David Fernández Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 When Murray was with us last season he was famous for his 'Murrayball tactics'. (Playing 6 up front). Now it looks like the vintage 'murrayball' tactic is to sign 50 midfielders. What is he going to do with all of them? I wish I could explain to Raith fans how Ian Murray works at times but after all that time at Airdrie. I still can't figure him out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well. Unless he's injured again between Murrays post match interview and McGill signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close…he said he should be on the bench, but the way he referred to Stanton, Ngwenya and Ross implied they all were not game fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Can't rule out that a bid has been made for Stanton or another midfielder. By the looks if it Arnott wasn't getting game time needed at Brechin so it was a waste if everyone's time to keep him there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Arnott started out in the first XI and then was dropped to consolation minutes. The fans comments suggested he wasn’t physical enough, too much a fancy player, if you will. Not sure League Two is any less physical than HL, but it’s a nice thank you to Bonnyrigg for getting Mitchell time and might help foster a useful relationship for developing other players in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 To be fair to Murray, just because McGill is the first signing this window doesn't necessarily mean it was his priority position. We might as well wait and see how the rest of the window goes and then judge it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah bringing in someone that appears able to cover both full back positions as well as right across the midfield is no bad thing assuming it hasn’t taken much out of the budget for the priority positions which are centre half and striker. I guess the level of quality we bring in, if any, will be dependent on the outcome of our match against Linlithgow and if we win, who we get in the next round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryBumpkin Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Don't think anyone is shocked by that decision. Probably not great odds in it being a certainty for Tuesday either as the weather isn't getting much better, warmer but a lot of rain expected.

But rain forecast too so possibly going from an ice rink to a mudbath. Fingers crossed though. What's the ticket refund policy, Tuesday night is a no go for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consensus forecasts are less than 0.1” of rain and temperatures above freezing the whole way to Tuesday. Unless the pitch was completely soaked before it froze, the game should be good on Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
