Anthony Fitzgerald Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 New line-up... Thomson Muirhead Gasparotto Grant Leahy Craigen Taiwo McKee Sibbald Austin McHugh Rogers, Kidd, Gallagher, Kerr, Aird, Baird, Miller Loved 10 out of that 11, but why do people still persist on McHugh as a starter? Starting to do my nut in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hippolyte getting cited is surely not that big a deal. It caused a sneaky win over your rivals, causing them to lose their heads over a meaningless game and he gets to have a wee rest before the playoffs. Worth It IMO.

Starting to do my nut in. McHugh a better finisher IMO. His goals have mostly been half chances he's taken through good positioning & runs off the defenders. In the midst of the Hyppogate debate, don't forget Baird had a really poor miss on Saturday when 1 on 1 with the gk. I'd def fancy McHugh to score if given a similar chance. I'd play him in front of Baird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id have had him on as a sub on Saturday tho I wouldnt be surprised if we started with Miller and Baird again, Id rather it was Baird and Austin but it will be Baird and A.Nother There maybe even a chance of the same starting 11 again on Saturday, I wouldnt be surprised tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Aye, it's not a disaster, if it happened in the last game of the season there'd be a bit of an uproar but as it is we should, no disrespect intended to QoTS and Dumbarton, have the players to get us through the next two games. i'd take NavyBlueArmy1876's team or swapping Baird for McHugh as Baird was decent last week. If we don't start Austin we need to start Aird at RW or Shepherd up front, we can't keep lining up with all of our pace on the bench, I'd be starting Austin in every game we can though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 So has he been given this ban because they deemed him to have dived? If that's the case then 2 games is pretty pathetic. Surely if they started dishing out a 5 game minimum suspension for simulation it would maybe solve the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily I don't buy into that especially when Paul Watson has a better ratio per starts Baird has been in my first eleven pretty much all season his workrate is unquestionable . However when Houston says he doesn't drop players they drop themselves and a striker doesn't score, or look like scoring in 8 or 9 games then it's time for him to come on as sub. McHugh came on against st mirren and scored with his first touch and took a minute to do what Baird hasn't done in weeks. I get the start argument but there comes a point when he has to start before baird. Like someone said earlier he's a better finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 For me, I don't think we've seen a partnership of McHugh & Fash up front yet and think it would be worth a try, especially as we'll be looking for our best pairing in the play off's.

I can't recall Russell ever being pulled up in front of a panel tbh. And I can't ever recall him diving to win us a penalty even though opposition fans promised us it would happen.

I can't recall him doing much of note against us either tbh, the odd goal here or there but nothing significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Surely it doesn't matter if your diving for a penalty, at the half way line or in your own box. Its all cheating surely.punishment should be the same . Funny how retrospective action only ever seems to happen when it's a penalty or red card incident though.
