We definitely did not have the bones of a decent side when we got relegated last time around. Most Pars fans were predicting a play off finish at best, indeed some said we wouldn't even get that far. McPake cobbled together a squad of youngsters on loan (Otoo, Fisher, KRH, Mahon) and added 2 proper decent signings in Hammy and Bene (who Raith fans were keen to tell us league 1 was his level)
McPake is definitely toiling just now and there are several reasons behind that, some he could be blamed for, others entirely outwith his control but I'd rather be relegated with him than have the rape apologist, no amount of Rovers revisionism will change that.
