D'Jaffo Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Absolutely massive game for both teams. Went top of the table this evening on goal difference so now it’s all about staying there. Vaughan seems to be carrying Raith so far as neither Spence nor Buchanan seem to be having the desired effect this season. I’d probably go for an unchanged XI with the exception of Higgins in at centre half and Adams in midfield. That way we can throw Moore on if we’re struggling going forward. Think we’ll win 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Geggan in midfield please. 4-3-3 with Moore, Shankland and the Moff running riot. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 This is coming at quite a bad time for us. We’ve been pish for a few weeks and Ayr are flying. Benedictus is still a month or so away and Lennox is only just back for the 20s so unlikely he’ll come in. Davidson will be back from suspension so he’ll likely partner Murray at centre half with Robertson going back in to centre mid along side Herron with Matthews making way. Wasn’t at the derby today but I see Spence was hooked again. Surely time for a change up front? Him and Buchanan patently isn’t working, somehow. Only the Rovers could fork out two strikers who scored about 40 league goals between them last season, play them up front together and it not be fruitful.

mps02 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Looking forward to this one as we didn't deserve to lose the last game at Starks. As long as we have Shankland in the team, we hopefully will win by a clear couple of goals. I'll take a 2-0 win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'd be delighted with a draw . We've completely derailed, to the point where we could only beat East Fife by one goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t worry too much. Your going through the same sort of spell we went through last month and we’re doing not too bad now. This game won’t determine who wins the league as both of us will lose games and go on bad runs between now and the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Should be an interesting one - particularly with the respective forward lines. Personally think Shankland and Vaughan are pretty similar. Based on what I've seen (albeit not much of Buchanan recently) I would take Moffat and Moore before Spence and Buchanan. Would suggest we have a bit more fight in the middle of the park but Raith seem to be better defensively. Before the season started I would have said about Bobby Barr being far better than anything we have out wide but Crawford can be every bit as good.

itzdrk Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hopefully Higgy is back for this, id trust Adams and Rose but would prefer Adams in midfield running the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing a journeyman striker who has scored 7 goals in 7 games to the magnificent prospect that is Lewis Vaughan who has scored 18 in 18 from midfield? Away and take yer face for a shite pal.
