RaithTheRover Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hendry's injury is taking longer than hoped to clear up. It's now expected his time out will be somewhere between the initial prognosis of 3-4 months and the second opinion of 4 weeks. Based on that I would be surprised if he is back before the New Year. He’s back when the pain goes away isn’t he? He can run and do gym work, he just can’t strike a ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe so but judging by what McGlynn said that's still 2-3 weeks away yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDiamond Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Raith Rovers unbeaten at home in the league but having put in some poor performances of late.Airdrie coming off 6 straight wins and having won 6/7 on the road. It’s delicately poised. Really hoping Airdrie put in a performance on Saturday and win but no idea what to expect.Roll on Saturday [emoji815]️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Miller, S. Anderson and Hendry all a good few weeks away from returning. That's not good at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's a real problem for us. That's two of our our most consistent players along with an exceptionally experienced centre back. Miller has been a huge miss. We look a completely different team without his presence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to keep you happy, JMcG basically suggested both Miller and Hendry are fit to run but not kick, 2-3 weeks....SAndo has a tear in the hip flexor, 2-3 weeks. I concur! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I’ve no idea how McGlynn keeps it together through this never fucking ending, genuine years long injury crisis. I’m a slavering mess and I watch the team once every 2/3 weeks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyDD Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 After a run of six wins on the bounce, scoring 19 goals and conceding only 4, beating Falkirk and East Fife, it's hard to resist feeling like something is going to give, especially when we have struggled to get anything off Raith in recent years. Airdrie undoubtedly good enough to win the game but, given we have Peterhead at home and Clyde away in the next two matches and given Raith keep getting results at home, a draw wouldn't be a calamity. Regardless of the result, i'm confident the airdrie players will give Raith a game and work themselves into the turf to get a result. That is, ultimately, all I can ask for. I'd expect Raith to improve their performances from the apparently poor stuff of late, given it's a top of the table clash and a chance to reclaim top spot. If we can sneak a wee lead, though, I'd expect us to see it out. Buzzin like a second hand fridge for it, regardless. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 After a run of six wins on the bounce, scoring 19 goals and conceding only 4, beating Falkirk and East Fife, I didn’t realise your run had been quite that spectacular.Well done Airdrie.

If we can sneak a wee lead, though, I'd expect us to see it out. Difficult to see us improving, our poor form hasn’t been down to key players under-performing, it’s been down to key players not playing and that isn’t going to change for Saturday [emoji31] I’d be surprised by anything other than an away win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It's a strange one. We've been on a great run and I think we're just determined to enjoy it whilst expecting it to end at every opportunity lol A win at Starks Park is a huge statement, would love it if we could manage it. I concur with the guy above who says that he is sure we will run ourselves in to the turf regardless of the result. I couldn't have guaranteed that before but now I think we can and that's all we can ask. It's the platform that teams win games from. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me mate, I'm still struggling to accept it as a reality haha. Credit to Ian Murray and the players, sensational Month or so. That's encouraging, horrible time to lose key men to injury especially given the top teams all playing against each other, albeit i'd still expect the current players to up their game given the size of the match. I'd be absolutely delighted if they don't, though. Expect an interesting game at the very least! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I think given our poor form, injury situation and most importantly Airdries excellent form – I reckon a draw would be a good result for us in the grand scheme of things. We have been playing very poorly of late yet somehow picking results and clean sheets up. Whilst some say that’s the mark of a good team, its probably more like a slice of good fortune, and that only lasts so long. I’d like to see G. Anderson start so we have at least some kind of out ball. Whilst he didn’t personally play that well against Montrose, his presence really helps stretch the game out and keep possession away from goal. Its not pretty, but that’s the way things are right now. We don’t really have the personnel to play the passing game at the moment, so we need to have players who can mix it up a bit. The lack of a proper right back, and Hendry in the middle of the park, is pretty huge to be honest. Eliminates 50% of our wide threat, and we just don’t have that quality in the middle of the park. If we can keep it tight as we have done lately then who knows, but Airdrie are a far better team than Forfar, Peterhead or Montrose. We wont get lucky playing like we have if we are to come away with a decent result. Losing S. Anderson is a blow, but Benedictus and Davidson have largely stepped up of late, so I’m not massively concerned regarding the defence. I just don’t feel we offer anywhere near enough going forward right now to win a game like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Montrose were on a good league run and we ended that. We'll end this run on Saturday and then we'll run all over section b. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Wish we would try Baird in midfield. We are short of creativity there just now & he can do a job. Is better behind the strikers than as a front man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
