CALDERON Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It's ridiculous to say its Ayrs league to lose when we are 4 points ahead in February. We do however need to get a result at Somerset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Perhaps we'd have a better chance of winning if we didn't insist on playing our top scorer out of position? I know we have Herron out and Robertson got injured, but why do we keep playing Vaughan in midfield? What was the point in signing that midfielder from Celtic if he's just there to decorate our bench and never feature? It's beyond frustrating. Controversially, I'd also suggest that the defence has gotten worse since Bene returned from injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the corners we were bad defensively, but i would argue they had a good game otherwise. Euan murray was excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this as one of his biggest critics, but we seem to have been leakier at the back since Smith got dropped, even though Lennox generally looks much more solid than Smith ever did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This its in our hands still I expect that by the time Ayr have beaten us at Somerset Park it will be all over bar the shouting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It will look a lot different.

Away to Arbroath and Albion R is not a guaranteed 6 points btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Albion Rovers seem to be an entirely different outfit whenever they play us compared to literally every other team in the league. That East Fife side are complete toilet. Failing to win the league when in direct competition with an Ayr team who have failed to win any league they’ve been in for over two decades is just about the most Raith Rovers thing I can think of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we did manage to everything to relegate ourselves last season so why not go for the unique double. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yes it should be. They have taken half of thier home points against us. Ayr put a shed load past them a few weeks previous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do however need to get a result at Somerset. Unless we get beat there and still win the league! Ayr still have tricky trips to places like Arbroath, Alloa, Airdrie, even Coatbridge could be a struggle if the pitch is still such a mess. They have shown already that they can lose at home when unexpected too. Like most, I’m starting to lose a bit of faith but the whole season has been up and down for both sides. A point at least down there would be great but wouldn’t be catastrophic to lose providing we go on a winning run til end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Still all to play for. People have been declaring the league over numerous times when one team fucks up or gets a gap and it never is. The reality is that both teams are a bit shit so will drop points. At the moment it’s anybodys guess of which one of us falls over the line at the end of the season 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I think it's likely that if we lose at Ayr we'll lose the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
