Guest ToqueJambo Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Think this will be a reserve side similar to Raith Rovers.

HMFC01 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Back to five subs, could see some reserves get used in the starting lineup, though I wouldn't expect too many changes. Was thinking Berra might get a start for 45 minutes. Some players filling in for the internationals. 4-2-3-1 Stewart Brandon Halkett berra kingsley Moore Lee haring white Naisy Wighton Subs: bobbie, popescu for berra, irving, haliday for haring , frear for white, walker for Naisy, henderson for Moore. Result, possible draw but hopeing for a win. Might lose a goal so I will go 4-1. Edited November 10, 2020 by HMFC01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 We always struggle on these types of pitches, I reckon it'll be either a hard fought 1-1 draw, or a very narrow one goal win with a much weakened side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty jam Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Not normally pessimistic but i confess to being a little worried about this tie.

Please don't say we can't simultaneously cope with winning the 2nd Tier and the Betfred Cup with our resources! It's not like we're battling for the Premier title, or battling against relegation, or going on a promising European run. Winning a cup, either of them (preferably both obviously), would be a huge statement after everything that's been thrown at us over the last few months. So more than ever it's important now, although I've always seen it as one of the two trophies we can realistically win each season. Ignore it and you have just one to aim at - why would you do that?

It's partly that, but in our case I think it's also a defence mechanism to deal with the fact that we've failed in it for so long.

This is amplified by Hibs managing to win the league cup 3 times since our last success - which obviously leads to it becoming the Mickey Mouse Cup, "wee team wee cup" etc... You can tell most of us actually care quite a lot though.

From the point of view of qualifying in a seeded position I'm guessing that a win will guarantee it, but having looked at the tables and not having Higher Maths it's difficult to know if one point or two points would be enough. I've signed up for the broadcast, it would be interesting to know how many subscribers East Fife get. I'm assuming too that being a cup game Hearts will get half of the profit after expenses.
