For that reason I'd leave one of them on the bench to come on for the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are nearly done recruitment, then we need more games to get Froxylias, Haber and McKee fit. We will also need Harris, O'Hara and Sheps fit Inca se everything goes south. There have been bounce games, or reserve friendlies, for the last three weeks and there's another one this week. I suspect that will continue throughout the season as there are less matches in the new Reserve League than there were in the U20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 This is going to be a tough game for us I think and we'll need to play a lot better than we did during pre-season to get anything. I'd go with; Fasan McGhee Muirhead Dallison Robson Petra TOE Sammut Greenwood Lewis Haber Subs: Mitchell, Harrison, Kidd, Sammut, Brough, Froxylias, Mackin Attendance: 4365Sammut so good you have him twice.

Russ Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Mackin more than deserves a start on Saturday; more so than Lewis imo. I’d go with him and Haber.This.It would be harsh as f**k to drop Mackin after the way he played yesterday. It wouldn’t surprise me if Lewis was wide left again with Greenwood still used as more of an impact sub for a few weeks until he gets up to full fitness.I’d also be having Harrison and Dallison as our first choice partnership. Aye Harrison is slower than Aero but he’s a lot stronger and his passing is far, far superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBairn Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Must be injured then, or he'd be at the same level as everyone else, fitness wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say it's harsh on Mackin to drop him but then want to drop Muirhead who's been one of our best performers during pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 We should go with a 3-5-2, IMO. Lewis Kidd at right wing back. That’s the formation that’s been working for us in the second half of last season and 4-4-2 clearly isn’t cutting it.FasanMcGhee-Harrison-DallisonKidd-TOE-Sammut-BroughPetraHaber-Mackin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 How can you say it's harsh on Mackin to drop him but then want to drop Muirhead who's been one of our best performers during pre season.Well because he’s not been one of our best players. Certainly not in my opinion anyway.I do like Aero but I feel like Harrison/Dallison partnership will be our best. Gives us 2 big, strong centre-backs who are comfortable on the ball and can pass the ball out from the back which looks like something we’ll be trying to do more of this season.

Newbornbairn Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Muirhead can pass the ball out from the back. Not to our players mind you and mostly straight out of the park but he can pass the ball out from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haber has pace, at least over five yards, though injuries have slowed him a bot, and Mackin has shown that he's not just a one dimensional lump. I'd be happy enough to see them up against a pair of dumplings in defence. 2 hours ago, Bainsfordbairn said: There have been bounce games, or reserve friendlies, for the last three weeks and there's another one this week.

Given that both Dallison and Harrison have been heard telling Aero to fucking concentrate or f**k off, it seems clear who they are comfortable playing alongside. And that counts for a lot, players always play better when they have confidence in those alongside them. McGhee Dallison Harrison and Robson may well be the default for the season. Can we sub Aero on to take penalties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Looking at how many headers Inverness lost to Hearts it would be stupid to start with anything other than Petra/Greenwood on the wings with Haber/Mackin up top. The whole point of the squad this season was so we could adapt to different teams, let’s see that in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
