Hoban rested
McGinn ditto

0-0

More meltdown on here

Resting players in August whatever next

With the 5 subs rule ,the game substitutions will /should play a big part ?

I'd reckon McGinn starts at no9 , with McClennan coming on in 2nd half ?

The new boy will get a runn too. As will Scott Wright .?

McGinn and McLennan looked lost through the middle (up top) on Thursday.
They both kept looking to pull wide all the time.
I think McGinn would do well in the hole, but didn't seem at ease up top on his own.
I know he's did it in the past, when he was much younger, but his game has adapted to being out wide and turning back on himself.
A bit predictable to be honest, but he does manage to get the ball whipped in if we had a striker to get on the end of it.
Looking at Watkins goals, a number of them were with his head, so I'd be expecting Watkins up front
Fitness will determine whether its from the start or from the bench

My guess at our starting eleven

Lewis
McCrorie
Taylor
McKenna
Hoban
Ferguson
Bryson

Hayes
Wright
Watkins

Dinna think McKenna will play / start.
So Hernandez in for him.
Considines back too.
Id like to see McCrorie in midfield so my team suggestion would be: -

.................Lewis
........Taylor Hoban Considine
Hernandez........................Hayes
...........Ferguson McCrorie
Hedges .......................Kennedy
.................Watkins

Subs
Cerny
Campbell
McKenna
Ojo
McGeouch
Bryson
McGinn
McLennan
Wright

True.

I doubt he'll drop Ojo. But yes, Mcgin in the forward three switching about rather than iytriggt no9?

I've absolutely no idea how it will go today - apart from being pretty sure it won’t be a goal fest & will likely be another brutal, eye bleeding spectacle.

But, as Sneckie said, I’ll take that in return for 3 points.

If I was a betting man, with us struggling up front, & Dykes away fae them, I’d go 0-0 today though.

One thing you can say from the various selections posted on here is circumstances have dictated that we do have some size of a squad just now - strikers excepted of course.

Got to be some departures coming once the potential Covid bans are dealt with & injuries start clearing (will that ever happen wi us?) given the window doesn’t slam shut until October...

Ojo has been dropped.

So has Hernandez,wondered how long it would be before Logan got back in the team.

HeHe, called it.
Only called two wrong with McKenna replacing Hoban and Logan replacing Hernandez.
Otherwise it is as expected
