Paco Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I think it’s important to keep the five in defence regardless of opposition. Just leave Miller/Macca out, nothing to be gained in risking them. Munro Watson McKay S.Anderson Bene Armstrong Spencer Matthews Dingwall Allan G.Anderson McGurn, Davidson, Tait, Victoria, Smith, Bowie, Baird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong Baird *Watson if Miller is still injured. Miller and MacDonald are both doubtful apparently so it could be Watson and Armstrong out wide, or we could bring Davo in and put McKay at right wing back.... * Or we could go back to a back 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I have a feeling Miller and MacDonald will be risked. Munro. McKay, SAndo, Bene Dingwall, Matthews, Spencer, Armstrong Tait GAndo & Baird. Subs. McGurn., Watson, Davo, Smith, Bowie, Victoria, Allan. Plenty of impact options off the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Will watch second half on telly after getting back from the kids swimming club. Generally, Friday football would be fine for me, but not tonight. Hopefully we can do the business and march on to the semis of Scotland’s best cup competition. The one everyone wants to win. Maybe beat Sevco colts in the final this time with another John Baird winner. Who are Elgin’s best players?

Not sure on his ability, but Russell Dingwall is our very own Tony Dingwall’s brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Why not play Armstrong at right wing back? We're at home, against a side from a lower division, in a competition that barely matters. Use the wingbacks as an attacking force that also defends, rather than the other way around. That's why there's three other defenders behind them!Oh look, turns out I am worked up about it. But FFS, John. What does it take to stop playing McKay at right wing back?The first time he ambles up to the half way line and then shuffles the ball sideways to Spencer or Matthews, who's had no other option but to come short, I'm going to scream. Scream!Also, we've got four big centre halfs on the pitch, so we'll definitely concede a headed goal. Probably from a set piece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo should be sitting with McKay in his spot and Armstrong, like you say, on the wing. I understand Davo’s a senior player with lots of knowledge and experience, but he’s also a mental hothead that can shit the game for us. He should learn and sit four games for his two game suspension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Made the right choice staying in the house for this, I think. McKay at wing back is a bit of a blow and if Elgin are to get anything tonight I’d anticipate it’ll be from that. He was fine at centre half on Saturday but a wing back he ain’t. Good to see Allan and Victoria back in the squad. Baird finished the game on Saturday strongly, if he can keep having that sort of impact we’ll look pretty strong going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Good move, that. Great awareness from Baird to head the ball back across the goal and big Ziggy there to stick it away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Pretty dreadful defending from Elgin. Raith should coast to this now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
