See the latest statement from their board on Twitter. It's obviously a lot easier when you start from a mighty low bar and unexpectedly over achieve, but they continue to show signs of seriously having their shit together. And that'll be the last of me singing their praises because quite frankly, it's giving me the boak. If we had won the league then yes I'd agree but did we really unexpectedly over achieve over the course of the season? as an outsider what was your thoughts on where we'd finish this season? I get we landed on our feet with the new owners and decent signings but the owners were clear the aim this season was the playoffs (granted targets may have changed when we realised we were in a title fight) and ultimately we ended up where I think most would have predicted as the season went on especially with a team like Dundee Utd in the league. I was quietly confident when the season started and with the squad we had put together and looking at other teams squads that getting 2nd wouldn't have been out of reach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate you can just go off vibes.

Not really a direct comparison though it is, considering the league was over at the beginning of March with Dunfermline benefitting from the 2-0 game and trophy day (and every match in between). A better measure would be us this season with 4,750. 26 less than Dunfermline last season but with no big away supports at all we have pulled larger home crowds. My take on it is our supports are virtually identical with us possibly shading it slightly over the years, partly due to our free u12s policy. Whichever team is doing better on the park will have the better crowds. Both of us with outstrip the rest of the league by quite a bit this season, but as we have found out time and again it doesn't necessarily lead to having a better team Edited May 28 by NavyBlueArmy1876 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Raith overperformed their underlying numbers and that ultimately scoring very late winners, winning fairly even games by the odd goal and having the opposition either not being able to finish chances or your keeper pulling off worldies is unsustainable in the longer term. It's why I wonder if Raith might see a slight reversion to the mean next season. At the start of the season I thought Raith would be top 4 for sure but I don't think anyone really envisaged Rovers being so close to Dundee Utd for so long and to be actually leading the Championship so late in the season. So in that regard I'd suggest that yes, Raith probably did overperform to a certain extent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that our support that season was pretty good considering that our challenge was really not that great and we were coming off four outrageously bad seasons.

In the lead up to the 2-0 game at East End Park your fans were falling over themselves to tell us how good your squad was, how good you'd been since we beat you at TFS and how great the football you were playing. Still due to that experiance I'm sure Falkirk fans won't fall into the trap of once again over rating the playing prowess of Morrison, Henderson, Donaldson, McCann, Mackie, Nesbitt etc. And they'll be aware that McGlynn has his limitations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
