skygod Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Home-grown XI again: Lyle, McLevy, Lidington, Dempsie, Clark, A Wilson, Paterson, McLean, Cameron, Morrison, Whittaker SUBS: McDonald, P Queen, Barr, Campbell, Taylor Queen Most likely explanation imo is that English-based players have been given time off during the international break. Then that Stephenson is preparing team for Youth Cup. Least likely is that Cobain, Webb, Bojaj etc have been shown the door.

Scouser2 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Just as well we have a fully fit team and don't suffer injuries......and our squad players do not need to keep match fit/sharp.....! would be good to get some official confirmation of who is still at the club ...likes of Green etc.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 According to his tweets, Green has been watching Ossett Albion the last couple of weeks. Unclear whether his loan has been terminated or if it's just a temporary break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the rules have changed since last season, cross-border loans can't be terminated outside a transfer window. Hence our need for special dispensation to sign Mark Ridgers on emergency loan whilst Devlin McKay was kicking his heels at Derby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al j Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 The Development side are being coached to play in the same style as the first team - long ball kick out from the back. At no time did the full backs go wide or centre backs move into space to receive the ball from the keeper. Definitely back to the Johnston/Clark and then Locke style of play. Morrison and McLean showed some good touches, and the centre forward Innes Cameron looks like he has something to work with. His running and style bears a remarkable similarity to Paul di Giacomo. However, overall very disappointing, no wingers and little to get enthusiastic about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the English lads have been allowed back to their families it doesn't make sense to drag them back for a development game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) May well be that some or indeed all of them have been allowed to go back down south for a week or two.Still seems a bit strange for none to have featured in the last 2 under 20s games however.Also thought the likes of Addison might have got some game time for fitness.

piffer Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I appreciate that they are young lads in a new environment etc. IMO though you earn rewards like time off. These lads haven't featured in the last two development matches and haven't exactly been standouts when they featured before. Why should they be granted time off and the Scottish youngsters playing and making an impression not be. Having said that I think the likely explanation is preparation for the youth cup match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiepies Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Doubt the English boys will be back.They were signed to play or challenge for a place in the 1st team not the development team.Not good enough for the 1st team and wasting our time and there's playing in the development league up here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
