It’s staggering how much Matty Todd has rattled an entire football club.

It's bizarre. We even had a poster on here (and the Rovers fans are usually a decent enough bunch) talking about "the cripple" when talking about Todd. Given that most Pars fans are happy to see Lewis Vaughan do well despite the rivalry and his scoring some goals against us, it seemed a bit OTT for a guy who'd only scored a penalty in a bonus point shoot-out in the Premier Sports Cup. Since Todd is nowhere near fit for this game, it's even more tin pot tbh.

Anyway,  think this game will be closer than some think.  We will be playing a midfielder in defence, and in reality we've conceded 4 goals in the last 4 games that you could (maybe harshly) portion a bit of blame to whoever was in there in place of Watson.

For as dissapointing as he's been in front of goal, we miss Hamilton.  He's the first person we've had playing up front in some time who is a genuine ariel and physical threat.  Against Utd in the 2nd half we either tried to pass it out of defence, play it long to nobody or rely on Gullan to hold it up (which isn't his game)

We do however look able to convert possession into chances and goals, and have played some great stuff at times.  However all of our games have been close, and we haven't yet won a league game comfortably.

What’s the craic with Hamilton? Have to admit out of Raith’s signings in the summer he was the one I was quite jealous of.

I can’t justify paying £24 to go to a game in the second tier of Scottish football, regardless of the magnitude of the match. Hopefully those that can make it can enjoy a positive result, but can’t see that happening either.
