roverthemoon Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Just looking at the clubs fixtures. Including the two cup ties, it means that 7 out of the next 9 matches are away from home. That can’t be great for the club’s cash flow. I know we’ve just had a run of Saturday home games, but still. Hopefully there’s no adverse impact. Edited to say we’ll obviously get a share of the ICT and Falkirk gates, but these things are notoriously slow to work through.

Hello everyone, hope you're all well. I don't see much of Raith at the moment but I was at my first game of the season at East End last week. Pretty scrappy performance but I was very impressed with Lang and encouraged by Mitchell's brief appearance. Still generally impressed by the club's progress, and of course still a big fan of McGlynn. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Lang has looked very assured in these last two games. I’d like to see us stick with him, even if Bene is fit again. I like Bene, he’s been a good servant to the club and has played well this season. He was still part of the calamitous partnership with Davo though, for which he wasn’t entirely blameless. Seeing Berra with the armband on just seems right too. The guy is a model pro and has been a colossus so far. Certainly much better than Davidson, and I was a Davo fan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Musonda near fit again, we’d have cover there if not used it the DM role. This would allow Tumilty and Dick even more freedom to get forward. How the front line would line up would cause some debating but i’d be keen to see us giving it a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bene has been fantastic this season and JM is not the type of manager to bench a club captain because someone has come in and done well whilst he's been injured. Lang will either have to bide his time again or we switch to 3/5 at the back more often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Am I right in thinking it was believed Lang could cover left back? If Dick is out, as it were, on Saturday then we might find out. I don't necessarily want to know if he is, because if I know then the opposition knows too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Interesting to see if we use Musonda at left back. Failing that I think it'll be Lang as mentioned. It sounds like we're almost back to a full team other than Vaughan. Dick and Spencer might miss Saturday but both don't initially seem like serious injuries. No doubt we'll never seen one of them for the rest of the season now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Musonda has covered LB before and done fine, so I imagine would be first choice provided we don't need him elsewhere (and he is fit). Beyond that, I think Bene has covered it too in an emergency and perhaps Lang could as well if better suited to the role, especially given he's a bit quicker. There's options there; much prefer a natural LB but you do what you have to when necessary. The key thing is avoiding a long-term injury... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have Bene back in the team. the calamitous partnership of Davo and Bene saw us finish 3rd last year. Not that calamitous. Berra is obviously an upgrade on Davo, going by his performances so far, but I feel Bene complements him well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget Young at LB, certainly after Musonda., but still. Lang has played RB previously, and is right-sided, I’m not sure they’d be happy jamming him in at LB over Young, who looked composed playing as a Trialist for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked lost playing as a trialist for us. If Dick isn't fit, it'll be Musonda who played there for a few games early last season and looked decent there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musonda’s last game for us was actually a very solid appearance as a left back at Palmerston IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
