Absolute Scenes Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Start Tagawa, Vargas, Devlin. Do not start Lowry or Boyce, keep them both as impacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably a bit of a gamble playing him against a streetwise mob such as Motherwell who know all the tricks in the book. Maybe Kingsley would be a better option.

Interesting comments from McAvoy about the possibilty of them reverting back to Naismith being the Head Coach now we are out of Europe. We have looked a different team this season compared to last in our style of play since McAvoy took the Head Coach role which was surrpising as I would have thought we would still have played the same way assuming Naismith was still running things but maybe not.

Scott980612 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 A few different team selections being posted. however , it’s pretty unanimous that Rowles drops out Players have dip in form but can’t have him starting anymore , too lightweight and error prone.

The club have brought this pressure on themselves. The common denominator in those home games was neither Rosenborg, PAOK, or Thistle sat in. The games we struggle in are the likes of Killie and Dundee when we have to break teams down. We are clueless in this department boring , turgid one pace stuff that allows teams to funnel back quickly and wait for our inevitable mistakes at the back.
