Greacen2000 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Solid point and a clean sheet. I will take that all day. A bit scrappy at times and not a lot of quality but I enjoyed it and it was an end to end entertaining game. “Two teams going at it” as Dougie would say. We had the better of them in terms of possession and chances but I would still say a draw was a fair result in the end. I really hope Wilson is ok and Oakley is back soon as back soon as they are both big players for us who we really missed today. I was worried when I saw Mullen was out but Macdonald looked comfortable apart from 1 miskicked clearance. Power was motm for me - the guys a class act and has really proven me wrong as I thought he looked finished earlier on this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumfriesTon Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Decent point and performance. Is that five 0-0s away from home now? Power was the best player on the park. Immense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Someone on Facebook suggesting Oakley may be out for a few weeks - unsure how reliable that is but if true it’s an absolute nightmare for us given how pivotal he is to the way we play. I don’t fault Jai’s effort tonight but it’s just not the same. If there is a good option available, it may be worth a look into securing a loan player albeit we only have 2 days left to do so.

Nornirontons Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) What a player Power is @ this level. Seems to be loving life in blue and white hoops. Reminds me of several experienced centre mids of the McGraw era who he used to utilise a player of that ilke for a few seasons. Never looked troubled @ all defensively for 95% of the 90 mins...and so the run continues!!! Edited February 27 by Nornirontons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been to two games this season due to being overseas, but one of them was at Ibrox and I thought Power showed great positioning there. He clearly couldn't be everywhere he wanted to be but mentally he's invaluable. When you look at Dougie's signings he's got an amazing hit rate. Not all of them work out but by the percentages he clearly can spot what he's looking for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamCam Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 That was as boring a 0-0 game as you could ever wish to see. While Morton arguably shaded it neither team did enough to justify a win. The one positive was we continue our unbeaten run, the downside is a concerning injury list. It looked like MacDonald, Wilson and Quitongo were all not match fit. Thankfully MacDonald had little to do but his mobility was clearly limited, Wilson hobbled off with what looked like a calf injury which could keep him out for some time and Quitongo is miles off the player when he is fully firm. The highlight of the evening was just before kick-off when the Raith bench approached Imrie to shake hands, he was having none of it and pleasantries were exchanged before the officials stepped in. Murray was fuming and the salty tears were a joy to behold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is going to be out for a significant length of time then it would definitely be worth trying to find a replacement on loan til the end of the season as we aren’t the same team without him and are once again starting to look a bit threadbare. I would hope that with Boyd leaving we have freed up a wee bit of extra money that could go towards a wage contribution. Off the top of my head (and just to pluck a probably unrealistic name out of thin air)I would love to see Stevie May come in on loan - he is as close as you could get to a like-for-like replacement for Oakley in terms of his style of play. He seems to have been out of the picture at St Johnstone since Levein came in - I’m just not sure if that’s down to injury or him being out of favour. If it’s the latter then a loan deal til the end of the season could suit both player & club. Edited February 28 by Greacen2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 With no Oakley or Mullen, losing Wilson early while Muirhead was clearly miles off being fit and Quitongo isn't 100% either, that's a very good point. Had the chances to win it but don't think either team could claim to be hard done by with a draw. 1 Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Muirhead was unfit possibly still affected by the bug that meant he missed out on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_M Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The manager added: "I've got to give Jamie a lot of credit. Ryan's come in, had a scan and declared that he's not fit so we were actually scrambling for an emergency loan, which was denied. "Jamie's not even trained since November, he's had a few issues that have been awkward to come back from." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madton Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Think we will struggle to get a decent striker in at this stage. QP and Dunfermline were looking for weeks and eventually QP settled for Cillian Sherdian whilst the Pars got Chris Kane, neither would excite me. Raith did get Rudden but that's because they are shagging Dundee to keep United down. Inverness did manage to get Alex Samuel but that was purely down to Geography. Need to hope the big man is out for days rather than weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I'm just praying it's not broken ribs. I hope someone ends Taylor-Sinclairs career next time we meet and I mean that sincerely because when I see a player deliberately go out to try and injure a fellow pro he completely deserves what's coming to him.

RossMcC1874 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Squad rotation is going to be key the next month or so a lot of players have played a hell of a lot of minutes we dont want them burning out and being out for weeks due to it. You obviously don't want to change a team that is doing so well but it's going to be needed to avoid injuries. If Oakley is out for a few weeks you would think Muirhead would be up top and Garrity on the left, he is the natural option. It's very late in the day to get someone in but you can see how different a team we are without Oakley and that's the one position we are light in.

Tubes Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 If we are pulling names out the sky, I’ll go for Innes Cameron at Killie, not been near their team recently and they’ve got a lot of competition at top end of the pitch. Big physical player if I remember rightly from his time at QOTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work all involved. Rancid wee club who've gotten way above their station of late. Haha. Aye, I was quite please with that. The boy calling me bitter and unprofessional was a belter- I write for a fans’ website because my pal runs it, not for FourFourTwo. Perhaps the Raith fans could look a bit closer to home when seeking examples of unprofessional content being published online. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a bad injury at the end of November that had him out for 8 weeks. He's back now (scored a double for their reserves the other day) and Killie have since added a few attackers (Van Veen can't even get a regular start).

Hands of Cowan Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Raith's penalty claim btw How many angles did they need to show that it was clearly played off the chest. Never saw our keeper troubled at all in those highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
