Montrose v Raith Rovers


Recommended Posts

Easily one of the poorest teams to visit LP in a long long time, absolutely battered them especially in first 45. 
Incredible how the 3 points were lost. 
Referee was absolutely shite. Every time we have had him he’s been shite. Gave a foul to Raith in first half when 2 Raith players bumped into one another. 


Really enjoyed reading that.

Went along to this today. First half montrose were clearly the better team although didnt create too many clear cut chances. Second half there was not much it. Montrose dominated possession but raith handled them better. Montrose ran out of ideas.

Montrose are a good footballing team but lack a killer instinct. Raith looked very average but took 3 points which is the sign of a decent team.

Hopefully we cuff you next week

Still not sure why Lyons'goal was disallowed, and there were a couple of goalmouth scrambles before then too when we were very close. Lennox had nothing to do all game apart from pick the ball out of his net and claim a couple of crosses.

To Raith's credit they put away their one shot. Had we done that first half when we were very well on top, I'd like to think we'd have won. For all our excellent possession and play, we did lack a killer instinct today. But it's been there before and will come back soon enough if we keep playing like that.

The front 3 pressing in the first half was great to watch and we looked solid at the back too. Shame to lose our unbeaten league run, but there have been many winter games under the floodlights in the not too distant past where it's been a far far worse performance.

On to the next game.

Think this pretty much sums it up. We completely dominated the first half but don’t have anyone up top who is a clinical finisher. Second half was more even. Not too down heartened as we’ll play worse and win this season. Tough game next week and we need to get something out of it.

We were pretty poor today. Difficult to mark what the issue was in general but we just didnt click. Montrose outplayed us and to be fair could and should of been a couple of goals up. Will take the win but hope there is some monumental ass kicking at full time.

As a side note do love the pubs in Montrose.

We were diabolical and did not deserve anything. It’s so nice to come away and actually fluke a game like that. Huge lift in performance needed for the next two or we will get battered. I feel like JMG got away with one massively there...

 

anyway, results are all that matters and I’m full pinger heading back on the train. first time doing an away day in Montrose and it’s a really good day oot! ONNNGM

To be fair, there were a few raith fans in hospitality today who were acting like arseholes. Apparently they were throwing pegs on the pitch although they might have been throwing them at tony bullock. Also put pegs in the girls hair in hospitality and then pulling them out. Rather odd all round.
