keyser_soze Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Friday was a decent game, more of the same but with goals chucked in this time please. 3-2 win for the home side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I don't know what to expect here, like most folk I suppose. If we can convert some of the sitters we've been missing in recent games we should win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatowner Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Keeping the ball only takes us so far. It doesn't look like the midfield know when to play the strikers in, or that the strikers know how or when they want the ball delivered. The result is we keep the ball for too long and give the opposition far too long to get in position. Shake it up a bit McGlynn! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a number of changes, as the Friday team was crafted for a heavy pitch. With us back at Stark’s, I’d expect a more passing oriented team: JMac Musonda/Davo/Bene/KMac Spencer/King/Matthews Tait Abraham/Kennedy Tumilty might stay and Frankie might give Bene a day off...Armstrong could play for Tait and make it a more conventional 4-3-3...rest Hendry and let him spell King after the half. That enough? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I wouldn't be dropping Hendry for King. Abraham is an unknown to ICT so I would put him in for Ugwu who can't hit a barn door from two yards. Duku looked like he has no interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That enough?Musonda has never played RB for us before and you want us to drop a known RB who hasn’t really done anything wrong to play a CH/LB there instead? I’m glad McGlynn won’t see that as an option tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Considering some of the ICT masses tugging themselves silly over the exciting appointment of Billy Dodds and how he will sort out our forward line, I fully expect a bucket load of ICT goals..........so Raith to win 2-0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 It's hard to get too excited for this after our feeble attempts to score a goal in the last week. I think it's not much of a stretch to say one goal might be enough to win this and only a fool would bet against ICT getting that goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected Raith to get a gee up at halftime but continued passing around at the back. Need to be more incisive on Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 This 'he was a great striker so he'll get our strikers scoring' stuff is the calling card of a football moron. Terry Butcher in his prime was one of the best centre-backs in Britain (if not Europe) and there were times under his management that our defence was terrible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Not sure which of our injured players are due back but we seemed to improve in the second half on Friday. Given the number of games we have we might rotate some players. And by rotate I mean, point Brad Mckay in the directio of the car park and tell him to f**k off.

San Starko Rover Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I just feel we seem to want to pass the ball too much at times, yes we’ve got some great passing players and no I don’t want us to just punt it up the field but sometimes we seem to want to let everyone have a wee touch of the ball which allows the opposition to get back in position and organise themselves. Striker at the moment is a real problem area which is crazy as we’ve actually got loads more than normal but none seem to be scoring goals. Duku hasn’t been the same this year, Ugwu one back heel against hearts aside hasn’t impressed me and Abrahams while he’s got pace is raw and can look a bit Bambi on ice at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If King never played another minute for us I wouldn't be hugely disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I understated that. I didn't rate King at all on Friday but to be fair he's maybe short of match fitness. But he's no Hendry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
