Just thought the board need a new topic.. heres a pretty lame thread but how does everyone think Ross will play preseason matches... Play safe and test out the squad or go all out to gauge how well we adhere to new tactics etc...

I'm not too sure to tell the truth..
 
It's an interesting one because on one hand you'll have a group of players keen to impress the new coach and play themselves into his best 22 and on other hand you have a coach who has come from a club that traditionally rests their senior players until the real stuff starts.

For what it's worth I think we'll either see none or very little of Maguire, Hayes, Hamill, Gehrig, Harvey and Thompson during the pre-season. I'd probably put Hudghton, Voss and M Clarke in the same category although in the case of the latter they might want to give him a run with his new team. I'm sure they'll take a conservative approach with Kosi and Ball as well.

It would be great to see players like Ferguson (if fit), McQualter, Brooks, Watts, Sweeney, Rix, Raymond, Armitage, Howard, Gwilt, Gilbert, Birss and Allen stake a claim for a spot in the team.
 
I would hope Ross plays the list from the bottom up.

He comes accross to me as a modern old-school thinker on most football issues (I know that sounds like a contradiction) and I'd be surprised if he treated the P/S as anything more than a series of practice matches.

If that's the case then I agree 100%.

I think that by "?? elaborate", Vaul was actually asking you to describe how you know he will be playing in the first match.
