TxRover Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 4 hours ago, SerieA said: Interesting to see what team Murray decides to play on Friday. Does Masson come in? I’d like to see Brown back in midfield but not sure if that’s an option with Murray out. Can see Connolly taking a seat on the bench-he’s racked up minutes in the last few weeks. Thought Hamilton and Gullan (a couple of drives forward down the left were brilliant) changed the game on Saturday. Can see one of them getting a start for Smith who has racked up the minutes this season. Looking forward to it. I think Dick has to be moved to CB. Masson at the other CB would allow Byrne and Brown at deep lying mid to support them. Millen at RB, and I guess McGill at LB (I’d prefer Hannah, but with Masson in the middle, seems unlikely). That allows Stanton as a 10, Easton and Mullin wide and Hamilton up top, if fit…if he needs eased in, Vaughan to start as the 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I would not risk anyone carrying any kind of knock for this cup game. I'd be happy to lose so long as it isn't a doing. We are still in the Scottish Cup and our main aim is the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone is fit I don't think Brown makes it into our best 11 anymore. Seems mad saying that but I think Byrne is better and the times we've played Brown and Byrne together we've not been great. Brown still our best CM for me. Could drop/rest Byrne or play the 2 to give the defence a bit more protection if Masson/McGill/Hannah were to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 So a good bit into the season now and Raith flying but how do you guys feel the Village idiots are doing for your club ?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Brown first name on the teamsheet for me... well him and Stanton. With 2 fit centre halves, he moves into midfield alongside Byrne and Stanton moves up to the number 10 role. Beyond that Murray can pick any starters and finishers he wants across the front 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at school with his son Dean and his wife Diane took the Tuesday night Cubs in Dunnikier. Very sad news. Knew Dean well but I'm same age as Karen, still chat to her often, my mum worked with Diane. I know Gordon had been in poor health for some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk v Dundee United is the TV game.

Heid_The_Baw Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The League is what its all about for me this season. Use the cup ties to rest our main squad. League points are definitely more valuable than the diddy cup, and even the Scottish Cup game against THEM. Would happily exit both tourneys to concentrate on the league. We need to at least match what Utd are doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes give Gullan, Easton and Hamilton a run, put Thomson in goals but it looks like Masson and McGill may have to start anyway as we have no cover in defence. I would love to see Corr, Matthews and Watson return but very unlikely all 3 will be anywhere near ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Another who will watch Dunfermline game on TV, gave my laddie the option of Hampden for QP game or Dunfermline game. He plumped for Hampden, probably a good decision. In other news Hamilton have acknowledged the cost to fans as they have two upcoming cup games at home, us and Kelty. They've reduced their prices to £5 for everyone.....for Kelty game, not ours. They also briefly advertised our game as free entry for under 16's but have decided to scrap that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always next quarter Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) There is a theme of understandably trying to get every penny for club investment. However opps like the Challenge cup and derby 4 of 6 on TV have me a bit ill at ease with the balance tipping towards screwing every penny that can be got from fans. The challenge cup especially is just silly and will surely bite the crowd size £16 and £6 under 18s for Falkirk v United is the tipping point. Maybe I'm just annoyed at not being able to afford to attend. Swithering over the Pars game, would probably push the £20 but the TV game makes it hugely tempting to just go to the Novar.
