Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Needs more Petries imo. ETA, I see what you were doing there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Looks like Watson is off to Hibs. A good move for him, and probably justifies the actions of both the player and McKinnon. If he'd signed on early he'd miss out on a move to a bigger club, and we'd have been left hanging if we'd waited for an answer. He played every minute of last season. Hopefully we can get similar consistency from his replacement(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Where you seen that? Hibs fans seem pretty convinced that he's in for a medical tomorrow. It hasn't been confirmed by Inside Transfers yet though, so I'm a little sceptical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Maybe here. Maybe, though he didn't reject anything, he got told to bolt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Good move for Watson that, quite happy for him. Did well for us and is a player I would've definitely kept. Best of luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Matt Elder - Raith Rovers land a key signing target - full story in tomorrow's @ffp. Is this just going to be Craig Wighton? Most Likely. Although Last weeks paper mentioned that the agreement had been reached. So I'm hoping its the new signing that City Press had on twitter for Friday has actually been finalised early.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say he isn't good enough for Hibs, then realised they are still stuck at the same level as us, Alloa, Dumbarton and Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 That would be a major letdown. He replied to someone saying it's someone different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 if it's a new signing that we've not already heard about, I'd expect the club to release it before the ffp Could be the club will announce it early tomorrow morning. It could be Dale Hilson or maybe it's the guy who was down south that was mentioned a couple of weeks back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just looking at the team there are a lot of new guys in there especially in key positions such as centre half's. We might be a fee games in before it all settles and gels the locals will need to temper there expectations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 At this moment in time, these are our options for every position, ranked in a rough order of how I think we may line up to begin with: Goalkeepers David McGurn (34) Kevin Cuthbert (32) Right Back Jason Thomson (27) Lewis Toshney (23) Left Back Rory McKeown (22) Darren Petrie (19) Centre Back Craig Barr (28) Kyle Benedictus (23) Lewis Toshney (23) David Bates (18) Centre Midfield Ryan McCord (26) Ross Callachan (21) Darren Petrie (19) Ross Matthews (19) Right Wing Grant Anderson (28) Mitch Megginson (22) Left Wing Mitch Megginson (22) Grant Anderson (28) Strikers Mark Stewart (27) Craig Wighton (17) Lewis Vaughan (19) Decided to add ages in to show we're not quite as low as some seem to think, a typical starting line-up to begin with will probably involve McGurn, Thomson, Anderson, Barr, McCord and Stewart, who have all played over 100 games at this level or above. Benedictus also falls into that category despite his age, and Megginson isn't far off. Where we desperately need to strengthen is in the wide areas, we saw in Cardle's full season when he and Anderson were the only two wingers at the club how stale things could get with no competition. Both had some pretty brutal games, Cardle especially was torture at times during the infamous "3 in 20" run but Murray played both every week regardless as he had no other option. A winger and a striker with some form of physical presence are musts. That apart are we really missing much, if anything? Possibly a centre midfielder? That's only if Matthews isn't ready to make the step up properly if we get injuries, if he is then those 4 are probably enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
