Michael W Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I thought he'd get away with it this year with missing the first of pre-season whilst he was on his honeymoon. Sadly, not so. A bloody nightmare run of luck, all things told. Great player, which makes it all the more frustrating. Whilst we're on the subject of injured players, anyone remember a guy called Scott Robertson? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a free agent like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does his contract run out? Even if he comes back as a cracking player for the last 3 months of the season again like he always does, I wouldn't keep him on for next season. Been a massive waste of money. As good a player as he is when fit, I agree. We've had about a full season out of him in the three seasons he's been at us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost over a year to a cruciate ligament while with us too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 After 2 goals for Osei last week in the development league, he bagged another 2 last night..Maybe time for Yaw Osei to make the step-up. We've only seen him twice in friendlies.. he scored in one of them and in the other, he tore the Patrick defence to shreds at times.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 He played at home to Montrose in the cup too, albeit the game was played like a friendly. Didn't do a great deal. It did seem strange to have an empty spot on the bench last week and no Osei/Thorsen/McKay/Stevenson etc there to fill the gap though. I don''t see any harm in having him on the bench, but with three fit strikers plus Skacel I find it unlikely he'd end up on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osei is banging them in... albeit at development league which is more than what either Skacel and Vaughan have done this season. Neither have scored a single goal yet. Pretty sure Osei can do a bit more than both if given the chance. He was signed for the first team yet hasn't had a sniff of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 McKay has been on loan to Montrose and was only recalled this week. Recalled? Thought Davo did a decent job there last week. Smith could be back this week and we'll probably have his loan extended for another month until Thomson comes back. Bit unnecessary recalling him from some valuable game time to come back to sit on the bench if that..Unless he isn't getting game time at Montrose.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better off getting a game in the development squad than sitting on his arse at Montrose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your main point that Osei must be pushing to get more involved in the first team with his goals. Vaughan has been poor since he came back from injury but he was out for a year, he was never going to come back as the same player quickly. Also pretty sure he scored a couple of goals in his outing for the development team the other week so the same as Osei. It's not too long ago he was being hailed as a messiah, the truth of his ability is bang in the middle between that opinion and the one he has suddenly turned to shite. We need to be patient with him coming back and hopefully his form will pick up. An injury and surgery at that important stage of his career has a lot more of an impact that people think. He needs to show more in his sub appearances than he did against Hibs if he's to get himself back in the team though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Osei played (as a sub) against Cove Rangers too. He seemed like a bit of a heid-the-ba', which I suspect is harming his first team prospects more than his ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Aye, Vaughans free kick against Hibs sums up how its went for him this season. Absolutely this. He's had a few efforts of the same manor this season, no where near goal to think he was going for it there or short enough to think that was a half decent cross. Pish everyone of them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The guy Osei seemed very keen when interviewed at half time against Alloa. Ain't heard anything really from or about him since. Hopefully we will see Coustrain at some point on Sat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Barr is out for at least a month. [emoji20]http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2016/10/27/raith-rovers-dealt-blow-bobby-barr-ruled-least-month/?platform=hootsuite Unless we can find an adequate replacement then we'll probably struggle a bit, given a lot of our chances come via Barr. Time for one of the fringe players to show what they can do. Perhaps Johnston - sorry, Mini Messi - can show what he's all about, given a few games....maybe Davo could be a utility winger, after his most competent display at RB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
