I think they'd at last won some games (and had won some games away from home in the last year) and hadn't been skelped 3-0 at home by Arbroath tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moneyshot Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Popadom hands has done pretty well in the last two games tbh. Still doesn't fill me with bags of confidence but I honestly didn't see us getting two clean sheets any time soon.Peter G will be on your case wondering where you got the bags…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 As bad as Dunfermline are apparently playing under Grant - they still should have a team that is capable of bothering the top 4. Wighton, Thomas, Kennedy, Toderov - all players who would be in and around the starting 11 for most teams in this division. Even with a complete donkey in charge the chances are that enough stagnant talent stirs in that Pars team at some point to give someone a fright, even before the inevitable sacking of Grant. At the same time, I'm not sure what to make of the Rovers. Less settled in midfield, unarguably stronger individually at the back (and arguably collectively too, depsite the collapsing arses in the Hamilton and Thistle games) and still blunt up front without Vaughan but with more threat coming in off of the flanks with Zanatta and Connolly - a distressing lack of depth though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Quite frankly he could put out prime Bergkamp, Henry, Pires and Ljungberg and we'd somehow not score goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Looking at the stadium plan Pars ticket sales look pretty good at the moment considering the “we,re pish”,”we,ll get hammered”,”am no going” Edited September 27, 2021 by Rovers_Lad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Grant showed in the abandoned game that he isn't treating this as a normal game. It'll be out the blocks at 100 mph, pressing high up and giving us no time on the ball. However, that can't be kept up for 90 minutes. McGlynn hinted in his post Thistle interview that he's expecting that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I can see either; Grant has the Pars pressing early, we have another shocking lapse, go down one and cannot score to save our lives or the Pars backline shits it early and we romp…last 10-15 minute Pars comeback not ruled out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 9 hours ago, CallumPar said: Not convinced this is true at all. It’s the kind of rubbish that fans of most teams spout, when they’re facing an out of form team. Doesn’t make it true though. You won every game against Alloa last year. If the whole ‘we never do well against struggling teams’ narrative was true, you’d have at least dropped points. In fairness Alloa should have beaten us in the final game between us, we only won because of a shocking refereeing decision in a game where we looked like the team about to be relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Raith fans keep quoting a game from nearly a year ago. As if in the intervening year they've not beaten a single side on a poor run of form, or who were generally poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Nearly every single team has fans who believe they tend to lose/draw games against struggling sides. It's clearly not the case, simply games against struggling side where you win, especially if comfortable are expected. they are quickly forgotten, its the unexpected dropped points that become memorable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never be too confident of a win in the Championship. If Grant was binned by now I'd be certain of defeat!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The most mental thing about this fixture is that we are so terrible and yet we are still going to win this quite comfortably. Makes no sense but thats football. Back to the normal losses/0-0's at Palmerston on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t though. In Peter Grant’s last 13 championship games, he has only managed to beat one team - Dunfermline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your overall point, and all fans think their team are the bad-run-busters for everyone else, but that Queens game was a real classic of the genre. They were nine games into the season, had four points (having beaten Peter Grant's Alloa, naturally), and had conceded 25 goals. In the days before the game, they lost both their senior goalkeepers and had to play a 16 year old who'd only ever sat on the bench once before. As it turns out, that game was a real catalyst for them, but I think their resurgence has people forgetting just how abysmal they were in the first third of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 I’m so embarrassed that Peter Grant is our manager. Even when he gets his jotters, this will still have happened and be a part of our club’s history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Things don't look too bad - Grant's distracted from working out Wednesday's tactics wondering what it's like for women to be pregnant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
