Ro Sham Bo Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hamilton's form would be more worrying if we looked incapable of picking up any sort of results but at the moment that's not the case. There's also the fact that at least one of Cove and Arbroath would need to put a similar run together and that doesn't look likely at this stage. Agree that the cup final will be a different proposition than we thought it might have been a month ago though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) If you continue the form in the last six through the rest of the season then the table would end up roughly like this: Queens Park 59 Dundee 58 Partick Thistle 54 Ayr Utd 53 Raith Rovers 52 Morton 51 Hamilton Accies 48 Inverness CT 43 Arbroath 37 Cove Rangers 35 Cove down and Arbroath in the play off. We’d be well safe but finish just outside the promotion play offs. If we’re going to get 4th then suggest we still need to improve in the run-in, turning draws into wins. Still all to play for though. Edited February 22 by roverthemoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 It’s remarkable how much our love of draws/cup form has masked our lack of league wins. Two from the last 11, since beating Hamilton at home in November (both away to the bottom two, Hamilton/Arbroath). I really doubt at this stage we’ll get dragged into anything down the bottom end of the league. But really it’s been our results against Arbroath/Hamilton that has sealed that (16 points from 18 against those two, just 18 from everyone else in 19 matches). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley has hardly done any better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we haven't had a league win against anyone other than the bottom 2, since October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hopefully improving our strikers will help us start turning draws in to wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpuss Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 On the subject of the possible takeover, while I don't expect a running commentary on what's being discussed it would be nice to know if all parties are still talking to each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, although they won't name anyone surely the fans should be getting some form of an update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithfan2711 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Chairman sat down 3 weeks ago on camera and updated everyone. I’m sure they will again when there is something to actually say. I’d rather these things were getting sorted professionally behind closed doors than play out publicly like the embarrassing back and forth we had a few weeks back where there was a Courier headline every week. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 According to the Courier, Spencer has triggered another years option on his contract, if he wants to take it up (about 2/3 down the page) https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/4171840/brad-spencer-not-looking-ahead-as-raith-rovers-prepare-for-busy-month/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I guess we finally know the cost to the club of ending the DG saga. The club accounts filed with companies house earlier this week detail a provision of just over £100k taken in respect to the termination of a player's employment.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I thought the nameless one was brought in on the back of the Celtic money, so if it's the case of the Newco cup money paying for it , where the hell did the Celtic money go to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Two things from last night. Two Friday's on the trot and we've see shite penalties, amazingly both worked in our favour. The groundsman really has to work on the pitch down the wings, Ross Millen keeps getting stuck in the mud that prevents him advancing up the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
