He was such a talent before getting crocked. Big dirty swine these days so will hopefully put a few Rovers up in the air (pretty sure he got a straight red playing for us against Raith in an evening match once). Big dirty shitehawk back then too. That's right - I was in hospitality at EEP that night; right in front of us in the second half Tade got taken out at knee height by the lovely Mr Bell. How he didn't break at least one of his legs I'll never know as it was a proper old-fashioned, straight leg challenge at 100mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Good guy. Fantastic, while were getting pumped out the Scottish Cup you’ll be going seven points clear. Hope you stay in the cup as long as possible. Cup run would be a nice distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Arbroath will win 2-1 at Somerset for the third time this season. Do seem a bit of a bogey team for you guys this season, mind you we were fairly lucky to leave theirs with 3 points as they battered us 2nd half.

We can only play well for small patches of games and our defending as a team is poor so if you can ride through that 20 minutes its easy days.

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Well with Dario away unexpectedly that puts a big spanner in our preparation and leaves us without a winger. Will likely mean having to rejigg the midfield losing Vaughan from the middle and actually losing Dario himself who has been excellent recently. I feel our recent success has been based on finding a shape/personnel that has managed to get better out than the sum of its parts. This is a huge blow. Big boost for you fine c***s.

Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 People are automatically presuming we will lose Vaughan from the middle of the park and replace him with Herron all because we've lost Zanatta from the wing. This might be the case but I can also see Spence getting shifted to out wide and Court coming in up front now. Would probably be the best option or we could go 4-3-3 by still bringing in Court alongside Spence and Buchanan up top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If Ayr were fully fit I'd maybe be a bit concerned but they have their own selection issues as well going into this game.....at least from what I'm led to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Absolutely vital we keep Vaughan in the middle of the park. Spence and Buchanan have improved massively since we made that switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially - but this is why the Zanatta thing is such a massive c**t. The 442 was working really well and had such a nice balance. Spence and Buchanan were working really well up top in front tof Vaughan and Robbo. And then Mathews tucking in provided protection and allowed Thomson to provide width on one side. And then Dario could go forward all he liked to provide width on the other side becuase Murray just stays and defends. It was the most balanced, potent and solid our side has been all year. Whatever happens on Saturday the priority has to be to get another winger in as soon as possible and get back to this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
