Raith Away

Nothing to do with bottle , beaten by a goal out of nothing is not bottling it

100% agree. I'm not getting the bottling part of last night. If we had little possession and were under a lot more pressure then maybe I'd understand the bottling bit but that's not the way the game panned out.

No , it’s not , the criticism I have is not taking chances we had and lack of creativity last 20 /25 mins , yet again it seemed we ran out of ideas how to break them down

Very very unlucky last night but over the course of the season its criminal to take 1 point out of 9 from a very average Raith Rovers side. If we fail to go up this season its the wilderness for years i reckon.

His interview after the match has made me even angrier! We started going route 1 after their second goal which became predictable. We should have been passing it more!

Goodwins assessment was spot on really

We played well, in a entertaining game, I was there and watched it back since, we were by far the better team over the piece, the winner came from nowhere really and wasn't deserved outcome

It will make things interesting atleast and mean more when we win the league

You make your own luck, we had a good 25 minutes second half dominance to put them out of sight and possibly finish them in the title race. But not for the first time the lack of creativity and quality from the attack when it has really mattered has cost us. Their keeper has had two brilliant saves from Middleton and Holt in last kick of match in both games their home games, but he shouldn't really have had a chance. No goals from open play in 3 games against them, and they've been concerning freely against most other teams. Fluffed our lines.

I agree that after the first 25 minutes United were the better team for the rest of the game , but the team that scores the most goals Deserves to win the game

lets talk about that support. i was there last night.The fans were generating lots of atmosphere but as soon as raith scored it all stopped dead. Then the shouting started then we scored and it went back up to supporting again.

We as a support cant handle any sort of aversity in a game, as soon as we concede a goal and misplace a couple of passes fans loose their minds. its quite incredible

I was also there, our support created most of the atmosphere and stuck with the team the whole game.
It went quieter when they scored early and the usual slow, laboured buildup in such a big game was pissing people off. Struggle to see how that's abnormal to any other support of a club that's meant to be pushing for a league title. Certainly don't agree that folk were losing their minds.
United are very fortunate to still have such a strong backing when they have let them down countless times.

I was assuming he was including the goal difference factor.

As did I. Couldn't resist being a pedantic w*nk though. 😂

Yet another failure against one of the teams closest to us in the league. We had a whole season of that last year. In the so called six-pointers, twice against Kilmarnock, twice against Ross County, twice against St Johnstone - lost every time, some of them by embarrassing score lines. Now, different manager, different squad, same outcome - limp, soft rubbish. And our closest rivals prevail at our expense.

If we had shown up and done the business against Rovers this season, we'd have 9 points more than we have now, and they'd have 7 less. That's a 16 point difference - that's the league done and dusted right there. If they get promoted ahead of us then they will deserve it for their superiority in the head to head games.

The commentators were saying how we had controlled and dominated the second half. That's right - we had. But how many saves did their keeper have to make. We have all the possession but do hardly anything with it. One of their midfielders actually has the vision to hit a shot from distance and BOOM - we lose.

Support was excellent last night

Just wish they would back Utd more after defeats, always go into blame mode or angry mode after a defeat, dissect and criticise

I don't think Goodwin or the team did much wrong last night (apart from taking chances) on a crap pitch, better side, the wonder goal changes everything of course but the team don't really deserve slaughtered or the manager after that performance imo

There isn't the supportive, hard lines type response which is more appropriate after a game like that where, that what support should be, we are in a battle we need everyone on side, save criticism for our we don't come out on top by may 3rd, for now be United
