Team for elgin and huntly

[fraser]

Caley have two pre season games on the 14th and 15th of july. The squad will have to be split into two starting elevens. How would you split the team for each game? Or does anyone know how it is going to be split?

[CaleyMad]

Esson

Proctor Tokely De Wagt Munro

Holwijn Cox McBain Eagle

Barrowman Foran

For both games

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

For both games - and I am to be ignored - :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Kids today dont know feck all !!!

I wouldn't even attempt to pick a team. Pre-season friendlies are a way of getting some match fitness for the players and at the same time allow the manager to play around with formations. They usually involve mass substitutions and position changes and are seen by managers and players more as training sessions than games.

So are you advocating that we dont play the same team on two consecutive nights ?

Back in the dark ages (1950s), I saw Caley play two games in a day, on more than one occasion, with virtually the same team out. No substitutes then either!

No. I'm saying a mix of the 20 or so players we have will play on both nights.

[AJS]

All 5 trialists are being kept on for the next 2 games so expect to see them.

[Georgeios]

It is stupid to think that we'd play the same teams... However that said I also dont care if we win them as the point of the games is to watch the lads on Trial... so as mentioned, I dont care what 11 play as long as we get the most from the trialists... so id guess we'd play a good team first half, then change for trialists second half then next day start with some trialists... lets face it... they need to put the work in and show a what they can do in a very short time so 2 games in 2 days.... moneys worth...

I hope we dont play, Foran, Cox, Munro, Esson,Tokely,Duncan,Mcbain,...They have nothing to prove they are in the team, as we risk them getting hurt burning them out, Yes play them for a bit to see how the trialist line up with them but get them off... Its not about the winning for these games more the taking part and what part they played....

however Foran and Rossco are on bans... when do they start?

:lol:

Just helping out the new guy

When your drunk, you do come up with the weirdest posts

back on topic,

i agree that foran shouldnt be played in these games now you have raised that point. Just like Paathelineen got injured v Peterhead at the start of last season. That resulted in him being paid off and he went back to finland.

[DornochJAGGIE]

I would field the under 12s girls team tbh. Probably still win.

[DornochCaley]

Thats known as over confidence. Probably true though.

Is anyone going along to the Elgin game? Two of us are going through as we only live in Forres and are starved of football! Does anyone know how much it will cost to get in?

I will be going, and probably my old man also, but on the cost front, I haven't a clue

Went last season and they charged a fiver + a quid if you wanted to sit in the stand.

?2 to get in the stand now

[CaleyMad]

If your standing at the front of BB, go round the right side of it and at the back there is a tear at the gate. If u are small enough to get through then your doing alright. Brings you out just at the side of the shelter at the back.

After half time or maybe even a bit before it you can go into the main stand because the steward isnt there to check your tickets.

Also the gate is open at half time (where the ticket gate was) and you can go to Tesco for half time snack instead. It also is used for me and my mates coming into the ground at the second half. (i will be there from the first half tho)

Dont buy a pie there (or a coffee) Theres more *proper* meat in a beetle.

The tanoy isnt good, its all muffled and distorted. Get team lines instead and mark off on the sheet of paper who the starting line up is.

and i have more hints and tip[s for the foress game :mellow:

[caley100]

Esson has a wee knock, so Kelly is playing to-night, and Kyle Allison will be in for tomorrow against Huntly.

Still working out if i can make it to Hellgin to-night.

Completely wrong.

BB's has had amazing pies for the last 2 or 3 seasons, which are sourced locally from an quality, award winning Elgin butcher. PieandBovril had Elgin voted the best pie in the 3rd division if I remember rightly...

I've seen Elgin a few times in the last 2 or 3 years and every pie has been incredible.
