SirJimmyofNic Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Fully expect Arbroath to park the bus and try hard not to lose, if we stop having this 10-15 min hiatus in the 2nd half we'll be fine, I think Hamilton will do the business for us though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLichtie86 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 With our depleted squad and overall lack of quality we probably need to approach this game in a cautious manner. We simply dont have the players to play a conventional 4-4-2 and are far too exposed in any other attacking setup. Quite simply a 4-5-1 is most likely what we need at the moment. dig in deep and hit on the counter. Gaston Norey, Steele, ToB and Hamilton Stewart , Gold, Lyon, Slater, Hylton McIntosh just scraping together a team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see Easton playing more cental, see what he does. Given all three of those Backs prefer to play to the left, quite a shout. I’d like to see Stanton get the day off, simply because he’s been in forever and DU on Saturday. Mullin is one of the best players for delivering balls, you underrate his impact, but I’m OK putting Connolly there. Easton seems much better on the edges, but OK, let’s put him in Stanton’s role? Millen/Corr/O’Reilly/Dick Brown/Byrne Connolly/Easton/Gullan Hamilton Plan to put Matthews in for Brown after the half, to ease Brown back and ease Matthews back in. Smith and Mullin in for Connolly and Gullan later in the second half. IF we can, Masson and Hannah for a spell too. Let Vaughan have a go for Hamilton as well late. No Murray, I want him rested and healed as an option for the weekend. Edited December 12, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumper crowd of 256. Has to be the lowest 2nd tier league attendance you'd imagine. I was fucking one of them. Grim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerieA Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Can never predict who is going to be available for Raith and what Murray is going to do. Expect Euan Murray to miss out. Kev Millen O’Reilly Dick Brown Byrne Connolly Stanton Easton Smith Hamilton is my guess for the team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 We should all know by now none of us are getting it right! I’ll give it a shot anyway though: Dabrowski Millen Brown O’Reilly Dick Byrne Connolly Stanton Smith Gullan Hamilton 4 changes from Friday (one enforced as I don’t see Euan Murray being 100% fit) but still looks a strong side whilst also spreading some minutes around the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I know. I have a feeling the team will be Dabrowski Millen, O'Reilly, Brown, Dick Mullin, Stanton, Byrne, Easton Vaughan Hamilton. Still say we keep winning games when we go 3-5-2. Much better with 3 in midfield. Proved it against Dunfermline as well. Look much more compact and allows Stanton more room to get forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate being overly confident with the Rovers, but this team are made of different stuff. One of the 256 over here. Miserable indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I'd go for something along these lines: ---------Dabrowski-------- Millen - Brown - O'Reilly - Dick ----------- Byrne ---------- Connolly -- Stanton -- Smith- ---- Hamilton --- Gullan ---- Possibly overly attacking on paper, but we know Connolly and Smith can be trusted to do their defensive work when required. All going well, plan would be to bring Hamilton off as early as possible to rest for Saturday, and Matthews on for Stanton to get some minutes under his belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantene proV Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Don't know why people are dropping Josh Mullin (unless to rest him for United), he's one of the managers' first picks and with good reason - he's been excellent for us. The best delivery of a ball we've had in the team for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's outside the blocking time so they may announce a PPV tomorrow. If not are Raith TV being allowed an audio sream? Think Arbroath were the only team to refuse this last season as they were selling audio coverage themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
