Doctor Sanchez Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I had the fear last weekend. Was proven to be correct. Still feeling a bit jittery about this game. 1-1 as we've angered the footballing gods with the petty, B&WA-esque, infighting and bickering thats been sneaking on to this forum over the last few weeks. I've got tickets to the Calcutta Cup game this weekend. I'll be full of drink, and back up the road. First half saints, FT draw as I'll have taken my eye off the ball from 1600hrs.

mylothedog Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'd put Mcshane back in and go back to the team that were strolling it with Magennis wide. Hippolyte Donati and Sutton on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuits Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'd put Mcshane back in and go back to the team that were strolling it with Magennis wide. Hippolyte Donati and Sutton on the bench. Yeah me too. Think mcshane was very unlucky to be dropped and I’ve not seen anything from Flynn to make me think he’s better than him.Not convinced magennis is better than mcshane playing through the middle either. I’d go back to the original 11 that mostly got us in this position:SamsonSmithDavisBairdEckersleyMagennisMcShaneMcginnMorgan (tho I think we are due a bit more from him)SmithRiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddist Monk Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 McShane was dropped as he needed a rest, according to Ross, so surely after that rest you'll expect him back. In the sense that I agree Magennis is better in the middle, and out wide I feel Flynn is a better wide player, I think the addition of Flynn and Hyppolite hasn't resolved the issue of who to play in our MF/RM positions, if anything simply extended the problem. Not that I think Flynn or Hyppolite are bad additions, btw. Why don't we try dropping Morgan? I mean I know how that sounds, but after the Aberdeen game and the Celtic confirmation he's not necessarily been playing badly just that he's not near the heights of earlier on in the season. If Magennis can play right, I'm sure he could - he and Morgan regularly swapped sides in previous games, this would allow you to line up with the midfield of (left to right) Magennis, McShane, McGinn, Flynn. With Morgan, Hippolyte and Donati on the bench, allowing Ross to be really flexible regarding changes to his midfield during the game. Previous Brechin games have been close as I mentioned earlier in the thread, and I feel it is that midfield area that will be the difference. Brechin sit back and hope to get us on the break. I think their "star" man (Laing? Can't remember his name - sure it begins with an L) so controlling that middle third will be vitally important.

NorthBank Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We have 11 games to go and a team that has a proven winning mentality even when not playing well. Now is not the time to experiment unless we start losing or have forced personnel changes. Get McShane back in, drop Flynn and let the other new recruits wait their turn on the bench. The guys that have got us this far are the ones that have shown they have what it takes to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordecai Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I've missed one home league game this season (Dumbarton) and we lost. I'm also missing today's game through sickness. I'd just like to apologise in advance and congratulate Brechin on finally breaking their duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we now have two players who are quite adept at playing right wing yet we have problems filling the position? Why don’t we drop the whole team while we are at it because every single one of them played better earlier in the season. Before Livingston we went 10(?) games unbeaten and now we need to make various changes? Unthinkable to drop Morgan, he gives so much to the team both attacking and defending. He is a terrific outball at any time in the match. I think Hippolyte looked good last week when he came on. I would be tempted to put him in for Flynn however don’t think Flynn has done anything wrong to deserve to be dropped. I wouldn’t be in any rush to bring McShane back in, I don’t see anything he brings that Magennis can’t give us in midfield. We should be as attacking as possible today, Morgan happens to be our best threat going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Would be half tempted to start Gary Mac today - mainly for his threat at set-pieces rather than his defensive qualities. EDIT: Great minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the "drop the whole team", that's just unnecessary melodrama. I am talking about rotation and resting, not wholesale changes. 5 minutes ago, buddie06smfc said: Unthinkable to drop Morgan, he gives so much to the team both attacking and defending.

I disagree about McShane/Magennis though, different players who offer different things. Neither of us are Ross, so it's all conjecture, but I really don't see too much problem with shuffling the pack when we're playing the weakest team in the league.

Lex Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 HT 1-0 Should be more ahead really. Bit of fortune about the first goal, keeper OG after free kick hitting the bar. Then the penalty. Don’t get how Davis doesn’t take it, given he took and scored our last penalty. McShane’s is saved naturally. We’re well on top and Brechin aren’t offering much of anything. Need that second goal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
