The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

That Falkirk goal, Baird to Craigen is a perfect example of how as a club we have stood still for the last few years and shown very little desire to progress any further than the middle of the Championship!

Never mind....

League One isn't hard as long as you get 2000+ crowds and outspend everyone else.

Ayr, Alloa/Brechin and Airdrie could be decent competition. Don't go down the youth route like we did, just sign experienced guys and physically bigger players for the key positions.

 

The 1st bit will be tricky for us.

the second bit though is something I've always said, you need big brutes to do well in that league.

Yup, we won that league with big brutes like Joe Cardle, Josh Falkingham, Andy Geggan, Michael Moffatt, Faisel El Bakhtoui, Michael Paton, Rhys McCabe, Jason Talbot, Ryan Wallace, Calum Fordyce, Shaun Byrne, David Hopkirk, Lewis Spence, Lewis Martin, Ryan Williamson

edit: unless you are Jim Jefferies

Feel like I point this out every time but JJ can only really be criticised for losing the Cowden game. It was a totally unique league with Rangers involved and no manager would have managed to win the league ahead of them. We finished 2nd at an absolute canter but fucked up at the last hurdle. Any other season and JJ would have easily won promotion.

Relegated twice and seventh in the third division. I appreciate that he worked under tough conditions.

  • Basically already relegated in the SPL.
  • Was challenging for the title before admin hit and squad was decimated
  • Despite a poor start, left EEP with us just five points off the top of the table in 4th.
