D'Jaffo Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 After our bad I can't really see us getting much from this one. We played okay in the 2nd half against Falkirk but were abysmal is the 1st half. Depending on who is back from injury for this I would start Wardrope.

Rovers1992/1993 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hopefully we can't play anywhere near as bad as yesterday again. That was horrendous to watch. I'm putting that down to the weather. Hopefully. Coustrain to start for me ahead of Callaghan. Move Matthews into the middle alongside Jordan Thompson. I also think McManus needs to be rested. Even though he hasn't really done much to deserve a start, I'd play Vaughan over McManus to give McManus a bit of time on the bench. Either that or Skacel but McManus definitely needs dropped. Also, FFS leave Scott Roberts on the bench. Apart from scoring a screamer against Dumbarton when we were already 2-0 up, he has done f**k all else yet gets the last half hour every week. Waste of a sub. Hopefully get to see a bit of Osei later on if it goes smoothly as well. Or realistically ignore everything I've just said, we'll go with the same team as yesterday with the same subs and we'll lose 0-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Same team as Saturday, we can't keep a clean sheet every week. 1-0 Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 This has 1-0 Ayr written all over it. It'll be one of those freezing nights where you spend the whole 90 minutes wondering why you bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'd forgotten Gary Harkins played for Ayr. He's usually good for a penalty or free kick against us. Changes are needed in midfield/upfront. I like Matthews, but he is not a right midfielder and can't offer much going forward. We get away with this when Thomson's playing as he'll tuck in behind him when Thomson goes forward, but it won't work when we've Davidson there as he's a stop gap. Up front, I think it's time to give Vaughan another chance as McManus seems to be resulting in us lumping the ball at him of late. It'll happen when creativity is stifled in midfield, so time to give Coustrain a shot or change the shape a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith25 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 It's hardly a must-win. Considering Falkirks on 22 points and if queens win their game takes them to 21 points I'd treat it like a must win, need some breathing room between us and 5th.

North Terrace Gazza Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Take a draw right now but suspect it will be a 1 nil win for someone, just not sure which team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Given our position and the amount of games left, this is not a "must win". It is however a game that, on paper, we should be aiming to win. To do that we will have to look a bit more like scoring some goals, however.

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 We could really do with a win. I agree with the general sentiment that this has 0-1 and no shots or threat from us written all over it. Hopefully this is another occasion where a performance springs from out of the blue, a la Falkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
