Cardle is Magic Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Pars head to Kirkcaldy following a couple of extremely disheartening performances/results and we simply have to play better or we will get swallowed up. It’s not a crisis but this is probably the first time McPake has anything approaching a sticky spell and I’m really hoping we see a much-improved display. Rovers have had an impressive start and unfortunately we’re playing them just before the clocks go back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a crisis but this is probably the first time McPake has anything approaching a sticky spell and I’m really hoping we see a much-improved display. Rovers have had an impressive start and unfortunately we’re playing them just before the clocks go back. We've burst hoodoos at East End and against Inverness this season - if we're going to get decent results this winter it might not be a surprise to see this one go too. A huge amount of it is going to come down to our injury situation. Had yesterday's game gone ahead we'd have been missing Watson, Corr, Matthews, Hamilton, Gullan and possibly Easton too. It's really a case of seeing where things land next weekend but quite a few of those seem to be longer term. With that said, over the last few weeks it really has looked like we've started to click going forwards. In particular, Stanton and Easton have come onto a game, Vaughan looks like he's becoming more confident, and Connolly is now back at full fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I see it being a tight game. The pars have had a reality check last two games but do also have key players out. We’ll create chances for sure but it’ll need to click and a lot will come down to who is in defence and how they perform on the day. Do feel we’ll give a team a scudding at some point but doubt it’ll be this game coming. If McPake can’t get a reaction after two horrific performances against derby rivals then he’ll feel an increase in pressure, especially after losing the first home game 0-1. If we’ve any ambition of giving Utd at least a run to the title and creating a gap to 5th then picking up 3 points here would be ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loemba90 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Should be a good game, probably the two best teams that I’ve seen play Utd this season. Dunfermline at Tannadice were impressive and Utd were grateful for a very late goal to take a point. Pars fans made a big deal about missing half their first team for that game, not sure if those players are now back but they don’t seem to have improved since then - though if Benedictus is also now injured then that will be a big loss as he was excellent against Moult. Raith Rovers played pretty well at home to Utd couple weeks ago and I thought they had better attacking players than Dunfermline. I think home advantage will swing it, 2-1 to Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par-adise Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Very worried after yesterday, a better group of players like Raith have would have been out of sight within half an hour. If we have a wobbly first 5-10 mins it will be a very nervous away end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Hopefully Pars can bring a good crowd through for this one, get a decent atmosphere going. Edited October 22, 2023 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Expecting a close game after the last two meetings this season, a draw and a 1-0 showed there wasn’t much between the teams over 180 minutes. We’ve had a strong start result wise but I think we’ve ridden our luck in a couple of those games which ran out against Airdrie but there’s also been some good performances too. If Pars are missing Bene that will be a blow to them, DUFC aside luck with injuries will be a big factor for the other 9 teams. Hopefully a decent crowd for this one before the temperatures start to really drop and the clocks change. As the home team we’ll be the bookies choice but I think first goal could dictate this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Difficult to feel confident without any clarity on the availability situation, a bit concerned by the lack of clarity regarding Watson and Hamilton, and equally concerned to see pictures of Easton on crutches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Can’t remember heading in to a game against the Wee Team less arsed and expecting a hiding at the same time. Although it’s always darkest before the dawn, and all that… Still seems a bit too early for Bene unfortunately. Badly need him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Off the scale Falkirk/Cowdenbeath vibes of "you're going to pump is...oh wait, we've won 2-0 against all odds" from the Pars fans. It's a trite point to say but any team can beat another in this league on their day. Really hope we can get some positive news on the injury front over the next few days.
