SanStarko Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Fotheringham away to get an operation on his ankle so the end of his loan spell. Not like us to end up with injuries when we're running with a small squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 That’s unfortunate, to say the least. Closest replacement on the bench is…Arnott??? Not a good sign, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Maybe see more of Varian and Poppy with Zanatta slashing in from wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an absolute certainty to happen, wasn't it? I'm disappointed, partly because we're another man down and now struggling to fill a bench, and partly because I thought there was a hint in that Dunfermline match that Fotheringham could do us a turn in that number 10 role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its one back one out scenario Thought JMc was a bit coy in the interview on other injuries/illnesses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) 39 minutes ago, Ro Sham Bo said: The headline should read 'Red Zones abolished - kind of' I'd genuinely be shocked if ANY away club, including Raith Rovers when visiting other grounds, agreed to reduced social distancing. Why should they? For little or no benefit of changing in an actual changing room, they accept the risk that a single Covid case in the days afterward results in half the squad having to isolate or take costly PCR tests even if they are double vaccinated (which many are not). That statement is really just Raith themselves trying to pass the blame to the opposition when fans dont get their usual seats. Just as the JRG passed the buck to clubs with Monday's statement without actually changing much in underlying requirements.

TxRover Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 There is an unfortunate confluence in the loss of Kai and the loaning of McKay. With Kai out, I could easily see more play with three CB, allowing one or the other FB to freely range forward while the CB’s shift as needed, as we did with Killie. However, with McKay gone away on loan (correctly, I believe, given the situation at the time of the loan window closing), Musonda becomes our only depth at CB while he rounds into shape if Lang/Bene/Berra is our CB lineup. That may slow or halt JMcG’s plans for Frankie at DM. Additionally, Connolly doesn’t seem as capable of the full 90 minutes as Zanatta, and although that might be due to any of several factors, the loss of a like for like substitute is unfortunate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Great. That's our attacking options off the bench reduced to whichever of Varian or Poplatnik isn't playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Let’s give Mitchell and arnott a run out against east fife, we need to see what they can do, doubt it will happen because it’s a derby match( kind of) it’s unfortunate with fotheringham and this is what I was worried would happen but it has so need to utilise them in this period 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Not sure if we could strike some sort of deal but it appears Ethan Ross is free. Yes we would be due money to Aberdeen but could we not get something sorted to get him in the shop window and help us out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we would be due money to Aberdeen but could we not get something sorted to get him in the shop window and help us out. Supposedly there were pretty big clubs in England who were not willing to pay the sizeable development fee that would be due to Aberdeen. It strikes me though young Ethan is in some sort of a reverse Bosman situation here. Aberdeen clearly entitled by the rules to a fee but nobody willing to pay it so he’s stuck without a club. Is there a time limit on how long a player can remain a free agent a club still demand a fee? It seems a bit unfair on the lad if he wants to play football but Aberdeen can effectively prevent that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC1989 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I think our only options right now is the free agent market (those without a development fee) or to recall Keatings which I think would be even more embarrassing given how he left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can demand a fee till he turns 23. You cant recall Keatings, or anyone else on loan. Well, you can, but he wouldnt be permitted to play 1st team football before Jan 1st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't recall players outside of a window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
