Magnethead Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Do you rate Clarke better than Baird? No, not a chance, Baird is by far the better player. Bad news for Raith if Baird is for moving, he's their best player by a mile. Happy days for us though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'd rather take the financial hit in the short run, keep Baird til the end of the season and then let him go for nothing than sell him and inevitably be relegated. If Baird goes, I fear we've had it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p&b is a disgrace Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Even if Baird stays, I fear we've had it. Fixed it for you. Not looking forward to todays game. If Dundee are up for it today, I reckon we could get a severe doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 ^^ correct. Relegation would be a bigger disaster than losing out on a few thousand (if that ) quid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'd rather take the financial hit in the short run, keep Baird til the end of the season and then let him go for nothing than sell him and inevitably be relegated. If Baird goes, I fear we've had it. Even if we stay up, losing Baird's goals could even drop attendances by enough to negate the fee received. It's very difficult to say without seeing the figures involved (Baird's wages, too) but looking at it with the information we've got I'd be inclined to agree with you. I'd try to hold onto him and then see what the summer brings with regards to much greater options for replacing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Alright ladies, long time no see. Apparently, we're back in for Baird, how's he been performing this seaon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Alright ladies, long time no see. Apparently, we're back in for Baird, how's he been performing this seaon? Dunfermline have far bigger worries than going for a striker, surely? Two new goalies, a new defence and two central midfielders at the bare minimum based on what I've seen. However, he's been OK. Scored, what, 8 or 9 goals? Off the boil recently but the team are dreadful and it isn't his fault. Still tries exceptionally hard usually and could be the difference between relegation and survival for us. I expect him to leave this window though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 premature It really would be all we need for this to end up falling through. Hill is out for eight weeks; Brian Graham is out for around another six; Dyer is suspended for the Morton game. Anyone's guess as to what team we will put out if the deal for these two falls through.Whilst we'd get Dyer back from then on, we would continue to find ourselves woefully short for the next month or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Graham and Hill wont be missed as far as I'm concerened. Dyer being out isnt so good tho. Its time to give other players a chance - they can hardly do much worse. Hill has been transformed into a donkey this season, for some unknown reason. Graham is a haddie. Walker too can be dumped for all the good he is, he's had enough chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Maybe they haven't performed as you would have hoped, but in terms of numbers we are sadly lacking. Having less options is unhelpful, and we have seen the reluctance of McGlynn to use the younger players already. I don't think shunting players around to ensure they don't have to play is particularly helpful either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 This what the youth system is for. This was Mcglynns choice to go with the smaller full time squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the grand scheme of things neither Hill or Dyer will be missed but as you say,number wise they will be This was Mcglynns choice to go with the smaller full time squad. Exactly and something he uses regularly as an excuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mij Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) confirmed now We have this afternoon extended the transfers of Jamie Walker and David Smith. Edited January 5, 2012 by Mij 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 This what the youth system is for. This was Mcglynns choice to go with the smaller full time squad. Yes, and he has next to no interest in using them to freshen up the team, which now more than ever needs an injection of energy and enthusiasm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If we aren't going to give.the young boys a chance now then we never will. If I was a youth player at raith I would be totally fucked off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
