grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Interesting, suggestion was Thom barged his opponent in passing - followed by an exaggerated collapse from the Sauchie player. Can't argue either way as didn't see the incident. Thom again has cost the club dear with his actions in a big game. Baur's actions beyond stupid. For me the question is why again we are changing 5 players for every game - we should always start with our strongest 11.Squads win trophies.Last night we had four fit outfield subs which shows that players get stretched this part of the season especially our front players at tempo. McMinn for me is really struggling and as much as it’s nice to see him get a run I think he should be moved on. Decent save last night but the missed catch in the top c and the third goal pretty much sun up what I’ve seen of him this season. Totally lacking confidence and needs to drop a level and start enjoying it again. That will translate to the defence and we leak goals especially when Shaw isn’t in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheStand Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Apologies for missing both red card incidents - I didn’t even realise Baur had been sent off until he didn’t come back on for the second half - but highlights here: Not often I’ll comment but, regarding the changes to the team last night, players were cup-tied so some changes had to be made in any case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Heid Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 1 hour ago, FuzzyBear said: I didnt see it but was told by an ex Rose player that it was a flying elbow and stone wall red card. You slated the performance at Hill of Beath and then query why we made changes. How many of those dropped had injuries ? No I didn't slate the performance at HoB. We're you even there? My point on rotation has been consistently one of not being a fan. I would prefer where possibly to watch our strongest 11 start, with the use of subs. In recent games we have been slow getting into any rhythm - again last night Sauchie started stronger and we grew into the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't need to be there to know you said the following; You said we didn't match their endeavour. You said we didn't compete well enough. You said we lost to (sic) many battles. If that was the case then surely the manager should have made changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, with the 6 matches remaining, it will be a tall order for The Rose to win the league. But they surely still have a chance. Two matches against Tranent and one against Penicuik - the only 2 other teams that can win league apart from Linlithgow. Win all three and who knows... I was talking with a Premier league player today and he said Linlithgow were clearly the best team his side had playEd against this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowin In the Wind Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I wouldn’t write anyone of the top 3 off at the moment. Sure Lithgae have the hardest run in. But results are always strange at this time of year. When Lithgae were chasing there was little pressure now it’s different. All three contenders will be feeling it. Personally I think Tranent are the best, but they were more edgy and not as free flowing against Broxburn at Tranent than when they blew them away earlier in the season. Still all to play for! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lithgy supporting friend of mine feels there may be an element of “lulled into a false sense of security” as the majority of the long unbeaten run was fixtures against sides Lithgy would be expected to beat, albeit they won most much more convincingly than many expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor defending, tactics or injuries ? After Inverkeithing, we have started to make wholesale changes every week. John Millar stated today changes aren't the issue and he has confidence in the squad. Whilst I appreciate that view. Surely if you have confidence you don't need 5 changes every week. You should start with your strongest available and if needed use your subs to change or freshen. We have not become a bad team, we have however lost our mojo. Every confidence we can still salvage something from the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stowe is a much better player when he is playing.That and 21 wins in a row is phenomenal, that got us back in the race but very hard to keep that going at that pace all season.Still think we have it in us to grab silverware but needing a couple slip ups again from Tranent and Penicuik isn’t great with our run in for the league. Easy to forget we were 10 points a drift without a prayer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having that. As mentioned above we beat Spartans and the Shire in the cups also thumping Penicuik 5-0. The only team we didn't face on that run was really Tranent. We're on a bad run and that is disappointing, especially when a couple of wins would have us comfortably at the top of the league. Still games to go so we'll see what happens. To be in the position we are after the start to the season we had is astonishing. Playing for draws against the same teams your Lithgy supporting pal would have said we would be expected to beat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Bad defensive errors by the Rose for the goals . Based on the chances shown in the highlights it was probably a fair result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
