Big Al 55 9,241 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Should have told the players the team, cant see any benefit whatsoever of announcing it officially though. A strange decision for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear 4,096 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I know it's forced but nothing wrong with blooding youngsters if he thinks they're good enough plus Killie are beatable with that side IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,360 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Looks like 4-3-3. Seems as if he's just trying to figure out what formation is best, who he can trust along with giving the youngsters a chance ahead of the double header against the scum. Fair enough imo. Would really like to see Dodoo given a chance though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valance1690 3,821 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Don't really have a problem with the youngsters, if they're good enough then they should play Announcing the team 30 hours in advance is just a bit strange and unnecessary Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Only positive thing I can think of is it stops the press asking about the injury crisis or guessing who will be starting. Apart from that it doesn't really matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 3,986 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Don't see anything out of the ordinary announcing the team a day early. Killie will have prepared whatever they have prepared before this afternoon anyway (10 men behind the ball). I'm not too concerned about Bates and Beerman in the side. If anything I'm relieved Keirnan isn't. Two young defenders making their debut together in any other season would have worried me, but our defence is pish this year anyway so I welcome seeing some new blood.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Has he told us what the tatics are yet, or how he thinks Killie will play against us ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Don't like that he's announced the team so early. Never heard of any manager doing it before it's surely giving your opponents an advantage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweaking training to exploit 2 young lads? really or changing formation to attack our left back are the 9 other outfield players just gonna stand and let the young lad sort it out...

Scottywellhousetb 50,442 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I will give the manager sufficient time to prove himself or make a cunt of it but while I'm not too concerned about this announcement the day before the game that's Saturday and today I've thought what the fucks that all about, I hope he doesn't try anything mental at the semi and we end up getting pumped because that's one game where a baffling decision could see the support turn on him, harsh maybe but that's the reality.

Gillete 1,338 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I like the idea he's told the team now. Hopefully not on a weekly basis but for now, he's bleeding in youngsters and it's refreshing to see. You have to see what you have at your disposal before making changes in the summer. Only way you can do that it to play them and see how they handle it. Well done pedro Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurphy1 43 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's unusual, but i don't really see what difference it will make. I doubt Killie are going to significantly change their tactics in the next 24 hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tavernator 279 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 People making a big do over nothing. How is Kilmarnock going to take advantage of knowing our team? He's forced to make changes and he'll see if the youngsters are up to it. It'll give a boost to the U20's to see the door is opening. He's also seeing who to keep and let go at the end of the season.
