jags on tour Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I hope we gub them and they get relegated for charging £18, Killie were charging £9 earlier this year, even our £12 is steep for a piss poor live stream! I wonder what team we will put out, it’s going to take the absolute clusterfcuk of clusterfcuk’s for us not to be in the playoffs so I’d be looking to rest a few guys but on the other hand they are fighting for their lives and I don’t was us to lose any momentum going into the games vs ICT. I’d play a sort of fringe team like this but can’t see McCall risking it.

We've shown that on the wrong day, we can ship 4 or 5 goals. Haven't looked to see if Raith are capable of scoring as many but I'd rest a couple of 'injured' players and try and keep it tight. Don't think losing 1 or 2 nil does much to the confidence, if it's obvious we've rested one or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Yeah the team won’t look anything like I’ve posted but if we are to have a chance of winning the playoffs we need to rest as many as we can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiThistle Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I’d give Alegria substantial minutes and Jakubiak a good 60 at least. If one or both of them can offer something on goal then it could give them confidence for the playoffs and maybe give us options if Graham and Tiff aren’t firing at 100%. Also would get Ben Stanway a full half at least. Reward the kid for making the step up and see what he’s got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Agree with above post tho' Stanway probably needs to grow/bulk up a bit to play in his position. Would imagine we'll do what the bigger English clubs do in the FA Cup and play an "experimental" starting XI but retain a strong bench for insurance. I say "experimental" but that's really the wrong word as just about everyone in the squad has had regular starts this season. I don't feel we've even known our strongest line up until recently. Ideally I'd have liked to have seen Firth get a shot in goals before now, but that's not been possible and I guess Jamie will retain his position for continuity as much as record breaking reasons.

laukat Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I would expect a strong-ish defence to start the game with most of better attacking option on the bench. There are a couple of players who could do with a game to be ready for the playoffs (Firth, Foster, Akinola, McAllister) So something like this to start the game Firth Foster-Akinola-Holt-Hendrie Turner-Docherty-Bannigan Smith-Jakubiak-MacAllister Subs: Sneddon, McKenna, Mayo, Graham, Alegria, Murray, Crawford, Bell, Stanway If the scores are looking good by 60 minutes I would expect Docherty, Bannigan, Holt and Jakubiak to be taken off for Crawford, Stanway, Bell and Alegria. Conversely if we need a goal expect Graham to come on or if we need to stop losing goals expect Mayo, Sneddon and McKenna. I wouldn't have Tiffoney on the subs bench. He's so key to our chances that we can't afford the risk of him picking up a skelf in his backside from the subs bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I must admit, that midfield above would make me fear for the result tonight. I do think we need to rest the likes of Tiffoney, but not at the expense of being humped by a team who need to stay above the Pars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifexile Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 From Archie's update it sounds like Tiffony will not make it tonight. Upside is the rest of the squad is available so there's a chance for those that have been out to get some game time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we need to rest the likes of Tiffoney, but not at the expense of being humped by a team who need to stay above the Pars. We can make five substitutions. Even if we hold one or two subs back in case of injury we can easily strengthen the team if things ain't going to plan. In my mind going into the play offs requires a different ethos. The normal "take each game as it comes" should go out the window. We have to plan ahead for six matches (seven if you include tonight) and strategize accordingly. If we were to reach the final round and lose out narrowly to the Premiership side it would admittedly be an achievement, but in truth it would still be a hollow achievement. Resting certain players whenever it's deemed safe enough to do so would be key to ultimately achieving the only worthwhile outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 That’s a fair point m’lady. Of course, I’m often proved wrong so I’ll eat my words when the midfield play a blinder tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 It's a difficult set of decisions facing the manager. The first decision is do we want to win the game or not? If so then we have to field a team that will achieve this (or at least not lose the game). This decision also has to take account of Ayr's position as well and the determination they will show to avoid being sucked into the play-off position. This means a strong team along normal lines with perhaps only one or two regulars rested - on the bench. If the strategy is to focus on the play-offs then it's anybodies guess what our team will be tonight. I hope the manger decides we go for winning the game and fields a strong team! Afraid I still fall into the one game at a time scenario as I don't think resting 5 or 6 players is right if it will risk a 4-5 goal thumping. Means Raith only need to beat Killie by 4 or 5 goals which could be easily achieved against a hung over or very weakened Killie!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiThistle Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I wonder how many times this season two teams in the same game week have combined for an 8-goal difference. It has to be an amazingly low percentage. Just play all the reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind Hamilton won 10-2 v Morton a few years back to claw back the 8 goal deficit they needed for title albeit in vain coz Dundee won their final match to take the title.

Sensible team selection! I have to say though I just don't see where the goals are going to come from. Perhaps a team for a 0 - 0! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
