Ludo*1 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Looks like we'll have to be wary of Count Duku. 8 goals in 2 games for Raith. Next week can only be tougher than the utter shite we came up against today. Hopefully McGlynn plays an open game rather than reverting to type and I'd be surprised if he didn't considering Raith are freescoring right now. ETA: The first sentence reads as if Duku has scored 8 in 2 games. Sorry for any confusion. Edited October 24, 2020 by Ludo*1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Not exactly ecstatic about playing Raith in their current form. We were relatively comfortable keeping a clean sheet against an anaemic Morton side, but you lads are scoring for fun. Haste ye back, Jakubiak. Much rather him than Mullen in that false 9 role. Afolabi can do damage if given the chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is that, but yeah 3 players forced off with injury today added to a couple of longer standing injuries. Other than the 11 that finished we only have a couple of 16/17 year olds as options. Hopefully at least a couple of them will be okay for next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn second time around couldn’t be any more different than his first spell. We don’t really tend to play anything other than an open attacking game since he came back. A few seasons working under Brendan Rodgers at Celtic has made his style much more aesthetically pleasing when compared to his previous Craig Levein learned hoofball. Will wait to see what the injury situation is before making any predictions. Kevin MacDonald, Benedictus, Ross and Vaughan all look to be doubts after today in addition to Ugwu already missing. Will be interesting to see how our young midfield measure up to the quality and experience Dundee have in there. I think it is the strongest area of our team but I’m sure Dundee fans would say the same about their midfield. Should be a good watch.

RossBFaeDundee Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If we can go into every game this season with teams decimated due to injury and/or COVID and/or suspensions, I'll fucking take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Nice to see our friends from Kirkcaldy back. I have a soft spot for Raith being born in Forth Park hospital. However, your good start now must come to an end in a slow, turgid fashion at Dens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Straight forward home win. Keep McGowan and Hamilton on the bench. Same line up to build some more confidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to sound condescending as f**k, but I view them as a smaller version of Dundee. Same kinda colour scheme, same sort of stadium layout (Modern mixed with old) and a decent lot on here. Both have had crazy spells and both have had financial troubles. Jocky and Barry Smith have done their damnest to ruin them forever whilst they are massive legends for us. The games we have against each other are usually notable as well. Neil McCann's goal vs them putting us out the quarter final of the SC. The 2-1 away win in the Deefiant season vs them ending our Deefiant run. Hopefully we end their good start next week but definitely one of my favourite other Scottish clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came on for Benedictus today. It'll depend on how our casualties from today recover. I'd say there's a fair chance you'll see him make an appearance at some stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than a 25-30% chance, and you’ll likely be disappointed. If we play three CB, like we did vs Hearts, he’s a stick on. With two CB, it’ll depend on Bene and KMac’s injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he put in 60 minutes or so verses Hearts, and wasn’t featured in any of the beatings issued for conceding goals or massive errors. He’s actually looking to have gotten up to speed with the game and has speed and a hell of a passing eye. Positioning is still a little bit of a weakness, but not nearly what it was...honestly, Davo and Bene are looking a little vulnerable at this level. We can, however, certainly clear balls of the line. Edited October 24, 2020 by TxRover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
