MacK1950 2,226 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) With Goldson out it has to be McCauley/Katic at centre back as the first half trial of Flanagan playing there in friendly did not bode well. Sorry forgot about Worral so any two from three. Edited January 22, 2019 by MacK1950 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't our players train on plastic pitches (as well as grass) pretty much every day? We have an indoor synthetic pitch at Auchenhowie. The point about synthetic pitches being used at elite level is a different question. Synthetic pitches will never provide the experience of grass pitches. But if they were that dangerous we wouldn't all be training on them, never mind the fact that the vast majority of youth football is played on plastic these days. First team train on grass, predominantly - unless weather causes them to go inside. There is also a 4G synthetic outdoor pitch at Auchenhowie (was laid last summer) but that is used for the Academy teams. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry forgot about Worral so any two from three. Would be Worrall & McAuley for me. My worry with Katic & Worrall would be the lack of experience. So, I guess, for me it would be McAuley plus one of the other two. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,598 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 McAuley is frightfully slow, that’s my only concern on the counter with the quick Brophy and Jones. Katic looked good against Helsinki, good to see his goalscoring threat too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katic looked good against Helsinki, good to see his goalscoring threat too. Agreed Re McAuley's pace. However, I personally would go for experience over pace. The full backs (if Tavernier and Barasic) should offer cover inside for McAuley if needed (depending on which side of CB McAuley were to play. My fear with two inexperienced CB's is being pulled all over the place and communication - McAuley as the old head can marshall the back line. Wonder if Clarke will play Jones or not - is definitely a risk because if he has a bad game Killie fans will be on his case for the rest of the season for not trying against his future employers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,540 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'd play Katic and McAuley. That way we have experience, a wee bit of pace and a goal threat at set pieces. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Worrall and Katic for me. I’m just glad we are back playing football again! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
