paranoid android Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Tricky game, this, so we'll have to be as close to full strength as possible. No Ginelly for us, and it may still be too soon for Naismith and Haring to start games, but maybe not. Gordon Smith - Halkett - Popescu - Kingsley Lee - Halliday - Irving Walker Wighton - Boyce Subs: Stewart, Brandon, Haring, White, Naismith, Henderson, Moore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a hunch Walker might start on the bench today, with Moore starting. Tricky looking game regardless though. Hopefully an early goal to settle us down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that our current options mean we'll go with the midfield diamond, and although it worked in the second halves against Dundee and Hibs, it remains to be seen how effective it'll be against a team that will probably sit in. Not ideal given that Neilson made a big thing of building the squad around width and pace in pre-season. I'd expect Haring and Naismith to start in place of Irving and Walker. I'm sure Neilson has said they'll each start one of the games against Inverness/East Fife and I doubt it'll be the one on the plastic pitch. Walker is also carrying a knock I think. I'm expecting this game to be a bit of a comedown from the semi-final. 1-0 Hearts (bald Wighton). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Any news about the legion of injured players we have? Any due back?Doran, Vincent and Sutherland should make the bench.Doran played a bounce game midweek and is still a good bit off the pace with no preseason.Game too soon to start for Vincent and Sutherland, expect them to play in the Cup games though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Good strong team for us. Shows the depth in our squad at this level that we can out that out and Walker, Ginnelly and Roberts can't even make the bench. Good to see Berra fit as well even as cover. Think that'll be a diamond with 2 up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Disppointed we haven't kept a clean sheet. Sitting far too deep. Our defence isn't what it should be yet. Raith have some goal difference now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Not sure what to make of that. Hearts weren't anything great and seemed to be playing within themselves. Seemed like they could go up a couple of gears if they could be bothered. That said we didn't exactly threaten for most of the game. Pretty uninspiring all round TBH. Glad I got to see it but also glad I never paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The positives were that we won and we put a few nice moves together, including both goals, but otherwise it wasn't a great performance. The formation didn't really work and the lack of width meant players were turning inside and playing it back too often. Inverness were decent and pressed us well but didn't really create many clear cut chances until the goal, which made it an uncomfortable finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 We're very stodgy in the middle of the park if we play Haring and Halliday - neither can go by a player and while their passing is OK it's safe mainly. One of those two beside Irving or Lee most weeks would be better balanced. If we're playing a top level team in the cups it's a different story. Quite a few of the players are a bit too relaxed knowing we have the quality to win games without being at full pelt. Slack touches and over confidence still there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tackle Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 We still lack pace imo. Could do with one more forward and a central midfielder with pace, if we can get rid of a few in January 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
