RossBFaeDundee Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The first half of this Fife derby flew by, a good, entertaining and competitive match as I'd hoped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 The lack of Brown or Matthews leaves McGill exposed. Masson would be better suited at RB, with McGill into Stanton’s DM spot…but then who to take off? Have Stanton replace Smith??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 A lot of the same problems as last year with Gullan as a very false nine making it very difficult for us to actually engage the Pars backline into doing some proper defending, but I do think the 3-4-3 is playing a big part too. The wing-backs are doing a good job at keeping Mullin and Smith looking over their shoulders and limiting their involvement. And the three means that even when Vaughan and Gullan do get properly forward, there's still a spare man. We needed something special and we got it. We've actually competed reasonably well in the middle without Brown and Matthews, but we do still look a little easy to run through. McCann is giving Scott McGill a torrid time, but McGill continues to not look out of place pretty much anywhere on the park. Looking forward to the second half. It's been a good game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andriy_Parmolenko Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Good entertaining 1st half. Disappointed to concede but good run and finish from both McCann and Easton. Well in this game, and was a bit concerned with the signings Raith had made that we would struggle a bit. Half expect us to fall away a bit later in the 2nd half when subs need to get made and the lightness of our squad starts to show. At this stage of the season with time to bolster though, quite happy with what I’ve seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Draw is probably fair at half time. McCann's goal was lovely. Disappointed in our defence for the Rovers goal, although will need to see it back. Been not bad for such an early in the season game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 Easton driving in left the defenders the same issue McCann did…risk the penalty or try to block any shot. Easton just did what we always say they should…didn’t go down and got a goal as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Rasta Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Really good goals, great game for the neutral punter watching. It’s a comp you don’t need to play too defensively unless it’s nearer the end of a game for a narrow win. hopefully 2nd half is as good as the first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I thought it was a rather torrid first half. Lots of aimless balls to no one from us while neither team created too much. McCann's goal was lovely, Wee teams well taken after what was a bit of a break but deserved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The fact this is the same team as last season, I'm pleasantly surprised how well we have done so far. If we can get the additions to improve the team then we should have a decent season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Wighton should have us winning here. Story of Wighton, that. He would be playing in the top flight if he had that wee extra impetus about him to get on the end of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Rasta Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Dylan ‘hard’ Corr is prolly go be hot and cold the games he plays hopefully Watson who been very sound can take him under his wing for pointers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Dabrowski is going to have to either get much better at coming off his line, or get marginally sexier, or he'll lose his place as my favourite Rovers player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
