The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Hello Rovers fans! Curious as to how the team has looked early on this season. Judging by results it’s been a fairly inconsistent start but does Murray seem like an improvement on McGlynn? Also curious as to how Easton and Connell have been getting on. Easton obviously was phenomenal for us last season but I was never sure how he’d find the step up to the Championship. Connell’s a player I liked a lot when we had him on loan during the Covid season and he seemed to do very well with East Fife last year, but again unsure how he’d find the step up.

It definitely said there was live commentary from the game on an advert on bbc one Scotland earlier. No sign of it. 

Yeah said that they would cover the match last night and Alistair Lamont cannot even get it right on who Cove are playing when just after 3 he says  "Cove versus Arbroath" absolutely hopeless, all this lot are interested in is the ugly sisters.

Slow start, partially due to defensive shortages. Seems to be rounding into a bit better shape, but IM’s tactics do get a little annoying sometimes. He persists, much like JMcG did, in certain things and players. Easton has been inconsistent, but looks pretty decent…Connoll came alive last week, we’ll see where that goes. If he’d get that 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-3-2 to f**k now and then and adjust more to opponents and our players, we wouldn’t be as frustrated, but he does love it!

seen nothing to suggest 4-2-3-1  isn’t the right set up for our current squad, particularly with the players due to return, and it’s been the formation we’ve started every league win with as well.

I disagree. It’s fine as the squad basic line-up, but will be vulnerable to adjustments by other teams in the League if we don’t have the ability to mix it up. I’m also not sold on our single striker abilities anyway.

I never said the manager should never mix it up. You told someone the manager should get the 4-2-3-1 to f**k, and in my opinion, having seen every game in full and knowing we have 2 strong deeper midfielders and a 10 to come back, is that he should keep it. Last week our centre forward scored and assisted, and going by the pictures today, we are going to have another option up top too. Every game we’ve played a 4-4-2 we’ve looked vulnerable imo - that could be down to the personnel in there and if so IM will know this.

I said get his love of 4-2-3-1/4-1-3-2 to f**k and be willing to adjust to opponents, play and needs. In the first quarter of the season, he seems a bit preoccupied on shoehorning our players into his preferred system. Sorry if that seems offensive.

Really let the old creative juices flow with that one tx

It’s Country music out here or they string you up. ‘Course, I was listening to Cash’s cover of Hurt, and thought for a bit he was a Raith fan because it fit so well.
