chubbs Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Don't think we'll see too many changes... McKenzie will probably miss out so we can bring in Pinnock or Haunstrup. Either Power or Dicker might drop out and bring Kiltie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRonFaeTheQueenVic Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I hope Waters doesn't read this forum. He's finally fought his way into the team, had a good game v Celtic but most people want him straight back out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would start him against a former side and sub him if/ when he starts to tire. He’s almost 37 and probably one of the fittest and most talented players at the club , spare me all this crap about resting players after 2 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t think there’s too much in the fact that people want to see the likes of Haunstrup and McGowan play. Both have come in with good reputations and sought after by other clubs. Fans want to see new signings play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's any harm on Waters, but if Haunstrup is better then it would be good to have him in there sooner rather than later. Explaining it as a bit of midweek game squad rotation could be a canny bit of management to get a look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You play and keep Forrest and all quiet then you start the next game. The natural order will establish over time. Whatever that is. No preferential treatment. I’d like to see the new players but If that takes until the bet Fred cause we getting results with current line up then great. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is fit for the next game. Don't burn him out. Two games in 4 days when your 36 is not the same as when your 26. Might be three games in a week if he plays wed/sat.

TheShark Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Got to admit, I forgot about Tshibola when doing my team. Can't be arsed changing it but yes I'd play him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker71 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 For me id be tempted to rest Burke too, but only if pinnock is fit to give an alternative. Were solid enough but need more creativity or at least something to get through or behind teams with. But I'd also not make wholesale changes, a few for squad rotation makes sense, anything else is a big risk. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWnnnnnn! Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 17 hours ago, Beaker71 said: Pinnock OR Brophy for Burke who ran himself into the ground and Haunstrup for Rory and then Kiltie replacing waters and haunstrup slotting into LB. Burke did look knackered when replaced, probably best to take care of him as a bad injury could be the end of his playing days. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly yes he is in superb shape, but he is 36 and we need to manage him to make sure he can play as long as possible. Would be nice for him to go on as long as and be as effective as Giggs. Plus giving Kabamba some support after his efforts on Sunday is also sensible.

From what I've heard, both weren't fit enough and that's led to Waters/Millen getting their chance (and taking it) Both positions are Millens/Waters to lose IMO and up to the other two to take their chance if/when they get one just like Millen/Waters have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition for places is such a brilliant thing after basically having one starting eleven last year. Sounds like strong management in not favouring the new signings too.

Someone asked if the game was off due to the storm heading east. Thought I'd show you what it is like up here. Its been mental all morning, folks getting evacuated and all sorts. So if this has passed or was headed to dingwall it would not be safe for folks travelling such as the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team last year picked itself and anyone coming in knew they would be right back out irrespective of how well they played. Having competition for places improves performances.

Jedi2 Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 -----------------------Rogers------------------------ --Millen--------Broadfoot-----Findlay-------Waters --Burke------------Power----Dicker--------Pinnock--- --------------------------Tish----------------------------- ------------------------Kabamba------------------------- Would certainly start Burke for creativity, and likewise Pinnock, to see what he can do on the left. Keep it compact in the middle again. If need be, 2nd half, Brophy coming on for one of the 3 central midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
