Les Westander of County Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Sounded like Motherwell put on a good show v the Govan-based team. County beat Dundee. Yet both can't win, so what will be the outcome this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Absolute stick on home win here and the only question is how it happens, whether its in regulation time or on penalties but this is a tie we are never winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 You guys have Moult back, he usually enjoys himself when up against us, I'm hopeful of a win but I'm never too confident against 'well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I've never been to the Global Energy Stadium before so where's the best place to park?It's written in the stars for Fisher to score the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of. He's certainly there in body but did you see him at the weekend? He's a mile off the pace and only just working his way back to match fitness. There's probably a decent argument for starting Fisher ahead of him at the moment. Other than that our team's pretty straightforward and seems to pick itself. There's plenty of scope for flexibility too as we can switch from a 352 to 442 without changing any personnel. The subs available are pretty much like for like. Carson Kipré Heneghan Dunne Tait Cadden McHugh Bigirimana Frear Tanner Moult/Fisher Mild concern that tactically we're set up to get the ball out wide and load crosses into the box as I'd think that Davies would have a lovely old time dealing with that. If we're able to get Tanner more involved centrally on the edge of the box then we might have a bit more joy. We've been creating plenty of good chances but not converting them. Our record up there isn't that bad recently but with the turnover of bodies in our team who knows how we'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I've never been to the Global Energy Stadium before so where's the best place to park? I'm driving up to this, so looking for an answer to this too. I've only been the once to Dingwall, isn't there a car park at the stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a bit quicker when it comes to leaving Dingwall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 There's parking at the stadium, shouldn't be a problem midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 As for the game, hopefully Birgirmana is back. Would like to see a more settled 4-4-2. CarsonTait Kipre HeneghanDunne Cadden BigiMcHughFrear Fisher Newell Moult was unfit, and shite, against Rangers so I'd have him on the bench, and give him the last half hour if need be. Going for us to score late and nick it 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Westander of County Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'm hopeful that this season we may be able to defend, so moderately optimistic for County. And to do the midfield stuff. Could even score too. Liam Boyce has been replaced by ... everyone else trying a bit harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 As for the game, hopefully Birgirmana is back. Fingers crossed.I don't know if the extra responsibility affected McHugh yesterday but that was probably his worst game for us.If we make as many chances as yesterday and don't blow them I'm confident we can progress.

ropy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Gambled on a busines trip away before the draw, delighted with an away tie against Ross County, wouldn't have made that mid week anyway. This will be the game where we gauge ourselves for the season. We don't win this cup so we have matched my expectations already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 According to Robinson's pre-match Frear's struggling. Obvious replacements would be MacLean in a 442 or Plummer at wing back if we go with 3 at the back. Bigi's back in the squad as well it seems. So all good on that front.

well fan for life Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 In the pre-season games Bigi & Tanner looked really good passing the ball around the edge of the box. Will be good to see them playing together in this game. I'd like to see more of Fisher. He may not be scoring, but he's a good player for linking things up. I reckon he'll come good in the end.

Desp Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 If Frear is out, I'd go with Tanner wide left in a 4-4-2. Get another striker in the side. It's a cup game. Why not just go for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 County played 433 away to Dundee, but with Jim O'Brien and Craig Curran back I have a feeling County will go 442, with Curran and Schalk up top. Not that they have much of a partnership yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
