oneteaminglasgow Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Mitchell aside, that’s probably full strength for us. He’s a downgrade on Sneddon definitely, but I can only actually remember one game (Dundee at home) where he had a proper horror show of a performance, so it might be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the first match we’re tried without Brown (missed 117 minutes total all season, out of a possible 3,390), and it gives every Raith fan a sinking feeling. We’ll see what happens, without Matthews to replace him, I just hope we don’t try dropping Stanton deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The bench looks really weak and we are not the same without Brown in midfield. At least the pie was decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Said it before when we thought he might miss the Motherwell game, but I think Brown is the single most integral player we currently have. He's probably not the best player, but he's the most irreplaceable. Huge onus on Brad Spencer to (symbolically) shift across and fulfil that more controlled, conservative role in the base of the midfield. I'm a huge Spencer fan and he's definitely got the footballing intelligence to know how to do it, but it's not his natural game. Presumably he'll have Stanton to help him out, but we'll miss Sam at 10. McBride hasn't looked as completely lost recently, but he's undeniably a downgrade on Stanton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 As for Thistle, I was once in a pub at the same time as "Manpreet", and had to listen to a barman very slowly and carefully explain to him that Sea Salted and Ready Salted crisps are the same thing. On that basis, intae this shite Rovers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we use Spencer as a 1 versus dropping Stanton deep…4-1-3-2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 RaithTV reporting Brown may be back for the Cup match…suggesting they’ve heard it’s a shorty to medium term return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would certainly be 'high risk, high reward', but he's stuck with the 4-2-3-1. Stanton alongside Spencer, as predicted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think to loss of Stanton deep is pretty big, and Spencer can certainly fill a sweeper role…the two wide players would have to drop back a bit more, but Connolly and Easton should be good to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Is Harry Milne steaming? He's usually brilliant but so far he's run the ball out of play twice, left Connolly in acres of space for a free cross, and then run right past the ball to let McBride clean through on goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Big shout for a Thistle penalty. Looked like Lang just barged the striker over after letting the long ball go over his head. Would’ve been screaming for it had it been the other end. I like Lang but he really does have an error in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Lang but he really does have an error in him. Exactly the same as the one we did concede in the last minute at Cappielow. Defender touch tight to the striker so he just tips himself forwards. Literally, we've seen them given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Substitute nearly any Championship players name for Lang there, and you’ve summarized why they are playing at this level and not higher up perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Certainly looked to me like Milne had run that out of play again but Connolly has got to play to the whistle and make a proper challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
