The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Barr goes out on loan till the end of the year to get some fitness up. We continue to use Bates until then and we can then get Barr back match fit in January. Then Bates can go out on loan for the second half of the season to get additional experience.

Barr is well away from being fit, so, if we need someone out now to bring in someone else, then sending Barr out is a non starter. Edited by renton

Says there that Scott Robertson is training with us.

I'd never heard of that website (or their Twitter account) until this season, but they are very, very good for football news for the Lothians and Fife.

To play ahead of Ross Perry who incidentally has already been dropped.

It makes me angry he's earned several thousand pounds a week. I can't think of a worse Rovers player outside the Anelka mob.

But aye. Good luck to Bates. Would be good to see him establish himself like Callachan and Vaughan. If he can calm down a little on the ball I've no doubt he will too.

Perry has been injured. Twice he's been named in the team and has injured himself in the warm up. He's only played once and hardly covered himself in glory in a 6-1 defeat against Dunfermline on the opening day.

Hopefully Bates will come in and do a job and most importantly allow Dods to focus on managing the team instead of having to play every week.

Not really sure I can add to what's been said about Perry.

I'd rather we focused on Bates, who looks an excellent prospect. He'll hopefully learn from an experienced player in Dods while getting game time. He's looked comfortable so far at Championship level so you'd imagine he'd be fine. I'd also assume he'll be still training with us as a full time player.
