There was a cult following wanting to get him signed up. The word was it was Cammy Lewis. “Dario Valente @Darval2711 f**k me I’ve just heard wee Cammy Lewis scored for the Rovers tonight. I’m sure it was only a few months ago I heard he was getting telt to shut his puss for singing Rovers songs during his exams 3:26 PM · Aug 20, 2019” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Acht well, that's us fucked good and proper. No amount of 'oh but we have X, Y and Z that can step up' is going to cut it I'm afraid. No Spencer and Vaughan is pretty catastrophic to our squad at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 At least it's weeks rather than months, which is something given Vaughan's history. These next 6 weeks are going to be a grim old struggle though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev23 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I find it quite daft when teams lose games with freak events, lose big games more often not or have horrendous injury luck and we’ll have posters from that club saying “only *insert team*” as if it’s never happened to another team before but f**k me, only Raith Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigi Alabocheré Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Dinny sweat it lads. A cardboard cut out of Lewis Vaughan would still get a brace against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 So, with Vaughan out we have a couple of choices. Keatings is a similar, if less productive (so far) player to Vaughan, so we can plug him in. Alternately, we switch to a different approach, perhaps two up top (Poplatnik and Varian or Mitchell as the heavies), and play Connolly and Zanatta wide in a 4-4-2 or 4-2-4. Of those two, the slightly riskier is the second, but the lack of playing time for Keatings suggests JMcG might not be totally confident in him. Additionally, Keatings for Vaughan certainly reduces some of the threat, pace and creativity that we loved last year. So does JMcG use the Aberdeen match as a test for formation adjustments or simply plug in a replacement for Vaughan? Might he take the third course and try Varian for Vaughan without other changes? It certainly would be outside his normal position, but he has played as a second striker before…and on the other hand, he is reported to prefer his left foot, so might match well with Keatings in a front two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
