RAITHROVERS84 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 So fairly obvious with Byrne not being allowed to play (feckin shite Dundee) then Brown will fill that position with Corr and new guy coming in. Or one of them with Dick in the middle with McGill on the left. We’ll be more vulnerable this Friday at the back vs any other time this season. As I’ve said I’m seeing a goal fest. A case of who can outscore the other. Pars 2-3 Rovers, we like that scoreline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Lovely...that's almost certainly gonna be a 4-1-3-2: Big Kev and Thomson at Keeper/bench Millen/Brown/O'Reilly/Dick with Corr able to spell O'Reilly and Hannah on the bench (possibly with Masson...but do we hold him to get him ready for RB against ICT?) Stanton deep, with two of Mullin/Easton/Connolly wide and one on the bench Then two of Hamilton, Gullan, Vaughan and Smith up top with the other two on the bench O'Reilly is primarily left footed, so I doubt we'll see an O'Reilly/Dick CB pairing, but if IM really wants Brown at Dm because Byrne is out, it's possible. If Corr was up to fitness, I'd say with Byrne out he'd play at CB with O'Reilly, and Brown would be at DM. Looks like Stanton will be lying deep again...not ideal for opportunities, but it's worked before. Now, if IM wants to get creative, Connolly playing deep with Stanton in a 4-2-3-1 is possible, as he's even played LB before... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think we will go with Corr and O'Reilly as the pairing. This allows Brown to return to his natural position as a straight replacement for Byrne. We need Hamilton up top supported by Vaughan, Stanton, Connolly and Smith or Gullan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 It’s fact that Dundee are not allowing Byrne to play (confirmed by Murray in the pre-match interview with Raith TV). Almost certainly internet pish that McPake had any influence on that decision but I guess you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This allows Brown to return to his natural position as a straight replacement for Byrne. We need Hamilton up top supported by Vaughan, Stanton, Connolly and Smith or Gullan. I don’t think Corr is ready and able to play the full 90. He only returned to practice fully AFTER the Accies game and his cameo. Also, pairing a returning young player with a new teammate is not a good plan. Much as I’d like Brown in the middle to cover Byrnes absence, it’s more important to play him at CB. If Masson is healthy, he’s more likely to start than Corr, and I don’t think IM would do that either. O’Reilly needs a veteran player teamed with him because he new to the team/players, and Dick and O’Reilly both prefer LCB, hence are an unlikely pair too. Now, there is something I hadn’t considered…Millen has, on occasion, played at CB. If Millen played at RCB, with O’Reilly at LCB and Dick at LB, then we possibly have Masson or McGill at RB…or perhaps even Mullin, who has played at RB a few times (and once at LB). That gives O’Reilly stability and experience for his introduction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the O'Reilly signing. 100% correct. I doubt we'll let Andy McNeill play in the cup for Edinburgh City on Saturday for the same reason. And I doubt we'll let Kieran Mitchell play for East Fi..... Oh wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Whilst the McPake begging Dundee to cup tie Byrne is most definitely made up internet pish, it's still a narrative I quite enjoy. We're definitely there to be got at on Friday. A new and inexperienced centre half pairing will definitely struggle and the Pars have seen a return of a couple of key players recently so it could be a tough night for our boys. Pressure is what makes diamonds though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Copied from the Queen's Park thread. Great point about corners to be remembered next time the auld guard whine about it not being pumped into the box randomly to short people. Still wish we could defend them better though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
