Walking Down The Halbeath Road
Chubbychops replied to Parscelona's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I don't think he is much a loss to be honest. Got natural ability but looks like a lost wee laddie. Hope he's not injured though. -
Heard he was holding out for the mighty Rovers.

Hope we can be in the same league next year. Much harder division from the last time you were relegated half a decade ago. Billy big baws now aye? Wait till next year.... League one is miles off it. Beating pub teams is giving you a false sense of security folks.

Aye. I sadly think Raith might win this league. God knows how Goodwin keeps getting top jobs. Terrible manager.

Think he's saying he expected a loss more than a comfortable win.

Don't think it is. We were very good but you could see the drop off when Chalmers and Allan were in midfield last 15. Also the change to back three made us look more vulnerable.

Key players coming back for us is a game changer. KRH and Todd make us far more of a goal threat. Jak was unbelievable. Still Chris Kane to come back too. Much more like it. You could see the difference last 15 when we had Chalmers and Allan as our midfield compared to Hamilton and Otoo starting the game. Night and day. Also the move to back three was clearly a change for the worst. One final word about Fagan-Walcott. Take a bow son, won everything in there. He and Jak are a toss up for MOM. Both had fantastic games.

Walking Down The Halbeath Road
Chubbychops replied to Parscelona's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I'll jump on this too and agree. It's too cautious. Attack seems to be an after thought. I also refer back a couple years to Meggle calling attack as the ''salt in the soup'' when he was defending Peter Grant. It seems to be in our culture around the club to regard attack as a finishing touch to a team rather than a very important part of winning games. This is why I see Kane as such an important player for us, as he is able to keep the ball up the park for us when we are such a negative, safe team. -

I think Kane will get goals. He's been in the top division for the last 6-7 years. Quite common for players to find scoring goals easier when dropping a division. Also think he could help Matty Todd score goals too. -

I think it's clear that he brings more than goals to the team though. He brings others into play and keeps the ball well. We seem to play for longer in the final 3rd when he's playing. I think he's a really good player at this level that most sides in this league would want in their starting 11 every week. -

Don't mind us struggling that much if there's some hope that things will change but under McPake I'm now doubting anything will change. First reason is the length of contracts he's dished out to players that won't improve. For example, Wighton, Mehmet, Chalmers, O'Halloran, Breen and Comrie will never get better now. Dare I say, I'm even doubting McCann will get better despite his age. He has so many games and looks worse than he did two years ago. We're now stuck with them and they are not good enough. Second reason is his inability to sort out our attack. He struggled last year and it should've been the number one area to improve this year but he's made it worse. At least Todorov had a goal in him. He brought Jakubiak in and they guy simply can't finish. He's not a striker. It took the whole summer for McPake to come up with that option too. Kane does look good but again we can't keep him fit and on the park. It's not just the players we have up top either though. The attacking set-up just doesn't work. Everybody plays as individuals and nobody is on the same wave length. Nobody anticipates in the box. Nobody busts a gut to get on to the end of crosses. Never many bodies in the box. Nothing has changed in two seasons. McPake I now believe doesn't have the ability to sort our attack out. We might stay up but if we do, I think next season we will be struggling again. Too much loyalty shown to players from winning league one has hamstrung us and a manager that doesn't know how to set a team up to score. -
