liam_barnett Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Really fear a thumping for this one although we do have a good cup record up at Dens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Team I'd go for Bain Irvine Konrad Benedictus Kerr Davidson McAllister Roberts Stewart Boyle MacDonald Subs: Letheren, McPake, Harkins, McGowan, Wighton, McGinn and Tankulic. Unused: McBride, Thomson and Dyer Wouldn't be starting McPake or McBride (think we should save McPake for the league games and McBride was pretty fucked today). I'd get Wighton on for a good spell as well but only from the bench considering he played the full 90 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Any Rovers fan heading up to this, I take my hat off to you! Can't see anything but a Dundee win by at least 3 goals. I'll be heading up...but really not sure why.. The only player I can see scoring for us as he's the only player that's had 5 decent competitive games out of 5 for us is Ryan Conroy. Hopefully Calum Elliot's back for this but I doubt it if he will with him not even making the bench today after being on the bench last week. People really need to stop looking at Nade as some god-like gift. Yesterday, he showed that he isn't championship level, there was once he was through on goal and all he had to do was square it to Anderson and instead got a nose-bleed, slowed down the play, waited til the defence caught up and tripped over the ball. There was another time in which he managed to squirm free of any defenders and all he had to do was put his foot right through the ball and it was a guaranteed goal, yet again, he tried to take his 20 touches, and ended up tripping over the ball again. Elliot and Stewarts the way forward IMO. Nade, I feel can be far more effective as a 70th minute sub, he can't last 90 minutes yet he gets 90 minutes every week. I hope I'm wrong but predict a 4-1 defeat here with Conroy getting ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a hash of a few similar openings against Alloa as well through standing on the ball etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 You need to treat Nade right and he'll give it all back. Conroy to score a free kick is a stick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Team I'd go for Bain Irvine Konrad Benedictus Kerr Davidson McAllister Roberts Stewart Boyle MacDonald Subs: Letheren, McPake, Harkins, McGowan, Wighton, McGinn and Tankulic.

Like the look of that side, freshens things up, and gives fringe players a chance to shine, while giving 1st picks a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 You need to treat Nade right and he'll give it all back. Conroy to score a free kick is a stick on. We would actually need to get within 30 yards of goal first. We should really just put out a Fife cup style team for this game and write it off.

K.T Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'd definitely like to see Bain given a start in goals. Hopefully we'll see Cammy Kerr and Phil Roberts involved too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andershen Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Team I'd go for Bain Irvine Konrad Benedictus Kerr Davidson McAllister Roberts Stewart Boyle MacDonald I would give the tank a start. The more confidence and time he gets the better, another home cup game without the pressure of the league is perfect in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chateau Lafite Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Team tomorrow - Bain, Irvine, Benedictus, Davidson, Dyer, Thomson, Ferry, McGowan, Harkins, Tankulic and Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd be tempted to play our strongest team as we haven't had a good cup run for a while. We just played our strongest team with covering players all over the place, including cover in McBride which then had to be covered by Davidson!! Definitely an opportunity to balance out the fitness of the squad. Stewart hasn't played in 2 and I think boyle deserves an opportunity to start, Roberts being back lends itself to this.
