Raith Against The Machine Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Maybe been mentioned before but i'd try Grant Anderson at right wing back. He is solid enough and would offer us something going forward. Manager has a tough choice for who to plug the gaps with. Munro Gando Mckay Bene Macdonald Spencer Tait Bowie Dingwall Victoria GullanI've been a big proponent of Anderson at right wing back, but I'd very much prefer if it was part of a back five. Whilst I think he could manage at right back, and he's a relatively disciplined player, his positioning isn't the best. I'd be more inclined to start Watson in a back four, with Anderson as the Plan B if Watson is really struggling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'd like to think despite the injuries we can still put a competitive team on the park. There's no point having the likes of Watson and Tait if they can't slot in and do a job. Big ask, but not impossible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Can't see anything other than a back 4. Watson has struggled at times so perhaps it's a case of ensuring he's well covered so Falkirk can't isolate him as other teams have attempted to do? More worrying than anything else to be honest is his lack of game time given we need 90mins out of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Watson plays, and you have to assume he will, then I suspect McGlynn will have Anderson playing in front of him to at least offer a bit of extra protection to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Sandy Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Even taking a point from this game is going to be an achievement given the selection situation. Mon the Rovers!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BairnBrainBrian Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 This is another 'no win game' for us, and we seem to do reasonably well in those. It is time that our players were told a few homes truths and then see what kind of integrity they have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Grant Anderson will be very important in front of Jamie Watson. I’ve actually preferred him up front this season but his work rate and physicality should give protection as good as possible. Watson with Gullan in front of him would give me the fear. It isn’t ideal but conversely it’s a massive chance for Watson to show he belongs here. Hasn’t really had a chance in nearly a year, the odd friendly/sub appearance aside. He seemed to regress the more he played in the first team having shown some genuine promise to begin with, so perhaps he can get back to that sort of form. Last Saturday was a positive sign. We surely have too many players out to get a result here but we’re actually on our best defensive run since August 2010, and haven’t really played particularly well over the past few weeks. Football is weird. Hopefully a big away support to get behind the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Surprised that no one has suggested Baird in midfield or behind the main strikers. He can play a good pass & help stop us playing the big welly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Heard all this before, teams with supposedly huge injury lists and struggling to get 11 players. Then Saturday comes, the injured players are miraculously in the team and they play a blinder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
