I think coming back from a long term injury and playing two games a week is going to take its toll. He is looking sharp at the moment but think we should still be cautious with him.

I think boyce is crucial to all that we do and we'll struggle without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 3-0 and a pretty straight forward victory against this shite I think. Lowry and Vargas to both get their first goals for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibbick deserves an opportunity to play alongside Kent after Rowles poor performance. Would like to see how he partners with a solid looking centre half. Can’t wait to see Halkett back as wel. So would I but Sibbick also isn’t a solid centre back. Think we have forgotten his brain farts last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaShango Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I think if Boyce can play he will he is so good at linking the play that even if we got an hour out of him it would benefit us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawlad74 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Would hope Devlin and Boyce get rested and put on bench with Thursday in mind. Injury and form indicate Cammy has to start tho. Need 3 in midfield against this lot if we can find them, might look to Halliday or even Grant tho our attacking 3 is easier to select thankfully.

The Treasurer Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 No wholesale changes to rest players. We made that mistake last season and it cost us valuable points. Start with the strongest available team. You rest players once the job is done (hopefully). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canada Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) My team would be: Clark Offiah Kent Rowles Cochrane Sibbick Devlin Vargas Boyce Lowry Shankland Subs: McGovern, Kingsley, Oda, Tagawa, Hoff, Halliday and Grant. I'm sure I've forgotten someone obvious! I left Atkinson out on purpose but would start him on Thursday. I don't see any point in him being a sub when Sibbick could cover if needed. I think we need to make some changes but without overdoing it. Edited August 25, 2023 by Captain Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher75 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Clark Offiah Kent Rowles Kingsley Beni Nieuwenhof Oda Shankland Vargas Tagawa Beni is close to being fit. Would rather see him play against Dundee than be thrown in to PAOK game. Nieuwenhof had a knock so may not be fit. I would be inclined to rest Boyce for Thursday. Vargas and Shankland to play for 60 or so until hopefully the game is won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I’m now torn with this one. Before I’d be happy to see many rested today give ourselves the best opportunity for Thursday, but I just can’t see us overturning it and winning in that heat as they’ll be better and we’ll not be as good. So now I’m thinking full strength tomorrow is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_1874 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Strongest team possible from the start, whilst we have a massive game on Thursday, 1/2 or 3 points could be the difference between 3rd and 4th come the end of the season. This is a game we should be winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would and I won't throw in the towel yet I’d take a one off loss (as long as we trounce them the other 2/3 games) if it meant making the group stages. But I’m just being realistic. They will be better next week. We’re away from home playing in 30 degree heat. We won’t be as good. So unless we’re clinical and they’re wasteful, then we’re not going through. Mind they’ve got up to 4 players to come back into their side, including Samatta and Ozdoev who I picked alongside Zivkovic and Konstantelias as the ones who we need to fear. And Konstantelias will have a better game over there I’m sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshed Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 With our away record we are not good enough to rest players as some on here are saying.

Only thing I might be thinking about is players in our team that are more used to playing in hot climates - may want to think about them more for Thursday.
