Mikey1874 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Happy to go to any party and if its the same team as Livingston I'll be very tempted to go be anywhere else but the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocam2325 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Where is it again? Last time I was there was in 1970 something I think. The ground is right behind Main Street Stenhousemuir on Tryst Road behind what was McCowans toffee factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 There must be a chance that RN will field another youth line-up. I'm in the camp that hopes he doesn't. Would love to see us win this trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Team I'd pick, assuming Soufian is unavailable. If he is, I'd put him in ahead of Roy. Hollis L.Smith Gordon McKay Eckersley D.Smith Robinson Beith Henderson Oliver Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I honestly would take McGhee out. For all our changes, he's been the constant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Plastic pitch at stenny. Fingers crossed for no injuries due to it. international break soon so no need to rest players but maybe an opportunity for a few fringe players to come in.

Weonly151 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I would actually field a strong enough team for this match, I think this is a cup we can win this season. Also Stenny won't be that easy to best as everyone is thinking. My team would be Hollis L Smith MaKay McGee Eckersley Walker Robinson Holt Smith Oliver Keatings I would have a strong bench if needed: Sow,King,El Hass,Wilson or Ozturk and a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a useful tester playing on the astro before a league match on one. Most of the players have obviously spent time on the astro so how much harm/benefit either way is hard to say.

Captain Canada Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'd start with our strongest team and forget about 'what ifs' related to injuries. Yes we have a few already but you can't go through the season worrying about what might happen. We have no transfer embargo this season and could get in free agents on short term deals if it came to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Will be one hell of a test considering Stenny hit 4 today as well but lost 5-4. Plastic pitch will give the lads an early feel for what lies ahead at Falkirk & QOTS. Fancy a changed side maybe not as changed as Wednesday. Hollis L.Smith-McKay-Wilson-Eckersley D.Smith-Robinson-Beith-Nicholson Roy-Keatings Keatings needs more game time. Fantastic hat trick today but has had a stop start pre season. Another 60 will help if he plays tues Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think Neilson will make a few changes but keep in some more established players as well - unlike Livi. As folk have mentioned this Cup ranks higher than the Petrofac. I'd go: Hollis L.Smith Ozturk Wilson Eckersley Robinson Gomis D.Smith Oliver Walker Sow My thinking being that the two CBs should remain and help the full backs. I feel Liam Smith is due a chance and I'd be interested to get him and Eckersley a game as I feel we may need their cover at some point. I'd keep Gomis in purely because when we have both him and Buaben out we have lost the midfield quite significantly. However I'd have Beith on the bench and hopefully if things are going to plan and we get a decent lead and bring him on for Morgaro as early as possible. Oliver worth a start after his goal vs Raith and I'd like to see us try the options of Walker and David Smith as, like the full back areas, I think we'll need them over the season in addition to King and Nicholson. Chance to get Sow back in, although I'd happily see Keatings keep his place too. All that said I wouldn't be adverse to McGhee or McKay getting a start for Ozturk. Maybe get Roy some game time from the bench too if we are comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I want us to put out a team strong enough to win the game. We have a genuine chance of winning this cup this year, surely not asking too much to give it a crack considering we're also playing less league games and with a larger squad than last year?

kylelauren01 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hearts first team are never on the astro at Riccarton. It was laid in 2004 and is approaching the end of its useful life. It is nothing like the 4g astro used by Falkirk, etc. a lot if the younger ones will be used to modern astro through playing at Hamilton, etc but first team always on grass at Riccarton.

I think Ray Dunlop captained us that day. I forgot about the back gardens. We got the "Special" through as Drylaw Hearts never got a bus that day, not sure it's only a half mile walk from Larbert, might be but when your getting beaten for dodging lampposts, by the Police, I remember it as a long walk.

mainstandjambo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Stevie Crawford interview on Hearts TV stating that there will be 6 or 7 changes tomorrow, but players coming in are ones with first team experience who have been knocking on the door for a chance.
