Mr Bunny Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 It should be straightforward but doubts on some players cause some problems.  Assuming comments on Robertson and Kinniburgh are not just to fool the opposition, we're going to be short at the back unless maxwell comes in.  Actually assuming 3 at the back then the choices are:  Halliwell  then either:  Balatoni MacNamara Maxwell  Paton Cairney Rowson Flannigan Boyle  Buchanan Doolan  or  Paton Balatoni MacNamara Boyle  Cairney Rowson Bannigan/Hodge Flannigan  Buchanan Doolan  With MGeogh/Maxwell, Hodge/Erskine, Grehan and Donnelly on the bench. Or maybe he'd play Donnelly on the wing and Cairney centre mid with Bannigan on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id go with your 4-4-2 line-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I wonder if Cairney will be involved on Sat given he was alledgedly dropped for disciplinary reasons last week. Â Did anyone mention this at the Jags trust love in last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Col Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I wouldn't start Liam - I think he needs a spell on the bench and out of the automatic starter list. Â I'd go with Donnelly up front with Doolan to start with, and if it's not working out (or when Simon is nackered) Liam or Grehan can come on. Â MacNamara is a definite start - really impressed with him last week, especially since he had been out for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times to ex Jags score against us. Edited September 10, 2010 by Lenziejag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea whatsoever whether there is any truth in it but I thought I wouldn't be the only one to read it and notice he wasn't in the XI on Sat.

JeanieD Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Suspect that, regardless of what team is played, if Stirling come looking for a 0-0 draw they will get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonjag Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 It's bizarre....... Some folks wanting to drop Liam cos he isn't scoring, then in the same breath suggesting Donnelly as his replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearchar Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Maxwell wasn't at the discussion after the Jags Trust AGM because he had been training all day: so he'll be in the squad at least, and probably in the team. Ian McCall also said that on current form Bannigan was difficult to leave out and that Doolan and Buchanan did well together against Ayr United, which suggests that Grehan and/or Donnelly will be on the bench.

Some folks wanting to drop Liam cos he isn't scoring, then in the same breath suggesting Donnelly as his replacement. Just maybe some folks think that between the two of them the guy more likely to score at this moment would be Donnelly. They might also believe that, again at this moment, Sid is faster, fitter and has more stamina than Buchanan. I would if pressed tend to agree with them but would still have Liam in the side. Tho' I feel Buchanan is starting to show signs of a return to form the main reason I'd play him would be down to his partnership with Doolan. Going by what McCall said the other night Bannigan will be in the squad as will Grehan, who also impressed against Killie. I got the impression Bannigan is likely to start. You'd expect Grehan to play at some point, as mentioned earlier it's against his old team, but I imagine he'll be on the bench at kick off.

B.C.G. JAG Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I think I remember McCall saying Rowson might sit this game out Edited September 11, 2010 by B.C.G. JAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think I remember McCall saying Rowson might sit this game out  So he did, Id forgotten about that. He said Rowser has been carrying an injury for a couple of weeks but because of the type of guy he is, and the important work he puts in, he has been playing through it.

PaleGreySky Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Here's the team:  Halliwell Boyle Maxwell McNamara Balatoni Paton Bannigan Rowson Cairney Buchanan Doolan  Hinchcliffe Hodge Donnelly Eskine Grehan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Here's the team:  Halliwell Boyle Maxwell McNamara Balatoni Paton Bannigan Rowson Cairney Buchanan Doolan  Hinchcliffe Hodge Donnelly Eskine Grehan  Good stuff, I dreamt I read a match report from our 3-0 win with a Doohlan [sic] brace and Buchanan goal. Bit depressing that I only dream of the match reports and not going to the actual game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreySky Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 can we start playing mcgeough instead of maxwell? he's already rubbish, and is only going to get worse. at least mcgeough would improve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
