the saline hill puma Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Final friendly tonight. Be interesting to see what kind of team we put out. Can see some of the younger players getting a decent run out with our first game on Saturday. Games being shown on Alloa tv for those that cant make it.

Digs Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Although, if you're paying for Alloa TV, just hope none of the lineos or the ref are bald or you'll miss half the game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastendtales Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Aye hopefully see a younger line up. A lot of the lads have already played twice a week now, don't want us sluggish on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Army Par Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Aye, second string tonight. Little Comrie, Fisher, Otoo, Fenton Allan, Chalmers O'Halloran, McGowan, Tod Sutherland. Trying to put together a second string and it highlights where we are still short. We need some form of right back cover. If Comrie was out we would be struggling. Midfield is probably one short too. Certainly forward areas short. Need another 4 players I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For right back, Fisher can cover in there, but Chalmers and Tod are also more than capable cover in those positions both having played there for significant periods in their career. It wouldn't matter anyway as we don't play 4 at the back, we play 3 CB's, 3 CM's with two wing backs in Comrie and Edwards who tuck in when we have the ball with Wigton up front and one playing off him in either McCann, O'Halloran, or McGowan (albeit he hasn't signed). That's been our formation for most of the past year. That being the case, RB, in the true sense of the word, isn't as much of a problem.

Eastendtales Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Chalmers is not a full back. He might have played there before but that doesn't mean he'd be any good. He's too slow for it I reckon. Geggan was the same. Played full back, everyone thought who the **** did we sign? Moved to midfield and became a modern day hero .

I put a 4-2-3-1 down as I was trying to fit fringe players into a team for tonight and thought that suited better than three at the back with the fringe players When I say RB I mean RWB. Forgot about Todd playing RB but prefer to keep him in AM if Comrie was out longer term. Chalmers played briefly at LB for ICT and was very poor by all accounts.. Again i'm more thinking about a 5-6 week injury to Comrie would take a Fisher or Todd away from their strongest position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend85 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 This is a game is one where at least 3 or 4 trial players should be available but that isn't something we do unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we just generally would need to hope both comrie and KRH are not out at the same time, but that’s a risk we need to take for every position. 3 options per position is only the type of luxury clubs at the top end of Europe have. Yeah KRH has already got an injury, but it’s not like he’s out for the season, all going well he’s potentially available at the end of August, that would only be 2 league games missed, more likely it’s slightly longer and he misses 5 or 6, not exactly a period you would expect comrie to be unable to come through. Maybe we do get unlucky and need to shuffle things about, that’s the reality of football at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
