But we can’t. I think that’s his point?

 

It's not.

It was about recruitment. 

We can afford 30 players at the same level, we have 22-24 but if 6 are injured then it means we have a weak bench.

 

Not hard to work out.

 

Anyway,  it is what it is.

Agreed. Forrest has show a little bit more recently but still not great. McKay needs to turn up tonight

Agree. McKay was a passenger in the home game against them so hopefully he will get his arse in gear tonight

If you add Rowles,  Smith, Gino, Boyce,  Halkett and  Benni we are much stronger.

 

 

The quality of players with injuries is outstanding. Unfortunately this summer, we didn't seem to anticipate getting so many

Is that a 4-3-3?

 

Gordon

Atkinson Haring Kingsley Cochrane

Devlin Grant Halliday

Forrest Humphrey’s McKay

 

Pretty happy with that only question mark for me is McKay, is he going to actually show up tonight ?

That is one astonishingly weak bench.

 

This has not been a good summer for recruitment.

 

0-2 Hearts 

McKay double 

 

 

Don't forget it's a weak bench due to the 6 or 7 injuries we have

That’s what I initially thought! Think I’d prefer that than two left footers at centre back and Haring in midfield

Don’t think anyone could have predicted half of our first 11 would be out injured

Gino is injured.

McKay probably could do with being dropped, but he was always going to start this one.

Shanks isn't a lone striker - we know this. So not playing him in a 4-5-1 isn't a bad call.

What is there to lose playing 2 up front. It matters not, if we lose by 4 or 1, but not trying to win is fecking torture. It's the first time I'm thinking about changing manager, if that's the pish we're doing. I don't care if we lose heavily,if we give it a go. I'd be more upset if we sit in and play for a 0-0 and lose a goal we can't get back. Shite tactics.

Glad Humphrys is in from the start and that Devlin is back. Not sure what warrants the significant changes from last week...unless it's recognition that was a shocking decision in which case it's very welcomer.

4-3-3 would be nice 😁 Probably 343

3 4 3 just becomes 5 at the back and we sit too deep and become passive.   Am seen it time and time again so now hoping we stick to 4 at the back and get higher up the pitch.     Just hoping for a performance in the front foot for a change 🤞🏻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

It's a line-up with a lot of grit in it. Plenty of types willing to get stuck in. Let's hope it also has enough quality

Every time McKay got the ball he was surrounded by three Fiorentina players. Not much he can do given the circumstances. It’ll be the same tonight. Italian clubs are excellent at identifying players who cause problems and nullifying them. Our problem is we can’t lay a glove on their midfield players.

Primitive kind of stadium by our standards. And yes it does rain in Florence.

They have an agreement (pay off) from UEFA not to show European and EPL games.

This is a good site if its on BT or Premier etc

They’re not all at the same level though are they.

Anyway, as you say….

Barrie McKay must have photos of Robbie.

Haring also 😱😱😱

Nobody else we could really play. Ginnelly would've been thr obvious switch for McKay but he's injured.

Snodgrass instead of Haring but he can't play.

Swap Haring for Halliday who will be full back and Haring in the middle of a three and would guess thats the shape myself.

Could be 

                  Gordon

Atkinson  Kingsley  Cochrane  Halliday

          Devlin      Haring  

                    Grant

Forrest    Humphreys     McKay.

 

 

Or,

 

                          Gordon

             Kingsley  Haring  Halliday 

 

Atkinson    Devlin    Grant      McKay    Cochrane     

                   

                  Forrest    Humphreys     

 

 

There could be a number of ways that ream lines up, but I think it will be the first formation, we'll see soon.

Haha. I'm working nightshift tonight so will keep an eye on the game.

 

Think this will be nothing more than a very expensive piss up sadly.

Aye hes so bloody frustrating. I will be very surprised if he turns up tonight praying he does because he is brilliant on his day but his day is so far and few between. Lets hopr the boys give a goid account of themselves. Fiorentina are a very good team much better than us so if we can at least have a go and give the fans something ti shout about thatll do for me. Feeling 3 or 4 hammering .
