pozbaird Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 If we get through, and we face Brann - they’re toast. If it’s the Eagles, could be heartache tonight. There literally is too much low hanging fruit, should we go down this path. Need to get past Valur though, then we’ll all be dancing in the dark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Brann have the fibre to get through that round and when The Eagles do I think they are going to have a bit of bother with the new kid in town. Don’t know about you, but I’ve got a peaceful, easy feeling we’re sailing through to the play off round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Anyway, back to the football..................... A bit of a worry that four first picks are injured already. Hopefully Iacovitti's injury clears up quickly and CBM's isn't as bad as has been suggested. I know Taylor was much improved in the 2nd half, but you'd have to imagine that since we paid a fee for Iacovitti, he wasn't signed to be a sub. With Rooney available for the 2nd leg, you would presume that he will start in some capacity. Does he go in for Elvis or does Fraser move to LCB and Rooney plays RCB? Decisions to be made in midfield too and up top. I suspect for the latter, that we'll persevere with Olusanya and Mandron. Does Idowu start in midfield or do we, presuming CBM isn't fit, go with O'Hara, Adeniran and Smyth? Lots of important decisions to be made by Robbo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon he'll be sub but get on late on for a run if at all possible. Smyth maybe to sub with Roland starting too would be my preference. Rooney? How fit/match fit is he? 45/60 mins? Possibly better to start him. Taylor is fine at LCB. He's quick, tackles well, good in the air and can play out well. Worry is that ball in behind RCB for 1 on 1's with Goga 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney will start ahead of Elvis, he didn’t sign to be a back up player If he’s 100% fit he’ll start on Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my thinking too. He'll push up further than Elvis and he's a threat from set plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Bo Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I think it will be Rooney in for Elvis and Idowu in for CBM. Idowu looked so lively on Thursday and was running at players in a way, OHara,CBM and Smyth can't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I reckon Rooney for Elvis and Adeniran for CBM. Smyth had a poor game on Thursday but I think the Robinson style of man-management is not to drop him but give him a chance of redemption. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Considering the injuries, it's a shame that it looks like one or other with Tanser and Brown. Both are good footballers. Would be great if Brown could tuck in and play on the left hand side of our midfield 3. Tanser in his normal position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzing for the game, as it’s the first time my two sons will get to see a home game in European competition.
