DA Baracus Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) 17th October, East End Park, kick off 15.00. This is it, the first league game of the season! We'll have Mayo and McInroy back from international duty. With the exception of Lewis Martin, we'll have pretty much a full strength squad. Our second half performance last night was promising. With, potentially, another 90 minutes on Tuesday, the players will be more up to speed and hopefully clicking further. ICT are usually decent. Robertson has shown to be a top manager with them over the last few seasons. I genuinely have no idea how they will be, but would definitely predict 'decent'. Injuries and COVID aside, I reckon we'll go 4-4-2 with the following: OFW Comrie Waton Murray Edwards Dow McInroy Whittaker Thomas McManus O'Hara Edited October 11, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 That’s the team I would go for, possibly bring on McCann is O’Hara gives another shit show. Martin on the bench as well, along with Mayo instead of five keepers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Impressed and also not surprised at the work put in by O'Hara and McManus the other night. Exactly the kind of pressure from forwards that could result in some defenders making a mistake. Thankfully we have Brad Mckay and Danny Devine at the back.

They've had streams available for recent games I'm sure so we will hear later this week. I guess it's a good thing us being away from home as it gives the club an extra week to (hopefully) sort out our streaming service. They've been pretty quiet on that unfortunately which is a little concerning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 They did live streaming for ex-pats all the way up until last season was stopped. Only issue I can imagine would be the servers coping with the added numbers. No idea about this sort of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably be interested in signing up for this game but if it's more than £12, I'm out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper than going to the game though, won't be cold and suffering a long trip back home after a spanking from Dom Thomas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think putting money into the away fixtures with PPV is important to prevent clubs going to the wall. I'll be "attending" them all whereas I'd normally pick and choose. Its not like there a million other options for you on a Saturday afternoon currently either. TV on, feet up, beer in hand and not out in the freezing cauld. Whats not tae like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay more than £20 to watch my own club on a computer. If clubs are going to charge that kind of price for a stream that could well be unreliable I'll stay updated online and then watch the highlights afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair comment in the present crisis and I'll contribute. At this time of year I would probably attend the match and travel, gate money etc would be a lot more than whatever the streaming charge will be. I'm sure many more Caley fans will be like minded. Mind you I'm sure there will be a few wet pillows in the Dunfermline area come Sunday morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think I'd be willing to part with 15 quid providing its reliable, me and the wife would both go the game which is £40 in gate fees before I've taken into account I'm a chubby ride who likes a cider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This is a good game to measure any improvement from last year. Certainly the team looks better overall, but there are questions if we have the same goal threat after Nisbet leaving. Murray getting a double last week is good sign and hopefully guys from midfield chipping in will make up the difference. ICT are normally the same standard regardless of who leaves or stays, so we know what we are getting here. Going for Pars win by 1-0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Going by our last two games, I think I'll skip the first half and just starting watching after half time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 A fixture we usually struggle to get a result in. When Dow, Thomas and McManus all click they look frightening. It's definitely a thing to look forward to this season. We now have, I would say anyway, a more reliable and solid defence compared to the previous two seasons. If we're serious about challenging for promotion, this is the exact game we need to be winning in all honesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
