Re: Scottish 1-2-3 Close Season News & Link Dump
Division Two is going to be wide open and will be a nightmare betting medium. On paper, Ayr should win it because of the players we've got, and we were immense yesterday. But I'm still not convinced about us, especially in defence, and we could be improved drastically with a couple of tactical changes which Neil Watt doesn't want to make at the moment. If he finally makes those changes, we should start flying, but time will tell.
Ross County are an average side. They beat us on the opening day but that was mainly down to how awful we were. County showed very little to impress me and Dick Campbell is a manager who will quickly fall out with his own fans.
Airdrie will be too inconsitent to make a challenge. I can't believe they were beaten by Berwick the other week, because Berwick looked like a pub team yesterday, so that can't say much for Airdrie.
Brechin have made a very slow start and all told they look worse off than last season. Strange considering their all star strikeforce of Russell and Johnston, which will get its fair share of goals, but the rest of the team doesn't look up to scratch and we should have beaten them up there last week and blew it with four minutes to go. They'll come good and most likely reach the play-offs but I don't see them challenging for the title going by what I saw of them.
For me it will come down to Raith and Ayr. Raith's problem is going to be goals though and that much is obvious by their result yesterday. In contrast, we have Michael Moore banging them in (5 in 4 games) and Ryan Stevenson looking like the best midfield player in the league by a million miles. We clicked yesterday and although it was just one result it was really exciting to see.
