BPM Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 2 hours ago, TxRover said: It’s mental the take some people have on Corr. He got some time pre-season, got injured and then was buried until the last seven matches of the season/playoffs. During that seven games he started despite having a strapped up shoulder…and helped us get to the playoff finals. All this on top of playing in the Lowland League last year. Did he make mistakes, yes he did…but the majority of the time he was calm, composed and did the job we needed. 14 matches, for a total of 977 minutes! Seven of those games have been since 19 April, totaling over half his minutes. If he can effectively start with that little playing experience all season, he’s EXACTLY what we need/want. He has the speed that our more senior signed CB lacks, he has experience with IM’s system, and he’s plenty good at this level. And for those saying we need players capable that the next level, no, we don’t need (and can’t afford) that right now. We need good Championship level players, especially younger ones, that we can evaluate for the ability to raise their game if we get promoted. I think Corr meets that standard, will be re-signed and will start at least 33% of the games next year (especially if we switch to 3 CB). Obviously not seen much of him other than the play off games. However on those showings he was your poorest player. If Raith are to challenge for the title they will need to get their back door sorted. That lad and the two fullbacks are not good enough to win that league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 From that back 4 on Sunday, Murray is the only one I would like to see as a regular starter next season. Stevenson will be the left back assuming he has signed, we obviously need a right back, Corr has potential but is still not ready to become a regular starter for us, and Watson just can't be relied upon to stay fit. We need to replace Rudden with a competent forward. Preferably someone with the pace to run in behind. If Easton does go, Turner would have been the ideal replacement but he'll more than likely get a chance at County with a new manager in place and Dhanda leaving them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premiership one would likely contain bonuses for draws and staying up, whereas the Championship one would likely contain lesser bonuses for each point gained, but a bigger reward for promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaithRyan Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Going by some of the players replies to these social media posts by the players, I can’t help but think that these guys won’t be returning. Hope I’m wrong as I’d like to see a few come back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced much openly expressed sympathy with either side of the Old Firm at Rovers games, maybe the odd wee muppet in the young team and that guy with the flag but that’s about it, oh and Drysdale giving players away . My ex army pal goes to watch Shamrock Rovers and reckons Johnny Kenny would be a good loan deal for us. Was on loan to them from Celtic last season. Decent striker apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Corr, Dick, Millen, Watson, Byrne, Easton, Mathews, McGill, Arnott, Masson, Ross. Are the only ones out of contract. Byrne, Easton, Mathews would be a loss but hardly irreplaceable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 2 hours ago, TxRover said: Two legs against opponents from the division above, and directly against a player than multiple other teams in that same higher division have interest in? A player than multiple fans posted should be looking at playing at a higher level (e.g. England). If the poster had said that Corr had struggled against a very good player I would've agreed Tx, to say that he didn't put a foot wrong is daft thiugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoversNProud Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Incredible turn out yesterday, well played all who travelled up (except for the minority who left after goal 3 and 4.) What a season for us all though. I’m not too disappointed, we are a small club in a small town and this is our level at the moment . As a club we are ahead of schedule with the new regimes plans, however the progress from where we where this time last season is phenomenal. I'm sure the board will act promptly to continue this growth into next season and have a good go at winning the championship 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Looks like the contracts are up on Friday so probably a squad update towards the end of the week. Would guess any new signings will be from Saturday onwards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen the level we need to get to and can build towards that this summer. We should have more funds available to aid with this from prize money, our gates have doubled this year and pie sales that equal more than the economy of a small country. What we need to be careful.of is falling away the following season like, Ayr, ICT, Arbroath and Queens Park have in the past. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
