Being a cup game, do we see Kelly starting at the weekend? If so, do we think we will see him utilised in a bit more of an advanced position when in possession for an extra passing option as per someone's post the other day (EHL I think? ), thus giving the defence more license to play a higher line.
I believe he is more comfortable with the ball at his feet than Butland, he could be utilised well to play a more aggressive game against them for the full 90 rather than sitting off

If we play our best players, that is Butland all day.
04 Mar 2026 16:03:07
In no way does Kelly start for me.
04 Mar 2026 16:04:53
It's our only real chance of a trophy. We need to play our best 11 and build some confidence with a win.
04 Mar 2026 16:06:10
Do we put Kelly in for a game of this magnitude given how little game time he has had? He may be better with the ball at his feet, but it's a no from me.
04 Mar 2026 16:16:20
Play our best 11.
04 Mar 2026 16:22:47
Not a chance!
04 Mar 2026 16:30:58
I've never been convinced by Butland, but he's a better keeper than Kelly all day, every day.
04 Mar 2026 16:42:23
Jack Butland starts against them on Sunday 100% for me. ?
04 Mar 2026 18:19:45
Fair enough, I personally wouldn't be opposed to trying it. Butland back in net for the league games.

The only reason Schmeichel was so far up the park was that Celtic were so far up the park. I'm not so sure it was a tactical move.

Play strongest possible team, we are in no position to give players a run out. We need to start winning things.
04 Mar 2026 21:00:50
When we say play the strongest 11, is that Rohl's strongest 11, or the strongest 11 from so many on here? Not looking for arguments, just asking the question. No doubt, whatever team is picked, some will argue it is not the strongest.
04 Mar 2026 21:18:08
The cup is probably our best chance of silverware, so we must play the strongest team available.
04 Mar 2026 21:38:10
Whatsmyname, Schmeichel was up in the stand, not up the park.

Good question, Penrith. Look at the discussion of the back 4 in another thread. This is why managers for the club can never win. If we lose or draw, there is always a group who think we should have played one instead of another.
Players tiring after 60 when we lose, but the same players on till the end if we win, and nothing is said. ?
04 Mar 2026 22:23:54
Angus, should we not debate who we think to play? Imagine fans having an opinion.
04 Mar 2026 22:30:08
Always go with the manager's choice, but he'll have had some tough decisions.
05 Mar 2026 02:00:41
Trust the manager. Don't have your own opinion.

Personally, I would still play Souttar before Djiga, as he has a stake in our future, and Djiga will be going to the Championship with Wolves.

Basically that's what he is saying forever. No point having this site when the fun police get involved
