The job is quite literally secure the league, secure the clubs future. I know we're miles ahead, and I know there are guys who deserve a crack, but there will be time for that. Aye, he should be starting with the strongest, then bringing subs on as soon as is practical IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Depends why though. If players are carrying injuries then it’s worth making the odd change. Feels like the principle of keeping the formation is established, and we have decent cover in most positions. I agree that change for changes sake is pointless at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, if there are injuries or knocks, that's a different story. Only change we could make that wouldn't otherwise make a major difference would be Tait for Henderson I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had Lang and Donaldson at the back all season and it would not be good to change that unless a injury occured. Hendo could do a job but mot as good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 If we play our first 11 and they get the job done we’ll have about 2 months and 10 games to rotate to our hearts content. Rotation for rotation sake is completely pointless in the coming 3/4 games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Resting players carrying knocks is not squad rotation it’s common sense. Fannying around with the team such as at Edinburgh is and really should be avoided. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Lang must be made of steel. The amount of tackles and rough stuff he has been involved in and he has been an ever present. Powerhouse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Strong team, personally thought Mcginn was completely done so will be interesting to see him play. If he can’t hack it today say thanks for everything and see you on the final day for his farewell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Not a fan of Hogarth but would imagine he will be pissed off at being dropped after his MOTM performance last week. Made 3 or 4 crucial saves. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Have to say I don’t really see the point in starting Long. Him and Hogarth are both of a similar standard (Hogarth slightly better imo) and Hogarth is our player, so personally I would be starting him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgenarse Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Understand the need to rotate but unless Mcginn has been exceptional in training no point putting him in as he is leaving at end of season anyway. Hogarth must be pissed off seems to be dropped after every good performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Henderson and Tait are better options to start (unless both not 100pc fit then fair enough). By all means, as we keep saying bring mcginn on second half if we are comfortable. No room for sentimentality here. That's not to say we can't play well with mcginn starting of course we can, but why change a team that's cruising this league? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 This giving the keepers a month each is a bit weird. They both just get settled and then are out again. Not a fan of it . Rather we were giving Nicky to the end of the season to see if he is going to be an option for next season. Not sure about mcginn either. Slows the game down a bit much for me but if Tait and Henderson are carrying knocks then that's a different matter. Who knows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draw Morrison & Miller in closer to MacIver & let the full backs give width for crosses. You’ve 2 guys with pace & skill to get by folk, let them use it, get in the box & go for goal, someone has to stop you. Naw, just get the ball wide & lump high balls into the CF, who has nobody round d as bout him. Can’t think of anyone showing imagination & trying to play into the box with a 1-2. Try something inventive, not predictable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy1876 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Not a fan of the constant short corners, especially when it turns into a cross about 2 feet away from the corner anyway. Seems a wasted use of bodies outside the box for what is essentially the same kick. Edited March 2 by Jimmy1876 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Thought mcginn played pretty well to be honest . Didn't give the ball away once and got stuck in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played alright but looks a fair bit off the pace. Looked a sore for Morrison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
