embow Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 McGurn shouldn't be needing to be making great saves when you're winning with less than ten minutes to go. Poor game management on the pitch and maybe off it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We're not going up if the away form isn't addressed. Season after season we fail away from home. I think we might be in this league forever. We need a Simpson’s gif. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 6 points from 9 is by no means an awful start to the season, but that result does little to build on the first two games. Its a pretty accurate representation of why we failed last season. Away defeat. Scoring twice and not winning the game. Not able to string 3 league wins in a row together. Holding on for the three points today would have went a huge way to us feeling as though we could get over the above points. Its early enough to take positives even from defeats, but the manner in which that game seems to have went is the real sickener. The league cup meant little, but the manner of those defeats left a lot of folk fed up with the manager. Im not particularly one of them, but how the side bounce back from today is absolutely key. Again, its early days, but I guess the real fear is that 3 wins against awful sides in Peterhead, Dumbarton and Clyde have given a false impression and that we will end up with another side who are entertaining to watch, but not good enough to achieve anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much exactly what it feels like.Feels like McGlynn’s second spell is going to be defined by his persistence with Davidson and Benedictus at the back. I sympathise with McGlynn to an extent because he’s changed pretty much everything aside from those two, and clearly hoped Mendy would be starting ahead of one of them. But he isn’t. I wasn’t there today so can’t comment on Davidson/Bene’s performance but they’re the only constant. Rightly or wrongly people will latch onto that. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Really thought we might’ve turned a corner during that second half, only for it to all come crashing down again. Conceded in 7/8, conceded two or more in 6/8. We’re going nowhere if that doesn’t change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGurn no chance from 25yards. 2nd goal robertson squares it dangana shot is brilliantly saved by mcgurn but it falls back to danganna who spins and rattles it in. 3rd goal smith shoots from range. McGurn does well to reach it off his line but instead of palming it to the side or over it lands in the goalmouth and elliot has a simple finish. Sidecam here.. highlights tomorrow on StranraerFCtv I hate to sound like a grass, but how are you able to post official highlights before midnight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I wonder if they’ll be looking for the Fabulous 40 odd that travelled today. Anyway, the number of road signs with the words “haste ye back” as we were leaving had me laughing. We’re done with Stranraer now. Although game cost us f**k all for the second time in a row down there [emoji23] All is forgiven, however, If you do the same to Falkirk when they travel down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second for Stranraer McGurn makes an unbelievable save coming back across the goal and obviously the ball ends up right back at the boys feet and he slams in the rebound. The winner McGurn again makes a great save, but instead of it going up over the bar or round the post it goes up in the air, comes down, hits him on the back and it’s scrambled over the line. The sort of goal we never ever score but concede regularly. Sounds like I’m glossing over it but it’s super unlucky. Any other day McGurn makes those two saves and we win 2-1. MacDonald was excellent, probably our MoM. Long way for f**k all in the end. Hope those wolves fans who were celebrating the Stranraer goals in the away end fall in the sea. Sound like your manager. All goals Raith score good well taken goals, but goals scored by opponents bad mistakes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, John McGlynn intends to use as many trialists as he can against the Shippy on Tuesday to prevent unnecessary injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
