vegas-voss Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Will the game go ahead tonight to be chucking it down and thunder and lightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 I'd expect that tonight's team will be similar to that which started against Whitehill on Saturday with the exception of McFarlane as keeper. The video of the 1st team goals v Fleetwood this afternoon show that all the youngsters who went to Spain are still with the 1st team, including McFarlane who came on as sub keeper. I hope that the first choice "B Team" gets an opportunity to play together before the Lowland League starts on 21st July, either on Saturday at Dunbar or on Tuesday at Broxburn.

His scoring record is good, but there there are areas of his game where he needs to be better, e.g. first touch, timing of his runs, strength on the ball. The next couple of strikers in line, Mackenzie Ross and James Wilson may prove to be better all round players. The coaching staff clearly have reservations about him given how the announcement of his new contract was worded, with Joe Savage saying: “Makenzie needs to keep that hard work up, keep doing what the coaches ask of him, do his gym work, and become quicker and stronger. First and foremost, if he does well for the B Team, then the management and coaching staff will see if there’s that first team spot. “That’s what we want at Hearts, and what we need to see.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 21 minutes ago, Mikey1874 said: Friel, Nair and McLuckie can all still play at U18. I'm still pretty sure that Stone is too old. Denholm may be likewise but is a late birthday (November), so may qualify as an U20 if the qualifying date is changed along with the CAS age groups. I've been looking for the rules on age eligibility, but none have been published to my knowledge. It may have been a gentlemen's agreement with the OF originally (an oxymoron if ever there was one). However I found a tweet from Steven McGowan from the Daily Mail prior to the start of the first season of B Teams (2021/22), which echoes my understanding.

Prehen Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 41 minutes ago, Mikey1874 said: Not sure of this analysis and what the one asterisk means. All players noted here are firstly B Team players. So I don’t know what it means when noting Tait and Pollock “can play from first team”. Wilson probably has played more minutes than any young in pre season and is in Wigan this weekend. Rathie and Sandilands looking good. Some of these guys will get first team opportunities. Pollock to my knowledge the only guy who has first team minutes so to me he is ahead of the names in this list. what I will say it is going to be a great team to watch on a Friday night. These players were awesome in the second half if the season last year. I expect some great football from this lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
