Ascal Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 29 minutes ago, PartyFears2 said: In this B-team cup, can you play a couple of 1st teamers? there’s a few that really need the minutes "7.6 A Colt Team shall be permitted, but not obliged, to Play a maximum of two Over Age eligible Players/players in any Match." I'm not sure if the same rules for Colt teams in the Highland/Lowland league count, but there an overage player (effectively someone over 21) becomes ineligible after playing or being on the bench for 5 senior games. Either way by my interpretation nothing would stop us naming a couple new guys/folk coming back from injury/Watt or Grimshaw in the squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the derby will come too soon for him, certainly can't risk him in such a big game IMO, fans will be on his back from day one if he isn't ready so I can see Seve playing in that CDM role for the time being until he is up to speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with Odada getting some game time, he seems the right kind of player but hes a long way off the pace, don't think anyone is questioning that. Other than making a point - possibly trying a little constructive dismissal - I don't see much benefit in playing Watt which seems to be on the cards. The idea is maybe put him in a position where he refuses to play and considers a move elsewhere in a different light (I've heard Patrick made an enquiry but not sure how seriously to take that) but in terms of getting a squad ready for league action it seems a wasted spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too early to say on Stirton as he's still a kid but from what I've seen of him in the youths, I can't see him making it at this level unfortunately, hasn't quite got the technical ability. Forbes looks an exciting prospect though, has done really well in the youths, the one to watch IMO. I was told by a club informer that Watt was told to go play with the B team but refused to do so. I think it'll be best for all parties if he moves to somewhere else for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it specifically says in his contract that he’s not obliged to do that then I’d imagine it gives the club grounds to void the contract. Not sure the club would want to get dragged into a, potentially, messy legal battle but it could open the door to a termination which avoids us having to pay his full salary. Also the fact he’s been given that instruction suggests he’s definitely on his way out. Good news imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
