is anyone drving down from glasgow?

im debating whether to go or not

i emailed the shop to ask and they said next mon is when they are hoping. should be on the web pretty soon as well

i will be there. driving up from glasgow

cox was actually good today. he was making runs forward and just not getting the ball all the time. so if the balls had been played through to him and he scored he would have been getting 5 :D but because he didnt get the pass he gets poor marks

i was talking to my brother last night and said that based on players we have just now out line up should be

esson

proc or tokely (undecided on which) munro A NEW CB(bully is a bombscare) zadi

hayes mcbain duncan/cox imrie

foran odi

Now if duff had been played instead on bombscare bully he hopefully wouldnt have got injured and he would be slotted in there. i felt that this team would be a mtach for most teams in the league with obviously having the likes of rooney, barrowman, sanchez, stratford, duncan/cox on the bench to bring on if needed.

if he s not playing against raith or dunf thenhe has to consider moving for his career.

based on the last time we were in the final there was a bit that had prize moneyh breakdown and winners got something like ?25k if that so not massive amounts but maybe pay basic for week and a half.

its if reaching the final the club can cash in on it in terms of tshirts/flags/scarves etc.

i mean in the first two mins he had charged down a long ball and won a throw in. not a major contribution but would we have seen that last year. just need him to score at the weekend and it to be the winner

on saturday he was never the one to be hooked at half time. was actually fighting for the ball etc

all the scorers were from british countries. no very often you can say that about a game in the EPL

eagle just looks like he doesnt have the confidence to beat a guy. hayes takes the ball and runs at the defenders.

agree with all that. midfield too mightweight. mcbain and duncan in to provide the dig. duncan will at least get in and take control of the ball and look for it, something neither of the current two do and mcbain can provide left mid position if hayes is used on the right?

control and passing is something most teams would work on. butcher maybe needs to go back to basics as whatever he is trying isnt working especially seeing as we cant do the basics.

if we do the simple things well then we will play well.

the boys were awful today. esson gets pass marks, great save from the pen but the rest were well below par. butcher needs to realise some of his signings are not up to it. eagle is a nightmare, like playing with a man down, when proc came on he at least threatened to do something. mcbain and duncan must be wondering what they must do to get a game. if i were butcher i would play the following team going on the basis that everyone is fit

esson

tokely duff munro zadi

imrie cox duncan mcbain

foran sanchez

subs: allison, proctor, hayes, barrowman, odhiambo

ive based this on that fact that duff did well last year. zadi at least tries to play he ball out instead of golly who just hoofs it clear, despite adding some dig to the team. midfield goes back to last years players as opposed the new guys as they have the dig to get stuck in and try grind out results. the midfield today seemed to go missing in periods. upfront foran needs to realise that the world doesnt revolve around him, complaining when balls are slightly off him, losing possession of the ball. he is a vital assest to the team and if he knuckles down and battles hard the goals will come for him and the team.

what the rest of you thinking?

This will be the same Duff who is unlikely to play again this season due to his injury?

i did say going on the basis that everyone is fit. if your going from now then put rosco CB, proc RB and stratford on the bench

today the control was pretty poor. at one point in the second half for about 5mins the team could not get the ball under control, poor touches stray passes etc. surely this is basic stuff worked on in training?

think its a no brainer he has to stay for QOS game. what is more important. a friendly or game against an improvong oppo

the shop has had some of the training tops in as i ordered one last week.

i will be there another 'home' game

i will be there. this is a 'home' game for me living in glasgow

i would go for joe keenan. good solid centre mid but can play left/right back and anywhere across the middle

fully fit midfield would hpefully look like (if we had barry back)

wilson cox duncan imrie

with duncan sitting allowing the other 3 to support the attackers

esson

rosco munro duff hastings

cox duncan stratford/mcbain

sanchez

barrowman foran

Subs: Allison, Proctor, Hayes, Ross, Sutherland

i dont know why duff isnt getting a look in. he was good when he played last year, really rated him

barry is on a 6month contract at QOTS that expires on 31st Dec
