Aye mate,i would.

In an ideal World i would always like to see a 442 but to play that successfully you need 2 good wingers with decent pace and who can cross a ball and 2 guys in the middle who can work their bollocks off,win tackles,defend and drive forward.There's no better sight in football than a 442 team playing that system well though.

We don't have much option but to play a 5 man midfield for the time being IMO.

I wouldn't be adverse to playing 5 at the back tbh. Need to stop leaking goals.

Aye if we continue to lose games might have no option but to go 5-4-1 just to attempt to stop the rot.

Let's see how we go Sunday.Maybe (just maybe) we'll see an instant improvement.

Oh, for the good old days of 2-3-5......

I like Zwick, but I really think we should get an experienced keeper in. It's easy to say a dodgy defence puts pressure on the keeper, but I think it works both ways. The goalie can have a massive influence on the confidence of the defence.

I'd quite like a back 3/5 as well. The only issue is that for me you must have a left footed centre half for it to work.

Sunday just got a wee bit more important what with Partick winning and us away to Celtic on the 25th.

Normally would be more interested to see some improvements under the circumstances, rather than looking for points, but I feel we need something, even a draw from this both for a confidence point of view and to hopefully avoid falling much further behind.

Dow? Fucking Dow?

Next year will be a big year for Ryan Dow. So much potential.

How old does a player have to be before we stop talking about him having potential?

It should be 21 tops surely.

Rocky Raccoon · 17/10/2015 6:25 pm

I think we will win, the new gaffer syndrome will kick in, that plus Hearts ar not what they think they are.

I also thought we would murder Partick though.

Waffelz · 18/10/2015 2:27 am

We're absolutely fucked if we don't win this.

Haha, knew I would get someone eventually!

Ryan Dow is gash.

Not even bench.

Very telling.

18/10/2015 11:54 am

Wonder if Souttar is in at CH or if we're going three at the back?

18/10/2015 12:18 pm

Looks like Souttar at rb

18/10/2015 12:59 pm

Got to say that Bodul is fucking awful

18/10/2015 1:18 pm

On a plus point McGowan looked decent at CH and errr....not much else

We need to do an awful lot more up front - fingers crossed we show some seond half fight

Forgot he was playing till about 3 mins before half time when i heard him mentioned for about the first time.

Says it all.

18/10/2015 1:43 pm

Normally more sympathetic to Spittal than some but today I'd hook him and get Connolly on ASAP

18/10/2015 2:18 pm

Jeesus that was bad - hate to say but can't see mixu being able to sort that before the next transfer window - and it'll be too late by then

We just don't have the right players - too short in key positions - by the time mixu makes a difference we will be too far behind

Hope I'm wrong...

lifesanocean · 18/10/2015 2:41 pm

We are absolutely awful. Cheers Jackie.

Foo Kin Twat · 18/10/2015 2:43 pm

Set my alarm and got up especially to pay to watch that .

It's gonna be a long hard season.

We created diddly squat. One shot on 70 mins fae Billy McKay and that was it.

Don't get me started on Kevin Clowncy either......

bowers · 18/10/2015 2:45 pm

Holy fuck

That was bad.
Bodul Kuhl spittal souttar seriously what the fuck has thompson and jackie done to our club?

Frightening.

Rocky Raccoon · 18/10/2015 2:48 pm

Just in from the game, swerved the boozer, fucking woeful yet again, I was confident our squad were good enough, oh how wrong was I?

Zwick - dodgy

Souttar - embarrassing
Durnan - painfully awful
McGowan - can do a job at CH
Dillon - tried hard, far from the worst.

Khul - a bit of dig but his passing is shite.
Rankin - one of the very few pass marks.

Spittal - fucking useless
Bodul - tragic signing
Fraser - over hyped, no right foot, gave away a throw-in because he has no confidence in his right foot, amateurish.

MacKay - no service whatsoever.

Mixu, over to you mate.
