2020 Scottish Cup Winners v Ross County


Recommended Posts

Not quite sure if County can be classed as one of these 'sit in and sh1tfest it opponents', but if they are, it will be our first test against those tactics since the Killie home tie.

Let's see  if the new found optimism means we can get back to finding a way to unpick these defences, as we generally looked clueless in doing so in the four home matches prior to Celtic - as well as the Paisley game.

Fatigue from playing 300 minutes in six days won't help either, but at least there are a few options to freshen things up in most areas of the park.  Presume Ojo is still out?  If so Campbell should likely  be preferred to McGeouch, who still looks like he has some way to go to get any kind of sharpness.

No need to worry about County's defence. We did have a defender but he didn't survive the Livi game last week.

4-4-2? No Bryson again? Injured on Wednesday and they've not mentioned it or thrown a wobbler?

Good to see faith kept in Deano after Wednesday.

Aye, Bryson’s comebacks would seem to have been repeatedly mismanaged one way or another.

Little surprised to see Kennedy on the bench instead of McLennan but could be down to fatigue as much as anything.

Surprised to see McGinn hasn’t been rested after the amount of minutes he has played recently, but perhaps shows how much trust McInnes has in Hedges at the moment. 

Kennedy being on the bench will just be fatigue-related. I’d have liked to have seen more of Hernandez by now, but Logan was seemingly good on Wednesday and only played 75 minutes anyway. Be nice to see him get some minutes from the bench, though, if we have the luxury.

Bryson’s only fit for the glue factory now. What a waste of a wage.

If he's not injured then you can imagine there's been a row. Can't imagine a player at the level he played was happy being hooked at half time on Wednesday.
