Surely if they were, Kilmarnock and any other teams that have them would have half their squad out injured. Pretty sure Stevie Smith went off in the same game that Waghorn got injured last season, both injuries caused by impact with the surface. Their manager refused to let his own team train on it too.

They don't have much cushion to them, might not be as bad as last season mind you when we played on a few. So the occasional one in a blue moon won't be bad. But they do have their negatives.

Barton needs competitive games due to lack of preseason. It should be either/ or with Rossiter/Barton unless we change shape to a 4231. Halliday for me in a more advanced role is better.

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Holt and Windass will give us that driving attacking presence in midfield weve been missing. This game is probably too soon for Holt, but im hoping to see Windass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's stuff called Tigerturf they've got, just did a quick google search there. Also their stadiums called the "superseal" now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't have capitalised "campaign" in "Chamionship Campaign". It's not "segway", it's "segue". In general, the entire thing is written poorly. Neat.

He's barely put a foot wrong in every game he's played so far. Barton on the other hand is hardly setting the heather alight. Foderingham; Tav, Kiernan, Wilson, Wallace; Kranjcar, Rossiter, Forrester; MOH, Dodoo, McKay Pretty much agree with everything you said and selection except i would start garner and hopefully windass is fit for the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think Miller will get a game; I don't necessarily think he should start, but in away match I can't see him being dropped. It could be well be a front three of McKay, Miller, O'Halloran. I don't think Halliday should start but I think he will as well. I'd rather a mid three of Rossiter, Barton, and Forrester. Forrester is becoming the best AM we have in terms of setting the pace of the midfield and using our forward line well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrester for Halliday would be a great option as well; although I wouldn't be surprised if Forrester was a sub and Kranjcar started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd do a good job at tiring out the opposition and it'd likely give him a boost. Barrie a pretty much guaranteed starter. Forrester I'd be hesitant to play in all honesty, he looks prone to injury and the artificial pitch could exacerbate that. Sub off Halliday for Kranjcar to offer some late game creativity especially if Killie are committing 10 men behind the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
