Brashy's Boots Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 All football fans are fickle. BRE was going to stride across opposition attacks like a colossus this season, until you all realised he's actually not that good. Jefferies was doing fine until he wasn't, etc. If Locke places us 6th I suspect we'd actually be happy enough, considering it's half a new team and a complete change of management. Depends who finishes above us and how we came to finish 6th. I think EVERYONE is surprised how well we've started, but it's nothing more - a good start.

Michael W Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It would be the manner of finishing sixth that would determine how I felt the season had gone. If it's a close miss from 4th place it would be disappointing but a fair effort in a tight league. If we were miles away from 4th I would be unhappy. We always tend to start well, so I won't be getting carried away. I am pleasantly surprised so far, but we can't draw any indications of how we'll fare this season just yet. I do however think our last two results in particular have been excellent, as both sides undoubtedly have similar aims to us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojito Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Vaughan was good until he went off, links the play really well and has a great touch. A quiet game by his standards but absolutely no where near "gash". This. His touch and vision is on a different level to most of the players in this league.Despite his size he is an incredibly strong player. The boy has a very bright future ahead of him.

We Are Pars Fans! Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thought Vaughan had a good game for Raith, was involved in a lot of the link up play between midfield and strikers and showed good movement.BRE had a mare, looked out of his depth, 2nd goal summed up his performance. Fordyce in for him next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 From the Rovers end how honking was the attempt by Hutton attempt to save the first? Looked from my vantage point like a shot the keeper should have saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 No keeper in the world would have saved that. Superb strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 He's fucking dreadful, rather we signed another keeper than a striker rght now. At the very least give Gill a chance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 From the Rovers end how honking was the attempt by Hutton attempt to save the first? Looked from my vantage point like a shot the keeper should have saved? Would be harsh to blame the keeper for the first. It was right in the corner. In saying that, the fact Hutton got down and got a hand to it could make you think he should have done better. Wouldn't blame Hutton for either. Defence should have closed Barr down a lot quicker. And as for Stewart's goal. BRE :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important is the fact that you've got a large number of players who are bang average for the Championship. Hutton, Ashcroft, Richards-Everton, Martin, McCabe, Cardle, Reilly, Moffat and Hopkirk would not get a game in Rovers' starting line up. That leaves you with Geggan, Higginbotham and just maybe Williamson - but his defending is fuckin awful so that kind of rules him out. And Higginbotham is a temperamental wee c**t so you're left with Geggan. Happy rebuilding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the second, BRE, oops., Stewart shimmied ye there son No way the keeper would have got it, right in the postage stamp corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 You do wonder how we were better for such parts of the game with such a honking team. Loads of hyperbole from the Raith fans here, they're not going to take the next derby well tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely59 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Why? Do you think you will beat us? Seemed to hear that prior to Saturday lol. How can you not see that we are a far better team than you. You just better hope we don't play to our best. Saturday we were a bit off form and with a crocked keeper and you still failed to get a decent shot on target COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in the second half, when we were better, we were streets ahead of your awful lot. Seriously, you've got so many ordinary players you've just got to hope that allot a lot of them are only on one year contracts. Hopkirk's on two. In AJ we trust.
