Scary Bear Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Can the fightback start here? 13 points is a fair amount of points to try and claw back against a team who haven’t lost a league game yet. Still, if you’re a Rovers fan you’ve got to hope it can happen. I don’t want to see that bellend Dick Campbell celebrating at the end of the season.

CALDERON Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It's the slimmest of slim hopes to be honest. We aren't defending very well at all, and Bobby Linn against Grant Gillespie gives me the fear. It's must win, but we aren't good enough to go away from home and put the kind of performance needed for that I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Stark(s Park) Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 If we take a big crowd to Gayfield and with Vaughan starting hopefully this can inject the team with some confidence straight from the off. Chances of us getting a result here are very slim, but this is the magic of football, I’ll be travelling on the chance we take 3 points and I’ll be buzzing at the end. If we lose then it’s expected and can’t be too disappointed (especially after Montrose game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'll just leave this here. A 23 point swing required, by my calculation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afc_36_0 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Raith must win this game to stand any chance, that alone is a pleasing position to be in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexico Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 This game matters more to Rovers than it does to us. Still waiting to be John McGlynn’d aswell, whatever that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are in phenomenal form and we're fairly shite away from home. Only going to be one outcome. An away win. As if! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 We'll need to improve on today's performance at least tenfold to have any chance next week. I'll give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 With the news that Vaughan made a scoring return today will the Arbroath boys be sharpening their hatchets and polishing their hammers again in anticipation? Or will it be Nisbet who's chibbed early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Free hit for us, if Raith win they go 10 points behind, if they don't it's 13 or better. Anyone would've bitten your hand off for any of these 3 outcomes if they got given them at start of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to happen. We're not a mahoosive full time club like them. They're nearly as big a Clyde ffs. Good luck to the Smokies though. Hope you pump them rotten next week.

lichtie23 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The Arbroath hatchet men to boot Nisbet into the stands followed by tears from the Raith faithful.TOB back is a big boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 1 win in our last 9 in Angus. Strangely that was the same time last year at Arbroath. We need to win this one to have even the tiniest hope of winning the league but we won’t. Arbroath’s solid defence is the difference between both sides. They know if they score they won’t lose the game because they can rely on their defence which is a luxury we don’t have at the moment. We’re averaging over 2 goals a game away from home and have scored in every game this season yet we’ve only won 3 away games. Not sure what can be done to change it before January, hopefully Crane is fit to come back in and Wright replaces Thomson. Not checked the weather yet but I’d imagine there’s every chance this game could be called off which probably wouldn’t be the worst thing for us right now.
