Right back tonight?

[green glory]

Will be interesting to see who plays at right back tonight. Palsson needs to be back in midfield where he actually knows what he's doing. I think after his howler on Saturday, the lesson will hopefully be learnt. BUT who's going to play RB? Spoony?

Also with any luck we might actually see 2 strikers on the field from the start.

:flag:

[Diclonius]

Taggart?

[Brooster]

I don't know who will play rb but Palsson will play centre mid.

Wotherspoon is the best right back we have so he should be playing there.

Don't see any problem tonight, we might be poor but I can see us taking a few goals.

[allezsauzee]

I assume you want to see Booth removed from left back berth as well given that he was caught out for 1 goal on Sat and ripped a new one against Killie? We can't just change a player from a position every time they make a mistake.

[iwasthere1972]

Taggart?

He's murder.

[Gala Foxes]

I am thinking is it not time that Mark Brown got a shot at right back after all we have tried just about every other player out of position ?

If that doesn't work then Tam McCourt is in at Tynecastle

[Ryan91]

I have wondered why he didn't play Spoony at RB in the first place, especially given that he played RB for the best part of a season, and would have been a far better choice at RB

Cafu. Or Tam McCourt.

Actually ive no idea. Itd be easier to say who i DONT want to play there. So on the basis that ive never seen him play; Taggart.

No, I wouldn't want Booth removed. I don't actually blame Palsson for the goal on Saturday, despite knee-jerkingly calling it a howler. He was played out of position, and that's not his fault. He was clearly out of his depth in that position. The manager needs to take responsibility for that. As for Booth, I've got a huge amount of respect for him, he rarely puts a foot wrong. His passes are usually very accurate, although he didn't have a great game on Saturday. IMO it was more that he was fouled on Saturday, as opposed to him ****ing-up.

If only Michael Hart hadn't got injured, jings, not often you get to write that statement :greengrin:wink:

Scott Smith's playing at left back tonight.

[allezsauzee]

I think we need to have a wee bit patience with the players and manager to be honest. We're trying to get a new team to gel and that won't always happen straight away. Admittedly I'd prefer us to sign at least 1 more defender as I think we're short of cover and experience, but I think Palsson could play at right back if he had a run there.

[easty]

Airey?

[Franck is God]

I like Pallson as a player but I have yet to see him look comfortable at RB and because its clear he's not comfortable there he also doesn't go forward. On Saturday that was one of the only bright spots was the fact that Spoony was a vast improvement in the position and actually got forward quite a few times.

If O'Hanlon plays tonight it will boost the confidence of the whole defence and whichever full backs are picked will hopefully get forward and be more involved. I'd like to see Taggart & Smith given a start but after reading the article previewing tonights game it seems he won't be filling the team with kids.

[Sir David Gray]

To be honest, we should be able to play Garry O'Connor at right back tonight and still be able to win comfortably but I think tonight's team should be as close as possible to the team that plays at Tynecastle on Sunday.

I can't believe that he'll play Palsson at right back again, particularly since he hooked him at half time on Saturday so it really has to be Wotherspoon. He should be comfortable enough tonight but I'm not certain that he'll be the answer on Sunday.

[Franck is God]

He's murder.

You are kidding right, to be funny?

Or have you decided the fate of a 19 year old footballer that has a grand total of ten first team appearances (five as sub) and seven of those ten for Ayr United last season on loan already?

[Franck is God]

Airey?

Is back with Newcastle because he picked up an injury in training last week and out for a month, will be back when he's fit.

I hadn't heard that. Thought tonight would have been a decent shout to shove him in at RB to see what he's got as well.

[NeilOrrSquareBa]

I'll be right back....

Right back in ma hoose!
:wink:

[Sir David Gray]

Airey?

Phil Airey got injured in training, is out for a month and is currently back at Newcastle for his rehab.

And according to some on here, it's doubtful as to whether he'll even play for Hibs again as he didn't even want to be here in the first place.

Must be true then.:rolleyes:

A home win and "the worst home run comes" to an end :greengrin :aok:

[Sir David Gray]

Must be true then.:rolleyes:

I'm not taking it as gospel but, to be fair, it was a couple of people who usually have pretty reliable sources.

We won't be seeing him for at least a month anyway, I certainly know that much and that's definite. :agree:

[Franck is God]

Must be true then.:rolleyes:

A mate of mine is a Newcastle fan and says that Airey is a real home town lad and doesn't like being far away from home hence why he was probably sent back while injured.

I had also heard that he wasn't keen to go out on loan full stop but if he's going to be a pro footballer it will be something he'll have to get used to.

The one thing I was wondering, though, is why he was on that side of the pitch at the time.

Will he, not what i am hearing, infact i would be surprised if he is even injured.

Nah, then I'll just take out a couple of games and call it worst home league run ever.:greengrin

:agree: Must admit to never seeing the laddie playing. He can't be any worse than some of the guys who have played at RB for us recently.

It would be a crime not to select him.

[NOLA]

lets say Taggert plays tonight and has a good game, will he be in the team for the derby? i doubt it somehow, calderwood needs to resolve this position in the team pronto, not to do so is verging on negligence, who was RB when we played Berwick in pre-season?

[MB62]

Having tried every man and his dog, what about giving MARTIN SCOTT a wee shot?

[iwasthere1972]

Do we even need a RB? After all it's only Berwick Rangers we're playing.

I would even go as far as sticking Stacky up front with Garry O' and not bothering about a goalkeeper.

Taggart played RB against Berwick in pre season.

there you go then :aok: similar result tonite will do nicely :agree:

Airey?


Airey's missing his mammy. Gone back south. I'd cancel his contract and go after Leigh Griffiths. Or someone else who might actually want to play for us and be grown-up enough to move a few miles from home to do so.

I'd play Wotherspoon, with Palsson in midfield with Osbourne and Thornhill, and Ivan wide right, and two strikers from the start.

And O'Hanlon, Hanlon and Booth to make up the defence. Stack to stay in goal.

Stack; Wotherspoon, O'Hanlon, Hanlon, and Booth; Thornhill, Palsson, and Osbourne; Sproule; O'Connor and Agogo.

If Agogo isn't fit, I'd seriously consider playing Davie Crawford with Garry O.

But I believe Smith's down to play at LB.

Just realised.....Taggart......Murder.....

oops!

so who was playing at RB tonight? and how did he get on?

[LaMotta]

Wotherspoon and he strolled through the game. I would expect him to start at RB on Sunday.

Looks far more comfortable on the right ( i know the opposition were pish but still)

[ballengeich]

I thought Wotherspoon gave the ball away far too often this evening (as did Hanlon). I think he's a better full back than Palsson, who looked much more comfortable back in midfield, but he still wasn't too secure imo.

Wonder why CC was constantly shouting at him, often abusively, particularly in the 1st half then??! :dunno: :hmmm:
