Lochwood Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 As a few of you are slating the boy Armstrong I’ll swap you for the very frustrating Zanatta no problem, one of quite a few good young players Raith have as they get experience Raith will be fine and can only get stronger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did enough to get a starting spot against Arbroath. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong is a good player. Excellent movement tonight and good mobility. Some games his crossing and dead balls are really good. Tonight it really wasn't there, and we didn't ask any questions of Ayr at corners or free kicks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BukyOHare Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Our pitch does not help things does it? You think we'd like to get the ball down and play with a tempo, there's areas of the pitch that look really soft and other areas that seem to be uneven / bobbly. Wouldn't have happened in the Harkness years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he’ll come in and do well next week, although with Smith back it’s a tough team selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The pitch is a bobbly mess, and I don't think there's any possible way to turn it to an advantage for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Moffat wide on the right and Smith in behind Anderson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Bit confused tbh that half our supporters seem to think we were terrible tonight [emoji23].Also read someone saying Moffat was terrible??? He had our two best chances and commentators were quite rightly raving him. McCowan had one of his anonymous games and Zanatta did more than enough to take his place next week. However Zanatta reminds me of McDaid as someone who plays his best coming off the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked zannatta at raith as well, when he is on form he is good to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BukyOHare Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Put a fit Tom Walsh, Paddy Reading and returning Cammy Smith into tonight's team, and I suspect we'll finish above the Lang Toun Galacticos come the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA - Those clamouring to drop McCowan. Even though he had a bad game he still created a clear cut chance for Moffat. He's also been our most effective player this season.

Ro Sham Bo Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I can't see how any Rovers fan can be anything other than happy with that result and our start in general. Ayr have been in the top 4 the last two seasons and we gave every bit as good as we got. The final ball, particularly from set pieces, just wasn't there from both Ross and Armstrong. It was just one of those nights though because we've looked a much bigger threat from set pieces this season. Especially since Frankie got in the side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Raith as a new team to the league may or may not make the top 4 but one thing is for sure they ain’t going down. Be worried QOS, Arbroath, Alloa and Morton. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghhonestman Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thought our much maligned defence looked pretty solid tonight and Sinisalo had a fairly easy time of it. Roscoe looked pretty solid and I thought we handled Duku well.Going forward, though, we're really not gelling yet. Partly, I think we need Houston back on the right, as with him and Muirhead neither full back really gets forward to add width.Also the front four haven't built up an understanding. McCowan didn't have his best game tonight, but I'd also maybe swap Moffat and Anderson around. We've seen before how central defenders find Moffat's movement difficult, and Anderson might find a bit more space. He looks like he needs a goal to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North British Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Strange game tonight , good draw bad draw ? Time will tell . One thing we found out is that Raith can play , they are way past the promotion lift . On us Moffat could have had a hat trick and Cameron should have done much better . McCowan had a shocker and Dario must take his shirt . Defence went well despite having players out of position all over the place . God we need a goal scorer , the cry of 90% of football fans ... Loved looking at the old stadium ! When oh when will the Waffen SS let us back in ...... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong on form is a superb player, but he hit the first man from just about every cross and delivery he put in. Just well off the boil today and the end product nowhere to be seen. Similarly there is a player on Zanatta as well. He has games where he is well out of it, bit he does have something to offer. Thought he looked dangerous when we came on and he quite possibly saved a point when he hauled down Armstrong just outside the box, who then proceeded to hit a woeful free kick into the stand.

I thought Muirhead was pretty good there tonight, had a few charging runs into the box and probably should have scored one instead of looking for the pass. Didn't look weak at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when you point two aircraft at each other with a closing rate of about 1000 mph, and then one of them decides he can’t hear instructions, it gets a little sweaty, and you can accidentally “swallow” a seat cushion...
