Just in case you haven't noticed. Raith now UNDEFEATED in 19 league games. Not bad for a wee team. Oh how did you get on today LOL COYR

Pars undefeated in 48 (FORTY EIGHT!!!!) hours. OMG. It's insane.

Brad McKay released by St. Johnstone. A lot of folk seem to believe he'd be a good addition to the squad despite the fact we're sorted for CBs. Honestly didn't think he was that impressive in League 1.

Not really, Williamson cannot defend or mark properly and runs away from his man constantly.

Martin was poor against Raith and Talbot is steady if a little unhinged. Both are far better defenders.

I wouldn't play Ryan in defence, as a last ten minute option in attack. Only if he can improve on crossing.

He runs and runs and runs then knocks the ball out of play under no pressure. Fans seem to love this for some reason.

Best fullback in league one :(

Probably would be if he was still there tbh. The standard of League 1 is laughably shit compared to the Championship, as we're slowly discovering.

Your massively overstating how poor Williamson is and likewise your definitely overstating how good Talbot is, all the threat QoTS had came down his side, he was getting fucking roasted by Anderson. Williamson on the other hand had a good few tackles and faced up well to a few one on one situations he had. Williamson is also ok at marking, certainly no worse than Talbot.

Your last paragraph is also, bollocks. He does run, allot, usually past several players before attempting a cross, he doesn't usually find a man but simply by committing players and getting balls into the box it forces players to defend. By and large he was also our only attacking outlet against QoTS and Raith and you'd drop him?

Anderson looked a good player, Williamson is shocking at marking. He's utterly clueless.

Talbot is steady and did ok at Livvy.

An attacking threat, I don't think so. What was the threat? Why not just kick the ball out of play and save the energy. He never finds the man, not once. He doesn't even keep the ball in play most of the time. He's been like this since he started, he hasn't improved anything. Yes he had two bad injuries and he does leave himself open to getting challenged without protection. 

We tried him as a midfielder against Morton away and he got put into the stand after five mins and went off.

I don't see what he gives to the side at this level.

Anderson is a bang average championship player, he ripped the complete c**t out Talbot who showed little, to no defensive awareness. He isn't steady, his rash stupidity could well have cost us a point on Saturday, he's the furthest definition away from steady. Not only that I couldn't give a f**k how he done at Livi, he was OK at the tier below but anytime he's came up against a championship standard player it's been painful viewing.

Williamson is fine at marking, how many times has his shocking marking cost us?

If you don't think he's an attacking threat we'll leave that there, you're miles aff.
