1. Author: buffy Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:03 Here we are again. Boy, I’d love to be more excited about the fitbaw these days - I do try (honest!) - it has to get better. Team today : Mehmet Comrie Hamilton Otoo Ritchie-Hosler Chalmers Wighton Todd Fogarty Kane Clay Subs Briggs Fisher Wotherspoon O’Halloran Sutherland Young Cooper Mebude ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Post Edited (Sat 05 Oct 17:02) Reply |
2. Author: RMGpar Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:04 No McCann in the squad today! I would have started cooper, good luck boys we really need these points! Reply |
3. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:08 Formation change ? It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
4. Author: RossF Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:09 Disappointing to see no Tobi again. I feel he gives the defence so much more confidence but it’s just our luck he’s injured again. I’m not so encouraged with Mehmet starting… It’s about time we played two up top but I would prefer to see Sutherland or Mebude up front with Kane for a bit of pace but we can only hope Wighton does enough to show why he’s starting.

5. Author: Parfect69 Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:10 Cooper for Todd for me. Reply |
6. Author: desparado Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:10 This weeks mystery missing player is McCann then, there is always one. Strange looking team……. Let’s hope we are not making three subs at HT today….. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
7. Author: Berkey Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:11 Only comrie and fogarty are recognised defenders! Is mcpake going to pull a Jimmy C 2-4-4 formation and go all out? Although there are 4 defensive midfielder in there if you include clay. Our squad just always seems short of the players we need regardlesss of how many mcpake signs. No idea how that team will be set up? We look short of fit defenders again. Shame the keeper looks like a crock, warning signs were there as he was constantly injured last season too.

8. Author: hudza Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:12 God knows what formation that will be Our players just disappear, Tobi had a niggle a few weeks ago, same with Ngemya. Now McCann has just dropped out. Cooper not starting is baffling. I thought we would get a result today but less confident after seeing that team. Hopefully prove me wrong though. Reply |
9. Author: DBA Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:13 RossF, Sat 5 Oct 14:09 Did you see last week`s game? Wighton changed the game and heavily involved in the goal. Him and Kane are both capable of scoring, hopefully we actually create done chances for them. Reply |
10. Author: buffy Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:13 Infuriating to see Cooper on the bench, and I’d hoped Mebude would have started. Is he going to be a super sub? I’d rather we flew out the traps than play catch up. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |
11. Author: DBA Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:15 hudza, Sat 5 Oct 14:12 Disagree on Cooper. Despite the very good goal, in general play he lost the ball a fair few times in dangerous positions. Joe, KRH and Wighton deserve their starts and Cooper can be a very effective sub today. Reply |
12. Author: RMGpar Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:16 I would have started cooper and mebude just for the sheer buzz and to attack from the off! If the fans see attacking football we all get behind them from the off It’s a really baffling formation Reply |
13. Author: DBA Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:17 RMGpar, Sat 5 Oct 14:16 Agree on formation, but we`re starting with two strikers who are both capable of scoring goals given the chance. Pressure on Todd and KRH to make those chances! Reply |
14. Author: kelty_par Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:19 Back to the back three. Young dropped despite being one of out better players the last few weeks. Either Comrie or Ritchie-Hosler going to have to play out of position at left wing back. No attacking width in the team. So glad I`m not going today. Reply |
15. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:21 Mebude has been here five minutes. Unlikely to be match fit. Correct decision ton be on the bench. May get 15 mins ? It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
16. Author: DBA Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:23 kelty_par, Sat 5 Oct 14:19 When you`re feeling negative, this is the result. Strange take. Young was poor last week, and he can`t complain on being dropped. He`s still raw and needs to be managed. Why can it not be 4-4-2 with both Comrie and KRH in their natural position? Oh, because you`ve decided. Have a think about it. Reply |
17. Author: DJAS Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:24 Raymie the Legend, Sat 5 Oct 14:21 Totally agree. Blowing out his hoop after warm up last week. Sutherland is the one right now that should feel aggrieved he hasn’t had a start. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |
18. Author: Berkey Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:24 Massive game for Todd, if KRH more defensive it will be long punts up to the top 2 with Todd expected to support and link the play. Hopefully airdrie still have all thier injury problems! The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
19. Author: weemike Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:26 I predict a 4-2-3-1, Mehmet, Comrie Hamilton fogarty otoo, Chalmers clay, KRH wighton Todd Kane I don`t know how else you would shoe horn them all in. Post Edited (Sat 05 Oct 14:26) Reply |
20. Author: Paralex Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 14:29 Looks like he`s trying the dynamic twin strike force of Wighton and Kane. Are they up to it? I do hope so. Strikers hunting in pairs has always been my preference. Who could forget SAS? Maybe WK will form a wicked partnership ( in the best sense of the word of course. Just sipping a coffee in Starbucks adjacent to the Excelsior Stadium, which actually looks quite impressive from the outside. Let`s hope we can emulate the 4-3 game, without the 3 of course. Reply |
