CalgaryDon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Why change Langfield? Not as if he needs a rest? Link to comment
stirlingsheep Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Christ, can't believe folk on here suggesting we 'rest' players. Has no-one else lived through the last 20-odd years? we have 3/4 of an excellent season and we now have to drop in form players for crucial games. If we're coasting 3-0 at half time, fair enough, take players on a booking off. The only player I'd consider not playing is Russell, and not through any form/resting, a red card (at any point), and he misses the cup final, and if there's one player that deserves a chance to lift a trophy on that pitch on 16th of March its Russell. 3 Link to comment
rossafc92 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Don't advocate 'resting' players, but certainly wouldn't mind Cammy Smith starting on Saturday. Looked hungry when he came on against St Johnstone. Link to comment
elephantstone78 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 This. They are no pushovers.Exactly. We are in this position because of key players like flood Hayes Anderson etc. they do not need rested. We generally only play once a week. Not like there has been a run of sat/tues games. Field a string side win the game. Simple. Fucking about with fielding squad guys or youngsters is just folly plain and simple. Am sure flood etc were they asked would not want to be dropped. Cup quarter finals are the games players look forward to. Winners want to play in all games. Link to comment
elephantstone78 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Strong side not string side. Pesky fat fingers Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Why change Langfield? Not as if he needs a rest?Cos he's shite Link to comment
CalgaryDon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 As said in my previous posts, put out the strongest side possibly. If Pawlett has a groin injury, swap him for Robson. Cammy Smith looked pretty lively when he came on against St Johnstone. Would like to see him involved more. Still want McGinn to start and hopefully score a goal. Anderson needs to play!

CalgaryDon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Cos he's shiteHe's better then Weaver.... Imagine Tate and Weaver playing at the same time! Scary stuff. Link to comment

Scotty_Toronto Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 LangfieldLogan Anderson Reynolds ConsidineJack FloodLow Smith McGinnRooney Subs - Weaver, Shaughnessy, Robson, Hayes, Vernon Langfield - additional time with our new backs (Logan/Tate) that might play re communication (and as has already been stated, he doesn't need a rest). Anderson - played 10 minutes v Celtic and zero minutes v St. J. He's definitely rested (and we don't want him thrown into the League Cup Final cold). If we're walking it then he can be replaced by Tate or Joe 'Shock' for the last 20 minutes. Low - to give Hayes (who's also on a yellow) a wee rest (and who would be strong off the bench for any of the three playing behind Rooney). Smith - I was more than happy with shift last game and have no worries about him filling in for PeePaw (who came off injured and is on a yellow) against the Sons. McGinn - needs to get a goal (and I don't care if it's against Melchester Rovers at this point). Rooney - can make way for Vernon if we are cruising it. (No inures and no cards for this one please!)

Miglo don Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's a massive game, I'd go full strength. Pretty sure they would have had a couple of easier days this week to charge the batteries! Link to comment
ollie1903 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Cup quarter final. Strongest side please. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
mavv1903 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 IN Strongest team possible.. 3-0 Dons Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 In, probably Main. Strongest team available please, Derek. 2-0 Dons. Link to comment
zander Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Resting players is a big no no for me. Momentum should carry these boys into another semi final and win the league cup. Link to comment
ebbe Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'd rest pawlett and Anderson, they're the main two we cannot do without, in the final. langfield logan considine Reynolds robson jack flood mcginn smith hayes rooney i'll take another terrible 1-0 as long we don't suffer any injuries unless ofcourse climbing frame fizzer ruptures a testicle on a peg holding doon the net.

fifered Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Only person I'd consider resting is pawlett if he has or might have some sort of injury. His importance for the cup final can't be underestimated. Other than that, first team, get the job done then rest a few like Hayes or Reynolds. Link to comment
TopDon Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 8-0 the Dons. Rooney to get 4, Hayes 2, Robson 1 pen and maybe Reynolds scoring fae a corner. 9-0 if pawlett plays. Sent from my U9202L-1 using Tapatalk Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I actually agree there. Although Not seen much of Tate to be fairTate has the full potential of a massive bomb scare. Remember Ifil? Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Tate has the full potential of a massive bomb scare. Remember Ifil? Yes. There's no comparison Link to comment
G31DON Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Anderson will start, Pawlett will be on the bench, one of Low/Smith for one of Robson/Flood... Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yes. There's no comparisonYou think Ifil is better? Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 You think Ifil is better? Wrong Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm just a bit concerned about Tate, Maybe the Ifil thing was an exaggeration, but he seems to create problems at times. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 He looked OK against Celtic, which is really the only game I've seen him play in. Seemed to read the game, and the flight of the ball well and passed the ball about OK. I think the change late on was more for Anderson's leadership than for anything else. I won't be leading a campaign to get him signed for next season, but have no fears in him being played between now and the end of the season - although I would prefer him to be used alongside Reynolds to make up for an obvious lack of pace. He had well over 100 appearances as a first choice centreback for a top English Championship side, before an EPL place and the money that comes with it saw him replaced. I think that demonstrates he has it in him to be a decent reserve for SP team. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looked to have a fairly poorly timed tackle on sat v st Johnstone.One that could easily have been a fantastic tackle or a red card. He was fully committed but thankfully nothing came of it (think it was the one where they hit the post)He's just maybe not had enough game time up here to get up to speed of our games?

I think he's had 10 games in 3 seasons so you may have a point (for once ) Link to comment
Sheeptastic Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Wouldn't worry about Tate, he obviously has the quality. Just a little lacking in fitness. Need to go as strong as possible in this game, however, I would advocate one or two players to rest or at least not to start. Maybe throw the likes of Pawlett on towards the end. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'd think the ticket sales will be boosted for this game by those requiring a purchase record to buy final tickets? Could get 12,000 - 14,000 in there - a few extras just with fitba on the heid because of the final too. Link to comment
