Raith vs Arbroath, 17/12/22


Recommended Posts

Here we go again, Raith finally getting a little hope after a stumbling performance versus Morton in the cup…Arbroath still, well, I don’t know, what is up with Arbroath this year? Unlikely to be a cakewalk for either team…early forecast calls for freezing temperatures and rain/snow. Add the possibility McNeil will start for Raith…what’s the news for Arbroath?

Zero confidence going into this. A point would feel like a win. 

Spoken like a Jets fan…

Well, not blow sunshine up your butt, but we’re actually mildly better against the lower end of the table, but our performances are less stable than a Liz Truss budget.

Staying glued to the MetOffice website all week and hoping for a localised 3 foot dump of snow in the Kirkcaldy area over night on Friday/Saturday.

That’s how confident I am.

Seriously though it’ll be interesting to see how we do here. The Raith game at home (along with Cove away) are our worst league performances to date. Will we see any improvement? Signs that a corner is about to be turned? Carrying on from the second half v Morton? Or same old same old?

This is the hangover season for Arbroath. Similar to that season we came second after bottling the game against the Pars, back in 2011. The following season we looked like being relegated until a burst of excellent form late in the season saw us steer clear.

Hopefully we can get a win or two before Christmas 🎄 🎅 .

Big game this for getting the wagon back on track a bit. A win or draw keep a nice cushion from the trouble below but a defeat would make promotion play-offs appear a bit more of a dream and make the next month or so a bit of a scrap at the bottom.

Whilst there is plenty talent in the squad, I'm not convinced we have the mentality for a relegation scrap.

Aye, it feels like more of a Must Win than a Must Not Lose type game because even a draw only maintains out distance from the bottom, likely increases it from the top and with our fixture run including Morton, QP and Dundee in short order then this and Hamilton away look like our best chances of picking up points. 

Losing here could really start to jam us in the mire.

thoroughly looking forward to this being postponed

Arbroath have players out injured and major striker issues - it's not been easy.

A postponement would give Arbroath time to regroup, have the players back from injury and add a few new signings in January.

If the match is going ahead I will take a draw right now if it's on offer (and then take 3 points of you at Gayfield in 2023).

You’ve got 22 points. We’d give both arms and a leg for 22 points.
