It doesn't really matter how it's done does it? Ends justify the means...
Raith are getting plenty of late wins simply because they have the front players in depth to bring that about. On the other hand we are often reduced to bringing on nursery players in the hope they'll turn things around (especially in cup games). If United put out their best eleven and play the way they did in our resounding victories earlier in the season, it should be no contest, but these performances are far from guaranteed. For the most part we can thank our defending whilst Raith can thank their attacking ability. Saturday's game is going to be very interesting.
I think we are due a good performance from our team. I feel we may get one too, as the players know this is a big one and it looks like the teams will be coming out to a good sized support and atmosphere (with Raith bringing along a fair few by all accounts). I think our boys will rise to the occasion.
Either that, or Raith rip us apart and it feels like a death in the family.
Agree in a way, they have more similar quality attackers, Vaughan and Mullin will start well didn't start last night but still

"With a game more played for them"
So still in our hands and not theirs unless they win on Saturday, pts per game still better from us, again unless they win on Sat then it would fit the first time be in their hands
Stats pulled straight off spfl official site btw, why does it bother you? you really are negative aren't you? You seem bothered that we have the better attack and defence?
Like I say will Kevin keegan style love it if we beat them, might shut up some of our own with their fawning over a team that imo have not had a better league season than us
