Agreed, chance to progress in a major tournament. Getting out of this group alone is also worth about 50k in prize money which last season allowed another couple of players to be signed after we progressed.

Some might just be knocks . At the end of the day it's the first league game that's important. Don't want to risk players before then if they aren't hundred percent fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller has played left back before so they could interchange and compliment each other going forward and defensively. Miller is also very fast. I’m not convinced by Mackie or Yeats at full back. It’s McGlynn that picks the team though and he clearly see’s Mackie and Yeats as the best pairing tonight. Agree that Mackie over McCann is not a call I like. I'm assuming Miller has just made the bench. Might not even have been there if others were fit.... For me, Mackie or McCann is the only call to be made in the "is that our best team from what's available" debate. So for me, there's absolutely no suggestion whatsoever that it's being treated like a friendly. 3 minutes ago, Shodwall cat said: You aren't going to restrict yourself to 7 subs with the majority youngsters if you have options like Oliver, Allen and Nesbitt etc available surely. Exactly, if for no other reason than to keep the opposition guessing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure he realises that getting through could mean more players. Little chance therefore that he's pissing about giving players breaks.

Shodwall cat Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Would be useful if the twitter feed gave you some info regarding the team selection when published. Such and such miss out through injury that kind of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And FWIW I can't think of ever seeing anything from McGlynn to doubt winning these sorts of games. Potential banana skins like Wick and Darvel were dealt with very efficiently last season. Eta, Spartans obviously better than those, but its a "expect to win it" game nonetheless Edited July 18, 2023 by Bairnardo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 This stream is dreadful! Very jerky, the team appear to be playing well but hard to tell with the awful coverage. Loved the “Spartans Ultras “ comment though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
