It was always going to be a tough fixture with Arbroath feeling hard done by their defeat at Ayr United last week where they felt a couple of errors let them down in a game they more than matched their hosts. We were encouraged by an opening day performance against the Pars that only lacked the killer instinct. Gayfield is not an easy place to pick up points these days.....
A minutes silence was observed ahead of kick-off after the tragic death of Minnie Merriman on 3rd August at the tender age of nine.
â¤ï¸ Rest in peace young angel ♥ï¸
As it turned out, another scoreless game for the Caley Jags and another MotM performance by the opposition keeper, coupled with our inability to hit the back of the net resulted in another point when three were there for the taking. Sadly, football is just a game as events of the last week cast a shadow over the town of Arbroath. 😢
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the game underway, Adam Mackinnon was first to threaten but it was no test for McAdams in goal. Chances were difficult to come by, but the Smokies had a let off after a McGill pass back saw Alfie Bavidge in on goal after twenty minutes but his effort went wide of the target. Five minutes later Andy Winter had the hosts first moment but his shot was blocked. Danny Devine shot over before a Calum MacLeod cut back saw Bavidge's shot blocked and then Noa Boutin cut one back for Shinnie but the keeper denied him. The visitors enjoyed the bulk of the play but approaching half time the score remained blank.
HALF TIME 0-0
Charlie Dewar came on to replace Scott Stewart at the interval and Shinnie set Boutin in but his effort went just wide at the beginning of the second-half. Ryan Duncan was close to connecting with a ball in from Liam sole and just after an hour Alfie Stewart's free kick from outside the box was saved in the bottom corner by McAdams before liam Sole's header was scrambled onto the post before being cleared. The home keeper was busy again keeping a Morgan Bates header out with Shinnie firing the follow-up over the bar. Ryan Dow curled a late effort just wide as Arbroath looked to snatch all three points. We ended the game with a flourish of corners but our inability to put the ball in the net once again cost us dear with Smokies keeper Aiden McAdams named as MotM.
FULL TIME: 0-0
Mantis was optimistic and pessimistic in equal shares:
"Should have had it sewn up by half time. Second half was more even but we’re a far better side than Arbroath. I can’t even remember their two off target shots. Can’t see where the goals are coming from...shrugs?
