However I do agree, I was just stating he's an option and I reckon he will play against Dunbar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, and it’ll be good to see him in action. As for spelling, I got points off for using the “u” and spelling “wagon” as “waggon” in fifth grade (Year Six) after emigrating, so it’s engrained. At least I don’t parade around in a budgie smuggler though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Completely depends on the quality of the replacement. Happy to trust the manager, but it does put a wee bit of a spotlight on things now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Starting to look like our 1st likely starting line-up could be: MacDonald, Millen, Young, Berra, Dick, Brown, Spencer, Stanton, Gullan, Easton, Ross, Would expect there to be at least a couple of trialists included on the bench with Thomson, Conolly, Zanatta, Arnott, Coulston, Mitchell, Masson and Mahady. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Musonda confirmed at Ayr. Murray better have players in his mind for the centre of our defence as he has let two perfectly good defenders leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray better have players in his mind for the centre of our defence as he has let two perfectly good defenders leave. I think calling Benedictus "perfectly good" may be stretching it bit. I dunno, I know I keep banging on this drum but a lot of folk seemed happy to re-sign the entire defence that last season leaked like a seive. Now, obviously defending isn't just something that happens in the first third of the pitch, and likely McGlynn's latter day method of pushing his full backs up would leave us quite open on the counter but there was still a lot of examples of us not defending the box very well. A lot of individual errors as well. Of the four defenders who played for us and were out of contract: Tumilty I wanted to keep but was fairly sure we wouldn't. Musonda, based on that season, rather than his first 6 months or so I wasn't really fussed one way or the other. Benedictus I was hoping would go as he looked well past his best and Mackie was no better than Dick, who also isn't very good. A rebuild isn't the worst idea in the world. Obviously there is a risk in twisting rather than sticking, and I may yet be eating Mt words when we sign the second coming of Ross Perry. The issue with our half and half season, our 5th place finish is that you can adequately make the case for any player to be 'good enough' to keep around. However, even when we were doing well last season we leaked goals for fun. I think bringing in Brown to give us an extra tackler in midfield should help, but we shouldn't be adverse to the notion of trying something new. Understandable that the frustration is that nothing has happened at all since last Tuesday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I think a wee Raith tv interview with the gaffer would help at the moment even if it is to say work is ongoing towards new players and a discus bout the game on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 FFP saying Vaughan underwent a minor operation which was unrelated to his ACL. It shouldn't need much rehab and that he should be back from it quite quickly and into training again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/football/raith-rovers-murray-presses-point-in-pre-season-3742389 no new signings this week and tbh disappointed in his choice of words regarding new players, we need a striker and 2 x centre backs or we will be in trouble imo . It is a long window but you might be left with the dross or banking on some 19 year old loanee Edited June 23, 2022 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musonda was played out of position or he wasn't good enough in his prefered position so he was used as a utility player. We will never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I'm starting to think that Murray is unaware that Tom Lang is actually injured and will be for some time yet. It's the only reason I can think of for his somewhat laid back approach to signing a centre back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly plus Berra was basically missing most of the 2 nd half of the season, don’t like this laid back approach of something will happen at all , the old saying of a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush springs to mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Have to trust the manager. A lack of rumours does not automatically equate to a lack of business or progress. It is a fair point that our defence was horrendous at times, so losing 2 centre backs is not necessarily the worst thing - but its all about the quality of new recruits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
