Brummo Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Raith Rovers still have the opportunity to claim runner-up spot. With no better than fourth secure, Montrose have nothing to play for other than pride. Off the back of a narrow defeat to Forfar, we don't have momentum to carry forward. It would be great to finish the league campaign with a win but not at the cost of diminishing our playoff hopes through injuries. Interesting dilemma for SP. Definitely a plus to have the luxury of trying some different options ahead of the playoff games. What a contrast to last season's nail-biter match! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 How will super silky samba Rovers cope with the hatchet men cloggers of Montrose? All this on a terrible pitch. It would be good for us to get a bit of momentum going into the playoffs so I would try all out to get the win. SP has a habit of chopping and changing the team anyway, so I don't know if he'll 'rest' players 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I notice we never played any players returning from injury in the Fife Cup last night. Therefore, I would imagine the likes of Duggan, Wedderburn, Murray and Gillespie will get 90 minutes under their belts on Saturday. I would like to see some key players rested but it could be argued aside from Nisbet all our key players are either injured or returning from injury and needing minutes. The line up is anyone’s guess but you could really say the same for the play off against Forfar. I’ve mentioned it before but due to the disruption with injuries I have no idea what our first choice side is. I would say McGlynn’s first choice defence, rightly or wrongly, is Murray, Davo, Bene and Crane with Buchanan and Nisbet the choices upfront. However, the midfield is a bit of a lottery in terms of personnel and formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I hope Nisbet doesn't play, but no doubt he'll get a boot to the face from one of the cloggers, probably Watson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Days for Raith Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Lyness Watson Mckay Bene Crane Matthews Barjonas Wedderburn Duggan Gullan Rest Nesbit, Gillespie and Murray. Bring on Buchanan later on in the game. He was decent against Brechin but I’m not the biggest fan of him. Playing Watson is properly a dodgy idea, but to me this game doesn’t mean much and he always used to get played under Smith so give him a shot to boost his confidence. Also give Bowie more game time later on in the game, as he seems lively when coming off from the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggan in the middle with Gullan and McGuffie out on the wings. That’s why I will never be involved with football further than being a rovers fan... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_RRFC Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Would be ludicrous to rest Nisbet going for the tartan boot and firing on all cylinders, just our luck he'll get injured though going in for a 50/50 in the 94th minute with the game already seen out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for me they've obviously had 9th as a possibility from the start of the season, have not been trying and failing to play expansive football like some around them and probably the team least likely to be on the mat, in their heads if they did finish 9th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogs Grog Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 If we went up then I'd rather Alloa were there. Another 2 part time teams in the league would help us avoid doing a Brechin.Having said that QotS can be done by train on the Saturday but it's a long day. So The Jags would be grand for me. Falkirk can't see them getting anything on Saturday.It's going to be Alloa i think anyway. Easy enough away day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
