, we should be beating f*cking Arbroath. Cue the clown emojjis

I spoke with one of the Arbroath staff last week and he says that they have signed a few players from the lower leagues and a back up goalkeeper from the juniors who may not even be fit for Friday as he has an injured hand/wrist so I don't think they've strengthened. It looks more like they have brought in players to replace the loanees from their make or break January transfer window so imo they should be weaker than they were when they went on a good run from January to stay up and it will be tough but we should still be looking to win with a bit to spare.

Of course we should always be looking to beat Arbroath but football isn't always like that is it? Barcelona should never get beat by the likes of us but it's happened many times...
