lennythistle Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Given the length of injuries and rowser suspension, we are going to be very thin on the ground tomorrow. Having read Jackie's comments about the game it would seem we will be playing a few of the youngsters tomorrow. Campbell will surely keep his place and i'd expect to see mcgeogh, possibly in midfield. Big big ask to get win tomorrow. Warriors playing tonight at firhill so can only imagine just how bad the park will be come KO tomorrow. I hope for the best but I fear the worst.

Mr Bunny Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) We still have some experienced players ... the problem is we're really short in midfield so what's the best way round this? Only thing I can think of is to pack the midfield. Fox Balatoni Kinniburgh Archibald McGeogh Cairney Campbell Erskine Boyle Doolan Grehan Subs: Scully, McGrotty, Fraser, Stewart, and can we play Lochhead even though he's being let go? If not, who else? One possible variation - given that Stewart plaed for a bit in midfield his first game with us maybe he could replace McGeogh or Campbell. Don't know if we could risk it but as he's more experienced, with him in midfield, maybe 4-4-2? Fox McGeogh/Balatoni Kinniburgh Archibald Boyle Campbell Cairney Stewart Erskine Doolan Grehan Subs: Scully, McGrotty, Fraser, McGeogh/Balatoni, ????? By the way if you're wondering why I'm stuck in my burrow on a smashing day like this, I'm down with the myxomatosis at the moment. Hope I recover in time for tomorrow's game.

Err, don't know the best way to put this, Mr. B, but it's usually fatal. And if you're lucky enough to survive, the blindness is usually permanent. But try and make it along anyway!

If I survive at least I can always imagine a better game than is actually taking place. Edited April 22, 2011 by Mr Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have a little place all of my own (though the moles next door are a nuisance - but I put up with them for their important contribution to British history).

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 can we play Lochhead even though he's being let go? If not, who else? I wouldn't be that surprised if Lochhead makes the bench. He's been travelling with the team and if one of the players had pulled up early enough pre match he'd have been included.

Let's not forget that two clubs have had some responsibility down the years for keeping this hatred alive .. they live off it, even when they claim victimhood.

Mr Bunny Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Looks like my second guess was almost correct as tody's team is: 1.Scott Fox 2.Willie Kinniburgh 5.Conrad Balatoni 6.Alan Archibald 3.Paddy Boyle 4.Jamie Campbell 7.Paul Cairney 8.Tommy Stewart 10.Chris Erskine 9.Kris Doolan 11.Martin Grehan Although I've no idea whether we're playing 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 or 4-3-3 or what.

McCall seemed to think that McGeough had a future as a right-sided midfielder. His contract is up in May so it is possible that Jackie will let him go.

I said I'd no idea of the formation so that was just a guess. OS live texts suggest we're playing 4-3-3 so maybe Stewart IS playing up front. As for not playing McGeogh, I'd guess with Rowson missing from midfield he doesn't want to weaken the team further by playing an untried youngster from the start. There's a balance between giving youngsters a chance and not losing badly. Besides, as we must have a bench of nothing but youngsters at least a couple of them are bound to come on during the game.

It does appear that we are playing 4-3-3, in practice 4-2-4 as Erskine is not a ball winner. I hope Lochhead gets a chance to show what he can do if we can get a decent lead.
