Goodwillie

 

subs: Brown, Logan, Considine, Robson, Pawlett, Parker, Smith

prediction: 2-0 Rooney x 2

crowd: 12,400

[RAZOR]

Somehow I think Rooney will start up front. Come on min.

 

I'd like to see Parker up top with Rooney. Looks to be good on the ball and has abit of pace about him.

[Poodler]

Surely we can squeeze 15k in? Dodgy game min, another win would just be incredible. 1-0

[Tord31]

Well maybe Parker wide and Roondog up top.

 

Main theme being I think Derek will make 3 or 4 changes to keep the squad all ticking over

Over 16k sold already?!

[Bamber]

well that's all thats available - Quite often find they don't release all of the RDU until it starts to fill

 

edit

 

oh and capacity = 21000

Away =2000

=19000

 

-3892 available

 

=15108

 

- probably around 1k that aren't yet released

 

so probably around 14k at the moment

[BWG]

Rest Logan and Quinn for this and Hayes will obviously be out. If we're winning comfortably then blood some youths like Wright and Nutall.

 

This is how I'd like to see us line up

 

[mutant]

Quinn deserved to play after today . Considine to the bench for me .

[TynesideDon]

6-0

 

20,000

[The Cockney Don]

Pawlett or Parker in for Hayes, 2 - 0 win.

[Pudgie]

14,000

 

3-0

 

 

GSPQ with all 3.

[ericblack4boss]

Work commitments prevent me from.going

This is the first of five games in two weeks so rotation is order of the day

Ward.

 

Quinn, Taylor, Considine.

 

Logan, Jack, flood, Robson, Parker

Goodwillie, McLean

 

Subs- Brown, shinnie, Pawlett, Smith, Rooney, mcginn.

 

We can interchange so much of the side, shinnie never missed a game last season and has earned a rest,

[The Oxford Don]

No need to dick about with it too much.

 

Pawlett for Hayes, keep it simple.

[Guest RosemountRed]

Anything over 14,000 for a midweek game against Hamilton is fairly good.

 

I would go for:

 

Ward

 

Logan Quinn Taylor Considine

 

Mcginn Shinnie Jack Wright

 

Goodwillie Rooney

 

 

Wright deserves a chance.

[RUL]

Don't see how it's a tricky game? They lost 4-1 to Fucking St Johnstone

[BWG]

Don't see how it's a tricky game? They lost 4-1 to Fucking St Johnstone

 

Trickiness comes from the fact that we need to be mindful of the Hearts game that will closely follow it. Need to rotate the squad for this but keep it competitive.

Why? The diet zombies are shit

[BWG]

Why? The diet zombies are shit

Indeed they are. But there's a chance we will be too if all of our players are knackered.

[dunc_afc]

Yeah but our bench is more than enough to beat those wannabe fucks. We're not just the best team in Scotland right now, we have the best squad too.

[ericblack4boss]

We have to beware of the after the Lord mayors show aspect,

Be on our guard, perhaps this is the game to bring in freshness, they know that the side that one today will be tough to change hence a bigger effort for those who do come in.

[CalgaryDon]

Hamilton have started the season fairly well - they picked up a good result last week however their result today against St Johnstone shows they are very much vulnerable and inconsistent. They want to bounce back having been beaten so convincingly today - teams will now be desperate to beat us after our result against Celtic. Parker to start for Hayes. Flood and Pawlett may get the nod too -cant see that many changes due to the game at Tynecastle being on Sunday - plenty time to rest during the week. We seem to be so well prepared under DM and expect another professional performance resulting in another victory.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Would like to see Pawlett start this one

[fifered]

This type of game is surely where our squad will give us chance in the long title run. A measured amount of rotation to make sure we're 100% come the hearts game. Would be happy to see Goodwillie Parker and Pawlett getting a start then once we get comfortable mclaughlin and flood coming on. Get half the team a bit of a break before the hearts match.

[Tord31]

Totally agree. McInnes was reluctant to rotate the squad last season but hopefully on Tuesday he sees the benefit of making 3 or 4 changes

[Bamber]

Saw the bench yesterday, would any of the 7 on the bench not be a starter for any team from 4th downwards?

[Tord31]

Absolutely and still Smith and Reynolds in reserve.

 

pretty much 20 man squad all capable of making a contribution before considering youngsters like Rose, Storie, Wright and Nuttal.

 

We are well placed and should be trying to rotate the squad slightly where possible.

[The Cockney Don]

Why should we rotate ? it was the international break last week so most of the players had last weekend off.

[Tord31]

Weve got Hamilton, Hearts and Hibs within 8 days. Sensible to rotate slightly
