renton Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I suppose actual chat about the game tends to become more sparse this late into the season as most sides are by now running in a groove with little to surprise the fans. Even more so that everyone on both sides is shitting bricks. A draw isn't a terrible result for Rovers, assuming we went and won our game in hand. Lose and we are hanging on by our fingernails, lose this and our game in hand and we're done. I'm 90% sure we'll lose, if only because winning this would force me to confront the prospect we might actually win the league, and it's been 14 years since the last time we came up drastically short. My guess is we play similarly to how we've set out since the Ayr game. Less expansive, tighter at the back and tey and hit on the counter. For that reason I suspect it'll be Rudden who starts over Hamilton. We've done well against United this season, in large part I suspect because we've scored first and been happy to contain them. It remains to be seen how pur gameplan and our players wpuld adapt to being a goal down in thesr fixtures. Going in hope, rather than expectation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRyan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Really looking forward to this now as it kick off looms! Wee jaunt up on the train and hopefully grab a few beers on route up the hill. I think it’ll be cagey and I think we’ll sit back at times and try hit on the counter, but also maybe see us have a go as the game goes on. I personally think we have a far stronger bench and better game changers on the bench than United, even more so with the couple of wee injuries they have picked up. Line up prediction: Dabrowski J Brown S Brown Murray Dick Matthews Mullin Stanton Easton Vaughan Rudden Watson could easily start alongside Murray which could push Broony back into the middle of the park. Kids get into any the boozers near or around the ground? Edited - how could I forget super Sam Stanton!

AllanJM Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I'm so buzzing for this game I even resorted to listening to the Courier podcast for their preview. It was actually a lot more balanced than I expected. I'd only listened to it once before and turned off after about 10 minutes because both the the presenter and Jim Spence were doing my nut in. This one was much better (I think it was a different presenter to be fair) and it's always good to get the perspective of the other side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets get behind the boys in Tangerine! It will be good to see. Unfortunately with our track record in front of big home crowds part of me feels I've seen this movie before. It feels like the 2014 cup final, we have the chance to do something, but we understand perform again & let ourselves down. I'll be delighted to be proved wrong though & will be going along hoping we do actually turn up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullin Vaughan Easton Rudden Watson could easily start alongside Murray which could push Broony back into the middle of the park. I just think we’ll be a little more tighter with the 2 holding but wouldn’t be surprised to Murray stick with the 4-1-3-2 either which could see a Turner for example come into the line up. Kids get into any the boozers near or around the ground? Bold dropping Stanton. Nearly every time he's not played, we've dropped points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the only game he hasn't started since returning from injury was away to Arbroath!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 FFS, talking about being slow. I’m pretty new to any kind of social media, and I’ve just twigged that this is one of these attention seekers I’ve heard about Apparently the best thing to do is ignore them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited now and therefore can’t see anything other than the 4-1-3-2! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAITHROVERS84 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I’d start Stanton for Scotland in the Euros. Best player in the team, has to start. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took long enough to get in with 4 last time (and only a few hundred less fans this time). Isn't this going to be an operational issue with operational consequences for the operation of hosting a game of 2nd tier football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the Police who have cut the away fans numbers then I’m sure they will be pleased to know that there is potentially 1300 folk trying to squeeze into two turnstiles. Accident waiting to happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 2 turnstiles and no drums? Is that Police advice too? Absolute tinpot from United. Never known a club to shite it so much in advance of a game... absolutely rattled. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
