Ten Caat Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Important to get off to a flyer in the league. Hearts are a big strong side but susceptible to the pace our starting 11 last night possesses. So that's the side we should go with. We cannot be gung ho in Croatia so the side may get tweaked a bit over there. And then St Mirren we can maybe think of making 2 or 3 changes if required. By which time Devlin reckons he will be fit for sure and the new defender DM was talking about may also be onboard. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Exactly. If we get to the groups then that means we will have 10 more euro games between now and the end of the group stage. If you start gambling now and dropping points then you put yourself under more pressure later on when they actually need a rest Link to comment
Bamber Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Would you leave out Lewis? No We've only 4 fit defenders. Would you leave any of them out? No That leaves 6. Would you really change all 6? I'd say no. Change 2 or 3 then bring on a couple of subs early second half if need be. There's no need to be rash and gamble against Hearts.Yes I would leave out Lewis in a heart beat Cerny is an able replacement for this game - if Lewis dives into a post again and is out no way is that a good idea Yes I would leave out a defender any way I could change formation, play Campbell at left back whatever I can to get at least one off the starting line up id change as many as I could of the 6, Hedges Gallagher Ojo Mcginn Fergusson cosgrove. All are on the team sheet for Thursday already - I wouldn't risk any. already you are changing 3 and making 2 substitutes from the starting line up Link to comment

Thats a bit different from making a couple of changes. Why the panic about giving everyone a rest in the first league game? Link to comment
Bamber Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Not a panic Logical Its completely logical we play our best possible team on Thursday its completely illogical to risk any player at all who will be in the team on Thursday. Some players will have to be risked we are not a big enough team to swap out 11 players but we should remove from risk very single player we can on Sunday There are no result on Sunday that will make any difference to our season win lose or draw there is nothing to gainWin or draw on Thursday and we have a chance We should do everything in out power to make Thursday a possibility Link to comment

This early in the season means they are not 100% fit yet, so certainly don't need rested imo Link to comment

None of us would.

What happens if we are pipped for 1st/2nd by 2 points at the end of the season? We would then regret the bad attitude on the opening game of the season. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 seriously - Sunday is not worth any injury to any starter for next two Thursdays.The likelihood is we won't get to the groups. How would you feel if we get knocked out and we've got 0 or 1 point from 2 games. Or 2 points from 4 games. Link to comment
Bamber Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 id be happy we tried and done our best but if we miss out on a chance for Europe through a silly injury on Sunday is that worth it? if we miss out on Europe by 1 or 2 points come the end of the season it wont be because we have lost of hearts on day 1 ffs get a grip and some realism it will because we have been crap in a couple of games in March Link to comment

Bamber Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 . I'm out min. We'll just end up repeating ourselves now you are totally spot on neither of us will change the others views …… In summary you feel that spfl is our bread and butter, Europa is nothing more than a pipe dream - we should stay in reality I however feel Europa is a pipe dream as well and we should dream and risk everything on that dream by mitigating the risk and giving us the best possible chance The answer is not here today, the answer will be with us in two weeks time if we have done the right thing or not at that point one of us may or may not be right and we can both be right and both be wrong Link to comment

Bamber Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Then I apologise I got my misguided opinion based on the reading of your opinion that getting 3 pts of hearts was more important than Europa where you added you think we have no chance Sorry chief Link to comment

Bamber Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 bit of debate doesn't work on here - I found it quite challenging of my own thoughts much better than fucking nuts as a response to work on Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think McGinn for Wright is a shout. Derek said as much on Thursday after the game. Then take in Niall and give him half an hour tops. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think it'll just be two changes. McGinn will be rested. Possibly Wilson gets the nod? He may bring in Bryson which would be for Hedges or Gallagher you'd guess. Fat chance he drops Ferguson and Ojo doesn't need a rest yet. If Cosgrove had not just popped in a hatrick he might have been swapped for Main. Lewis Logan Considine McKenna Leigh Ojo Ferguson Wilson Bryson Hedges Cosgrove subs...Leigh to only do an hour and Hedges similar Link to comment

afc1903mad Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 BobbyHalkettSouttarBerraM SmithClare WhelanWalkerWhiteNaismith UcheLol, Whelan’s not signed yet, so you’re being desperate.Nae playing the young boy Hickey either.Reckon your dads army will be huffing and puffing oot of their arses after 20 mins Link to comment
Guest the shepherd Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Bobby HalkettSouttarBerra M SmithClare WhelanWalkerWhite Naismith UcheTempting fate by naming Glenn Whelan in your starting eleven min considering he has yet to sign (even then it is not ensured until he plays for you (remember our Jim McInally signing back in 1996)). It would be a great signing for Hearts though, providing he contributes to you doing damage against the toxic twins, but not Aberdeen, of course. Link to comment
pocrawred Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Bobby HalkettSouttarBerra M SmithClare WhelanWalkerWhite Naismith UcheThat team will cause a few injuries to our squad. Dirty fkn animals. I hate hearts as much as the two arse cheeks. Link to comment
Crossbow Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 One or two changes only. One or two early subs if game going well. We cannot sacrifice the whole season for a European run. If we win the third round we then sacrifice the next two games for the fourth and then if we get to the groups each win is worth so much we sacrifice games for the European win and so on. One game at a time. Players injure themselves training, running for the bus or dropping marmalade on their feet. They learn as a team playing together. Best team to win the game. Then the best team to win the next game. And so on. Simples. Link to comment
