Hank von Hell Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 6 hours ago, The Phoenix said: Totally agree but I doubt it's £20k easily kissed goodbye to. It's a classic risk v reward situation for me , and 20K is not a big enough reward if the risk is an injury to one of our "stars" (yes I know) in a very condensed 2nd half of the season where promotion should be the only priority. How much would we lose if not promoted? We are only really an injured Morrison away from that scenario. As has been said , play some fringe players and do not risk the main men.......not this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to lose the game but I'd rather see us test a couple of our new signings and use it to see how Dowds and Keena play together upfront. Hope it makes it an entertaining game, both teams obviously wanting to win but pressure on it isn’t the same due to other higher priorities and the fact no fans in grounds for making big bucks from Celtic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'd play Cantley, Todd, Leitch, Sammon, Dowds, Laverty, Deveney, Francis, Sneddon, Mercer, and Connolly, in an ideal world tomorrow. In any formation I couldn't care about the cup. If M&M risk Keena, Morrison and Mutch then they want chased. Use our "big squad" as our co manager puts it, pity he left out the words talent, devoid, of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use our "big squad" as our co manager puts it, pity he left out the words talent, devoid, of. Like you, I only really care about winning the Forfar game on Saturday. However, like every team in the division on Saturday past, the players need game time to improve fitness and match sharpness in particular.Playing a second string might be useful in letting us see others in action, and avoiding injury to ‘key’ players (if we have any), but it doesn’t solve the ‘lack of sharpness’ issue.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Would like to see us play a lot of fringe players who then show us they are great finds and win us the game at a canter. The dream! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I'd play pretty close to a full team. We need to prove we can compete with Championship clubs Mutch Miller - Hall - Durnan - Dixon Alston - Gomis Fotheringham - Telfer - Morrison Keena However if we get through, sack off the Celtic game and play this lineup at Parkhead Cantley Neilson - McClelland - Durnan - Deveney Leitch - Telfer - Todd - Connolly Sammon - Francis Edited March 23, 2021 by Donathan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Looking forward to the game tonight should get a good idea of where we are really at as a team! Mutch Neilson. Hall. Durnan. Dixon Alston. Gomis morrison. Telfer. Dowds Keena That’s how I’d line up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched Dick Campbell on open goal, he'll most likely play a 4-4-2 as he stated he started with 1 up top this season and he'll never play it again. With that in mind I'd match their 4-4-2 as I don't think Keena's suited to the loan striker role and i'd like to see Dowds and Keena up top together.

I'd like to see Dowds out there I think it’s a role he could play quite well. Those wide positions aren’t really reserved for out and out wingers these days and get tactics right Keena would have plenty of support in and around the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Dowds needs it drilled into him I think that Keena needs to play off him. Since Dowds has came in he hasn't really been that focal target. Hopefully the two of them start tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I'd also put the full/ strongest team out tonight. A couple of changes max (ie rest Gomis) and maybe put Dowds in for Leitch and start Telfer too. Our fixture list really isn't too bad and everyone will be short of match sharpness. Chance to put some more minutes in the legs before our next league game 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I'd stick the two other new boys in tonight otherwise what's the point in having them? The result isn't that important but if these guys are good enough then it's the ideal game to blood them. If probably rest Keena simply because we can't afford him to get injured even though he needs games. I'd start big Lee as he's the only other striker that knows where the net is. Telfer usually plays well in these games so I'd start him. Fotheringham needs games at a decent level so give him another run. The thought of playing without Morrison is criminal but if he got crocked we'd be well and truly fecked. Not sure about gomis playing 3 games a week for the next wee while although he looked very rusty on Saturday and Alston is made of chocolate these days but badly needs games. Mutch Neilson Durnan McClelland Dixon Fotheringham Telfer Todd Alston Dowds Miller Maybe something like that. Wouldn't hold out much of a chance of winning but it would get players matches and prevent injuries to key players on what will be a heavy grass surface.

Reggie Perrin Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Going by that team we are not giving a single f**k about winning this. I agree with this, 100% the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
