A rare goal for Andy Shinnie tonight for Charlton.
-
I think we deserved the win. We were well on top for most of the first half, both before and after the red card. We were unlucky not to be ahead from Devine’s header and Mackay’s shot. Raith started the second half strongly and our goal was against the run of play, but we deserved it. Good finish by Mackay after Raith messed up dealing with a long kick out by Ridgers. We then had to defend in the main and came under a fair deal of pressure, but between Ridgers and poor finishing we came through unscathed and had a few chances on the break. Deas was the top player for me, particularly in the first half, whilst Welsh bossed the midfield in the first half. We cannot question the effort or commitment of any of them. Carson neutralised Kennedy again whilst Devine handled Ugwu well. I hope Welsh and Keatings are ok after the knocks they took. We now need to build on this. We looked confident in the first half and need to repeat that at Dunfermline on Saturday. If we can, maybe we can look up the table again rather than looking down it!

I wish every game was against Raith! Good first half, poor second half as we let Raith back in it, but the win is all that counts at this stage of the season. Incredible we are within three points of two play offs!
-
McHattie on for Keatings after he took a knock. As things stand, we are three points off the play offs: at both ends of the table! How crazy is this league!
-
Keatings on for Welsh! Welsh picked up a heavy knock a few minutes ago. The way this is going, we will do well if we see out the last 12 minutes or so!
-
This game’s not won. Raith having too much of the play and looking dangerous at times.
-
Allardice booked. Should have been Toddy as he fouled the Raith guy first!
-
Raith taking Kennedy off. Not seen much of him again tonight. Credit Carson again.
-
Storey on for Sutherland.
-
Agreed. Raith are starting to create chances.
-
Ayr 2 up at Dundee. We need to concentrate here and build up the first 50 minutes which have been pretty good. Suddenly Raith no longer time wasting!
-
Goal: 1 up. Great cool finish after Raith messed up dealing with long kick out by Ridgers.
-
We’ve hardly touched the ball in this half so far. Raith have come out flying.
-
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.
-
Great play by Welsh and MacGregor there to set Toddy (I think) up but saved by ‘keeper.
-
Hope Ridgers ok to continue after taking a sore one there.
-
Ayr 1 up on Dundee.
-
Bossing it so far. Need to get a goal whilst on top. Raith Rovers time wasting already.
-
What was Welsh booked for? Something in the afters after the challenge on Toddy?
-
Raith down to 10. But of brutality on Toddy. Hopefully we do better than we did when Morton went down to 10.
-
We’ve made a faster start than Friday and have hit the woodwork already!
-
Definitely, and also important we avoid defeat.
-
Yes, no replays this season.

There is a livestream next Tuesday for the cup game: https://ictfc.com/fixture-info-buckie-thistle-a

To those critical of MacGregor, look at the skill before he passed to Carson to set up Welsh’s header off the bar. Give the kid a break!
