Form, statistics etc are as valid at this stage as they are earlier. Have you never seen a team raise its game in a big match MT? I'm not ignoring the stats, nor am I saying that we might suddenly become half-decent overnight, but the players will/should realise that these final games start to take on significantly more meaning ... you gotta hope, you gotta hope, aye? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also seen sides slump and underperform. I've seen both happen in September and in April, as well as at various points in between. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bod Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how we'll set up and who'll be playing where, will Marvellous Marv have us with a back 3 and a diamond midfield or maybe play a "Christmas tree" formation? Will our best wideman with the best delivery and our top scorer get any game time? It wouldn't be my pick but I think he'll go with last weeks setup with Brydon in for the injured McClelland and Mumbongo in for Doherty. With the wind forecast it could be fun and McCann's record could be in jeopardy. Stone with the first goal as the team follow the instructions to play hoof ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second half was as well as we've played in a long time. I'll be surprised if it isn't the same set-up as possible*. Unless he's had a bad week I'd be picking Brydon over Ambrose every day of the week. I expect Mumbongo will replace Doherty but I'd prefer Reilly. * Though it's Bartley, I suppose it could end up being completely different! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that but we were so wasteful when we got into good positions with Bartley favourite McKenchie being the worst culprit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. If Gibson isn't starting he surely has to feature at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bod Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Once Smith, Rose then Hendrie went off we took full control of the game and there was still 30 mins left. Both Gibson and Reilly should have been put on then. The game was crying out for them, but Bartley was scared to go for it when the game was ours for the taking. Anyway back to tomorrow, I'm not sure what will spoil the game more for us, the predicted wind or Bartley 's decision making!

the philosopher Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 No Homer you got it wrong. The Bigbrbairn knows his geography - Annan are his favourite Borders team, he's just a bit shy to say so.

With Bartley at the helm this could come to fruition for you sooner than you think. Will todays crowd break 800?

bod Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Borrowed this from the Annan, Accies thread "Murphy has got the boys playing with determination and two up top" Any chance someone could tell Bartley to try this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
