[Dynamo]

Clangers

 

Logan Reynolds Anderson Considine

 

Pawlett Jack Robson Hayes

 

Smith

 

Rooney

 

A good example of a game where Flood is not really (in theory) required.

And it was either Pawlett or McGinn to be dropped so went with Niall.

[Stoney]

Seems like an easy team to pick

 

Logan

Reynolds

Anderson

Jack

 

Hayes

Flood

Low

Robson

Pawlett

 

Rooney

[minijc]

Jame Foley

 

Logan

Reynolds

Anderson

Low

 

Monakana

Jack

Robson

Hayes

 

Goodwillie

Rooney

 

That team would be enough to beat Partick.

[Dynamo]

What is the story with this Monakana boy? I see he wasn't even in the squad on Saturday.

Double shift at espo the night before is what I heard

[The Hulk]

I'm going for the totalvoetball selection

 

Brown

Anderson Considine Reynolds

Logan Flood Jack Hayes

Pawlett

Rooney McGinn

i`d defo give the gooner a run out off the bench 2nd half if available .

[Poodler]

I just heard he's shite

[StandFree1982]

Injured apparently. Back injury i read.

 

He's clearly struggling with fitness up here, no wonder they wanted to punt him on loan. I really hope we aren't paying much for the loon to be up here!

[Tord31]

I'll say Jonny Hayes back to left back for this one with Scott Wright coming in to replace him in attack. Will do the trick and a realistic shout for McInnes to go for. Me personally I'd make a few changes including giving Smith a run out ahead of Pawlett.

[StandFree1982]

Not a chance McInnes is going to play Shankland up front, or drop Pawlett! I think we're going to have to grin and bare it for now and hope something, other than Broons knees, clicks.

Recent changes in shift work means I haven't been getting along to many youth/reserve games or even the training on occasion. But all reports I have heard from reliable sources is that he's not good enough. Make of it what you will but I wouldn't pin all hopes on him coming in and changing the season.

I think the fact he didn't get a single minute of game time in any of the games he was on the bench for suggested he's pish. Especially since he's a winger and those were games where we are pushing for goals.

 

Ah well, I'd rather we played Wright or Smith.

[Stoney]

Shankland and Rooney upfront.

 

Not sure why shankland hasnt been given a shotty

 

he was pretty decent at dunfy last year and the year before and queens

[fine-n-dandy]

Everyone seems to have Anderson in the team but is he not injured now?

Knee injury? & Taylor also had an injury last week.

 

Pity we don't have a LB so we coud play Considine in with Reynolds in these circumstances, rather than having to waste Hayes at LB.

 

Wonder if there's any decent LB's around that would like to sign for us & be a certain on the team sheet every week?

[StandFree1982]

I think we've done ok with Hayes at LB, he's more effective than Considine at overlapping the LM position and getting crosses in, and it means we can play another attacking player in the mid, rather than sticking with Considine who offers nothing as a Attacking LB

[Poodler]

In

 

A shite 0-0

 

9871

 

Langfield kicks to go directly out of play - 2

 

 

Ahh, optimism...

[toomothered]

Oot unfortunately, bairns birthday party.........

 

Desperately need to change it, brown in for clangers, smith and low in for flood and Hayes, shank land on for Rooney

 

If we do that a 2-0 win, if we keep it the same 0-0, or a 1-0 defeat.

 

Time for Macinnes to earn his money

[lukas989]

Id go for this team:

 

Brown

 

Logan Taylor Reynolds Hayes

 

McGinn Flood Jack Smith

 

Rooney Goodwillie

 

There must be a stab at 442. Partick seems a good team to gie it a bash against. Then back to the norm against the tims. Because it completely suits playing them.

As well as 4-4-2 being completely logical in terms of shape, surely it gives more scope for Shankland and/or Wright to get involved.

 

Not even seen Shankland getting 10 minutes here and there so I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

 

If we're going to waste Hayes at LB (regardless of him being our best player there he's better in LM, so that's where he should play) we should give Wright a shot at LM rather than Smith.

 

Also agree that Shankland is deserving of a run out in first team. He is ready for it.

 

What's the opinion of this young Cam Felek lad? (if that's the right spelling) is he looking any good?

Please please change formation...442, but I can see him going to same with 1 up front..

 

Crowd about 12000

 

Score 3-0 to us.

[StandFree1982]

Play the out n out attacking football we had against Real Sociedad and we'll destroy Partick. i don't understand why we are so reluctant to have a proper go at teams.

[Clydeside_Sheep]
