Always next quarter Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I think it will be Brown in midfield and Corr/new lad. Would probably prefer the option of Brown remaining with Oreilly and Stanton/Easton central. That aside fair play to the club for trying to drum up interest with what seems like constant emails. I'm just completely Meh about the fixture. Pub it is and in figuring out why I'm not that excited its either the 4th derby of 6 that doesnt inspire, ticket price isnt great but on reflection not crazy or because we're facing big league based opps. Disappointed about the away strips as it's a missed opp. Doesnt sound like the clubs fault but christmas kits need to be sent to santa as a "pre-order" voucher doesn't cut it. Expect to end up in JD sports Hell giving into PSG type guff instead. Have Rovers ever done Christmas jumpers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I’m surprised at how many people think we will start with Corr and O’reilly at the back. I’d put money on it being Brown and not Corr at the back. I think Stanton will drop deeper and McGill might possibly come back into the midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more surprised at the omission of Masson vice Corr…yes, he’s questionable for the match with that head knock, but it’s an open question which of the two is better right now, Edited November 24, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corr all day long even from the few games I have saw. He’s more threatening and demanding. Can hold the ball and has some killer passes. My reasoning for this is brown was injured when he played and he had no natural CM infront of him. I think he would be good for the laddie masson looks ver nervous every game. Will be interesting to see O’Reilly as my fist comment stands about why he’s not had. Club before now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 4 hours ago, mrraith71 said: If o’reilly was a decent player why has he not had a club before now? He’s not played for 6 months. Quite concerning Because the Irish season contracts seem to run Jan 1-Dec 31? He was out of contract with the Accies in Jun, so at least half the Irish season was complete when he became free. Take another month or two off to rest and see if there are any offers and it’s then game day 26 or 27 in Ireland and Scottish fitba has started again, and you’re a free player who can be signed by anyone. Then it comes down to 1) was he being picky about only signing a full time offer and 2) what full time squad needed a CB enough to sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people (me included) thinks this is the best time to get a game because let’s be real when Murray and Byrne returns Murray will slot into CH next to O’Reilly and Brown will go back into midfield and if he doesn’t play tonight when is the next time is he realistically gonna play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra players, coaches etc all cost money and that has to come from somewhere. Even through the community foundation, its unlikely that its coached at a level that would allow a natural progression. My nephew is in one of the younger years and the lack of proper training and technical work is years behind where it probably should be for something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Well, that was a surprise. Rumour mill suggests a possible knee worry for Dick? It would explain the rush to get O’Reilly even more, but does anyone know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
