We could have wrote down on paper how this match would be played seeing it so many times this season. This was another obvious example. Slow start, defence sleeping and despite having blue jerseys all around him , the Raith player found his own space and nodded in, unhindered. The second part of the script was that we would give it a real go in the second half shooting into the traditional home end . This we did and I am pleased tonight despite the defeat that we put plenty pressure on them . Tapping could have had us ahead and their keeper brought off a brilliant save from a Hilson header after Lyle jinked in a lovely cross . A home defeat but far preferable to going down with a whimper.

The pre match warm up looks intense enough but is that the problem being just too energetic leaving players weary at the start? I also think that Fowler's constant tinkering with the setup in simply unsettling for the players as we have hardly started with the same team for two consecutive games. Secondly we have too many players out of position and looking bemused at the start of games.The defence has been caught sleeping too frequently all season conceding soft goals putting the team on the back foot to often. We then slowly make our way back into the game sometimes getting a goal only to lose a goal with yet another soft counterpunch. Changes are made to personnel and team structure resulting in chances being created mostly scorned some converted. The common deno
