Raith Against The Machine Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Dario Zanatta with his worst 45 minutes of the season there, and he's had some pretty abysmal spells before tonight. The right back marking him is so far up the park he might as well be in Crossgates, which should leave Dario with a free run at Efe Ambrose, but instead he's been tripping over his own feet and fucking up three yard passes. Absolutely brutal. The best chance we've had was a shot from our centre-half-turned-left-back that didn't even leave his boot because he was fouled, which speaks volumes. Connolly has been too busy on Dom Thomas duty and our central three can't find any space at all. At the back, for some reason we've decided that the re-introduction of archetypal meat and drink (© @Francesc Fabregas) defender Dave McKay is the catalyst for passing it about again. For some reason everything is going through him, and it was only a matter of time before it cost us. Spencer has to do much better with his first touch but McKay needs to know its a bad pass to make. An actual footballing defender does. The Pars should've had another one but for Lawless blazing it over the bar, but again it was totally self-inflicted. Three defenders all sucked into the ball and absolutely nobody thinking about where the ball might end up. Really amateur stuff, but as I mentioned, exactly what happens when you're changing three of the back four from game to game. Frustratingly, the Pars haven't offered too much beyond those two chances they were gifted. They've been lightyears ahead of us but other than a couple of crosses to nobody, they've not been able to really be incisive in the final third. That should give us some hope for the second half and Ethan Ross might spark something, but I'm sticking with my pre-match prediction that we huff and puff for a while before the Pars get a second and end it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These closing fixtures against Ayr and Dunfermline simply won't mean anything for us by the time we reach them will they? We really will head down without a whimper in protest. It's a fate that we're overdue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely brutal. Was going to ask about this, what’s happened to Zanatta? Haven’t seen much of Rovers since the last derby at EEP, but looks a completely different player. A case of defenders figuring him out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenders certainly started to figure him out and that blunted his effectiveness, but more significantly that saw his confidence drop off and that's really what's made all the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 This sudden reversion to playing out from the back is bizarre in the extreme. Presumably the theory was that Spencer is back and he's the lynchpin that makes that work, but it's given him no time to settle back in, and completely fails to account for McKay at centre half and a wrong-footed Musonda at left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
