Ton v Clyde Saturday 26th July.

[Mr.Blue]

We still have a chance of progressing to the next round but need to win by a few goals and hope other results go out way. Dougie shared that Ballantyne and Garrity will be back which is great news however Blues and Shaw are missing as a precaution. Be interesting to see if we have any more trialists in the squad today and if the youth players are on the bench again (seemingly they are two boys recently brought in from Alloa).

Storer

Gillespie Moore Longridge Delaney 

Wilson Robertson

Crawford 

McKay Adeloye Moffat

Subs - Murdoch, Corr, Hart, Ballantyne, Taylor, Davies, Garrity.

Go all out for a win. 4-1 Ton.

Assuming Ballantyne isn’t risked from the start, I’d also start Gillespie at rb. In that instance I wouldn’t mind seeing Crawford drop deeper today in a game we should dominate. An opportunity could then be given to Robertson in the more advanced midfield role to press the life out of them. 
 

Hopefully the players start aggressively, bearing in mind we probably need to dish out a rogering today. 
 

Is Taylor available?

I'm assuming he is but that's a good point re Taylor.

[RossMcC1874]

Hopefully we are able to start fast and get a goal early and it's not a long frustrating afternoon.

I would like to see Robertson play the full 90 he impressed when he came on against Motherwell. 

Garrity and Ballantyne back also really helps but possibly only an appearance from the bench if they are not match fit yet. 

Taylor maybe still waiting on clearance? If not would be good to get a first look at him for me. 

Going for 3-0

Thanks for this info.

If im conpesmentus in a couple of hours I would like to see the game.

 

Edited, I found the FAQs. Hope the streaming gods are in our favour. 

[Ferguson]

Would like to see Robertson start here, add a bit of aggression in the middle of the park. Gillespie into right back, where he actually played quite well against Stenny. 

[Hands of Cowan]

Would also like to see us use the right wing more than we did in the Stenny match. At times Gills was screaming and whistling for the ball to come to him. Our 1st 2 goals came from right side crosses so we can and should use it to our advantage.

If Davies has been told to find another club, then he shouldn't be starting unless there's literally no one else available. Waste of time.

[Hands of Cowan]

Tannoy woman's voice is already doing my head in.

[dunning1874]

Adeloye being put clean through after 2 minutes then taking such a bad first touch it was basically tackling himself isn't what you're after when you could realistically still go out on goal difference with a 6-0 win.

Well worked goal and we've been very tidy, but we really need to pick up the pace if we're going to score enough.

WTF is wrong with it?  

[vikingTON]

Our back line should be at the halfway line to just constantly push for goals. It doesn't fucking matter whether we concede a goal or two at the moment.  Playing this like a comfy 2-0 win is enough is another example of piss-poor in game management (Imrie at least is trying to speed things up at the touchline). 

[dunning1874]

This is getting infuriating to watch, we're going at a pace as if this is a league game where being 1-0 up is great and this steady pace where we gradually move it and still create more chances is managing it well.

This is a situation where we need to rack up as many goals as possible and winning 1-0 is as useless for progression as losing, we should be going all out for goals and the players are acting as if they don't even realise it.

[Stevie Aitken's Love Child]

Tempo needs to lift a bit, quite flat. You can tell we're looking to play on a certain way but when we're not being pressed enough we're ponderous on the ball a bit.

Loads of attacking options on the bench with Moffat, Garrity and McKay, plus O'Halloran, to run at tiring legs which should hopefully yield a few late goals.

Seems so monotone and she seemed astonished that we had 2 linesmen officiating today. I had a teacher with similar voice so it's triggering to me.  Just my opinion though. Bit of humour with the Dundee halftime score line tbf.

[GiGi]

Less fucking about posing for pictures after scoring against fucking Clyde please. You score, you grab the ball and put it back in the centre circle like a team who has limited time to chase a good few goals.

Agreed. One stiff handshake and on with the game. 

[dunning1874]

I'd be going full Jim McLean and fining Davies and Adeloye for walking slowly off the park when subbed there. Hurry up!
