The Great Stagsby Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I'm maybe jumping the gun a little here, starting a match thread almost a full 5 and a half hours ahead of kick-off... But I'm surely not the only one already desperate to talk about this captivating fixture. Or am I? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Its a decent draw we got which is the big difference in getting through the group stages as a seeded team and as long as we dont underestimate Spartans we should progress. Although I have never seen them play they are obviously a good team having come through the group stages topping their group and its thanks to them we got the seeding after beating Livingston in the final group game. I am sure Don Cowie will have done his homework on them but not sure will he go with a 5-3-2 or a 4-4-2. Maybe something along the lines of last week line up but would rather Brown instead of Efete and either Samuel or White in place of Brophy. I imagine Chilvers has not been up to speed yet fitness wise having only come on as a sub so far but cant be far away by now and could replace Denholm. It was good to hear Don saying that he want to target a Hampden appearance in the cup as it is something he never managed as a player so although the main priority is survival in the league this is going to be taken very seriously. A win today and a kind draw and it could very well happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
central staggie Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Would be good to see Chilvers get a decent run out today. Don said during the week he's not looking to rotate so assuming we'll see pretty much the same team that started against United. Should be a good game, Spartans seem like a decent side with a bit of experience in their squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkboy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Well that's just pish, innit? Funnily I was thinking of some of our cup upsets when we were in Division 3, beating Dundee United in the '98 League Cup & then going to penalties with Hearts at Tynecastle. And now we're the ones losing to 4th tier opposition. Sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
