With Naismith still out all it needed was Gnando to pull up and we're using Henderson and Kastaneer as strikers.

Berra back in the middle with halkett I suspect that is what it will be. Can't say I like it much. I wonder if McEneff could be dropped into the right back position? He has plenty of energy and work rate to get up and down the wing. He takes our corners so the coaches obviously think he can cross a ball. We would then be able to play Haring, Halliday and Irving in midfield. Obviously this wouldn't apply tonight but I am thinking ahead to the weekend.

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It might sound silly to say, but this is a big game for us tonight. We've looked lethargic in the league and Brora will be right up for this. Add to that we are missing key players with limited options in terms of replacements, travel, dodgy pitch etc. All set up to be a bit of a banana skin. Obviously there's a big gap in quality but the Scottish Cup games are the only games that really matter now that the league is all over bar the singing. Just need a professional performance to see us through to the next round. 0-1 for me, Gnando header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it being any different from our usual offering against teams we should be overcoming easily. We will no doubt huff and puff and pass the ball sideways and backwards at a snails pace allowing the part timers all the time in the world to keep us pinned back. Nobody with the brains or ability to find the defence splitting passes nor any runners going in behind the defence to receive the ball. The only positive thing I see from the potential team is that Halliday is out so things might speed up a bit in midfield withoutr him unless of course Haring plays then it''s back to square one. I hope I am wrong and suddenly things start to click and we play more like our opening game against Dundee but I have seen little of late to suggest that this game will be any different to the same old lack lustre performances.

Andrew Stevenson Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I think the next round of the cup is scheduled for the weekend of 3rd April so if /when we progress tonight will the league game at Dunfermline on 3rd April be called off and rearranged? It would have been nice to clinch the championship by beating Dunfermline on their own patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Hastings Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 In light of the suspension / injuries / international call ups i would go with this. Stewart Popescu Halkett Berra White Haring McEneff Irving Walker Boyce Gnando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are lucky enough to progress to the quarter finals we have 3 games that will need to be rearranged as detailed below.

jambonian Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Limited options at the back. Popescu could fit in at right-back, possibly McEneff. Berra might be a starter and if Halkett's suspended, Haring might get some game-time. Think White will play at some point. At the moment i'd be thinking ...................Gordon McEneff Popescu Berra Kingsley Kastaneer Walker, Halliday, White (or Mackay-Steven) ...........Gnanduillet Boyce. Subs from.....Haring, Irving, Mackay-Steven (or White), Henderson, Frear. That team should still be good enough but no doubt the system won't be that. Therefore dreading the game.

1953 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 We seem to raise or lower our playing standards to match the opposition right now so I'm not expecting much from tonight. 2-0 to us with both goals in the second half.
