Reserves for Thursday night, main team against killie on Sunday, there's certain games we can afford to play some reserves but killie away isn't one of them imo.
27 Oct 2020 08:48:55
I hear what you're saying sweep but the good thing is we don't really have reserves at the moment. What we have is at least 2 strong players for most positions. let's get into the Polskis. We are good enough just now to beat them and Kilmarnock with the squad we have.
27 Oct 2020 08:51:53
Full strength team in every match we play sweep. We’re going for a treble and as far as possible in Europa league mate. Squads big enough and good enough to handle it. ðŸ‘ðŸ».
27 Oct 2020 08:53:09
Jordan Jones will hopefully start on that surface✌ï¸.
27 Oct 2020 09:07:27
Sweep who’s our reserve team?
27 Oct 2020 09:21:18
Reserves are players who ain't classed as our 1st 11 bgate. League is number priority.
27 Oct 2020 09:41:11
I don't really think we have a first 11 more like a first 15 with it being horses for courses for certain games, we are doing well with that system so far this season.
27 Oct 2020 09:53:02
I agree sweep we need to be managing the players workloads this season more than any. I do believe we are seeing that though as you could tell from the changes on Sunday. The areas I feel we are light in though is rw and lw, if something happens to Kent we are in trouble.
27 Oct 2020 09:57:16
The league is our top priority, but we now have a squad where we can play a strong team in Europe too.
27 Oct 2020 10:01:35
Who's our first 11 then as you take out goldson barasic tav kent. whos the rest as there well rotaed.
27 Oct 2020 10:02:55
Let's think; 4-3-3
McLaughlin
Patterson, edmunson, balogun, bassey
Jones, jack, Davis
Itten, Defoe, Barker.
That's probably our weakest team. It's still better than some other first teams.
Probable lineup v the polaks
4-2-3-1
McGregor
Tavernier, goldson, helander, barisic
Kamara, jack
Arfield, aribo, hagi
Morelos.
27 Oct 2020 10:15:40
I’d say we probably only have a 1st 7. McGregor tav. Goldson Helander barasic. Kamara and Kent. Other than that they are all inter changeable and pretty much like for like. Lack depth on the right side but Roofe and Aribo and Arfield can all come in to replace hagi. Yeah I’d say first 7 and rest depends on opposition and fitness etc without weakening team. Even the gk position and Balogun for either of 2 cb’s isn’t necessarily weakening the team.
27 Oct 2020 10:17:56
Why no Kent rossco3001? Is he suspended or injured?
27 Oct 2020 10:19:37
With our strength in depth now, we can afford to out strong sides out in both games.
Beat the poles and we are on 6 points and I'd expect Benfica to beat Liege. That would put a bit of daylight between us and Liege and the poles after 2 games.
Then onto Killie and put them to the sword as well.
Especially since we have a winning mentality at the moment. Winning, clean sheets all breed confidence for the players which turns into consistency, which we've lacked the last couple of seasons.
27 Oct 2020 10:22:46
Or we just do the norm, a slight rotation between the two matches. Strong sides for both.
3 Points on Thursday should put us really in the driving seat to qualify for the knockouts.
Thursday team:
Mcgregor
Tav Goldson Helander Bassey
Kamara Jack Arfield
Hagi Morelos Kent
Sunday Team:
Mcgregor
Tav Goldson Balogun Barasic
Kamara Davis Jack
Kent Morelos Roofe.
27 Oct 2020 10:40:33
I would go for this on Thursday
McLoughlin
Tav
Goldson
Balogun
Bassey
Davis
Kamara
Arfield
Hagi
Roofe
Fredo
Then on Sunday
McGregor
Tav
Goldson
Helander
Barasic
Jack
Kamara
Arfield
Jones
Kent
Fredo.
27 Oct 2020 10:47:06
Let's pretend Kent and roofe were injured. Weve still got a very strong squad. I actually forgot about Kent. We've still got Stewart and mayo in the squad as emergency backup. Middleton as well I think.
27 Oct 2020 12:21:22
I think bassey would be a better option on that park at killie cambiger and barasic on thurs. Teams look good thoughðŸ‘.
27 Oct 2020 12:54:00
Thought I'd drifted onto the Berwick Rangers for a minute - play reserves in a European tie?
One game at a time and aim to win each one picking the best team to achieve that every time.
Our manager win never go into a game less than 100% committed to winning and fans shouldn't either.
27 Oct 2020 13:14:04
thats right cause lech posnan couldn't possibly hand us a drubbing and affect this teams confidence.
27 Oct 2020 13:15:47
and of course any squad culture of playing for your place in any and all competitions wouldn't be affected by that either.
27 Oct 2020 14:25:39
I think Kamara Davis and Arfield will be our starting midfield on Thursday. Who plays up top and wide right is the question.
27 Oct 2020 14:39:34
No chance. Although league is priority always play best side. Maybe couple tweaks here and there. Another 3 points thurs is another half a mill in the bank.
27 Oct 2020 14:53:30
Yeah your possibly right Coldo I was just thinking Borna came off with what looked like a strain last Thursday so was thinking of giving him a bit longer to rest but wouldn't mind swapping for the two games.
27 Oct 2020 18:04:11
Mayo out on loan. Barisic snd helander will play thursday as I don't think they would be risked on sunday on that park.
