Re: The Shed vs Raith
Petrie and Harding both meant to be promising centre backs, imagine they’ll be out on loan next season to get some experience.

Re: The Shed vs Raith
Not much more can be added to Saturday other than it was the performance of a team who felt they were the best, biggest team in the division.
We've seen it few times this season, mostly against Arbroath, but in the odd other game as well.
Watt talks in the paper today of the shackles being removed, we'd be sitting here a lot less stressed if Jim was a bit less rigid in his footballing philosophy.
Play to our strengths not an ideal.

Re: The Shed vs Raith
Watt was the best player on the pitch by a country mile on Saturday, playing more direct suits him and Moult, we have to keep that mindset going.

Yes,but our defence and midfield were posted missing that night and our strikers were shite too. The difference was in the application on Saturday, leaving Tillson and Grieve on the bench also helped

Re: The Shed vs Raith
The key factor in the long ball game being successful on Saturday was that Raith were poor in the air at the back, most teams in this division are not.

Thing is,we don't necessarily have to play long ball stuff ,we just need to be moving the ball forward quicker and pressing teams instead of the tippy tappy shite we've endured too much of. We should still play the way the type of opposition demands. QP will want to win at the weekend so won't really be looking to park the bus,that should give our better players space to exploit hopefully. We already know we can beat them so let's not go into it timidly. Get at the cunts from the off and get the first goal. As has been shown already this season,getting the first goal is vital . Having said that Queens have scored first against us twice this season already and we've come back and won comfortably.

Re: The Shed vs Raith
Bit late with my thoughts but anyway.... see what happens in this league when you don't pass the ball about for no reason at the back and be positive?
I bet Raith expected us to take every goal-kick and free kick short and did their prep all week expecting that style of play from us - and we did the opposite.
