Aufc Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I can’t tell if this chat is tongue in cheek or not so I’m going to completely bypass it. We have been playing poorly but getting results and keeping clean sheets. Airdrie are flying and have a full strength (I think) squad to choose from. I think whoever gets the first goal will go on to win. My tongue was firmly in my cheek. Not sure on the others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Good to see Dale Carrick getting on well. Felt sorry for him when he was with us, clearly a good player who’s career was hampered with injury. I remember Lee McCulloch stamping on his knee when we played them at ibrox! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckay at RB kills a huge amount of our attacking threat But at CB, as part of three back, with wide wing backs, he does just fine. The question is, are we playing 3 back with MacDonald and (maybe) GAndo as wing backs or a plain four back, where McKay isn't as suited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 As predicted, its a 4-2-3-1. McKay at right back. Dingwall and Gullan have looked lively so far though. The latter had a decent effort come back off the inside of the post.I don't mind this so much with Anderson on the right of the "3". In theory, it let's him and McKay play as an orthodox fullback-winger partnership, while on the other side Gullan can play inside and MacDonald can use the space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Quite similar to the Forfar game, this one. Came flying out the traps, created a huge chance, but once the game settled, we've had no ideas.The game is being played in the twenty yards our side of the halfway line.The Rovers have had a load of the ball so far, but they put me in mind of the old Mourinho quote about letting the opposition have possession so that they can make mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 We've been the better side but not particularly threatening. Airdrie just missed a sitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 McKay looking quite good here with GAndo.You're being very, very kind. He's had the right intention a couple of times, and his positioning is certainly improving, but I don't think he's actually achieved anything of any note yet. He's still far too lateral.As I say that, he's just delivered a cross, sort of, which has kind of resulted in a goal.Say "Aye!" to a Dave McKay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 That goal was very reminiscent of the ones we were scoring right at the start of the season, with the fullbacks combining. McKay's overhit cross reaches MacDonald who's arriving late, and his drilled cross is deflected into the goal by Matthews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't take McKay for a genius, but his game time is certainly helping his improvement. Good to see the development in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Really can't argue with going in 1 down, no complaints, Raith also hit the post early and we've hit the bar and missed a one on one.Callum Smith's been a nuisance but it's just not working for him at all today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 An enjoyable half, if not "thrilling". Both sides have had opportunities, but Raith have had the slightly better play. Airdrie look very dangerous on the counter and our wings are causing some real bother for them. Honestly wouldnt be able to complain if it was 1-1, but we missed a couple too. You can tell both sides fear the others potential to break it open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
