Stellaboz Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 How many over age players are allowed to play?! Jackson Longridge? We've absolutely robbed Bradford with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Reserves won 2-1. Fair play to the young lads - I’d have expected our starting 11 to struggle against a team as strong as Livi’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if any of those guys that started for Livi are available on loan, any of them would improve our squad. They would, at the very least, add more than adequate cover/competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Is it two or three more domestic loans we're allowed? Surely there'll be a few Premiership players getting told their doomed to the reserves and fancy steam-rolling League 1 with Fife's Massive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one likely out of that whole team is Longridge, or the really young boys like Che Reilly, Kieran Wilson or Lucas Stenhouse. Hamilton, 2nd choice keepr Cancar, rotation CB Boyes, just back from long term injury and getting fitness Fitzwater, our best starting CB Brandon, 2nd choice RB Penrice, 1st/2nd choice LB Shinnie, rotation CM Anderson, just back from injury, getting fitness, 2nd top goalscorer in the Premiership last season Stephen Kelly, just signed, rotation CM Goncalves, not long signed and getting fitness up Konovalov is 3rd choice keeper and Bitsindou is a weird one. He's been capped for Congo and played most of our league cup games at CB despite being a CDM. Hasn't been in the team much at all - possibly the only other option? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of which, ours must be pretty stinking given McPake was fine with giving some youth players a shot at Dundee. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd has played a lot, Allan was getting games before his injury, McCann is a regular... and the under 19s play Friday nights which isn't ideal but Tod got game time in the League Cup, didn't he? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan, Todd and McCann aren't really youth players any longer. Younger, aye, but all over 20, and Allan will be 23 in a few months. McPake was giving lads at 17 and 18 a shot in the Championship, but out youth players are barely getting a sub apperance. Not expected them to be starting, but to barely even be getting 5 or so minutes seems telling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expected them to be starting, but to barely even be getting 5 or so minutes seems telling. How many do we have, where do they play and who would they replace? Fenton - LB, and Edwards has been playing well. Currently out on loan. Rennie and Beagley - midfielders, haven't really been seen since preseason Young - centre back, only 16, behind Breen, Bene, Fisher and probably Hamilton and Comrie in the pecking order Tod - midfielder, only 16 but seems to be ahead of Rennie in the queue, has made the bench in the league despite playing Friday nights and played in the League Cup Sutherland - forward, only 16, fifth choice at best but has been on the bench. Haven't been ahead in games to give him a run out. So we don't actually have that many in the squad, we haven't been ahead and comfortable in games to bring them on and many of them have at least been on the bench and so have been involved in the squad (even though in many cases they'd played less than 24 hours previously). If I was the manager, I'd have probably used Tod more and brought him on for Chalmers or Todd when they've been struggling but we're top of the league and unbeaten having had many very tight games go right to the death so I'm not going to write off our youth section altogether. Beating a strong Livi team in the Reserve Cup is surely a better indicator? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
