I just have a feeling though that - given we're playing a 1st division club - Glass might decide to rotate the squad again. I just wish that we had a few strikers to rotate.

We are just going through that strange period where we have a mix of overplayed and underplayed players, and the rumours of some going out and others coming in - with this ~£5M pot of gold being dangled in front of us, meaning Europe probably has to be #1 priority right now. It's got to be. Assuming you get through Thursday, I think you've got to put everything into the playoff ties, even if that means essentially fielding "B" squads against Hearts and RC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to start seeing if our young strikers can step up. This is the ideal time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I think the Raith game should be used for more squad rotation and deprioritised - just too much at stake in Europe financially to risk losing key players for the tertiary domestic tournament. Kirkcaldy will be the third plastic pitch we have played on, when we thought we were only seeing one of them all season (would have been four if the game in Iceland hadn't been moved). Ideally we would have signings in now to bolster the squad - but almost certain that anything that's going to happen will probably be in the last day or two of the month - inwards and outwards - hopefully on the back of an aggregate victory against Qarabag in front of an ecstatic Pittodrie on 26th Aug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the second place finisher qualify for the CL groups next season? if so, then an argument can be put forth that finishing in the top two would be worth more to us than winning the League Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I was listening to an English football podcast this afternoon and they were saying that Tommie Hoban wasn't included in Crewe's squad on Saturday and there is a rumour circulating among their fans that he is preparing to announce his retirement. Could transpire to be nonsense, mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that they've now been cleared for capacity crowds. That should mean that we'll get a decent allocation for the game (half the away stand ?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
