ramrod Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Just now, ToqueJambo said: It's all about Dundee and the semi right now. We could play our first team and Raith would do what Cowden did and just sit back. We'd learn nothing. Dundee and Hibs are likely to be more open games. I'm sure he knows his starting team with maybe some questions around if Haring is good to go yet and the LB and RB positions. Yeah I've no probs with Robbies team selection , he knows much more about the players and the fitness situation than me . Only slight concern is that a defeat will put him and the team on the back foot going into the start of the season . Hopefully a win and it's been a solid start before the league campaign starts . .

We can discuss after the match, but right now that is a reserve reserve team just 2 1/2 weeks before we take on the scum from another town!

salvo69 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I’ve been waiting for the line up as Hearts were 1/2.....was ready to go big but not after seeing that line up...still go for -1 Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Apprentice Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 1 minute ago, GBJambo said: Why is he resting players! Surely he should be picking full strength team getting the players ready for the season. Season hasn’t even started players do not need rested! But other players need minutes under their belts and this is a great chance to get it. Clearly a lot of what will be fringe players playing but this is their chance to stake a claim for a jersey. Saturday was pretty poor after all with our so-called stronger players playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Robbie is definitely his own man. We do need to win tonight, he's obviously confident in some of the young guys or maybe not impressed with the older lot and giving everyone a message. Part of me also thinks he does this just to wind certain sections of our support up. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDJ87 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 8 minutes ago, Ari Gold said: Not quite that eleven but I expected changes. I'd have either Halkett or Popescu. It would be daft to play full team for 4 games in 10 days after 6 months off. Yes it would be but got quite a shock when I seen that team. My main concern is no Gordon in goals, the rest I can live with. Over the initial shock now and hopeful that the youngsters do well and scud these title thieving ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writing was already on the wall for Cathro. Peterhead and Dunfermline just put the final nail in the coffin. And that was defeats with full strength sides after a full pre season. You'd hope Neilson would get more time, but you have to wonder on here sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Tell me people aren’t losing their shit at us playing what is clearly a second string side..

salvo69 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So Bet365 clearly don’t have the line ups! Boyce is 3/1 to score first and Wighton is 9/2. considering Hearts are favourites (despite what everyone says) getting 9/2 on the favourites main striker to score first is value (not guaranteed but value) he is also 6/4 to score anytime ...8/1 to score twice and 40/1 for a Hat trick i ll be going for 1,2 and 3 goals as you will profit of he scores once hearts at 1/2 is not worth it but even money for -1 is good for me. i ll also watch it so will put myself through the pain of watching and potentially needing Craig to score 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
