Scottydog Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 7 hours ago, RRFC_Liam said: So Friday nights game was very good from our perspective a solid back 4 a RB who defends first and foremost was what we needed, Watson was immense at the back, Big Kev doing big Kev things. Midfield I thought Shaun Byrne was fine once we got settled and the difference Sir Sam Stanton makes this team is remarkable to play almost 90 mins after a bad injury and didn’t look out of place, now the 2 wingers I thought Mullin Worked his nuts off and should’ve scored at least 1 of the chances, Callum smith didn’t do much going forward but done the defensive side well imo he’s a striker rather than a winger. i questioned when the team was announced why Rudden was In there instead of Hamilton and that first 30 odd mins showed why, he scored and caused their 2 CHs problems, Vaughan I thought he was fine in that game. overall it was a good team performance and one we desperately needed but now we have to follow it up away to Ayr next week. While I take your points onboard I felt defensively we were still a bit shaky, we still lack height (all over the park where we still get bullied) and every set piece around the box was a heart in mouth moment for me, as was every time they came down our right, Brown couldn't stop them coming through, but hopefully he'll come good. I can't recall Rudden winning much in the air against the Utd center backs, as such I actually though Hamilton did a bit better in tat respect. It was a night with no real failures though if anyone could be singled out as slightly disappointing it would IMO be Mullin who really should have put at least one of his chances away. Goodwin can bleat about Ruddens goal all he likes, there was no definitive camera angle, the linesman had the best view and he never saw it as an offside, nor I think did any of the Utd players as not one appealed for offside. The Bold Jimmy G also conveniently didn't give an opinion of United's goal, Dick and Holt are grappling with each other but the main difference is Holt's hand in Dick's face, that's a foul 9 times out of 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I noticed this change was when Matthews first came on and immediately went for Sibbald to get him away from Hamilton... who then won the header as it was 1v1 with Graham. I would love to see Rudden and Hamilton play together at some point. Ruddens movement causes problems for the defence and Hamilton is constantly winning balls in the air with no-one to run in behind etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Really encouraged after that closing 20 minutes on Friday, Murray got the changes absolutely bang on. Also happy to see the shithousery from Hamilton which is even funnier on second watch. Well worth a booking. I turned to my dad at the time and said hopefully that changes the mood around the place, and it did exactly that. The first 25 minutes of the second half showed how fragile the confidence was around the place, was a weird atmosphere. Encouraging to see the momentum swing in that way, and all down to proactive actions on the pitch. Even that first corner of the second half just sparked some noise and energy thst was missing, and the volume in the South Stand from then on was superb. Theres a reason why so many teams change ends at kick off. That "Come on you Raith" chant 5 mins before kick off sounded massive. Certainly can't accuse this team of being too nice, which is a complaint I've had in the past. Absolutely massive period coming up though. The reaction to the win at Tannadice in the following games was obviously far from good enough, hopefully we can kick on a bit more this time. My niggling gut feeling has always been that Utd will end up with enough in the tank to win it, but even if that's the case it's important to push them as far as possible, and be there if they do slip up.

It has been mighty amusing this season hearing Pars fans tell us how they don't care about us....repeatedly, while doing nothing but moaning about our social media, the money we're spending, blah, blah, blah.

Virtual Insanity Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I would rather see Raith win the Championship by quite a considerable distance but that's a pretty clear red, textbook example of excessive force. Funny though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
