It's certainly an interesting take on how our wages bit is split... Part time Kieran MacDonald making more than a fair few of our full time players, including Hendry. I'm calling bullshit. If it was true then Gozie has got one hell of an agent, almost as good as the agent Adam King has.

Yeah it's obviously wild guesswork (or stolen from Football Manager) but some of the discrepancies are a bit of a laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just on the money thing. At the start of the season before this thing dragged on to another lockdown fans were expected back through the gates at some point during the season. Have the club budgeted for that? I know we sell streams but whole families will buy the stream as opposed to each paying entry.As mentioned, Sim said we'd be fine. But even then, it's worth mentioning we got £500k to cover "covid related costs" from the Scottish government. It was an arbitrary figure set by the government and nobody knows what basis as it was set. But if you look at the financials the £500k more than covered the expenditure of most clubs pre covid. Its almost like we got given a £20 note to get some bread, milk and a paper and to keep the change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 They must have someone lined up at such a key stage of the season. Didn't they get manager of the month recently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Mixed news on injuries. On the injury front, Jamie Gullan is set to return and Kieron MacDonald might be ready to start after making the bench against Alloa. McGlynn says Frankie Musonda remains a doubt, though, with Lewis Vaughan and Ross Matthews both ruled out. https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/football/mcglynns-delight-as-raith-rovers-look-to-take-second-place-in-championship-3209121 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) If we can get Macdonald back into the starting XI, that would be a huge boost. Hopefully Musonda is at least fit enough to make the bench, although if he's fit enough I'd start him. Really don't want to be going into this game with Armstrong at LB. It is a shame that Vaughan and Matthews both miss out. Hopefully we'll get them back for some game time against Hearts before the playoffs.

If we secure second place I wouldn't bother rushing either back for what would be a meaningless game.

pub car king Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Really need Matthews and Vaughan back for the play offs. Hopefully we can eek out a draw at dens and buy a couple more weeks recovery time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheacki Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Having Gullan back and potentially McDonald starting is a big boost for Saturday. Fingers crossed that Mathews and Vaughn are even fit for the play offs, never mind the hearts game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Smith or Ugwu with Gullan King for Matthews Armstrong for KMac...and, God help us, but we have to choose Davo, Mendy or Cooney at CB...honestly, I know it’ll surprise you all, Mendy unless Cooney has impressed JMcG in practice, and drop Davo to the bench after his last display. I think either Mendy or Cooney would give us the game of their lives if started here, and Davo simply looks tired and mentally disconnected with the whole hearing thing hanging over him. Optionally, play a 3-2-2-1-2...

I’ve not seen anything in his limited play time to suggest he’ll cut it as a professional football, never mind in the championship. He might impress McGlynn on training but on match day is where it matters. His lack of starts (when fit) evidences this. I hope i’m wrong and he goes on to do well with us. Either way there’s no way he gets in our starting 11, especially in one of our most important games of the season.

I fear you are correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Must admit iv thought Smith has something about him when iv seen him. He needed a loan move to get regular games though for his development which unfortunately was cut short. I wouldn't be chucking him into the starting lineup at this stage of the season though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
