The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

The big issue is going to be where the goals come from. Nisbet got 30 league goals and Buchanan and Duggan (if fit) are 10-15 goal a season men who we need to adequately replace.
 
We’ve got in Victoria/Vitoria who is a 10 goal a season man, so we’re a bit short unless the midfield are all going to chip in a bit more. I suppose it depends on whether Vaughan will be fit for a full season.
 
Nisbet was a 5 goals in 60 games man, or something stupid like that, before he joined us. Reserve judgement until they're actually playing.

I don't know if it's a misunderstanding but someone on our forum was saying that there was quite an ominous tweet by your boy Matthew Elder yesterday evening. Said tweet is now removed but was apparently saying that there was a meeting of some sort with staff yesterday and people were leaving quite upset.
Anything to that?
It was a retweet from when we were relegated.

Cheers, that clears things up!

I wonder if the club will release any pictures of the first day of pre season training. I know they usually have in the past. Good fun trying to work out any unfamiliar faces.

We're certainly not done in terms of signings, so need to see who comes in yet.

Either that or they'd heard the Michael Miller deal had fallen through.

Maybe it’s like buses. No 25-30 league goal strikers for a few years then two come along at once.

I doubt it, but anything is possible.

Who was top scorer in McKinnon's season, Hardie? Stewart? Definitely spread the goals around that season.

This is correct. People are writing off Victoria already, and in all honesty I'm absolutely fine with that. If he's putting a shift in, and we've got Vaughan, Hendry and Spencer in the mix, it might free up a bit of space for him going forward he might not have had at previous clubs.

We didn’t score a lot of goals that season until Hardie showed up. It was probably one of those two.

There’s one picture on the ‘Rovers Digest’ email of pre season training. Apparently they were back yesterday.

Looks like Davo has re-signed. There are five players in the picture, 2 I’m not sure on. The other three are McGurn, Bene and Davo.

Not the easiest of pictures to check but the other two are possibly MacDonald and McKay?

I think Dave McKay is the furthest away in the photo, and I’m assuming the player next to McGurn is MacDonald going by the number 3 on his top.

It is MacDonald and McKay.

McKay - good. Davidson - I’m more annoyed about that than losing Murray and Nisbet. What a fucking disaster.

Next defender needs to be able to cover LB/CB. No point signing another rigid centre back. Should rule out McGeever?
