    Raith Rovers -V- Inverness CT - Tuesday - Preview

    It's only half time!

     

    The second phase of the double header is at Stark's Park Kirkaldy as Inverness head South on Tuesday night for a 7:00pm kick-off. Part one ended all square in an enthralling no scoring draw at the Caledonian Stadium last Friday night in front of the BBC cameras and a covid restricted crowd of 000.

    Friday's game saw Neil McCann struggle to get a squad together with injuries denying him three or four first choices. Regulars Cammy Harper, Aaron Doran, James Vincent and Miles Storey all missed out which left us down to the bare bones with three youngsters, the departing James Keatings, knackered Wallace Duffy and crocked Kev McHattie our only outfield choices. That'll be one of the reasons we made no subs in this game. Here's hoping we get a couple of our missing bodies back into contention for a start soon.

    Despite our skeleton squad, we warmed to the task midway through the first half and by the end of the game we gave as good as we got. It could have been a high scoring draw but for various reasons it ended 0-0, not for the want of trying from both sides. Closest to a goal for the hosts were captain Sean Welsh who headed onto the post and Roddy MacGregor who drove the ball into the ruck of bodies lying on the grass on the goal line. He should really have scored, after all it was only two yards out. Raith missed opportunities from Ugwu and Mendosa amongst others in a flying start and before the end both keepers made excellent saves. Overall a point each gives no complaints from me.

    Since then Neil McCann has added Billy Dodds to his coaching staff to help get the best out of the players at his disposal. Interesting, let's see how that goes. Read about it here

    ***Latest Team News***

    We were hit with some unannounced call-offs for last Friday's game as McCann was keeping his injury problems close to his chest. Missing for a couple of games now have been Miles Storey, Cameron Harper, James Vincent and the recently returned Aaron Doran. Wallace Duffy was given the night off as well and that all left us a bit thin on the ground. Kevin McHattie is clearly not fully fit and Lewis Toshney featured once on the bench but has since disappeared.:shrug:

    OFFICIAL PREVIEW

    John McGlynn has a simpler task of naming his squad, in fact he has the luxury of picking and choosing who he plays and who goes on the bench and who to leave out altogether, whereas our hands are tied. Ugwu or Duku, ..........

    Here's a reminder of the teams from Friday night:

    • ICT:  Ridgers; B Mckay, Devine, Deas, Allardice, MacGregor, Carson, Allardice, D Mackay,
    • Sutherland, Todorov
    • Subs (not used):  C Mackay; Hyde, Nicholson, Harkness, Duffy, Keatings, McHattie, 
    •  
    • Raith:  J MacDonald; Tumilty, Benedictus, Hendry, K MacDonald, Kennedy, Tait, Musonda,
    • Ugwu (Duku 85), King (Armstrong 66) Gullan (Mathews 66)
    • Subs (not used): Thomson; Davidson, Abraham, Spencer

     

    The Wyness Shufflers have produced another gem... :clapoverhead:

    Could be a game for the respective goalkeepers to have a big say in as i cannot see this one finishing 0-0. Every game from now a cup final and all that. Certainly feel we are capable of a result and hope to see it. Feel the fear and do it anyway. 💥

    It's been all us so far in the first 10mins.

    Bossing it so far. Need to get a goal whilst on top.

    Raith Rovers time wasting already.

    Pretty confident performance. Mainly on top, even before the red card, but few clear chances created.

    Welsh is pulling the strings in midfield, which is good to see. Deas has been the pick for me, supporting Mackay down the left. A few moments from MacGregor and Toddy. Allardice and Sutherland have been quieter. Defence not really challenged.

    We need to continue this level of performance in the second half and hopefully get in front and win.
