Dunno if I would include Psycho as a Manager in charge, as Partick away was one of our worst performances of the season (and that's saying something).  Anyway, onto answering the OP and what we must not do is play a back 3 against a front 3.  Draws are no use, as we need 20 points, so the best form of defence is attack so 4-4-3 for me and if it means getting the ball forward quicker, so be it.  Needs must!  Why we never play a system that allows balls into the channels between full backs and centre backs is one of life's great mysteries to me, as it causes havoc and mayhem.  This team would do that.

Kawa/Zwick

Knoyle - Donaldson - Durnan - Dixon (and FFS dinna show Stewart inside)

Spittal - Paton - Rankin

Murray - McKay - Anier

But I would love for someone to tell me what's the jackanory with Robbie Muirhead?  Since he gave ArabZONE an interview he's never been seen again!

PS Anyone that saw my original, I had Morris in, as I was so intent in having GG nowhere near the team I forgot about Donaldson!!!

Very difficult to pick a best formation due to the complete lack of width in the squad.  The formation mixus playing I can understand because of this but he's far too defensive the way he sets the formation out.  There's only ever a max of 3 real attacking options plus 2 wing backs, 1 of whom had been dreadful and the other should be getting utilised further forward.

For me there are certain players that aren't trying a leg and then there's some who just aren't good enough, some are in both categories.

If I Was picking the team until the end of the season it would be

                                  Kawa
  Knoyle.      Donaldson.       Durnan.         Dillon
                                   Paton
                 Spittal.                      Rankin
                                   Anier
                          Ofere.        Muirhead

Subs
McGovern
Fraser
Murray
Demel
Souttar
Robson
+ 1 other from Dev squad

Basically the plan would be get it forward quick and get bodies in the box, maybe a bit basic but that's the squad we have and needs must.

Playing without a keeper is taking the attack option a bit far?

You've lost me RAM ..... Please do explain what you mean?
 

 
You've picked 11 outfield players Fooky.

Nine days ago few folk would have Anier anywhere near the squad, now he's a favourite!

I couldn't begin to guess as to our best 11 or formation, but Gunning wouldn't be there (the only one of Mixu's signings who has kept fit, too), and Spittal is wasted on the right. However, given the imbalance in our squad, he probably has to be placed there.

I'm very much thinking like Pat, I don't have an f'n clue what our best team is, and as for formation I would love to go 4-4-2 like Lao says, but it's not going to happen.

We're stuck with what we've got so based on what I've seen recently I would go:

Kawa

Durnan
Donaldson
Morris

Spittal
Demel
Fraser
Paton
Rankin

Ofere
Anier

Zwick, Knoyle, Dillon, FSP, Dow, Erskine, Murray

I don't want to see Dixon, Gunning or McKay in the first team unless injuries dictate differently.

LOL RAM I was looking at my 433 names going........"what the fuck are you on about, I've got 2 goalies down and you're saying I've none!!!???"  No offence taken.  I was word blind to my 443.  Never even looked at that bit!
