Alan Murray Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Think Banzo will not play tomorrow night - too much of a risk. With Osman out as well it gives Archie problems. If Keown is back though he can move Barton to midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Surely even if players get rested we can beat Airdire, for God's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Surely even if players get rested we can beat Airdire, for God's sake. Yes we should win comfortably. Bear in mind tho' we beat them 1-0 last season around this time starting with eight first team regulars and ending the game with nine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I don't think anything is guaranteed, but given our status, and also given that our squad is pretty similar to last year's and knows each other well, we should be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightswood Jag Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Half annoyed, half happy right now as I'm in America having a good holiday BUT I can't believed I've missed a 5-0, how often has that happened! By the way does anyone have highlights I've not even seen the goals yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lithgaejag Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I would hope we will win comfortably as Airdrie are in big financial trouble with no manager as they can't pay the wage and players playing for free. It is basically their youth team. Against livi 9 of their starting eleven was under 22. Hopefully we can take our performance from Saturday onto this game but Archie might rest the some of the more injury prone players as it is on a plastic pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a team like this? Cerny; Elliot Devine Barton Penrice; Edwards McCarthy; Lawless McLaughlin Spittal; Doolan (with Nesbit coming on later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a team like this? Cerny; Elliot Devine Barton Penrice; Edwards McCarthy; Lawless McLaughlin Spittal; Doolan (with Nesbit coming on later) With the score at 4-0 on Saturday I thought Archie could easily have brought on three youngsters at half time. But we've got the canniest of managers and unlike him I didn't foresee things going wrong and us going down to ten men. As for tonight I think it might be difficult to guess who'll play and who'll be rested/benched. Booth for instance needs game time but the surface isn't usually favoured for those returning from injury. Same might apply to Banzo and for all we know Abdul's second yellow may have been largely inconsequential as he wasn't going to be risked. Guessing but I reckon Archie will start with a strong line up and if we're a couple ahead bring on a couple of younger players as early as possible. Guys like McCarthy and Penrice (the latter having already played against Airdrie last season) aren't exactly high risk anyway. Perhaps Scully will feature tonight. Doesn't really matter if you rate him or not. If Cerny gets injured in the near future you want your substitute goalie to have had a wee bit of competitive game time at least. Just for the fun of it here's a guess at tonight's starting XI Scully Elliott Keown Devine Penrice Barton Bannigan Spittal Erskine Lawless Doolan Play my joker and start Edwards in place of Banzo.

Alan Murray Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Archie not waiting to risk Banzo unless he has too - will be on the bench tonight. Keown still not fit but is back training. Cerny Elliott Barton Devine Booth Edwards McCarthy Spittal Erskine Lawless Doolan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
