Lenziejag Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 A few guys have gone off the boil recently, so I wonder if it is time to bring in a couple of the players around the fringes of the team. How about this Fox Sod Muirhead Balatoni Bannigan Craigen Welsh Erskine Forbes Doolan McGuigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Is Paton suspended, or was that served in the abandoned game ? (I suspect he is suspended) I don't see any need for wholesale changes. It may not be pretty, but we are on a decent unbeaten run, ---------------------------- Fox ----------------------- O'Donnell --- Muirhead --- Balatoni --- Sinclair ------------------------- Murray ---------------------- ---------------- Welsh -------- Bannigan ---------- ----- Lawless -------------------------- Erskine --- ------------------------ Craig ------------------------ Could argue for Forbes in for Welsh or Dools in for Craig, but lets not panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter McLindu Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Think this game has Doolan written all over it. Doolan , Erskine and Lawless caused them countless problems when we played them at EEP near the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 No place for Bannigan in your team? Toss up between him and Welsh. Both a bit below par at the moment. Feel we need to get forward where possible. Perhaps could be swapped with Lawless and then Stevie could come on as an impact sub. Feel this is a crucial team selection for AA. It's a lot easier for us armchair coaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 It will be interesting to see whether the Pars are motivated. The BBC is reporting that they only got 20% of the their wages in February. "They received the partial payment of their monthly wages on Thursday and some young Pars players were paid an amount of £52. The squad were due to hold a meeting with the club's major shareholder and board member Gavin Masterton on Thursday. However, he did not attend and sent a representative in his place." And Masterton says that they are debt free!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hamilton and Cowdenbeath have reported Dunfermline to the SFL for non-receipt of gate receipts. Some staff have only received £52 as their monthly wage What with the sackings at Livingston, it appears to be silly season in SFL1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Murray Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I would play the following team with Muirhead as captain. It’s a worry having to play both Welsh and Bannigan together in the middle as both are short on form over the last few games. However with Paton and Murray out we have little choice. Looks like we are keeping to our normal formation away from home, I believe this is an error. Not saying it would transform our away form but I think it would help us get some more points. Really important we keep the pressure up on Morton by getting something from this game – with the problems Dunfermline are having perfect time for us to play them. Still think Morton are strong favourites for the title, but their squad does have a few injury prone players in the side and this could derail their challenge. Important from a financial point of view as well to keep hopes of promotion going as long as possible. I am sure we will get some big home gates till the end of the season if we are going for the title. ........................Fox O’Donnell..... Muirhead..... Balatoni …. Sinclair Erskine......... Welsh..... Bannigan....... Forbes ……....……………..Lawless.......................... …………………......Craig........................

simoncordiner Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Think we'll need to go with this team: Fox O'Donnell - Muirhead - Balatoni - Sinclair Bannigan Welsh - Forbes - Lawless Erskine - Craig If we can start the game right and get an early goal this should be straightforward. Think it's rubbish the way the Dunfermline players are being treated but we need to look after No. 1. Just like our league position at the end of the season. 3 points. One step close to overhauling Morton. Mon the Jags. Edited March 1, 2013 by simoncordiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Muirhead Balatoni Archibald Sinclair O'Donnell Welsh Forbes Lawless Erskine Doolan You put this garbage on P&B as well, you talk about wanting to go forward where possible but then decide to play a CB at RB which was the main reason we were awful going forward away at Airdire in particular and in the other games when SOD was missing.

But we played 442 with Muirhead at right back and SOD on the right side of midfield against Dunfermline in arguably our best peformance of the season: the 5-1 game against Dunfermline. SOD was sensational in that role that day. Let's go 442 again- possibly with Archie back in to offset the missing experienced players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Forbes coming in for Murray is the only change I'd make to Tuesday's team. Having said that, I would hope Archie has given the centre halves (and Fox) a rocket for being far too casual against Cowdenbeath. A repeat of that and we will be punished (wages paid or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOD was sensational in that role that day. Let's go 442 again- possibly with Archie back in to offset the missing experienced players. I don't think replicating a home line up when playing away has done us much good this season. Also I'd imagine Archie will be losing, or lost already, match fitness. We probably could've gone on the attack had we the services of an anchor in midfield that is Paul Paton or possibly Murray. Even with Bannigan filling in I feel we've got to go more careful and that should entail playing defenders in their best positions.. That in turn could see Forbes or Lawless being benched.

watties wallies Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Caught Jim Jeffries on Scottish news tonight Referring to the players going on strike he said that the players felt that playing against us they would risk injury and therefore unable to move to another club if things carry on the way they have been going Reading between the lines and watching Jeffries body language there seems to be a lot more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Earl of Hathaway Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 It might be about time for us to make tomorrow a home game for the Jags. Their support is pretty disgruntled, so if we can get a good noise going its going to cover up the shuffling of feet and rustling of sweetie wrappers from the Pars' fans, its gonna sound pretty good to the players. Let's pump them in heir own midden - I've had enough sh* t times at EEP to take immense enjoyment in their discomfort both on and off the pitch.....and will be expressing it at volume tomorrow.
