chrystaf Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 8 minutes ago, OmiyaHearts said: Our centre midfield changes yet again. Some signings we've made there, a CB is getting in ahead of 4 or 5 mids. I think Denholm / Sibbick is the weakest combination we could put out. It needs addressed. Yes, there's still no indication we've got the midfield sorted. Puts a lot of pressure on young Denholm. But he's been impressive so far ,so let's just see how things go.

OmiyaHearts Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I hope your right but a defender and a 20yr old in midfield, while Devlin, Halliday & Grant are on the bench? It doesn't make sense but will hold off judgement til 5pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Lyall Cameron on the bench. No surprise they'll be setting up to frustrate us and try and steal something later on.

longmalx Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think the team makes sense. I’d like to see Shankland up top, Lowry just behind with Oda right and Vargas left. I fear it may be Vargas up top with Shankland behind and Lowry on the left. Trying Offiah makes sense and I don’t mind the balance of Sibbick / Denholm although agree we should never have been in a position to fielding that pair. It’s another slap in the face for Grant mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just my opinion, maybe using the word embarrassing was a tad harsh. But I feel we need to play our best players at all times from the start, we have 5 subs, try and get the job done instead of having to possibly bring players on to save the day.

Mikey1874 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Might be one of the main tests for Scottish teams. Can they keep Lowry quiet.
