DMCs Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Really hope we get to see Charlie McCann start here. Perhaps even Zac Lovelace coming off the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I’d want to see all of those youngsters starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Not sure what Gibson will field. He really is on a hiding to nothing. I don't normally like to see us sitting in but I think it makes sense tonight. Is Paul McKay allowed to play? As poor as he's been I'd have him in. Not sure if Morrison is fit but I'd start him as well. Wilson likely won't play so it makes my lineup unrealistic really but something as close to this hopefully and we might keep the score down. GK - Currie LB - Quitongo CB - East CB - Morrison CB - McKay CB - D.McKay CB - McKenna CB - Hendrie RB - Gibson DM - Wilson DM - McGrory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK - Currie LB - Quitongo CB - East CB - Morrison CB - McKay CB - D.McKay CB - McKenna CB - Hendrie RB - Gibson DM - Wilson DM - McGrory Is that the good old tried and tested "Levein" formation? Genuinely though, what does a manager do in a situation like this? You're early into the season, the new defence is shipping goals aplenty (4 to a nomadic Clyde side and 3 to an albeit possibly resurgent Falkirk side) and you have to go toe to toe with a squad oozing the sort of quality (even below the normal first XI choices) that is just unimaginable at uber-diddy level. You've scanned the news headlines this morning to see that Bournemouth and The Tayside Arabs have sacked their managers after 9-0 drubbings at the hands of "galactico" squads (granted the EPL is an entirely different and parallel universe to this one). You don't want your players completely demoralised and traumatised for an important league game on the coming Saturday and you also want to keep your job ... so in this real world you'd have to think that Gibson is going to try to shitfest his way through this and hope for an 85th minute breakaway goal which will maybe bring some respectability to the scoreline at say 5-1. So aye, @19QOS19's team may not be that far off the mark ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK_Queens Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Yeah avoiding a total scudding tonight would be nice. I am very worried. I’d go for something like: GK - Currie Defence - LB: Hendrie. CB: East; D McKay; McKenna. RB: Gibson Midfield - CM: McGrory; Todd; Cochrane ‘Forwards’ - Connelly just in behind Paton Keeping it to 3 or less would be very reasonable.

Monkey Tennis Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Somebody asked me yesterday if I'd take a 6-0 defeat there and then. Crazy as it sounds, the answer was yes. I think the fact that Celtic put 9 past someone the other day, has made me more fearful that Rangers might want to match or surpass it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think we've got lucky that there's an Old Firm match at the weekend. GVB would be mental to field a strong side tonight. He may have been more tempted to put more first team players in tonight if they had a weaker team coming up. Praying that theory is correct more than anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devine the oldest of them at 19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying that theory is correct more than anything. Yep. Add in the big shiny ECL group games into the Ibrox fixture list over the next couple of months and GVB would be mad not to use some squad players in this one. Should still be enough to see us off comfortably though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be Jack and King with Devine at RB - that way it's only one out of position player. It may not be that bad of a team really: McGregor Devine Jack King Ridvan Arfield Davis Kamara Matondo Ure Sakala 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Keep an eye out for Paul Nsio if he comes on tonight. Another one of those South London boys who grew up playing cage football, like Bassey, Aribo and Kamara. Has the technique to match it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, given he kept our best player out for a couple of games after his stupid red card then I'm glad to see McKay get the same treatment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
