[Matchday] 9IAR Champions Vs The Uglies - 17.10.20 - 12.30PM K/O

Shouldn’t laugh but.

 

Only one set of fans begging for the game to be called off.

The rage when we get all three points with a ravaged COVID-19 depleted squad.

 

Christie hasn't really turned up against them and he's been poor lately... however in saying that I'm sure he is still our top assists provider. Not having him and a fit Edouard is a blow but we have the squad to cope without them (but we can't afford to lose any other players).

In the next week and a half, we need to get Griff, Klimala, Ajeti and Rogic fit and firing. There's no games but hopefully we can increase the intensity of their training programmes.

 

Don’t think he’ll throw Turnbull in for this game. He’ll defos go with Ntcham but I think Rogic is much more proven in games against them. Ntcham gone missing too many times against them for me.

I doubt he’ll be starting Laxalt for this. If we go back to 4-2-3-1, then I’m actually okay with Taylor there as he has someone ahead of him.

From what we’ve seen so far, I don’t think you can throw Ajeti in after an injury. He takes a bit of time to get going. The question is, is Eddy defos ruled out for this? It’s all a bit ambiguous with quarantine/isolation periods etc etc.

 

He probably will go with Ntcham but I quite like the idea of Turnbull on the big pitch when it's more open..

Laxalt he indicated is good to go now the other day..

Ajeti think I saw was already running and gonna be training by the end of the week. Only been out for a couple of week's then. He should be fine..

 

Ajer will be fine he posted this 2 hours ago.

 

Barkas
Elhamed Duffy Ajer Laxalt
Brown McGregor
Frimpong Turnbull Elyounoussi
Ajeti​

 

Good to see cause I'm sure he probably travelled with elyounassi too

Ye but likely Lennon would pick ntcham ahead of Turnbull. For all our good work during the window we are actually a bit short for rcam when playing the 4231 but frimpong could also do damage that advanced

Hope he goes with Turnball , Brown and Ntcham has never worked we are far to pedestrian when they play together

 

I think that's the team that gives us the best balance with the personnel available.

If they push their full backs up then it could leave a lot of space for Frimpong and Moi to exploit. Isolate their 2 CBs and get cross balls in for Ajeti, Turnbull and McGregor to attack.

 

Would be my exact team..

 

Ye I agree , it would be the team I would pick , just fancy Lennon to go ntcham over Turnbull ..

Frimpong's pace on the counter would make them think twice about letting Barisic venture too far forward.

If he's left to run at Goldson and Helander/Balogun, he'll embarrass them.

 

Yep his pace and having the license with Elhamed behind..

Ajeti with his hold up play and movement..

Laxalt with the pace to go beyond Mo, letting him cut it...as well as McGregor no having to cover as much..

I like it a lot for this..

Klimala, Griff and Eddy on the bench..

Rogic, Ntcham, Bitton and Jullien etc also. Lots of option's..

 

This had better go ahead. The killie game was called off the other week and im sure the points were awarded to the opposition. Id rather the teams grannies played the * than hand them 3 points without kicking a ball.

 

I assume we would be able to cobble a team against them , they are not immune with much less resources ! few call offs see if they want it scrapped then ... tramps !

 

Huns got Covid cases?

 

League Cup rules vary to the league’s. It was Killie’s league cup game which they forfeited. The reason the rules vary is primarily down to the limited timescale to complete league cup fixtures.

Any league games which are unable to go ahead due to Covid will be postponed and rearranged. The only way a club would ever be punished and made to forfeit the game is if they are deemed to have broken protocols, which there’s no reason to believe has happened here.

 

They might be lucky before facing us but they'll definitely be faced with something similar to this over the season..
