Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Is this game on yet another artificial pitch? If so then I can't see Defoe or Morelos being risked, and Barasic is bound to not fancy the surface. I doubt if the likes of Aribo and Ojo would be risked on that surface. Ditto Arfield, Jack and Davis. Maybe even expensive signing Helander might not be risked on that surface unless the need for game time overrides the risk of injury for him. It all depends too on who Gerrard had in mind when he referred to players who were giving him sly looks etc because they are pressing for games but not being picked. How about a bit of a experimental side of ...…………….. Firth Polster - Edmundson - [Helander or Goldson] - Halliday Docherty - Stewart - Hastie - Barker Jones - McPake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's saying something. Old Bayview of the crumbling terraces has gone, they have a new Meccano set effort in roughly the same place as the old ground I think. Anyway, hopefully we have an easier time than when I last visited Bayview in the League Cup, they took it to penalties and if memory serves, we were one sudden death kick from going out. Nicky Walker may have been the goalie that night that kept us in the competition, although I am not 100% sure on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 with the squad depth that we now have, it’s definitely the opportunity to play fringe players and those in need game time. Whoever we field should be plenty good enough to see it job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bayview was about half a mile away further into the centre of Methil. It wasn't on the shoreline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Halliday 😂 I’d play Barasic anyway though he needs games this could be a perfect one to get his confidence up, if he doesn’t play in this then his cards are surely marked.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,277 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm not suggesting they're great, or even in any way likely to get a result, but they have beaten Hearts on penalties and Dundee Hivs over 90 mins this season. I wonder if there will be the wholesale changes most of us are suggesting or whether there will still be a number of the regular faces start supplemented by those getting a chance.
