pezza70 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 As we have now qualified for the play off do you think we play our strongest team on Saturday against Hibs to try and build on the win against Aberdeen or do we play it safe and not run the risk of injuries and cards which may lead to suspensions for the guys who will be playing in the first leg?

Saintdunc Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 This is the ideal opportunity to have Bair, Mahon, Gilmour, Eetu, Sang and even Max, if he is in the country, on from the start.

Max was at the game last night but I'm not sure we're allowed to field him this season as he's already played for two teams? Agree, though, that we should probably protect our key players during the Hibs game and give some of the fringe players a chance.

Rob Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Time to rest players, not for fear of injury but the cards thing would be a worry. I presume they don't reset for the play offs. Bair or Cifti to start I would think. Anyone know how far Spoony is off getting mins. He was back training so wonder if he is ready to get 10 mins yet or if it is way off.

south inch Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Callum certainly suggested last night that if possible his team on Sunday will not include key players carrying knocks or those at risk of suspension. Add on the likes of Zander and Middleton who might not be in either category and it will be interesting to see who is left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we noticed he wasn't with the other subs at half-time and didn't come out to warm up during the second half until close to the 70 minute mark. We were speculating over whether he'd injured himself or chucked a wobbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkeldneil Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I remember all the games we had when we where playing in Europe this season at the time I hoped that callum would rest a few of the players when we could but he didint hopefully he does but unfortunately with his stubbornness can't see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBored Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Got to rest Hendry. Would be a nightmare if he picked up an injury prior to the play off. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rest him and Middleton for starters. Muzz is due a rest. At the age of the guy he was still charging all over the park at 94 minutes. There are few others that could be rested but we don't want a bad defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny B Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Sunday's game means nothing. Do not play your playoff starting XI nor anyone who is a yellow card away from suspension. That is commonsense. However CD does not seem to have any he will play our only back 3 and other starters and hope for the best. If he does it may come back and bite him pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May and Middleton are rightfully both ahead of him in the queue, and Ciftci might be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
