Got to hope Murdoch gets back very soon. He actively dives in a way giving him little chance of getting the ball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnston hasn't proved his managerial capabilities above League 1 yet. Statements like that are just making a rod for his own back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see us in the top 4 come the end of the season but I think it's unlikely. Hope I'm proved wrong of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainspotter Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'm well aware he managed in the Premiership. Killie fans comments from that period suggest that his capabilities at a higher level than League 1 have yet to be established. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon someone like Michael Higdon would be ideal for us. Currently a free agent, has a good scoring record up here and played in the same Motherwell side as Higginbotham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 So, how are we all feeling ahead of the Dumbarton game on Saturday. Yesterday's match was the only League Cup match I got to see and we were quite poor and created absolutely nothing. Thought Talbot and Wedderburn did alright but no one was impressive. Moffat looked totally lost but he didn't get a lick of service. Spence and McMullan fought very hard for most anonymous performance. It was a grim watch. Now, Dumbarton at home is an easier game on paper but they've not survived in this league for years on a fluke. They've beaten better sides than ourselves but I really think we need to get off to a good start, especially Hibs and Rovers away to come next. The sooner we get back Murdoch, Williamson and Geggan back into the starting XI, the better. Having to rely on the Under 20 guys has relegation battle written all over it. I have faith we'll play much better at the weekend. Obvious issues need addressed but it's very early doors still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 We need an actual second striker as Moffat is never going to be effective on his own or with a support striker playing off him. It's a shame Paton never got any game time despite being on the bench the last two games as I'd feel a lot better with him on the right than McCabe (I'd rather anyone that McCabe in that position though to be fair). Geggan being back will be a big plus for us too. Hopefully a solid win in front of a decent crowd before two tough away games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I am concerned about our injury list. Paton, Reilly and Murdoch all out already, Wedderburn and McCabe off injured yesterday. It will take a while to get Fordyce & Paton back playing and fully match fit. If we end up having to play Spence & Hutton in too many games we will struggle badly and end up in the bottom 3. If Reilly and Wedderburn are fit for Saturday. I will feel more confident about the result, but still have the option of a clagner from the goalie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Our game on the 20th August is all ticket. 20 sheets, ouch. http://www.raithrovers.net/26113/advance-ticket-sales-raith-rovers-v-dunfermline-athletic.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yup Raithie , it's a complete rip off. Good will of the fans ruined again. This now will be the norm I fear. Home games v Hibs and Utd will be exactly the same , all ticket and the same price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) £20 does seem a bit steep - so that'll mean it's going to be £20 (or more) at Stark's, Easter Road, Tannadice, St Mirren's Ground (whatever it's called these days) and Cappilow? Over half the away games. Edited August 1, 2016 by Salvo Montalbano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'll still go because I enjoy a trip to Starks. Will be hesitant for the second game if it's £20 again though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'll still go because I enjoy a trip to Starks. Will be hesitant for the second game if it's £20 again though. Last seasons games against Hibs and Rangers were all £20 and all ticket.I would assume it'll be the same this season with The Pars. Hazards of being a big team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
