Knowing other teams’ frailties at set pieces etc. McPake can be such a WUM and said after winning 0-1 at Falkirk that the plan was to let Falkirk have the ball for 90 minutes as we knew we could score against them from a set piece after Dave McKay had studied them so closely.

Unless all your defenders stand at the near post and leave nobody within ten yards of craig Wighton at the back post you should be okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading to the section about buying tickets directs right to the home end (which is understandable), but you'd think they'd clearly mark away tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Healthy ex Pars contingent at Raith, could be four starting? Not inconceivable that if Connolly comes back later in the season you could have five. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, Ross can only have played a handful of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djas Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hard one to call, can see this ending up a draw. McCann being available will help and O'Halloran looked decent enough up at United, the week off probably helped us a bit. Genuinely could see Raith winning the league this year. This pars squad albeit short on numbers certainly don't lack in confidence and team spirit. 4 points from the 1st 2 games has been a very good return, another on Saturday and I'll be happy enough with how we have started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the main page you select ‘Tickets & Hospitality’ then click ‘Away Tickets’ and choose the Raith Rovers match. Not sure how that’s “no easy option”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's managed the Pars to their lowest finish this side of the millennium, and also been spoken about in glowing terms while getting our numerous key signings to agree terms over the summer. John Potter is firmly one of the good guys here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigi Alabocheré Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Should be a cracker. Raith’s got a decent side this year but with that being said there last league victory against us at EEP was in August 2009. I’ll go for 2 each. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
