Prediction League Match 4 - Airdrieonians Vs Stirling Albion
By Stomp Admin
August 27 2014
Airdrie play out fourth match in the in the Scottish League one when we host Stirling Albion this weekend. We've played three games have no points, haven't scored a single goal in the league and have six goals against us. Tough times ahead?
I've came up with a formation that I think would solve all our problems.
McNeil
O'Neill, Proctor, Fitzpatrick, P Boyle
Richards-Everton
Blockley ------- Watt
Parker
Lister Kirwan/ Boyle
The justification is simple, the defence needs help!
Parker is doing more work outside the box or on the wings than in the penalty box
Lister plays most most of the game with his back to goals, so we need a poacher a player who can score goal moth goals. The alternative is whole sale change and that's not going to happen.

It looks as though seventeen people still have to predict so this could obviously change by the weekend.
Stirling banged in five last Saturday so dangers are there to be seen, but the Diamonds must at long last find the net in the league this season, I think therefore its going to be 2-2
Does the width in this team came from the full backs? I don't think the loan player would work outside a back four? Last weeks team maybe needed rejigging but the shape was ok; if fit I would play Proctor (not Blockley) where McCormack played last season but don't think Bain should be "dropped"-he could give us width on right side? 4-4-2
McNeil
O'Neill, Richards-Everton, Fitzpatrick, P Boyle
Bain Proctor Watt Cadden

But as I have no skill in managing any football team I will leave it to GB and moan later!
Do any of the many veteran Airdrieonians remember the chip shop on Gartlea road/Hogg Street junction run by Eddie and Cathy and whether it had a name? It was always good for a fish supper aftere walking back from a home win-maybe Saturday will bring another win although take aways these days tend to be a curry!

<> Was that the one where the Chinese takeaway is now? Can't remember it before it was a Chinese! On the opposite corner was of course RJ Cross (where McDonalds is), the other corner (where the new(er) houses are) was wasteground for years (at one time the market was there) and of course houses on the other corner (Roberto's chip shop up from the corner, was it not a general store/shop before?). <>
