Bazzas right boot Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 4 minutes ago, Whatever said: Very much doubt Boyce will start regardless of Robbies sound bites. Hope to be proven wrong. I'd go with Naismith up top, with walker behind. Boyce on bench this time, international, travel etc. Not enough time between games if he's not 100%.

Boyce on bench this time, international, travel etc. Not enough time between games if he's not 100%. Agreed, think Smith will start, with a view to subbing him around 70minutes if comfortable. With Boyce on the bench unless really needed. A front 3 of Wighton, Naismith and Walker will suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS98 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Mikey Smith had a very good game for NI in centre mid. I watched most of that game because the Scotland game was god awful. See if we could manage to get our hands on another even semi-competent right back, we’d have another very very good option in the middle of the park. It’s a moot point right now as Brandon is somehow our only other right back and the less time he’s on the pitch the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMJ_1874 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 We need to play our most experienced team every week so that we are ready for the SC final. Haring, Naismith lee and Halliday should all be starting so they get game time and precious minutes under their belts. I’m sure that’ll be Robbie’s focus just now but he won’t publicly say this. The young and inexperienced will only be bit part players for the next four weeks imo and will only come on If there is a risk to our strongest 11.

None of the young guys have indicated to me they are ready to play more than a bit part and definitely none have indicated they are ready to dictate or dominate games. Irving can claim to be a part of the first team squad. No one else can. Things can change but no one stands out, Macdonald was the one that I thought was decent and Moore has been effective at times but that's about it. We are also getting Halliday , Haring and some others up to speed so that will take priority over game time for what is no more than bit part, back up young players.

Yeah, but we can't weaken the side just to give some players a game on the off chance they'll be any good. Our coaches will also see them in training and development games, as fans we think first team football is the only chance to prove yourself, it's not.

Bazzas right boot Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I think we'll stroll this, 4-1. We've struggled away at the shitty for various reasons ( squad rotation, plastic pitches etc) but I think more proper football grounds like est end Park will suit us, not to mention Dunfermline will actually try to win the game along with our mentality of our team knowing not only should we beat them but we need to put a marker down to our "rivals". Players got a roasting last time out as well. I think if there were fans in these types of grounds it would suit us even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentality is the biggest difference at this level, he'll need to sort that side out. With no fans in stadiums, it's the perfect chance for a player that relies heavy on confidence to kick on. In all honesty I see nothing special in most of this age group, I think most will make a living out of football but will be between the championship and maybe bottom 6 spl standard. Hope I'm wrong. Hickey broke the glass ceiling and Irving has shown signs he could be a good player, at least for us but right now imo most of the young guys aren't playing for us or are out on loan simply because they aren't good enough to be around our 18 man squad. The one's that are here will be OK for cover, but won't actually improve our best team and shouldn't be played just because they are young, they need to be playing better and add more to the team than the senior players and I have seen that at all.
