0-0 ht hearts with only silva - (wonder if he can play out) on the bench, makavora took a dull one after about 20 minutes.

Anyone able to confirm why we have such a sparse bench? 

 

 

wood shortages - people stockpiling for a hard Brexit ?

Finished. Despite the lack of timber we still managed to board up the goal. 

 

Scoreless

Even sadder that I thought of it - moment of boredom and putting off the gardening

The U18s are playing tomorrow afternoon at Kilmanock, questions for the Rangers game over who Levein plays and wants to protect for the final, and another reserve game on Monday.

Any noteworthy performances?

Petkov - I'm warming to him as a centre back where he can play with the game all in front of him, rather than in midfield where he wasn't as effective having to work both forward and back.

Hickey had some flashes of brilliance for me. Hamilton looks the most unbothered CH have seen, strolled through the game (not that he had much to do) without a care in the world. Great to see that level of composure

Quite a few regulars playing for their loan clubs at the weekend as well.

As above, thought Petkov and Hamilton stood out, Makavora having to go off imo left us a bit toothless up front. The lad who came on tried but didn't get much from their big centre halfs

Only remember him once v St Mirren in the fish and chip cup (or whatever it's called these days), although I think he might have had a first team game a couple of years ago.  He seems to have been here for ages, is he still a prospect?

He played one game in the league cup against East Fife at the start of last season, but wasn't great and was subbed at half time.

 

He's still only 19, but I think he may be out of contract at the end of the season (I can't recall it being extended).

Petkov's contract extended to May 2020

Looks like the reserves are trying to emualte the 1st team.

 

https://spfl.co.uk/league/rl1/table

I think that's a consequence of 1st team injuries.

When you have 4 or 5 of your 1st team out injured you have to put in 4 or 5 second choices which in turn weakens the reserves.

Could be however we do have a big squad and can use a lot of the players that are out on development loans. We have players such as  Martin and Edwards who have hardly played if at all for the first team and also the reserves until recently. The guys who are on the bench week in week out can be utilised also.

 

I understand also that the league position is not quite as important as for the 1st Team as it is a means to develop younger players and give game time to players returning from injury although I am not sure CL does that very often.

Reserve games are usually Monday afternoons which makes it tough for the guys out on dev loans if they played 90 for their loan club on the previous Saturday. Reserve team this season has been heavily populated with u-17/18’s, certainly full of teenagers.

The U18s beat Hibs 2-1 at East Mains last night with the scorers being Aiden Denholm and Dean Ritchie from a penalty.

Seven are from the Championship.

I realise what you are saying thought it's a slip beacuse I wrote SPFL which should really have been Scottish Premieship.
