Surely fans can go to ticket office and buy a ticket on the day the go to the turnstile?

Jim appears steady and non-tampering in his team selection.

Says he'll always play his best XI. Think he said something like that anyway.

With the above in mind, would imagine thus:

Barring any further injuries, that's exactly how he'll line up I think.

I clicked, and it really does bring back some grim memories. Hope we play them off the park and van Veen gets sent off as mercy red card to end the humiliation at how bad he is playing

Team picks itself ?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Agree.  Fancy McRorie in that position for a McKenna style 37 yard rasper to the RDS as well, his earlier effort having unfortunately taken Van Veem square in the face.

We usually try something different against them so I can envisage someone like Duncan starting.

Motherwell have appointed Steven Hammell as their new manager

Jim Goodwin is fairly consistent in his team selection.

Ryan Duncan won’t start.

I kinda hope you're right.

I do want Duncan to get game time against more physical sides though.

17-0 the Dons

Van Veen on a stretcher 

Fatty Hammell sent to the standard in McGhee like fashion

I think he’d be better getting a loan until January.

Get 20 games under his belt for an Inverness or the likes.

Do folk think Kennedy is a regular starter now or do we expect the likes of Morris to replace him in due course? 

Or will we move Besuijen back to the right if/when we get the elusive attacking midfielder on board?

I don't think he's done anything to justify losing "his" place, although considering the amount of players we have that can be shifted around I wouldn't be overly surprised to see him not play just so JG can try out other combinations.

He’s “got the jersey” so he’ll be in until his level drops. 
I still don’t think he’s good enough but for now he deserves his place. 
He’s been helped by both Morris & Roberts being unfit.

He’s also helped by the 4-2-3-1 formation.

If we played 4-3-3 you’d probably think Besuijen & Hayes would be the two wide players.

EDIT - Roberts is out until mid October with a hamstring injury. 
 

[Ten Caat]

Really can't make any judgement on Morris as I've never seen him play. My hunch is that for this season at least, he'll mainly be used off the bench. 

As 20two20 said, Kennedy has been consistently decent up till now and doesn't deserve to lose his place as yet. But I think I'd probably agree with aberdeen1970's suggestion that if/when we get this new attacking midfielder onboard that Besuijen will go back to the right......and it then becomes his responsibility to ensure he stays there. 

[aberdeen1970]

Aye, he's really been handed a lifeline has Matty 

[Robin Askwith]

New manager syndrome won’t be enough to stop the Red juggernaut on Saturday.

3 goals without reply, with KVV being stretchered off at some point will be palatable

What about the second half?

5-0

Miovski x 2, Besuijen, Scales, Hayes.

 

[Dal Riata Don]

New manager in and a side looking for a confidence boost to get their season up and running - we are going to have to batter them; none of this letting up after half time pish. 

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Kennedy seems to have impressed a lot of people with a few good performances against lower level opposition.

Which is all he's had the opportunity to do.

He's not done anything to deserve losing his spot so why not give him the chance?

Lets see how he gets on against Premiership teams then, as thus far he's been pretty much useless.

He's been interim manager the last few weeks so permanent appointment shouldn't make any difference so 2-0, Hayes and Miovski 

[Dave Bus]

2,785 tickets left in home end, could be on for a reasonable crowd here

Eh? He's been here since Jan 2020 min. 

4 good games v lower league sides, awol v the tims (no shock), ok home v St Mirren. Thats aboot his lot in his time here.

Fingers crossed he eventually comes good but I have my doots.
