Firstly it looks like there should be no problem with the game being on, The pitch was fine yesterday and we've had no frost over night, and the forecast is looking good for tonight.

As for the game, County need to do something we haven't managed all season so far, and that is win a third game on the trot. We need to do this just to keep the pressure on Raith, meaning this weekends game at Starks Park could be huge for both clubs.

But before that we have to concentrate on the Peterhead game. County have won both games against them this season, but both by a a single goal margin. Ironically a lot of people have slated the Peterhead keeper this season, but he was all that stopped Peterhead getting a right doing in the first game in Dingwall, and although he costs a goal in the game in Peterhead in November, he still managed to pull of a string of excellent saves that day..

County have signed Partick's winger Adam Strachan on a six month deal, so he is now available for selection, he has been training with the club for around 3 weeks now, and played a couple of bounce games with the team, it was just the signing restrictions that have stopped him from playing in the first team, so hopefully he is already settled and able to slot into the team.

Defensively I think we are still a little weak, I'm not sure what is happening with Scott Boyd, his loan deal has expired although he was still with the squad on Saturday at Hampden, but I'm not sure if he is re-joining us or not.

Adam Strachan is going to be very, very interesting. Give our record of signings made at this time of year, I'll guess he plays about ten games between now and the end of the summer, but is released and ends up at Ayr or Stranraer.

I know the Partick guys on the first division forum were saying the Scott Boyd deal is a done one, but maybe Sean Webb will get a chance?

From what I'm hearing I think Sean Webb is going to extend his loan deal with Achrington Stanley.

Mon the heed !

They aren't alot of stats for our encounters with Peterhead. This will be the fourth meeting in the SFL and we have won all previous encounters by one goal each time. This is only Peterhead's second visit to Victoria Park since election.

I imagine it will be a bigger than usual crowds as alot of people have been back for Xmas or New Year. I imagine County will win this one also, but history suggests it will be the one goal. 1-0.

no offence guys but this is a fucking public forum frequented by fans of all clubs, if you didn't want others commenting on it you would have been better putting it on the County website.

Get your dummy back in your mouth, it was a joke aimed at the "uppity basturts" comment. As proved by yourself there, Raith are indeed the uppity basturts.

Peterhead have signed Rory MacAllister on loan from us for a month. County better watch out now!

I bet the useless c**t scores today.

[Savage Henry]

Barrowman makes it 2-1 right on the stroke of half time.

If MacAllister isn't going to have an impact, another ex-Tink Blobby Mann has.

post Christmas/New Year Bobby Mann shouldn't strike fear into the hearts of our attack.

You really need to keep your mouth shut before games

[Savage Henry]

Get in there. 3-1.

Scullion of Cowdenbeath hasn't done his team any favours though...

[RCR]

looks like everyone wants a goal! That's 5-1 now. Shame raith are now winning and airdrie are now drawing.

Can't believe I forgot the football was on...

[Savage Henry]

Four blow outs and a draw today... second division for goals!

There be no draws 'ere

sadly...

[MTJ]

Did Adam Strachan play? If so did he make any impact?

[bluetooner]

I wish i had forgotten about this game.

Maybe that will start the ball rolling on getting some of the waste of money out of Balmoor we have.

i noticed that on the team sheet before the match and wondered if it was himself from caley. He didnt make much impact due to the dominance of us.

He started on the left wing and played centre-mid for half of the 2nd period.
Adds abit of width and pace on the wing and to our midfield which we have lacked this season. Always willing to take people on and i thought he was superb as was most of our players today.
