Lafferty’s first half performance there was disgraceful. Doesn’t look arsed, first touch is dreadful. Same shite as last season

He ISN'T interested in these games. Be better off playing someone else.

Shut up, you’re talking shite. 

 

Doesn't look a bombscare. But I don't think Doyle will have any problems taking the no 1 shirt

Not a great first half, we weren't exactly going for it. Lafferty looks rusty and frustrated about it, but he's working hard. Levein didn't look best pleased.

Oh right 

 

Will we only bother playing for 45 mins this season then 

Maybe we can sell half price tickets.

No need for 3 centre halfs in games like this and burns anonymous in that position. Put Lee in where burns is and edwards on.

 

Lafferty honking. Glad we have atriking options.

 

Boot up arse time.

We looked much better balanced with Morrison on the right , Mulraney on the left on Wednesday than we do with Smith and Mulraney. Pitch is horrendous , but we look like we want to walk it in , Wed we were happy to pepper the goal any chance we got. There was a passage of play there that Laff and Naismith both could of shot n looked for a pass the Naismith chipped it over for a runner who wasn’t running. Summed up the first half i think.

Pretty much spot on sadj.

Pitch is shite but no excuse. No urgency, no fluency. Disappointing.

These pitches are a disgrace.

5th and LC group exit that saw Cathro sacked.

 

Levein staring down the barrel of 6th and LC group stage exit.

 

Interesting. Is it the manager or has the club lost the desire to win? Or more likely, an unfortunate coincidence.

 

Plenty time left to turn things around today though. Hoping for some hair dryer treatment at half time and goals galore second half. We need them.

Worried.

 

Surely we're not about to make a even worse start to the season.

Anything I say isn't popular or right on here apparently but it's an opinion at the end of the day and hard truths. 

 

Surely it cant be an opinion and a truth. Thats essentially saying its an opinion and a fact.

 

just as Zlamal is a bombscare is your opinion not others on here.

Piss poor absolute dross

this sums it up perfectly, disappointed in Lee so far, he's done nothing, Bozanic started quite well but seems to have fallen out of it now

My thoughts exactly 

I think if we can get Mulraney in behind by hitting over the top a bit more we could get some joy. Bozanic looks like he can play that type of pass. Very disappointed in Lee and Lafferty so far. 

Also we have not even tried to get down the right yet Smith has hardly touched the ball.

I'll clarify, that meant to say some are opinions and some are truths.

Hard to put into words just how bad a half of football that was. My optimism for the new season is already vanishing. I see next to nothing to suggest the squad is any better than last season. Watching this today thinking our Championship winning team would wipe the floor with this current side. Let’s hope I’m just being too pessimistic. Given how precarious our poisition could be after Monday it is bizarre we haven’t come out all guns blazing today.

If he wasn’t so aware of the danger around him, we’d be losing right now. 

 

People saying he’s a bombscare despite gifting Raith absolutely nothing.

We don’t look sharp or fit enough and none of the new guys apart from Mulraney whos Final ball is generally garbage look like they are bringing anything to the table at all.  Passing the ball back and forward to each other then switching plays across the past got sussed very quickly from Raith and they look the more dangerous.

 

Still 45 to go and still effectively pre/season and they tired against Cowdenbeath so let’s hope the same.  Has Vaughan left Raith also? Expected to see him today.

I think the slow pitch is not helping us to be honest.

Its not. 3 times our keeper has come for the ball and its stopped well short. 3rd time nearly too late getting there.

Reminded me a bit of us under Cathro in that first half. 

 

Plenty of the ball, playing 'nice' football and not really going anywhere. 

I never saw much in the way of nice football.

Missed 3 sitters against Cove and 1 today against Raith. Needs some competition for his place. Should be burying those chances.

I think the opposite.  Frustrated at the shite being passed up to him and having to come deep.

The hyperbole about that half of football is hilarious. Raith are lucky to still be in this. Lucky bounces and deflections have kept us out.

Gutted to hear how poor we’ve been.

 

With this many new players though, it looks like it’s going to take quite a bit of time for them to click.

The pitch is honking which is ruining the game.

 

Hearts don't look that up for it which isn't surprising as we await Monday's decision (which should have been done on Friday!).

Because he came out and cleared a couple of balls the defence ignored?

 

Right then.

You'd expect him to have a good game v Raith. We have dominated and they haven't caused us many problems but in the league v a Celtic, or Hibs I'm not sure..

Are you fishing PD? Raith have had the best chance.

been here before

Best thing about the first half is the veiw over to the East Neuk from the back of the stand.

 

The most exciting thing was a couple kf fire engines blue lighting along Levens main road.

Anything down the right and we just get snuffed out. Centre of the park saturated so it’s Mulraney or bust at the moment.

 

Lafferty doesn’t look fit. Overall pace across team is a concern.

Agree with this I think his handling has been good and he has made a great challenge he had to make or he was off.

Why is Zlamal punting it every time?

 

When he doesn’t he passes to Soapy who, then, punts it.
