Boghead ranter Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 2 minutes ago, The Moonster said: Well, I was concerned about our chances this weekend but now that you've thrown up some entirely subjective opinions about Rovers' squad I've been able to compare those opinions against the cold, hard facts of Dumbarton's abysmal away record. After comparing this data it seems that you are correct and it is now likely that Dumbarton will take something from this game. 8-0 Sons. I doubt we'll keep a clean sheet, so 8-1 Sons for me.

Broken Algorithms Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Worth noting we're missing both Vaughan and Hendry who were instrumental in the first game. Our game plan on a creative side depends on Flanagan being up for it, Armstrong not disappearing, and Nisbet basically creating goals from absolutely nothing.

kev23 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We don't lose at home and Dumbarton don't win away so you're kidding yourself if you think it points to anything but a convincing win for Raith. Raith 1-1 Dumbarton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We’ve gone from saying it’s a championship fixture in all but name to a ‘my team is shitter than yours’ argument in the space of half a page.

Our game plan on a creative side depends on Flanagan being up for it, Armstrong not disappearing, and Nisbet basically creating goals from absolutely nothing.I don't want to turn this into a debate about who's worse off but...We have had two outfield players (a centre back and a centre mid) and our goalkeeping coach on the bench the last two weeks. Three measley players, one of whom is about three stone overweight and retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Any likelihood of your injury problems easing before the weekend? Is Craig Barr one of the injured? I highly doubt it, and Barr is indeed one of the walking wounded. Last weekend we had the following players out:Craig Barr Rory LoyRoss PerryGrant AdamChris Smith (our emergency loanee who's on holiday apparently)Ryan ThomsonRory LoyIain RussellBarr, Loy, Adam and Thomson have been out long term so I'd be surprised if any if them will be fit for it. Smith should be back from his holiday. Perry seems to be struggling constantly with knocks. Russell may well be available as he's been facing late fitness tests the last couple of weeks.In summary we may well have Smith back meaning our retired goalkeeping coach will be replaced on the bench with Jamie McGowan and Russell may be able to make the bench. I am also led to believe 1 or 2 of the starting 11 are playing through the pain barrier due to lack of numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, then that makes up for the blow of Ross Perry missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR #1 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Will Crane be back for this one? I certainly hope so as our full backs looked awful on those Montrose highlights . Also hoping to see a change in goals especially if Wright is fit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allardice isn't even a Centre back. What we had was 2 Centre Mids on the bench. Everything else is correct though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I was going to ask where the mercurial talents of Chris ‘Mini Messi’ Johnston and Scott ‘is he playing?’ Roberts are playing these days. I see they are now at Annan Athletic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a lot that, even with our love of a Rangers and Raith reject, we didn't sign him last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
