Expect some, but not wholesale changes. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Clark, Snodgrass & Kio. One big performance and result and the players can then have a much deserved rest.

I think so, his visa got confirmed this week I believe, I'm really hoping he's a more dynamic Peter Haring. I.e can play forward balls and carry the ball forward. I think we've got too many negative passers in the team. We need a bit more risk taking and willingness to get on the ball and drive forward.

stuart500 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Gershwin said: After 2 honking performances there last season, I'm not optimistic. A win is pretty important with a tricky October coming up though. Hope Gino starts – feel like he deserves a run after a decent couple of performances in the last few weeks. No point dropping players who hit a bit of form. Gino definitely deserves to be given the chance to build on Thursday's performance. Would also start Humphrys. Lad is getting up to speed and won't be bullied by these thugs. Bit of height to help defend our box, something we've been poor at physically. Snodgrass to start between the above two, with Shanks in front. Hard to drop Barrie to the bench but he seems a bit jaded at the moment. Great option to bring on later. Kio played 3 league matches for his Dutch team this season (albeit over a month ago) but he must have done a pre-season. Hopefully see him at some stage. Getting the defence sorted will be key to getting a result. Lots of options but without fully fit Rowles and Halkett it's just not quite as solid as we would like. Neilson deserves to continue in the team, but will be targeted by Well due to his inexperience. Really want Sibbick to come good. He's had a sticky patch but I'm sure there's a player there somewhere. Just not at RCB at the moment. Tough choices for Robbie. Let's hope he gets them right.

Jambomb Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Hopefully lessons learned, play our best available team, changes to a minimum… start well score early and then rest anyone once we are comfortable! but it’s an away game, at Motherwell… so mostly likely we’ll be crap and get humped.. lost the last 5 at Fir Park!

rmreido Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 3-1 to the famous, 3 points and back into 3rd, only 3 points behind the blue noses, with them up next after the international break, joint 2nd would be tremendous after the next 2 fixtures.

GarryJ-o-s Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I don’t expect many changes with it being the last game before the international break. I think Neilson for Halkett, maybe Atkinson for Smith. Think Ginnelly will keep his place and the rest are possibly what Robbie finds our best fit XI right now.

EH11 2NL Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 If there is gonna be changes or players rested it would be interesting to watch Hunphreys number 9, Snodgrass number 10. Some strength up top in those 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I also think we will mix it up a bit. I think Snodgrass will definitely start . Motherwell will shell balls at neilson and Kingsley for van been to put them under pressure so think we will in the form of height in the midfield.

I just think he needs to stick with the players who are giving us intensity in their game just now. Ginnelly, Halliday(if still feeling fresh) Devlin, Shankland(not playing too well but keeps ploughing away). Grant returned to play well. McKay did wake up after half an hour on Thursday and made important runs taking us up the park. I’m just not a rotation fan when it’s not really needed. Some managers rest players thinking ahead of other games too much, not necessarily when the player is actually fatigued at that time. I do think there’ll be a couple of changes like you say but worthwhile. It’s the kind of game Snodgrass will bring toughness to that we need, as well as his ability.

Armageddon Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 [This is why I’m not a football manager] Rest Gordon and Smith, although Smith might have to play CB between Neilson and Atkinson with Kingsley Kiomo, Haring, McKay, Forrest Snodgrass and Shankland in any set up that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sausage Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Would be brilliant to get 3 points and boost morale around the place going into the break. A win and we’d be sitting third place, in spite of the twice a week schedule. Id expect to see Kio, Snodgrass and Humphrys in from the start for some freshness.

BackOfTheNet Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Last time we played on a Sunday after Europe, we won. Albeit we made it hard on ourselves against St. Johnstone. My only fear is Motherwell have had a lot of time to rest and work on the training ground for Hammell to get his ideas across. Whereas we’ll likely have to make a good number of changes and maybe only had one session on the training pitch since Thursday. Was one out when I predicted 0-5 to Istanbul, was (thankfully) wrong when predicting a 0-0 draw against RFS. This one is a tough one to call though. Not sure if we’ll revert to league form or we’ll see confident players playing confidently. My head says 0-0 or 1-1, my heart says 3-0 Hearts with Humphrys getting his first goal for the club.
