ecto Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Problem is unless you play a 3 in midfield you have to pick between Swankie and Pongo imo. It's not a bad problem to have though as both are quality players. Eta If you look at the 6 replacements yesterday most of them could argue for a starting place. Also Doris on the bench.Could do this if Thomson is unavailable and play 3 at the back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 i thought pongo was back to his best yesterday his ball for mckennas goal yesterday was class. and now we have doris getting back to full fitness not match fit tho as of yet when he is who makes way. as dc said in his intervievw He hit a 40 yard pass to linn with his left foot which was inch perfect too.Think little deserves a shout too. Doesnt always get mentioned but he was absolutely class yesterday and his effort & commitment to the club in general is outstanding [emoji122] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Get Kader out and McKenna on right coming in at back post winning Bobby Linn crosses and knocking it down for Pongo and Waldo and could play both McCord and Swanks.McKenna could do Kaders shift and offer more going forward in my opinion. LinnWhatley Swanks McKenna McCord Wallace Doesn’t really matter if McKenna drifted inside when we had ball anyway as Thomson is up and doon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 ...and then there’s goal machine DD. Still, good problems to have, but on the highlights McCord looked class.And are you sure Whatley and not Graham? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Good interview with McCord on the YouTube channel. Explains a bit why he maybe wasn’t putting football first last season (he does admit that it isn’t an excuse). Would love to see him back playing regularly, a joy to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with the draw, and would definitely like to see us give 3/4 fringe players some game time again however I do feel the further we go in the competition, the more serious we should take it. At this stage I'd make a few less changes than against Elgin/ Annan, and if we got to quarters/ further I'd like to see us move towards players our strongest team as the chance for us to get to a semi-final/ final doesn't come around very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
