Job done but a tough watch at times.

As I’ve said before, should we change our system in these ‘park the bus’ games & play 2 up front thro the middle?

We did this in the 55 season to great effect, sucking teams out. If you just go at teams fast when they sit in, it doesn't work, utterly pointless. You have to be really confident at your ability to hold onto the ball and wait for the mistake to come, a wee space to open up, then go quickly.

Aye fair point, if the wins keep coming then who's arsed ha. I still think taking 4 touches and rolling a slow ball back to the centre halves to roll out to a full back to receive it back isn't as effective as one and two touch in the same movement.

 

Fully believe that Beale has us on our way though, we've cracked the away performances and results. Hopefully he can get Ibrox purring with the football soon as well.

Not a great watch, but job done. Good to see Hagi, Ridvan & Souttar get some minutes.

Nothing to write home about but as someone who has been critical of our captain to the point of wanting him dropped, it would be churlish not to observe that Tav had a better day today. Better, for example, than our other fullback, who consistently puts over beautiful crosses that almost never produce any product. 

 

Todd Cantwell continues to impress bigly.

Run of mill victory with not much to write home about. Raith came to spoil the game and were allowed to by Beaton who was his usual self (I.e terrible).

Why?  Our record there is woeful. 

 

Scum at Ibrox hopefully.

Wait? Are the semis not at Hampdump?
