Its not only a game Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 On a serious note, very professional performance from us today. No failures. We stopped Rovers being able to get through or behind our defence, where they can be dangerous so they were stuck with long balls through the middle, which Dunlop and Meggatt dealt with easily, or going wide. Flanagan never really had an end product and we marked Armstrong very well, doubling up on him when we needed to. Controlled the midfield and Currie and Dowds did really well to press the creaky Rovers defence. Three wins on the bounce after a little wobble and we've cemented our place in the top 4 going into the new year. Excellent.Agreed truly outstanding result. Excellent effort by each and every player-great to have Meggatt back and for us to play 2 upfront - we just look so comfortable playing that formation.Special mention though to the fans - created a great atmosphere- well done Darren and the management team , a great end to the year.

CALDERON Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well today showed why we aren't in a title race. The mentality of that squad just isn't there. Again, alot of today was down to East Fife. Pressed us high forcing us to either play a long ball or pass it between a defence who aren't confident in their keeper or themselves. Nisbet and Armstrong were marked very very well, leaving players free who posed no threat at all. Added to that they broke at pace and recognised our huge weakness at the back. Excellent tactics from Young. Awful from us though. Surely Mckay has to come in at Centre back now and there needs to be a change of keeper. The defence and keeper have been at each other for weeks, there is no confidence there at all. I'm a big Mcglynn fan, but the stats under his tenure make awful reading.

Bayviewboy Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Why is it always when the Rovers lose it is because they were really poor that day ? How about looking at games more objectively ? Why were they poor ? Could it maybe have something to do with the opposition getting their game plan, tactics and formation spot on which prevents the Rovers from dictating the game and playing to their strengths ?The three derbies this season, Darren Young has got his team selection and game plans spot on and as a result we have taken 7 points from 9. Dunlop and Meggatt were excellent today and limited Buchanan and Nisbett chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 The posts on this thread from some Rovers fans could be used by the Tory party as an example of why people shouldn't be trusted on the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're excited mostly about a wee trip to Dublin. It'd be fantastic to win it, clearly, I'm sure we'd be going mental if we did.

McGuigan1978 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 What was wrong with what I said??? I wasn’t at the game. I have reliable sources who were at the game. We were outfought and outplayed yet again. Or did we actually win that game. Wait, you weren’t actually there? HAHAHAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunlop and Meggatt were excellent today and limited Buchanan and Nisbett chances. We were really poor by all accounts, even the normally positive commentators on the audio feed were struggling to get up for it after we conceded the second. We were certainly poor in comparison to last week. 7 points from 9 says it all, you’ve got us sussed this season, no doubt about that. I doubt you’ll find a Rovers fan who’d say any different tbh.

Beating the old firm in any cup final is extremely difficult, to achieve that against them both is a superb effort that only three teams have managed. Hearts, Aberdeen and the Rovers.
