At the 1/2 way stage last season Raith had 41 points. Dundee Utd won it with 75. Do i think we will win it ? No. Do I think the season is a write off - No. We can still get close to 70 points and that puts pressure on the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season is not a write off simply because of the amount of money on offer per league position- thanks to our appalling run in the cups we need all the money we can get and need to finish up the table as high as we can whether we will do so is debatable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it was a Write Off - as there is Cash from the Play Offs League Position etc But the best we are looking at is most likely 3rd - anything beyond that is fanciful And the longer term impact of of not being promoted is something that should be starting to be planned for now - not at the end of the Season If by some miracle we got promoted then any changes made based on being in the Championship are easily reversed - but to not Plan for the most likely outcome is simple insanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something changes we won’t get promoted. This 100%. Anybody that thinks we are playing well enough to get promoted is delusional. Something has to change.

They're often quite good at that. For those in attendance, was that the case? At Cappielow, I would say that this is usually the case. However, for once, I would say it was the opposite. In the first half especially, there was only one team trying to play football. We continually played long, hopeful, balls and it simply didn't work. We only started playing after we scored and, after that, we were the better team. Probably didn't deserve to lose the match in the end. I don't actually think we played any worse than we have been. As @javeajag suggested on earlier post, you can't keep playing so badly and getting away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
