Hopefully we can start to take some of those chances we missed on Friday

 

Who can we bring in for Irving, any chance of Haring or Cochrane? My money's on Bozanic if not.

I think we'll see a few changes from Friday's team as we try to get all the players fit. I'll go for this: 

 

Bobby

 

Smith Souttar Halkett Burns 

 

Zanatta Clare Edwards Mulraney

 

MacLean Washington

 

Subs: Doyle, Dikamona, Hickey, Cochrane, Bozanic, Keena and Walker

 

From what I've read, Berra is already up to speed fitness-wise so I think he could sit this one out. Uche looked like he was way behind others last Friday so might just get more training time under his belt before playing again.

Think we will win this comfortably. Leaving that aside, does anyone know of any supporters buses that are running to this game?

Don’t know but if the train is an option for you at Edinburgh end, station at Cowdenbeath is just a few minutes walk to the ground (I avoided using the word “stadium”!), with a few pubs on the way too.

Time for a few changes given the players we have who are not 100% fit..try to keep them to one match per week till they are more up to speed

 

Uche, Walker and even Washington could be on the bench

 

Irving needs replaced as well as Maclean due to suspension

 

I'd play Halkett, Zanatta or McDonald, Keena and consider Henderson as well. Cochrane as well needs some game time

been here before

11-0.

 

Quite fancy Walker to do something jn this game, Washingtin likewise. Im not too sure what but the Spidey senses are tingling.

 

Last time Hearts were there Olly Lee scored 2 and looked like he might shine.

 

Ah well.

There are times when Clare and Cochrane can play together in CM without an enforcer....Cowdenbeath being one of those games. But, I am desperate to see if Halkett can play the Haring role so I really want to see him in CM tomorrow. I suspect I will not get my wish. Can see Walker getting a couple of goals. Think Keena is the hungriest striker at the club though.

Pumped by Cowdenbeath aye? Any team we put out SHOULD be good enough.  If they can’t handle this type of game then they shouldn’t be here.

No point in taking chances with the line up, remember the shambles we had at Peterhead a couple of seasons ago in this tournament.

 

Same team but Halkett for Berra, Bozanic for Irving MacLean for Uche and Doyle for Zlamal

 

Hopefully Washington can get off the mark.

Three points is all that matter, but a win by at least a couple of goals is possible. Our squad is looking good, aside from injuries and a tweak or two.

 

We already have a free Saturday this weekend for players to recover, I reckon we'll see as close to our starting eleven as possible with subs made early.

It was, but he served the first game when we played Hibs in the league after the semi.

Hickey has struggled physically in the last 15-20minutes of every game he has played. I'd be a little surprised to see him starting a second game in 5 days at this stage of the season.

Yup, but that side I believe would still win comfortably

This. If we can’t bag a hatful of goals in this game it’s probably going to be a long season.

 

Strikers should be absolutely buzzing for these games, they are a chance to pad out your goals tally for the season. Everyone should be wanting to get amongst the goals.

I’d be trying to keep as close to a settled team as possible but think we should be giving Halkett a game or two to see how he partners with Soapy.

Think the whole point of these games is for the manager to get to see the players he has plans for in action. Everyone knows what Naisy, Walker, Haring, Clare can do but is Washington better with MacLean, is Walker better more central  is Zanatrz a genuine contender for the lm position, is McDonald now ready to play 20 plus games a season after his loan. 

 

Think zanatta/McDonald both play , hickey wont play 2 games in 5 days, bozanic replaces Irving, halkett needs minutes on the pitch....see Cochrane not on bench Friday but played Saturday so he may come back in.

 

Irrespective as long as the team is professional and concentrated they will win. Result is important but performance and fitness more important just now. Hardest game in group out of the way now.

Give one or two a game but keep the formation settled and game time for certain players. For me

 

                         Bobby

 

brandon / souttar / Halkett.  / Hickey

 

Walker. /.  Clare.  /.  Bozanic. / Mulraney 

       

             Washington. / Uche 

 

Protect Smith and Berra 

give Walker & Uche 45 mins.

 

ideal game for confidence builder for Conor to get some goals !!! 👍🙏
