Sheepo Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hoban put out in front of the press to discuss the game so I would assume he is playing Link to comment

I'd rather risk an 80% fit Taylor (if he breaks down during the match fair enough we then have no choice but to bring on a youngster. Taylor's leaving anyway so if it happens then bad luck) Is he moving on? sounded like he was keen to get back and impress Glass for a new deal Link to comment

Just not the cup.........I realise that sevco are heavy favourites and that it's an outside shot that we could win it but we must give it our complete focus as the reward for winning it is so great.

Betty Swallicks Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hoban is not suspended. McCrorie is fit. Same back 4 and starting 11 from Wed I'd guess. Link to comment

Sometimes you've got to be brave if you want to win things We never really missed McRorie when he went off, no and Ramsay likely did better going forward. I think McCorie might have done better at celtics goal though. Maybe stop the cross coming in? All hear say of course. I agree to a point in being brave but Ramsay is just 17 and plays in a position where there is little or no room for error. I just think McCrorie is a "safer" pair of hands in what will be a season defining game. If McCrorie is fit he will likely start is my point. Ramsay looks to have a great future and has done great so far but its a balacing act. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Ramsay keeps his place in the side for me. Offers far more than McCrorie in an attacking sense and more mobile . Even if McCrorie is fully fit, I still wouldn't be immediately restoring him into midfield either. His recent form has been generally shite.......with occasional glimpses of improvement to mediocrity. McGeouch deserves a run out ahead of him. 1 Link to comment

He's got a problem I think if he wants to be a first team regular in one position here rather than a utility man. The ultimate McInnes poster boy signing. Can do a half decent job in a number of positions but not good enough to improve the side in any one position. But will run all day. Will pick up plenty of games due to injuries in a number of positions but he's a decent squad player for me. Link to comment

Aye. Ferguson, Campbell and Brown will be ahead of him and McGeouch in midfield next season you'd think and Ramsay will be at RB (with possibly Ronnie back too in the winter). With Consi getting on and Taylor and possibly Hoban away I wonder if he could just concentrate on being a centre half? Not fussed if he's going to be a utility player tbh. You need 1 or 2 of them in a squad. Its a problem when you have a squad full of them like McInnes liked. Link to comment

The two transfers were completely separate though really. And Wright was going to fuck off for nothing in the summer. I don't think we had much choice but to do what we did. Link to comment
