If Syla is fit (no idea if he will be) I’d be tempted to play 451 with Willoughby up front. Clarke Stanger Sanders McGinty Mousanda Chalmers Syla Dempsey McHugh Murphy Willoughby

Great result for us tonight! No idea how Raith managed to win that mind!

Pleasing

Inverness 1-0 Raith Rovers Arbroath 0-2 Morton Dundee United 0-1 Ayr Dunfermline 1-1 Queen's Park Partick Thistle 1-1 Airdrie

POTY - Dowds YPOTY - Stanger Goal - Chalmers v Raith

New stand is £325 and non new stand ST is £300

5-0 and we could and should have scored more with the 2 chances Dowds had in the second half. We didn’t play brilliantly either but deary me Arbroath are a shadow of the team they’ve been previously.

Pleasing

Both soft but both fouls in the box and therefore spot kicks correctly awarded. First one was clearly in the box from the view I have in the family stand.

Will there be a chance for match to match punters to get in the new stand next season or will most of the seats be taken by season tickets? Will the price for the seats in the new stand be the same price as standing on the terrace?

Ideally the new stand will be home support only but the segregation fence on the terrace is still there. I think they’ll be able to flex the new stand depending on the away support although personally I’d prefer it to be home fans only. Plenty of space behind the goals and in the corner of the main stand for away fans.

Big result for Airdrie tonight. This league is bonkers, I thought they were on the slide after we played them but if they win their game in hand their 4th

Just checked in with my Motherwell supporting mate, said this is probably his level, had a load of personal issues and hasn’t really kicked a ball in the last 12 months or so. Doesn’t sound like a rave review but he’ll hopefully do a job.

Aye we won’t see him in an Ayr shirt again now.

100% agree, the squad isn’t any stronger at all. I’d hoped we’d have brought in at least 1 other starter of reasonable quality. Outside of Murphy and Chalmers who were both poor today there’s zero creativity in that squad. I actually thought we really missed Reading today, relying on Mousunda to provide width down the left was never going to work.

McHugh looked ok when he came on but not really enough time to tell. I’m not sure about Willoughby to be honest. So far I think we’d have been better keeping Rose. Again a bit early to tell.

Fine IMO, thought he could have maybe come for the cross for the first goal but it was a good ball by Mullin. Made one good save in the second half and a number of others you’d expect any keeper to make.

We struggled all game to break Raith down. I thought their press was very good and a fantastic finish from Vaughn for the second (gutting time to lose a goal). McGinty unlucky with the header off the bar in the second half but that was about it for us. Results elsewhere went our way at least. Edit - thought we really missed Reading as left wing back today.

Pitch is in great condition. Hopefully should be a cracking game.

Oh really, I knew warriors used to play there a few years ago but didn’t realise it was still being used for rugby?

Watching the Partick v Dunfermline game and the pitch looks terrible! Makes you realise how good our new pitch is especially for this time of year.

Partick 2-0 Dunfermline Arbroath 1-1 Inverness Ayr 3-2 Raith Dundee Utd 1-1 Queens Park Morton 2-1 Airdrie

Yeah I loved that from Sean throughout the game. Helped worked the crowd and the drum was good. Big cheer for his triple block in the second half too.
