Linfield Match Fred

[C4mmy31]

[Ngonge88]

I assume the boy from Beith?

[Cill Mheàrnaig]

Fowler starting up-front?

[Riccarton Bluebell]

Doesn’t look like many goals coming from that team unless the trialist is a cracker.

[skygod]

Wright, McKenzie and Vasselle still not being risked.

Either that or Omari Hutchinson.

Hopefully likes of Wright , Rory and Vassell just getting eased back and not missing for too long

who trialist first time start and three trialists in bench?

He must quite fancy Fowler. It looked like the trialists had just been taken for a weeks training to get a look but if he's giving him a start he must have impressed.

Still looks like it will be tough without Wright, McKenzie, Vassell and with Magennis and Kennedy being on the bench.

[Barbinho]

Trialist goalie is interesting. .

It'll just be Kinnear, like midweek. Lewis isn't coming

Agree with you here @Fletch 👍 It'll be tough without the guys you mentioned, but as much as id love to see them playing, im quite happy to save them for games that count over the coming weeks. I'm all for giving the trialists this game time to show what they can do and prove their worth.

I hope you’re joking 

[C4mmy31]

Our opponents lineup....

[Cill Mheàrnaig]

Fitness is all that really matters but would be nice to beat the mini-Rangers a month before we take on their big brothers.

[Ngonge88]

This side are well up and running for the European Qualifying. A right good run out is all that matters here

[Pompey Repatriated]

Looks very much a 442. Good to us going with a back 4 so far. Obviously need an actual rightback

1-0 Linfield 

[Dieter's Heeder]

Linfield had 4 corners and 4 shots on target in the first 10 minutes.

That's how I expected today to go. They've got a European game this coming week so will be weeks ahead of us in terms of fitness and march sharpness.

[Ngonge88]

Sometimes a pumping pre season is a good thing.

I’m not being funny but it’s Linfield, not Madrid. I expect them to be a bit sharper than us, aye, but not absolutely streets ahead like has been the case so far.
