I'm very hopeful that Saturday will be an entertaining and successful 90 minutes.

Watmore looks an extremely exciting prospect, direct and a bit unconventional. We haven't had anyone like that at ER since Ivan used to get us off our seats.

Haynes too, should bring something different to the side, namely pace, and all in all, the prospect is tantalising.

I don't expect to see much of Boateng, but I'm sure he'll feature at some stage.

Should be good.

I'm looking forward to another run out for Stanton. If he carries on from 2 weeks back we will be fine. Plus more game time for Harris.

Be nice to see new lads but hopefully our young lads start the match.

Just as exited to see what Haynes can do, good feedback from friends down south that as long as he is fit he will bang them in. Watmore is exciting though, true edge of the seat player by all accounts, really looking forward to seeing them play

Might be a while before we can see him in the US. I don't see any coverage on TV for this next game and I don't think Hiberniantv/xtra has it either. No audio either.

I'll need to follow post by post commentary on hibs.net where at least it won't be biased. :greengrin

I'll be my usual boring balanced self and wait until I have seen them play a few times before passing judgement.

When I don't know of a player I am not excited about going to see them I am intriged.

I don't go on what people "in the game" say about them. Managers , media pundits and agents will always talk players up. Some end up being good, some bad and some ugly.

As an aside, the only thing I find more annoying than fans moaning about players being rubbish, is fans moaning about fans moaning about players being rubbish. It's the fans fault don't you know. We are the worst fans ever. :yawn:

Boateng and Nelson centre half wouldn't surprise me to be honest maybe a temptation to give Hanlon an extra week, delighted he's back though been a big miss, if he starts, boateng on the bench as said above Forster has done nothing wrong at RB to miss out, I'm more interested to see what happens up front, be good to see Haynes but Stanton was great behind Collins last game...finally abit of real competition for a jersey though

I'd agree to an extent, I think Forster has done ok when at RB. However, he's a bit like Stevenson at LB for me - good and solid defensively, but on occasion when he does get forward can be a bit wasteful with the ball. If Boateng is a more rounded full back, I think he might get the nod.

I'd actually like to see Forster and Hanlon back in the middle, if we can forge a defensive central pairing who will play together for the next few seasons that would be a massive difference to us defensively I reckon. I like Nelson also, but for me I'd stick with the young guys who haven't done much wrong when paired together recently.

We need Nelson just now, much weaker at the back when he isn't playing.

I happen to think Forster is good to watch going forward. Always trying to beat men, and more importantly looking for a green jersey to pass to rather than hoofing

Right enough, silly me.

They're in the league below us. We barely need a midfield to beat them, never mind a strong one.

I sincerely hope Terry Butcher isn't as arrogant.

Aye. Ross County absolutely walloped our midfield in the first quarter final tie in 2010 I seem to recall. At home.

It happens, and Raith will be physical enough to do it.

GreenOnions
07-02-2014, 05:52 PM
It's always good to see new faces in the team. However, we've had a couple of promising additions recently that have helped us - the return of both Harris and Stanton. I think we'd all like to see them much more. With Hanlon and Robertson also returning we're already a lot stronger.

With the medium term in mind I'd still like to see Forster retain his place and gain more experience as, for the most part, he's been excellent for us.

We do need more pace and width though so I'd like to see Watmore start with the other newcomers on the bench:

.....................Williams

Forster....Nelson....Hanlon...Stevenson

....................Robertson

Watmore....Stanton...Craig.........Harris

......................Collins

Only one out-and-out striker but still a pretty attacking line-up I'd say and potentially both flexible and entertaining!

Subs: Murdoch, Boateng, Taiwo, Thomson, Zoubir, Heffernan and Haynes

I really don't see many changes from the last few games. In fact, it would be poor man management IMO to leave out players that will be our future beyond the end of the season or those who have performed well recently.

I think Nelson & Hanlon will be the centre backs and Williams in goal. Forster will be right-back. Stevenson, if not in midfield, will be the left back assuming McGivern is out.

Up front, Collins will play possibly with Haynes, though I think it would be good to give Cummings a run out against a lower league team.

In midfield, I can't see him dropping Harris nor Stanton (especially if Stevenson is at left-back) and expect to see two from Craig, Robertson, Tawio and OTJ.

Watmore will be on the bench, as will Boateng.

All IMO, but I know nothing............!!

Edit: looking forward to the game, can't wait!

Ok. You're entitled to your opinion, but a 4 man midfield with only one tackler would be overrun by most half decent football teams.

Have you seen how little support Harris gives the left back?

Raith would thank us for fielding those 4. That's my opinion.

Of course, TB may agree with you.

I'm looking forward to seeing Haynes most. His interview on HTV was good, but i really warmed to him when asked to choose between 'The Only Way is Essex' and 'Made in Chelsea' he said 'neither' with clear disdain.

Agree and can't see T B wanting to take a risk given we have lost last three games .He will want to get us back to winning ways especially at home Hayes could start and Watmore to come off bench or vice versa .Maybe depends on whether Heff has shown he is fit enough to come back in .

If any of the loan guys are to start the game I think it will be Haynes. hes had more first team experience.

When you look at performances against Celtc it makes the team selection a difficult one for TB,

Stanton and Taiwo were very good, so its hard to drop guys when they've done so well the game before (result excluded), he wont drop Craig, Hanlon is a certainty to come back into the team,

so for me that leaves only really zouby as a potentially replaceable at the top end of the pitch from the team that faced celtc.

I'd go..

I am looking forward to seeing Watmore play though. just dont think it will be from the start.
