writingranger 1,412 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Nope, I think we should drop Waghorn for King and King for Forrester and Forrester for O'Halloran, then bring on Waghorn in place of O'halloran for the final 90 minutes and mix it up a bit. Swap Wes with Zelalem, he looks nifty with the ball at his feet and is good in the air for a cross into the box. Ps I don't think much to the OP's new name for Rangers. It's worse than Cheaper Insurance Stadium! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'd take out Waghorn and Zel for Law and MO'H. Maybe keep Holt on the bench if he's not 100% so he's ready for the cup game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirWeiss69 802 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 MOH will be a certain starter, This game will be the perfect game to bed the new players in. I would much rather play MOH instead of miller, albeit he has been decent the last couple of games but MOH is overall the better player now and has pace in abundance which seems to have abandoned miller.

bluenoz 30,645 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 MW always talks about keeping the squad lean and rotating. Saturday is the perfect opportunity in playing Alloa. As much as the league is priority, so is next Tuesday as we have a real good shot at winning the Scottish Cup which means instant European football next year.

We keep hearing about the importance of the lean squad but consistently fail to utilise it. The amount of times the gaffer gave special mention to Aird yet rarely played the guy was ridiculous... Its as if MW doesnt trust anyone outside his first 11. Maybe we have slightly better options now so will be interesting to see if he chooses to use them. What you have said is ridiculous. He has continually said players will play if they are ready and deserve to, maybe he didn't think Aird was doing better than Tav in training, or any of the front 3 which is understandable.

BlueAvenger 10,191 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The league is the no 1 priority so we can't afford any slip ups. I'd go: Wes Tav Ball Kiernan Wallace Holt Halliday Law Waghorn O'Halloran McKay Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we do have to freshen it up a bit but happy with the results even though they have not been high scoring games, we haven't conceded which is always good. I think with Holt back we will get more movement and we will start to score more again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theclothmonster 1,704 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Waggy and McKay definately need a break, cant' see Warburton playing all three new guys up front as they need some time to settle in to our system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Be good to see Hardie get some game time. If we do end up resting a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 We will want our strongest for this game. It would be great to beat Kilmarnock, but if we had a choice and could only pick one game we could win it would be the Alloa match. The league is the priority.

TheCutch 4,340 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 With Hivs not playing until 17.15 away at Livi (who have taken home points off us and Falkirk) then this is a must win to put 11 points between us when they kick off. We all know from experience the pressures that come with playing games in hand. And they will difinitely have more of an eye on their replay than we will on ours I am sure.

Dazzler 2,428 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's worth the risk to use the players who will be cup tied against Killie. If Waghorn picked up an injury against Alloa then we are double fucked. He has looked jaded the last few games so wouldn't do any harm to have him on the bench. Id also rest McKay.

Ozblue 4,331 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's not very often I join in a 'My Team Selection' thread, although I have to agree with the posters who would like to see Waghorn rested and be on the bench if required,as the break would do him good and possibly gee him up for the Cup replay. I also think it would be a good move to have McKay on the bench and start with a front three of O'Halloran, Miller/Clark and King which would keep Forrester, Waghorn, McKay fresh for the Killie game; although it wouldn't surprise to see Waghorn and McKay start against Alloa.

The No.9 760 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Been looking forward to a front line of MOH right, waghorn central and McKay left so hopefully soon ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 For me Waghorn and O'Halloran have to start against Alloa. Even a below par Waghorn is still our most involved forward. I'd have a front three of McKay, Waghorn, and O'Halloran; with Waghorn mainly in the middle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
