Got a load of Rovers programmes from the 50s onwards to sell and was going to put them on the for sale thread. I’ve also got one special programme to sell the 1949 league cup final between Raith Rovers v Rangers. PM me the emails and I’ll forward them to a mod over there to look at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 It’s time to start announcing contracts, we’ve got an assurance of some money now. As it stands, we have 10 signed through 2024: Keepers: McNeil Defenders: Millen Midfielders: Arnott, Brown, Easton, Matthews, Ross, Stanton Forwards: Gullan, Vaughan I’d like to see Thomson, Young, Lang, Nolan, Spencer and Connolly signed soon for sure. If we can, also sign Dick, Masson, Mitchell, McBride. I’d be willing to see MacDonald move on, he’s shown signs of injuries and time catching up with him, and a I suspect the Championship next year might be a bridge too far. Yes, it’s a risk with McNeil, but Thomson is capable of starting in the Championship too. Mahady, what little we’ve seen isn’t enough at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s a risk with McNeil, but Thomson is capable of starting in the Championship too. Mahady, what little we’ve seen isn’t enough at this level. Brown is only under contract until the end of this season. I'm sure Murray hinted in a Raith TV interview months ago that he was hopeful Brown would be signing an extended deal soon. That doesn't seem to have happened so leads me to think he has other options. We're certainly in an uncomfortable position with so many regulars out of contract and the likes of Gullan and Ross tied up for another year when ideally you'd be getting rid of them this summer. I would keep MacDonald for another year. I think he's still got one more year at this level in the tank. I would have Connolly as a certainty to move on and Spencer as more than likely. The likes of Lang, Brown and Dick have shown they are more than capable at this level and will no doubt also have offers from other clubs in the championship. If both the Pars and Falkirk come up that will also be bad news as it will mean both promoted teams will be able to comfortably offer higher wages than us. Could be quite a summer of change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Yeah, Brown only signed a 1 year deal. We really, really could do with getting him signed for another couple ASAP. Player of the season for me, so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 13 games unbeaten is excellent but of the 8 league games in that run 6 were draws. If we keep going like that I can’t see us managing 4th place in the league. It’s still a pretty excellent season with the cup runs, but it would be nice to get a few more wins in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 We’ve definitely strengthened as a team but feels like we’re still a little short quality wise from the play off spots. Realistically we’re probably still sitting in 7th given the games in hand. The one consolation is we still play all the teams around us but feels like we’re fast approaching have to win territory in those games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Top 4 is likely beyond us, but we are in with half a shout with everyone still to play. Considering where we were, that's absolutely fine. Last night it was refreshing to see players who looked like centre forwards to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bizarre to say that when we're only 3 points out of it but you're probably right. Though saying that, a lot of games to play that can change everything again, we just have to keep playing as we are and see what's happens. If we beat Ayr on Friday and we're 2 points behind them. There isn't a stand out side in this league and it shows as no one has broken away or hit a great run of wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 That's another game where we've come from behind to get a result, so at least we have now gotten over that mental block. Good to see the players look disappointed at full time also, despite a decent result. The attitude within the squad is spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) What a difference a few days can make, HT at Arbroath 1-0 down with the teams below us looking good and we’re looking over our shoulders at the bottom spots. Fast forward a few days we’re unbeaten in 13, pretty safe from the bottom spots, in a Cup final and in the Quarter Final of the Scottish with a payday fixture. We might be 6-7th due to games in hand but the team has shown some fight over our traditional winter lull. Is 4th spot beyond us this season? Possibly but I’m not betting against us just yet. There’s still plenty football between now and the end of the season and in this league everyone is capable of beating each other.

Corrected Brown, I’ve been showing that as 2024 all year and that’s frustrating given his value. This team could be a winner easily next year if we’re finally finding the right combinations. Everything but a physical strikers is finally in place and contracted, the striker is loaned…fix that and we might be the Kings of the hill…if we lose several players, it hurts, as always, but very frustrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
