graeme_4 35,363 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd never have Holt near our starting 11, great song, but really doesn't offer anything at this level. CoopsLaud 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All players who are going to be in and around the squad this season, they're going to have to play at some point, 2nd round of the league cup is a good a time as any. Wallace can't play every match, Hodson/Beerman are his replacements at the moment Would also rather have Bruno/Cardoso both rested and ready to go against hibs on Saturday.

Can't be Tav/Cardoso/Alves/Wallace for 45/50 games this season No but Pedro knows he'll be under huge pressure if we lose. Yet you propose having only one of the back 5 who has been a regular during pre season and the last few games. And he's been nursing an injury. Along with a central midfielder who we've been told is unfit and a front pairing that haven't played together yet to any degree. No one is saying 45 / 50 games. But the pre season has been disjointed and problematic enough to think now is not a good time to completely change the starting 11. When the first 11 are fully in the groove then yeah, but until then I'd hope for no more than one or two changes ie the front 2 you've mentioned or maybe Niko or Rossiter for a midfielder. there'sonlyoneamoruso and Blue Rino 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Nobody needs resting and we should start with our strongest XI. If some players need game time they can earn a starting spot or come on when we are comfortably ahead. Blue Rino 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more thinking of the league tbh, aye we want to go on a cup good run but not at the risk of injuries to key players....take Cardoso/Alves out the team for Saturday due to injuries and i'm going in worried. If the option is to take a risk and play a weakened team in the 2nd round of the cup and ensure our players get a rest, then i'm all for it. Pedro would get absolute pelters from our fan base if we start Alves tomorrow, he breaks a leg and is out till after new year.... We have been told Pena is unfit, the only way he's going to get match fit is by playing in games now, he's missed the friendlies (most of them) and u20s doesn't really cut it these days. Give him 45/60 minutes in front of a decent Ibrox crowd, we're playing against Dunfermline, shouldn't have to be our strongest 11 to beat them! Those players i've named are all in and around the first team, some have been playing recently, others have had cameo appearances, it's not a bunch of young boys Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st team has played just a couple of games together and is still gelling. Your team is completely untried and is just asking for trouble.

TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Same team as Sunday bar Miller out for Morelos. wouldn't drop Fod as I'd rather continue to let the defence gel. hopefully batter Dunfermline and see the likes of Morelos and Pena get time and make a stamp on a game.

Dado'sMulls 2,672 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Perfect game for Kranjcar imo, his class should rip our lower league cup opponents apart. Dunno if he's fit but? Big Niko feeding Morelos should equal goals Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,436 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 hoping for a good convincing win a 4-0 or something would do. Be good to get Herrera and morelos on the score sheet would like them both to start as miller at his age shouldn't be starting after the weekend and probably against Hibs. maybe give Pena a run out if possible to see what hes about and get him some match time - might even score a goal who knows!

If he plays on Wed and Sat that's 6 games in 14 days for him. Will be fucked at the end of the season if we don't rest him at times throughout the season, Wednesday night is perfect example of a game he should be on the bench. I agree Wilson & Cardoso should have no bother dealing with Nicky Clark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanger 625 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 We should field our strongest team and be ready to make changes if we are well in front. Dont have a great feeling about this game I think it is just that we have not seen enough of the team. Anyway, bring it on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,697 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I think Wilson, Pena and Morelos need to get good game time in this one. Start them with Miller, Dorrans and Alves dropping out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
