The New Raith Rovers Thread
Kdawg replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
The reality is if we’d had a 15 goal striker, plus another experienced centre half, we probably would have finished inside the top four such are the fine margins in a very close league. -

You remind me of myself as a child when I went in the huff when my asked me to tidy my room. -

Why would it be Thomson or Ferguson? Tell me you’re Mike Delios without telling me you’re Mike Delios… -

I can’t help but feel that before anything on the park gets sorted, we need the ownership situation to be confirmed one way or another. I don’t think we are a million miles away from having a squad capable of competing for promotion, adding that quality whilst retaining the majority of the squad might not be possible with the current financial situation at the club though. -

Given Kdy and Dunfermline are similar in size and that the Pars have been underachieving for a number of years now, the fact they still manage to pull in 7,000 home fans for a midweek league one game is remarkable. What are they doing that we aren’t? We would be lucky to pull in half of that for a big game. -

No he didn’t. He was completely out of his depth at this level. Far too slow.

Some amount of haddies in that Arbroath squad these days. Unknown donkeys plucked from obscurity. We got caught out with big John but it looks like Dick Campbell has filled his boots with them. Back to the seaside leagues with you.

You’re right, and I am one of those critics. Today though, when he made the subs and changed to a back three, he absolutely got it right. That was a slugfest today, the sort of game we normally lose. A victory and level on points for a playoff space is very pleasing indeed!

I was thinking that myself. I might be type casting him a bit but I can imagine Dunc fancying a more ‘agricultural’ player in the middle of the park as opposed to a more technically minded one. -

Why on earth are we playing a friendly against Hibs? The last thing we need just now is any knocks or strains for first team players. It stinks of Murray wanting to do his old club a favour more than getting any benefit for us. -

What would you rather have, HMRC ‘not best pleased’ or looking after players and their families? Clubs should make the most of the scheme up until the point it’s removed. If that means an extra couple of wages for players, it will make a big difference to them. -

The scheme is designed to save people from unemployment... its not shafting the tax payer. -

You didn’t see him make a hash of it against Elgin in the cup too then? The reason the defence was solid was down to having a proper left back and Davo, who, apart from a couple of red mist moments, had a storming season by his standards. -

Glad I’m not the only one that thought Anderson wasn’t as good as some made out. Yeah he was decent, but to say he ‘fixed’ the defence etc is well over the top. -

Think about it this way, if we brought a player in, using the supporters fund to help pay the wages, what happens if the contributions stop and we can no longer afford to pay him? We would need regular contributions for a good while until there was enough to cover his contract surely? -

To be fair, the away changing rooms will be a lot smaller than he’s used to, you do have to climb up steep steps to get onto the pitch and we used to have a slope. Just what part of his statement are you so offended by? -

I fully agree with you. I’ve just finished emailing David Torrance asking him to put it forward for a public enquiry. He simply can’t be allowed to get away with this. -

Is that the same Gazza that said he was good friends with Raul Moat? Wouldn’t take what he says to be gospel! -

You’ll probably get him on loan once he’s our top scorer -

Mendy picked up a concussion during the Cowden game which wasn’t picked up until after the Cove game. That might go some way to explain his shocker against Dundee and Peterhead (wishful thinking I know) -

Not Flanagan, but if Anderson is the best part time winger/forward we can attract then we would be as well not bothering. When Dingwall and Vaughan come back, where does that leave the likes of Anderson? We could potentially have Vaughan, Dingwall, Victoria, Anderson and Bowie all vying for two places yet next to nothing at right back. -

Not so sure I’d agree with the recruitment being good... going with a hybrid of some part time was supposed to see us be able to attract the best part timers out there. Anderson: Backwards step. Was only average in his prime, doesn’t have enough to improve us. Miller: Quite like him but his injury problems don’t seem to be gone. Signing an injury prone player with our recent record is a huge risk. Spencer: Big disappointment for me. Don’t think he brings anything to the team. Gillespie was a better player and we were supposed to be making improvements to the squad. We absolutely need to be looking at the loan market for a right back or centre half. -

Highly unusual for someone to have scored more goals at Starks Park than the actual player in their profile picture and name! -

He was my MOTM today. I wasn’t too impressed with his crossing though, I’m sure it’ll come though. Jamie Watson on the right had a good game too.
