East Fife v Raith Rovers (28th Dec 2019)


Recommended Posts

Looking at the game a bit like Liverpool last week not being at your best but digging in for a point against your noisey neighbours. We had two definite starters not playing yesterday as well. Heard also that Dowds is not 100% either and last few games he’s definently not played how we know he can play. Felt a bit sorry for Church definently a bad error for Raiths goal and a hs confidence seemed to go after that. Keeps our good run against Raith going with 3 wins 2 draws and one loss in the last six games.

Folks criticising Gullan for that miss but it was he who started the move off and somehow was there for Bowie's pass. To go on a lung bursting run like that just to be in the right position deserves some credit.

Hoofs ball forward, gets ball back on a plate, passes to keeper. Even McGlynn was raging.

The 'hoof' was quite deliberate, took the first East Fife player out and made it vey difficult for the second player to control the ball. Also, he was level or behind 2 East Fife players when he played it forward but well ahead of both of them by the time he arrived in the box. It was a great pass forward and a fantastic run. 

But yeah, another moan.

I'll take the point.

Thought generally it was a pretty scrappy game. Rovers definitely had more possession and shaded it on chances created. It did look like Dowds was struggling but fair play to Davidson and Benedictus. For all they take a bit of slagging I thought they both had very good games.

It's clear the injuries / fitness issues with our strikers are blunting our edge. Hopefully it's not too long before we get Wallace, Dowds and Duggan all back to full fitness.

You are easy pleased.

Credit to him for getting up there but regardless of that the finish was powderpuff.
Also, from that moment onwards he pretty much disappeared from the game completely having been quite influential until then. If he's going to make it as a forward he's going to have to learn to shrug these misses off and concentrate on burying the next chance.

A scrappy game that Raith edged! Despite having so many players missing they were the better team esp 2nd half where they missed 2 great chances! Dowds has lost his way last couple of weeks, not sure if he's fully fit and Wallace was badly missed yday but it's another point away from home.

Excellent away support who showed their appreciation to our part time players at full time who remain right up there, matching 2 full time sides with bigger budgets! How fucking dare we! Great day and night yday, our unbeaten run continues and Josh Taylor wins! Suffering with a major hangover but a 12 hour night shift tonight should sort me richt oot!

Which shows how little class he has!

Yes talking about a player missing a sitter in a post match interview is a disgusting thing to do and shows a lack of class. 🙄
