The injuries are just a complete joke tbh. Either the unluckiest club in the country or we’re doing something wrong with training/rehabilitation.
Its happening far too frequently to be a coincidence.

Dread to think where we will be at then of first round of games - bottom two ?

Maybe line up 460 as we have no strikers.

I'd have loved Fontaine at us in the Summer as well.
As our youth policy? He turned 37 today

That was dire, what an embarassment. We didnt even dominate a youth team, they had 54% possession according to BBC. They looked the team more likely to score the final half hour and played some neat football, we on the other hand.............

Bizzare we kept Bene out on the left wing for what felt like about 10 minutes, his balls into the box from that position were so poor so not sure what the point of it was.
A sign of utter desperation and complete lack of width in the squad. When you looked at the bench today it was bereft.

No signings in next few hours means a real struggle to maintain a top 3 position by start of next window. Results so far this season have masked many poor performances.

Can't think who this might be but hopefully it still works out. I can't think why Alfredo Morelos wouldn't want to join on loan, bridies are great!
Wrong player although you might be right about the club

Cant believe we are being linked with Kai Kennedy -how absolutely uninspiring- did nothing while with us so no thanks.

My reaction was more to do with the fact that it’s an odd reaction to the derby win, where he set up a goal by winning the ball and playing in O’Hara, to come on here to moan about him never winning the ball/doing anything and not even mention the win/overall performance.
He wasn’t great tonight and hasn’t had any particularly good games for us. However, I thought he did more than Lawless tonight, but he was nowhere near one of our better players, I do agree. I expected more when he signed. It’s worth noting though that we’ve started scoring more goals since he came in to play in that number 10 role and him being there seems to create more space for O’Hara, Thomas and Lawless. He also helps drive the team forward and gives our striker some support - something a lot of people on here were moaning about nobody else doing before. He does the basics and that’s probably all that’s needed in that role at this level, when we have Thomas and Lawless out wide.My frustration isnt just tonight’s performance from Polworth ( and Lawless to some extent) but both have been very poor for the last 4 plus games. They wouldnt figure in my starting 11.

Can someone explain the point of Polworth to me. Rarely wins possession rarely makes a pass just an empty shirt shadowing opponents most of the time.

Big thanks to Neil at Raith TV for helping out with my access problems as wanted to watch the match from England. Hopefully I wont regret buyng the game !

WE got what we deserved , zero creativity one shot on target perhaps the whole game? Passing was woeful.

Not usually a fan of the gushing football fans do over people who have any kind of impact on their club; a stand named after them, retired jerseys etc. But I think it would be fitting for Ross McArthur to have something dedicated to him, perhaps a part of the training ground.
It’s been easy to forget recently how dedicated McArthur has been to the club. Some of his mistakes have been very frustrating, but I think his commitment to the club should be immortalised as he steps down.McCarthur Park has a certain ring to it.

Why are are board delaying this?
it’s clearly the only option, the quicker they implement it the better.
What benefits to the club to we gain from letting him take more training sessions? he’s only going to make things worse.
Maybe there will be a double announcement : goodbye Peter Grant , lets welcome XXX as the new DAFC manager. Just a thought.

There probably is money, I am guessing the Rangers game will contribute at least £200k to the coffers which wouldn't havde been forecast. Against that you have the expense of the floodlight replacement (£100k was mentioned?) so there is some cash around I suspect.

The writing on the official site has never been terrific. There is an over reliance on puns and it’s sorely lacking a strict sub-editor.
However, since the work will be getting done for free, you get what you get.
Once I looked up the meaning I thought it was pretty clever.

McDonald doesnt look to have much pace about him, otherwise he looks OK.

Plaudits to the commentary team on PTTV , I thought they were excellent, clear concise , unbiased and knew a fair bit about the Pars.

Yes, I was aware that they had 2 (?) members on the football board.

Our German investors have the option to increase their shareholding to that of controlling interest over the next 12 months. They will therefore have a major influence on any decision. Our Board wont wish to do anything that jeopardises that investment. Our form over the last 5-6 months has been more akin to relegation threatened rather than winning promotion. Over that period we have delivered some of the most wretched performances I can remember in 5 decades of watching the Pars. That wont have gone un-noticed.

I’ve been moaning about/focussing on the Wighton sub so much, that I actually forgot the tactical ineptitude that cost us the 2nd goal.
We took off Murray, a strong CB that Crawford made captain, and moved Whittaker to CB to mark Ugwu - who is a powerful striker. Whittaker off had to be the change, unless we were switching to 1 CB. Honestly, his subs today are enough justification to sack him. Never mind our last 12 away games in the league.Suggestion that Murray was injured. But I agree the Wighton and Mayo substitutions were bizarre.

I thought before the game that we needed big performances from Thomas, Wighton and Henderson and sadly only Henderson delivered. We failed to exert any continuous pressure on Raith's goal and we failed to get in behind their defence. At no time did we overload their defence or get them turning. They looked pretty composed throughout. Raith seemed happy to let us play in front of their defence. Crawford adopted a three quarters press which failed to exert any pressure on the back four allowing them to play the ball around the back at will. Raith let the ball do the work whereas our players were having to work very hard.
I thought our chances were more or less "half chances " other than O'Hara's at the end and maybe McManus in the first half. On the subject of McManus, Crawford stop wasting him in this role, his ability to contribute effectively to the game is severely curtailed despite his willingness. I thought Henderson, O'Hara and Whitaker were our best performers. That was some shot from Whits that hit the crossbar in the first half and he did well to navigate the whole game after picking up a Yellow after 25 minutes.
I dont think Raith set up to win that game so they will be pleased with the result.

I was impressed with Inverness on Friday night , high energy , good passing , high intensity. I t will be a hard game next week and its one, with another performance like yesterday we could easily lose. We aren't out of the woods yet.
