qpfc Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I don’t wanna see basically any of Saturdays team play on Wednesday. I’d imagine 2 or 3 may play but I’d be willing to give all the fringe players a game.

williebraveheart Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I would play none of the team who played last Saturday. The league has to be the main priority. This is a meaningless cup. Very few remember who won it two weeks after the final. The Scottish Cup is more of a business proposition in the hope that we get drawn against a big club. We would be devastated if Murray got a knock on Wednesday which kept him out of Saturday's game. I just don't see the point of taking the risk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanetti Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 If this were a Saturday I'd be fine with putting our best team out to keep them sharp, but on a Wednesday evening in between two long trips to Cove and Inverness I hope we change the entire team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 If he does go with a B team I still think the bench will be loaded with our match winners. Revenue from the Scottish Cup isn’t as exciting as it might have been 3 years ago. Winning a trophy, even this one, will make a very strong statement to sponsors. And that’s where the real money is. Predictable and consistent payments, unlike gates at cup ties. Not to forget trophy winners attract scouts from other clubs. Isn’t January the month for footballer shopping? Or is that why they want the B team on the park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in lower level fitba…it’s the month for finding people to sign on PCA’s, that signing other peoples lads, and paying them money for them, is rare as hen’s teeth roundabouts. 1 hour ago, williebraveheart said: The Scottish Cup is more of a business proposition in the hope that we get drawn against a big club.

Double Jack D Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 On the one hand, I'm not hugely fussed about our progress in this tournament. The league is a far higher priority. On the other hand, a win sets up a semi final at Dens or East End which has the potential to be an absolute cracker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathcartSkins Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I would like to see the entire starting 11 change, this is a good opportunity to have the Young QP play in a game with an element of pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) As usual with this cup, I’ll start bothering about it if we get to the Semis. Midweek games are a pain in the hole. I’ve moved on from kids birthday parties to kids sports clubs, as an excuse for non-attendance.

roverthemoon Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 We’ve already won this a couple of times so let’s just have a laugh. Big John on from the start. For Rovers it could relatively lucrative to win this if the Pars win tonight. A derby in the semi-final would bring in some reasonable cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 1867 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Owen Coyle confirming in an interview today that there will be 9/10 changes for tomorrow's game. That's good to see and looking forward to seeing those players that don't get as many minutes get a game under their belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 So with Millen and Spencer named as our additional injuries, and with Greig Young cup-tied and Jamie MacDonald being rested, where does that leave us? McNeil in goals, probably a back three of Dick, Nolan and Lang, Brown and probably Easton in central midfield, Connolly and maybe McBride out wide, and then Vaughan behind a front two of Gullan and Connell. Subs Frederiksen and Masson. Can't see any other formation we can adopt with what we've got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 1 minute ago, Skeletar Spider said: We don't have a good enough squad to make wholesale changes to the team without essentially forfeiting our chances of winning, but it might be the smart move. Never been a fan of resting players for cup games, but this is pretty much the first time it's actually been something for us to consider. Looking at who we have available and the team we are likely to put out, not sure playing your B team will definitely equal a forfeit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you might be right in fairness.

Even really good teams, like Liverpool and City, flounder when they use their squad. This 'big picture' mood in our camp is a bit too Old Firm for me. What happens if we get through...do we play the underlings again in a semi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
