Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Although we didn't play anywhere near the level we're capable of at the weekend, we still should have won the game comfortably. We're now seriously due a win. Not sure if nando gets the start. Think GMS has been so poor and in need of being dropped. McEneff looked really promising and should definitely keep his place. I wouldn't be against 3-5-2 which has been spoken about by a few in the media this week, so here goes: Boyce Kastaneer Walker Halliday McEneff Kingsley Smith Halkett Haring Popescu Gordon Quote

wavydavy Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 1 hour ago, Smith's right boot said: 4/4 in March will see us all but promoted imo. It is a difficult one to call with our current form. I did a quick calculation of the main challengers and in the unlikely event that Dunfermline and Raith both won every game left then the maximum number of points they could get is 60. Dundee's maximum if they won all their games would be 59 points. The surprise though because they have had so many games cancelled is ICT as they could get 69 points. It is highly unlikely that any team including us will win every game left but we have 10 games left which if we were to win them all would give us a points total of 68. But we all know that this league is full of surprises and you never know who is going to spring a defeat on who. We really need to be winning against ICT and Dundee to give ourselves the best chance to wrap the league up asap. Quote

Sorry I just realised my mistake although I was looking at the table on the HMFC website which shows they have played 13 games. With 14 to go they would have been able to get a max of 59 rather than my 69. I take it they played this week and drew? Quote

TexasAndy Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Can't see anything other than a hard game on Friday. Yet another team sitting in and hitting us on break. The key to these games is getting first goal. Maybe not a bad thing that our expectations aren't too high after recent performances. 1-1, which ultimately wouldn't be a disaster. Quote

1953 Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Any more dropped points and we ain't running away with this league so Robbie must do something to get us back to the Raith Rovers away performance. Any win will do for me but I'm not holding my breath. Quote

One five Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 ICT will not sit back they need to start winning there home games to give themselves a chance of the playoffs, that should open the game up so that should suit us, They have just come off from a tough game last night so they may tire in the second half. but then again 🤷♂️ Quote

You are excatly correct they have played two games on Saturday then Tuesday and had a long lay-off prior to that with the bad weather. They will hardly be fully match fit so we should be stretching them as much as possibel and tiring them out. We can always live in hope. Quote

We knocked the ball about well, but let's not kid on that RR were even attempting to make a game of it Agree re any more dropped points. Slides are hard to stop. A solid win here, by two clear goals, and the confidence comes back. Were we already 2 up by the time he got sent off? Quote

Jim Panzee Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 sadly, as per my prediction v morton, another turgid 1-0 win or 1-1 draw. I base this sadly on recent performances and not the calibre of players on both sides. at the moment, it feels like Robbie is building a team of stars. Time to build a star team instead. Quote

Thomaso Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 7 hours ago, wavydavy said: It doesn't happen very often mainly because our strikers are dropping deep to try and get the ball and the wingers are incapapable of going beyond a full back and putting in a telling cross. The service the wingers get certainly doesn't help when they receive the ball when they are facing thwe wrong way with a defender right at their back. Maybe if we tried putting the ball behind defenders for the wingers to run onto or playing quick one two's we might get somewhere. Totally agree Dave - we will never get the best out of big Gnando of he gets shit service. Quote
