Don’t know if he’s injured or been given an extra week rest given the amount of games he played last season and his injury record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted Saturday at 13:48 Share Posted Saturday at 13:48 I would imagine vaughans pre season will maybe look a little different to most players considering his injuries. Wouldn't read anything in to him not being any of the pictures so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has his own tailored regime these days. Commentary mentioned he was at the game, sitting behind the Raith TV guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: No, we've made 7 signings and there are 8 listed. D'oh. They are listed as Trialists because of the July 1 contract starts…see also, #21 - Trialist E aka Shaun Byrne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted Saturday at 14:14 Share Posted Saturday at 14:14 Not watching the game but quite interested to see how Gibson looks. Anyone know if there will be highlights of this game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted Saturday at 14:41 Share Posted Saturday at 14:41 (edited) Struggling to score goals again I see, I know it's the first bounce game and a testimonial n all that but expected a wee goal spree Edited Saturday at 14:42 by SirJimmyofNic -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if there will be highlights of this game? Gibson looked lively. He was linking up well with Lewis Stevenson until Murray switched the wingers. Overall I'm fine with that. A good opportunity to get lads some match time, particularly those where the season ended far earlier than the playoffs. Big Kev made some excellent saves and we had a few opportunities. There wasn't much in the way of chances created, but I don't believe we're finished our business and will have at least one or two bodies to add. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine there is much you can take from that kick around either way. Not sure we'll add much else. I think we are short a striker but that's not an easy thing to add.

Brashy's Boots Posted Saturday at 15:20 Share Posted Saturday at 15:20 Have to say, and before I say it, I know it was 1st game and no real test etc, but Stevenson and Hanlon looked superb. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted Saturday at 15:21 Share Posted Saturday at 15:21 Hanlon and Stevenson look a cut above. Hard to gauge overall as we're playing a game with less than a week's training under our belts. East Fife certainly created the clearer chances. Connolly and Hamilton were well off it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanStarko Posted Saturday at 15:31 Share Posted Saturday at 15:31 What you’d expect from the first preseason game after only a week of training. Missing a wee bit of sharpness and the new players getting used to how we play. Like others have said, Hanlon and Stevenson look a level above everybody else, which you’d kinda expect. And no disrespect to Keith Watson, but when you watch Hanlon, Stevenson and Fordyce run, none of them look like they’re about to fall apart which was unfortunately what Watson looked like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads who were here last season had a 4 week break. With that said, some of the shouts in the stand were incredible. Connolly and Hamilton were on the receiving end of some rather daft comments from a couple of people. 8 minutes ago, Brashy's Boots said: Have to say, and before I say it, I know it was 1st game and no real test etc, but Stevenson and Hanlon looked superb.

Aye, definitely. Hanlon looked calm and composed on the ball. Fordyce was no nonsense. Stevenson was constantly trying to get on the overlap. Even his first ball in the box was done based on instinct and showed the level he can bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted Saturday at 15:36 Share Posted Saturday at 15:36 (edited) Second half today was decent enough. Hanlon and Stevenson look quality additions to the squad, as does Lewis Gibson. No involvement from Vaughan but I saw him outside signing autographs. No sign of Stanton. Agree with the comments that we look another decent striker light of a really good squad.

SerieA Posted Saturday at 15:42 Share Posted Saturday at 15:42 Typical pre season game. Usual big save from Kev.Think he’ll need to be better with ball at feet with this team/squad.Distributing early to defenders. Fordyce was good. Him n Hanlon looked good together and both can play out from back. Stevenson will be massive for us this season. Playing pretty advanced and can see him combining well with Easton down left. Freeman looks energetic down the right. Gibson quick but pitch didn’t help him at times. Not much to report with Montagu being a late sub. Murray will say good workout. We’ll be saying what about the goals. Missing Vaughan and Stanton today so missing potential goals from them. Hamilton needs to step up a bit more for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted Saturday at 15:59 Share Posted Saturday at 15:59 Initial thoughts after today is Stevenson and Hanlon look the business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted Saturday at 16:08 Share Posted Saturday at 16:08 Fordyce looks comfortable either side, good at organising his defence too. Murray looked pretty comfortable on the right side. Hanlon looks class, will be really interesting to see who lines up for the first league game at the back, assuming everyone is fit. Stevenson looked excellent, drifting inside as well as being able to go down the line will help to switch up our play. To be fair, Matthews did a bit of that in the first half too. Easton and Mullin looked lively. Brown was his usual self of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted Saturday at 16:12 Share Posted Saturday at 16:12 Initial thoughts for me are Fordyce is going to be a good signing, talks throughout, happy on the ball and clears his lines well. Stevenson was surprisingly quick and looks to get forward. Hanlon strolled it. Gibson was very lively on. Hamilton doesn't hold the ball up. We missed Vaughan and Stanton and we are still for me a couple of players short. A striker and I still would like to see better presence in the middle of the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
