The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Jack Hamilton starts today, as a trialist 😂 in other news Adam Masson starts alongside Watson in the centre and McGill starts at Right-back. No Dylan Corr and no Ross Millan due to injury. Bench contains both sub keepers, and the Young lad from the community along 3 others.

So no surprises injuries are wrecking havoc with the squad.

It was early 2000 that I left early. Playing st.mirren at Stark’s.  We were the better team on the day, even after Jean-Phillipe Javary got sent off. Paul Tosh scored with 5 mins to go and I was happy to leave then as had a wedding reception to go to. Got to my car and had the radio on, just pulling out and felt happy, until I started driving. Raith 1 - St.Mirren 2 😲

Big Guido shat his pants and dived over the ball when Yardley was near him and he trundled the ball into the net. 2 minutes later they scored again, Loy from outside the box I think.

Yes, but this is Raith Rovers where everyone gets injured no matter their injury record 😂 were 3 weeks into preseason and I think its 5/6 out injured already.

 

K.Mitchell, E.Ross, R.Matthews, S.Brown, A.Connolly, D.Corr.

Hamilton should be back today. 

Of which Mitchell, Ross, Matthews and Connolly are injuries/occurrences from the end of last season.

Yet Matthews in his 1st game back was allowed to play for 90 minutes. Great management that!!!!

Ross is finished at the club doesnt even get a mention in interviews.  At least know that Connolly should be back in the next 3 weeks. How long are Corr, Millen, Brown, Matthews out for. A couple of days or weeks.

Matthews out for 10-14 days, Corr is a minor ankle roll, Millen similar with his thigh, Brown unknown and awaiting word about the scan. Connolly is at least 3-4 weeks away. Matthews practiced fine the whole time, so was allowed to play the whole match, which exposed another niggle…can’t say I can see how to blame the team for that.

You nurse players back give them 45 mins, 60 mins even last 20 mins not a full match.

So...like giving him 45 mins in the Linlithgow game?   Which was his actual first game back.

Forgot he played in that game. Nevermind he should have been given time to get match fit.

Excellent test for us to try to break down East Fife. Hamilton quiet on the attack, but already showing defensive credentials on the set pieces. Masson looking good, with Watson vocal in coaching him…McGill looks comfortable at RB.

Powderpuff stuff that’s a mile off the level needed. 
Masson, loves to shove and give 2/3 fouls a game in dangerous areas. Watson strong but negative pace. 

EF a couple of tidy players aside you can tell are shi1te at the back, need to pick the pace up and rip them open.

Made the mistake of breaking my self imposed friendly embargo and bought the Rovers stream.

Fairly low voltage game. Mullin's deliveries look decent, Easton and Stanton doing OK in the middle but without the pressure on them that any competent championship side would exert. McGill, busy as always. 

Nothing particularly to be gleaned from a fairly nothing performance. Can only hope injuries clear up quickly.

Aye, not exactly looking forward to next week with no specialist defensive midfielders and likely only one option from the bench.

Agree on the less pressure, but it’s giving us good practice trying to break down an in depth defence.

Harsh. Disagree on Masson.

True enough, for both sides. But important to start getting Hamilton back to match fitness and see McGill at RB.
