DA Baracus Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 45 minutes ago, Enigma said: I think the Pars have played a bit of a blinder here. I thought as soon as all this happened a club that was willing and able to splash the cash a bit could built a right good squad due to the amount of players looking for a club. Crawford showed last close season that he had targets in mind very early on and moved to make them. This close season looks like the same and it seems as if he had been speaking to Watson and Whittaker for a while. Also it seems that he knew Nisbet was going and had guys lined up to sign once the Nisbet deal was done, which is why it they all happened on the same day. Also the wage bill will be way down due to the annual summer clear out, so he might be able to offer one or two guys a wee bit more. Remains to be seen what he can get them to do on the pitch, as there are still concerns over him as a manager, but he seems to be really good at getting signings done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it could all be a bit of a stand off until the players get a reality check. McGlynn said exactly that in the bulletin. One thing that might happen is that with a shortened season we end up running on an overall smaller squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 He done OK in the window last year but we still went into the season with Scully in goals, Andy Ryan as Nisbets strike partner and absolutely no cover out wide, we had a player called Coley who disappeared pretty quickly. As a squad its certainly looking stronger this year, as you say though the judgement is still out on him as a manager though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say Norwich but probably wrong... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive he left them to join a team lower in the pyramid, had allot of pace and I thought he was OK but his game intelligence wasn't fantastic. Good luck for the court case thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banks possibly might be sent out again 1st half of the season to the championship he was ripping it up at Cove.

It's hard to say what we'll need as we haven't announced who we are retaining yet due to this ongoing nonsense. We've lost almost all our forwards for one reason or another but other than probably central midfield we'll be hoping to improve the quality in all areas of the pitch I would guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new manager however might feel a couple of frees, loans and the youth academy might be his policy its early in his reign to tell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanElderRRFC Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Rovers legend Shaun Dennis took charge of the club’s match against Partick Thistle as they searched for a new manager following the departure of Claude Anelka.Raith began to show signs of improvement under new boss Gordon Dalziel as they picked up a point at home to Hamilton.After a winless run of 11 games, Raith Rovers finally got their first three points of the season as they beat St. Johnstone 1-0 at Stark’s Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hamilton match - conceding goals from direct free kicks isn't just unique to the last few years for us then. St Johnstone match - noted the proper thuggery by the St Johnstone right back there. I doubt he ever amounted to anything... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks once again for all of your efforts @DanElderRRFC I generally didn't watch the highlights programmes, so it's still a bit weird to see all these goals I've not seen since they happened. Or, in the case of Partick's first minute effort there, goals I missed altogether 'cause we were still getting a cup of tea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRyan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Quality highlights again from Dan.Didn’t know there would be any clips of the great Rudy Pussy [emoji23][emoji23].Fucking hell how did he nearly spill that in like that [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
