Kirkcaldybanjo Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Rovers wont be lumping balls up the pitch on Sunday. Back to what were good at playing on the deck.I fully expect us to score at least two goals not sure if we can keep county down to one though. Game on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgb61 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I'd start Hamilton & Rudden, Dick, Murray & Corr as back 3, Matthews, Brown, Stanton, Byrne & Easton (if fit) in the middle. Stifle Dhanda and you cut the supply to Murray. Rudden & Hamilton are much more physical presences than Vaughan (found his level Thursday night, much work to do) who could come on late to give them the run around. We need to play to our strengths and go up there with no pressure and enjoy the match 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan found his level being in a position he has rarely played since the days of Barry Smith in l1? Can I have some of what you're on please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Disappointed in our performance last night which was up there with one of our poorest all season but thought IM got his team selection and tactics wrong and not for the first time this season When we play the ball on the deck we,re a good side,when we lump high aimless balls back to front we,re not. Credit to County though,played some neat,tidy football although we allowed them to an extent,better than any team we have faced in the Championship this season so not too despondent Only half time but need to improve on last night and if we get the 1st goal on Sunday you never know if they get it,curtains No matter,we,ve had a great season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) A lot of fans from both sides downplaying our chances in the 2nd leg. A dangerous game. I'd understand it if County coasted to a 2 nil win but they were on their knees by the end. Anyway, it'll all come out in the wash on Sunday.

1GregStewart Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Ross county looked a fair bit better football team than Raith, sad but true.The gap is obviously large between the divisions. Raith also looked a bit negatively set up in my opinion. Home team should have been having a go, mountain to climb now, 1 that I can’t see them climbing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggie52 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 While I think County will do it with a stronger team than Raith, I’m also sure that this County squad also have shown how they can give away goals and crumble under pressure. IF we replace White with Sims I feel we could blow Raith away early on, but I won’t be going to the game confident of staying up, fingers will be tightly crossed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 We will 100% let one in. We're far too brittle and Raith have too much firepower to not score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the final ten minutes no doubt. Our inability to close out games is going to be our downfall at some point. It just depends if we’ve scored before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bring Vaughan on 2nd half after Rudden & Hamilton have run County ragged at the back and they can at least compete with their mahoosive CBs, and we do need to play to our strengths, humping long balls up to Vaughan or Hamilton on his own is not that. We still need to stifle that midfield though or they will run all over us like Thursday, we were chasing shadows. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain on Sunday, no point doing the same old stuff. p.s. you don't want to be on what I'm on Edited May 25 by lgb61 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been rotten all season. Hamilton is merely a poacher, not a ball player. The megre scraps he gets never come off.

Stardog_champion Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The truth is County will contain us and tighten up at the back and hang on. QoS did that quite easily when we played them in a play off. Just hope we keep the ball on the deck and limit the obvious clearances if we lump it forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 If Raith don’t start with a team broadly similar to the XI that finished on Thursday, I rather fear for them. Hamilton isn’t going to trouble the County back three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve got plenty of attacking threat to play their own game without resorting to parking the bus. Also, we love conceding late goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can beat a man and has plenty ability. you haven’t a clue as usual! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
