Aye, we tried that, once. -
Rovers v Airdrie - Tuesday 09/04
lgb61 replied to AllanJM's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Unfortunately Tuesday will see us consigned to play off football, we don't have a premier league standard squad or manager, I don't care what the happy clappers say. It's all well and good beating the Arabs and the Pars but we have struggled against QP, Arbroath & Airdrie, that is not the sign of a top flight team. Having said that, obviously we will now skoosh it by 3 goals on Tuesday, Utd will get the shiters up them and we will stroll to the title! -

He did but chose to play him at CB, again! Corr will never develop into the player we need him to be if IM won't give him game time, he may be young and make mistakes but he knows the position, I actually think he would have done well beside Murray or Watson coaching him through the game. -

And that is exactly what will make them more dangerous, guaranteed they will find that extra 10% against us, they always do. All this talk of hitting them for a hatfull is a nonsense, I'll take another one goal win, secure the points and give the guys a couple of days off before we smash the pars. -
Goodwin must stay, look at the early season form and the goals you were banging in, this is just a wee blip like other teams have had, plus we all know Goodwin is crap at getting teams out of a wee slump so it will give the other teams a good chance of catching you You have a good squad, they are just being made to look mediocre now, whether that is the amount of games being played in this period or crap tactics and a lack of motivation I don't know, but if you're sitting top of the league and you can't go out motivated to give 100% and win every match, if you're not then that is a leadership issue!

The game and crowd was pretty flat until Hamilton went in on their keeper, that, for me, turned the game, got some fire in the bellies of the players and crowd. And Stants was back, just quietly doing what Stants does, thought he played his more defensive role superbly tonight. Now if we can just get Dick to pass to a Rovers player instead of humping it up the park every time we might do even better. -
Dundee United vs Raith Rovers, 16 Dec…

I saw him trying to stretch his back out towards the end of the Partick game the other week, hope it is nothing long term and can be managed -

Several posters have commented that X can cover here and Y can cover there, unfortunately the way the game is these days, being able to cover isn't going to win titles. To an extent football is getting more like the US version with absolute specialists in each area, yes they may be able to cover for 15 minutes maybe longer if needs be due to injury or dismissals during a match and I appreciate Murray likes players who can play different roles but I think you need at least one specialist in each position and, with a squad of 22, the same available as back up. I know that is the perfect scenario, having 2 full 11 a side teams to choose from and it does pose issues as to who goes on the bench and who misses out but that is where the data analysts come in, working out what positions, in a normal 90 mins, are likely to require the use of subs. It also does not permit much in the way of flexibility of formation or tactics however, if you have 2 specialists in every position, playing the same formation every match, surely the odds of a positive result would be improved, or am I just blethering shite as usual -

Lets hope this new talent dude spots someone sharpish then Curious where the funding for all this additional support staff is coming from, must be impacting the playing budget surely, cannot see the new 'owners' bankrolling all this work and extra staff without a tangible return, if not this season certainly next term -

You would like to think so but.......... Suspect they will go for the cheap option (financially) and offer Fallon the job, then sack him at Christmas when relegation is staring them in the face again. Mind you, nobody expected The Snake to turn up at Station Park so who knows what they have up their collective sleeves this time. -

Still nothing about the snake on the FGR website, given he was on a rolling contract to May25 can't imagine there would be much compo to sort out. Fallon seems a decent guy but surely the club needs someone with experience of senior football management to take it forward -

Mullin signing doesn't excite me as much as a decent keeper or big mobile centre back with positional sense and no need to dive in would
