D'Jaffo 5,617 Report post Posted October 25 Still very early days for us and I’ve no idea how Morton have been doing either so f**k knows what to expect here. McCowan returns from suspension here and I think the support might be split as to whether he deserves to be put back in or not. I firmly believe he’s a real asset and we’d be doing more harm to our chances by leaving him out. Hopefully Zanatta is fit as well and maybe Houston can start as well.

Trogdor 1,413 Report post Posted October 25 I'm not sure who our best 11 is tbh. We have quite a few options. Is Walsh still out for this? I'm assuming Zanatta will be back. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of B A R P 158 Report post Posted October 25 Might be the best chance we get all year actually to predict what team Hopkin will put out... He looks wedded to the three at the back, so: --------------McAdams------------- ---Fjortoft---McLean---McGinty--- Salkeld-Jacobs-McAlister-Strapp --------Nesbitt----McPake--------- ----------------Orsi------------------- Ledger might come into the picture and Orsi did nothing on Saturday to keep his place, but that must be getting pretty close to our strongest line-up. Hope I'm not tempting fate, but McLean already looks more steady this year than he did last year... another year older; maybe the lockdown break was good for him. 1-1. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
North British 0 Report post Posted October 25 I’d be hoping Cameron keeps his place up top with Anderson . Zanatta (if fit) and Smithy on the flanks . Young Luke should be left to twiddle his thumbs until he grows up a bit . That’s twice he’s he’s left us a man down . 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't far off how I would play it, but would replace McLean with Ledger and move Fjortoft into the middle of the back three. Centre forward is the real worry, none of our strikers have looked like scoring in any of the games I've watched so far this season. Orsi probably the best of a poor bunch, as much for his fitness and physical presence than any real striking talent. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

callum-ayr 1,892 Report post Posted October 25 Sinisalo Houston Muirhead Baird Reading Miller Murdoch Chalmers Smith Anderson Innes Subs: Hare-Reid, Hewitt, Roscoe, Kerr, Zanatta, Moffat, McCowan Not sure how fit Houston is, really need to get Muirhead back at CB. Houston apparently looked good at RM when he came on yesterday, could maybe look at switching him and Miller. Fancy a 2-0 win here, Anderson at the double. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, only made four sub appearances last season and his only start this season was against Queen's Park, where he was bizarrely played through the middle rather than out wide. Hasn't shown anything but hasn't really had the opportunity to do so. Ray McKinnon actually released Andy Murdoch. Two years later we're dicking about with Cameron Blues in midfield. At least McPake being available again means that diddy will likely be dropped. Thank f**k there's no Muirhead this time. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoon 1,910 Report post Posted October 25 He’ll still find a way to not play Strapp. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madton 377 Report post Posted October 26 Anyone's guess how we will line up at the moment. Strapp should come back in which should give us a better balance and obvious quality over Muirhead. Still absolutely ridiculous that after 4 competitive games, we still have no sub keeper. I'm just waiting for a manager to set his team up to injure McAdams early doors by "accident" We have looked strong defensively which should give us confidence and Mcpake coming back helps. Ayr squad looks decent but think we can edge this 1-0. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rb123! 1,107 Report post Posted October 26 Unsure what way Kerr will set up for this one, we ended the Inverness games with a 3 at the back of Muirhead, Roscoe and Baird, with Reading and Houston on the wing, with Morton playing 3 at the back he may well set up like that however that'll restrict the wingers we can play. He might go with this. Sinisalo Muirhead-Baird-Roscoe Houston-Miller-Chalmers-Reading Smith Cameron-Anderson Or just go for something more normal Sinisalo Houston-Muirhead-Baird-Reading Chalmers-Murdoch Zanatta-Smith-Moffat/McCowan Anderson/Cameron 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't look far away tbh. I dunno which one he'll go for. I can see the attraction of 2 up top but not sure Kerr will go for it. It'll be interesting to see what he goes for. I wouldn't be surprised if its a bit like the Inverness game where we start with 1 and then switch to 2 if we need to.

It actually shows how strong a pool we now have especially with Walsh still to come back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thereisalight.. 570 Report post Posted October 26 I reckon we’ll win this one. I’m never confident but I think we’ll win 0-2. Anderson and Cameron with the goals. Big grudge match with these guys now due to Tisder running over one of our stewards last season 🤡 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
