RC55 FFC Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Brough better be nowhere near the starting line up Not convinced Hartley wants to play Robson at LB in a back 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasan McGhee Muirhead Dallison Brough Petravičius Paton Summut Owen-Evans Haber Mackin Subs; Mutch, Robson, Harrison, Irving, Greenwood, Froxylias & Lewis I think it will be sammut on the bench and lewis on the left wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Anyone been to one of these before? If so, what’s the dress code?I’d quite like to attend to support a really good servant to our club at a difficult time.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God help us if we're going to persist in shoehorning players into positions they are not comfortable with, far too much of that nonsense in recent years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeBairn Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm getting the feeling that Brough will be the defensive no pish fullback and Robson will be played more often when we are less concerned about the opposition. Would fully expect home to get more games as the season goes on and the team gels a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Back Post Misses Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I suppose it depends on exactly what Hartley's looking for. I had a wee look at the ages of our first team squad - all are in their twenties apart from Paton, Irving and O' Hara. And Kev will be 20 in less than a fortnight. You're right in that most of our summer recruits don't have a lot of experience though. The players that do come into the "Houston-type journeymen that many fans don't like" category - Kidd at 24, McKee at 25, Aero at 27, and Froxy at 25. I guess decent experienced players might be outwith our wage bracket, which means either bringing in more Tom Taiwos / Paul Watsons / Sean Welshes or spending big money on a Rory Loy. Given that a lack of experience didn't seem to hinder Robson, Nelson or Jakubiak I'm hopeful the same will happen here. As you said, time will tell.Age actually isn't my point. Sibbs had 200 games by the time he was 21. It is the lack of game time in grown up football that is the worry for me. Decent experienced players out with our wage bracket? What happened to the biggest budget since we relegated we were fed back when the ST's went on sale? Anyway we are all speculating. The first 10 games will tell you if this experiment/gamble/plan will work or if it is just a crock of shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, enjoy your season. Quite looking forward to seeing what happens with your team of mongrels, waifs and strays. Should be interesting one way or another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
