I just hope the penny drops that no Stanton mean we need to change it. He has changed it, to be fair. With Stanton available (and for the remainder of the Ayr game and Arbroath at home) we were playing a 4-1-3-2 and he's since moved to a 4-2-3-1, with Brown into the midfield to cover a lot of Stanton's work alongside Byrne. There are further or other changes that could be made, but it's not true to say that Murray hasn't tried to adapt to Stanton's absence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long diagonals with no Hamilton on the pitch. Over run in midfield, won no second balls and ceding possession. Can only recall one shot on target and the 4 subs at the one time was poor. Really feel a couple of fresh recruits would help lift the levels again which have undoubtedly dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are doing that we need to put laddies out on loan. What’s the point in signing players to keep on bench all season then taking in new recruits? we need a wee shake up and some fresh kegs for sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Read that O’Reilly never trained with the squad yesterday. More than Raith apparently looking to sign him which is understandable. Amazing that a short loan has made him go from being without a team with his previous in div 1 to multiple interested at a higher level. Post Pars match you’d have thought he’d be a stick on for signing an extension so I wonder if it’s Murray who maybe thinks he car get better. Who know but every day that passes whilst we have issues at the back if feels less chance of it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side, every good performance he put in for us (4 goals in his time here too) gives him more room to negotiate and demand a salary, something we're perhaps not willing/able to meet. O'Reilly knows he's probably not guaranteed to be a regular starter when everyone is fit either, unfortunately, so that is likely to weigh on his decisions too.

Aye, but Murray also needs to weigh up the chances of Watson coming back in, and then having a spare body on the bench using up funds if he wants or needs to spend that elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC_Liam Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I’ve seen in the FFP that big Kev has been playing through injury since Dundee United and was Knocked out before the Ayr United game if that’s the case then why play him In the previous games which might’ve helped us not drop points at home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I think he will be a guaranteed starter when everyone is fit Watson been out for months and no indication when he’ll be back plus it’ll take him a while to get fit/ Murray has been picking up injuries here and there…. IM obviously doesn’t have trust in Corr or Masson or they’d be playing ahead of a midfielder in CH so this is best time for him I would imagine to sign an extension 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Could it be that we have a choice to make as rumours recently were that we were in for Ashcroft. Maybe Potter and Murray working on the best deal for the club and if we miss out on O'Reilly we bring in Ashcroft who maybe presently is a better fit as we need a balanced back 4 and I'm not convinced we get the best out of Euan Murray or O'Reilly when one is played on the right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray has played on the right for us when both Bene and Davo was here before and looked completely fine I don’t agree with this stuff he can’t play on the right side when he’s done it quite a few times in his career 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Cant see the new owners splashing out too much cash on bringing any players in, theres not many left on highish wages that can go out on loan or moved on apart from maybe Gullan, are we waiting to see if we get past Livi and get a good draw to boost the coffers before any business is done. And on the rumour of Ashcroft, is he any better than O'Reilly, certainly will be on a far higher wage I would imagine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Dom Thomas and O Reilly Seems to be a number in for Ashcroft as well including us, Queens Park and Dunfermline Athletic chasing Ashcroft.

Think he's been bluffing the medical staff but they shouldn't have given him the all clear to play. The daft goal he conceded against Ayr might've been avoided. He also says that he's having trouble with his quad, I was out for 9 weeks when I had bother with mine. Edited January 9 by MICMAC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I think we've officially hit our dodgy patch of the season we all expected. We've thrown away a couple of games now Ayr and Arbroath and were deservedly beaten on Saturday. We now have key players with injuries Kev, Stanton no news on Murray yet. The only saving grace on Saturday was Dindee United getting beat but they've already got the cheque book out this week. This is the test of management and squad to see how we get through it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
