Unfortunately, it seems it's kosher. If that starting line-up puts in a good performance and sets us up for a win I'll be astonished; delighted, but absolutely astonished.

We need to click quickly and score early and be at least 2 up by halftime otherwise the fans will boo the manager off the park!!! Seriously though, alloa worked bloody hard and we have afew slackers in that lineup. No faith in Robbie but an ugly win is the best I think we are getting.

Riccarton3 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) So much responsibility for Irving. Unfairly so because we have no midfield. Just him today. Whist Walker, Frear and Roberts wait for things to happen for them. Lots of running about though for Hendo. Get after that son!

Slow start - hand the initiative to the other team - goal down - then Neilson brings on the players he should have started with to rescue the game! One of these days he will start his best players and blow the home team away in the first half! I actually thought given the strength of the bench, that Roberts, Walker, Frear and Henderson would press high and run themselves into the ground for 45 minutes and would be replaced at half time by Ginnelly, Naisy, GMS and Boyce. Probably wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting Roberts and Frear on the wings when he gets a start isn't giving him much of a chance though. 8 minutes ago, Hungry hippo said: Would have been fairer on him to play him with some first choice players supporting him up front. 8 minutes ago, AllyjamboDerbyshire said: Never a good chance when the 'chance' is given in a rather weak team selection. I'd even go as far as to say it's somewhat unfair on both Frear and Roberts, too, to, more than once, give them their 'chance' both in the same lineup. So, got some excuses already lined up for him then. Good stuff. He is starting the game today so you should watch him and judge him by exactly the same standard you judge Frear and Roberts. He doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt just because he’s a guid Hearts laddie. All 3 of these second string guys have been given their opportunity today, they’ve trained together for months, they should know each other’s game enough by now. So they should all 3 of them be held accountable for their performance in the same way. But in saying all that I hope all 3 of them take their chance to play well, and get the supporters on side. Or at least hopefully one of the 3 of them will show some form of desire / goal threat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Says something when the only player on the bench, apart from the goalkeeper, who wouldn't improve that team is Popescu - and even he might be better than either Frear or Roberts. Whatever the reason, whether injuries or concern over the pitch, it's pretty worrying if that's the best we can put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex member of the SaS Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ok playing devil's advocate for a minute, maybe he's thinking that due to a crap artificial pitch be doesn't want to risk our top players. This team should be good enough, but Robbie is taking a huge risk. I have always supported him, but if we don't get three points today then I will be seriously miffed. Have said from the start we MUST be well clear and I mean WELL clear as they could call the league at any time. Three points or we may just have to stay in this league for another season and that would be a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Moysey Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Feel that RN just doesn't rate Wighton. His 'F***** h***' no happiness reaction at his brilliant goal v Raith said it all. Not in his plans despite scoring regularly,yet sticks with Frear and Roberts who have contributed virtually nil to our season so far. BAFFLING!

Even ahead of the collective wisdom that is Kickback. We’re not good enough to keep players off plastic pitches and in any case it’s almost certain that they’ll be brought on at some stage so that negates that arguement. That team is nothing like our best available 11. Play them from the start, get the game put to bed early THEN take them off if needs be.
