I probably would risk them just to keep the rust off before the season starts/next round.
I think 2 or 3 changes but nothing drastic.
Might see the likes of Bartley get a game.
Still trying to get them up to speed so going a couple weeks without a game wouldn’t do anybody any favours ahead of the next round.
Seeing as we barely arranged any pre season friendlies, and chose to 'rest' key players in one of them, we'll need to play a strong side. They need the minutes to be ready for the Greek side.
I'd mix things up a bit, without completley changing the first 11. Maybe 4 or 5 changes, would start Gray, Swanson and Bartley, maybe Porteous as well if fit enough. Our squad right now is small enough that there's only so many changes you can make in any case.
I’d still plays the bulk of the team. Still think we’re a bit away from full match sharpness
Think we need to play the same 11 that will be expected to play the Greek team. 2 weeks without a game won't help anybodies match sharpness for what will be a much tougher tie.
Id leave Boyle out . He's lucky that maniac never broke his leg last night . That would have ended his season,possibly his career
I think i'd make a couple of changes, mainly those on bookings (is it still 2 bookings before a suspension?)
Bogdan
Gray
Efe/Porteous
Hanlon
Stevenson
Bartley
Mallan
Slivka
Swanson
Murray
Shaw
Wouldn't mind seeing the likes of Scott Martin get 45 minutes as well.
Tie not over .... strongest team possible
1st name on the sheet ....... McGinn. :greengrin
Still in pre-season and players need games in the legs. I'd be tempted to start David Gray in place of Whittaker, and give Sean Mackie the full game in order to give Lewis a wee break after the summer and his extended season he had away with Scotland. Bartley would come in and get 90 minutes (for me) assuming his ankle is fine, and perhaps Swanson in for Boyle so he isn't risked for the next tie. Would also rest Kamberi seeing as he is on a booking with Murray or Lewis Allan coming in.
So 5 changes from yesterday would probably be wise.
Flo and Daz picked up bookings so they drop to the bench or rested to save them from possible suspension in next round. Ryan Porteous in alongside Paul Hanlon and Efe with Gray getting game time.
Wouldnt change the midfield and play Oli Shaw up front. Murray may well be away by next week so I would bring Martin in to support him,
Couple og changes. I'd leave Boyle, McGregor & Stevenson out.
Give Porteous a chance, Kamberi & Shaw more time together and another opportunity to see the midfielders.
Bogdan
Efe
Porteous
Hanlon
Boyle
Scott Allan
Mallan
Bartley
Stevenson
MacLaren
Shaw
[keep Kamberi on bench as he's on a yellow]
Admittedly, this line up assumes some transfer activity...
Let’s not forget Napoli when considering taking a second round match for granted.
The tie is over.
Don't know the odds for Runavik turning the tie round but I am certain you'll get a good price.
I don’t think Kamberi or McGregor will start having been booked. I’d expect another 3 or 4 changes on top of that.
