[FTFun]

Banks is away with a Scotland squad

Last season v Alloa in this diddy cup only the ET was open. 1000 attended. The atmosphere was non existent, as it will be on Saturday.
If the club feel this is the cheapest way to operate this tournament then so be it.
I'll be there but honestly couldn't care less If we get papped out.

Ayr away is our next cup final.

I’d go

Deniz
Watson Butcher Reynolds Robson
Chalmers King Harkes C Smith
Clark Appere

Balances game time for those who need it and gives 3 of back 4 another game together and Appere experience of playing with others in the side.

Canny risk Robson, literally the only LB at the club

Not having that. He is definitely not literally the only left back at the club.

The real match against Arbroath will be in a couple of weeks time.

Neither team on Sat is going to risk any of their players getting injured or sent off.

Arbroath have a much smaller squad than United, but I suspect they will play a few of their fringe players.

Whatever the result, the return match in a few weeks time will be a very different game for both teams.

no way i'd field as many first team players as that, not worth the risk, especially defensively

[arab81]

Terry, what other left backs do we have?

And Sporle is off to Argentina for some reason.

[arab81]

Sporle is gone, I'm 90% certain he wont be back. As i said, Robson is the only LB at the club just now, wrap him up in cotton wool at every opportunity.
