Massive match on sat we need to take something a defeat is no use.
Hopefully mixu has the team fired right up for the game and with not having a game last weekend its gave alot of time to work on stuff.

Doesnt look like the jap will be signed in time dragging o. No morris yet either hopeful o gunning being signed today.

Going with what we have id give this a try
Szromnik
Dillon
Mcgowan
Gunning
Dixon
Fraser
Rankin
Telfer
Spittal
Mckay
Taggart

Morris is fit is he no?

bowers · 19/11/2015 12:02 pm

Heard yesterday he wont make this game

SuperMario · 19/11/2015 12:02 pm

Szromnik
McGowan Morris gunning Dixon
Souttar rankin
Murray Fraser spittal
McKay

Mcgowan has to play at right back we need his width ! If Morris and gunning are fit I'd play both! Souttar back in to his centre mid role with rankin sitting!

WeeDude_83 · 19/11/2015 1:13 pm

Genuinely no idea how we're gonna go. We'll need to be prepared for a battle thats for sure.
Mixu's gone with a diamond at least twice so far so maybe same sort of idea?
I think Dillon & Durnan need to drop to the Bench, Both have been poor and cost us goals lately.
I'd also like to see Si Murray start with Mckay. Cant do any worse than Taggart or Bodul.

We dont have much genuine width atm so we need fullbacks pushing on and making the pitch as wide as possible. concentrate on gettting ball into the box and letting McKay do what he does best. He's always going to be there or thereabouts and his poachers instinct will see him net. Imperative the ball goes into the box though.

If gunning not signed id go with donaldson

Tek · 19/11/2015 4:01 pm

I'll give my team tomorrow night once I know for sure who can all play.

Incidentally hope Utd get the undersoil heating on nice and early tomorrow night as temperatures are meant to plummet and there is a distinct chance it may snow also.

bowers · 19/11/2015 4:09 pm

As long as its no pishing down rain and windy as fuck we are supposed to be putting 2/3 big flags in the east for teams coming out

huntedbyafreak · 19/11/2015 6:39 pm

At Hospo. Not giving a fuck about the game

Edmond Dantes · 19/11/2015 10:55 pm

Think i'll go for it too-although not at hospo.

RRDH · 20/11/2015 5:37 pm

think we are maybe one quality midfielder and one good "supply" winger away from a real team on paper.

20/11/2015 5:54 pm

Be interesting to see if Gunning goes straight in and if he does is it instead of Durnan or does McGowan go to RB?

Maybe even McGowan into defensive midfield - don't see any opposition midfielders fancying their chances of winning a tackle with him.

Still a bit to go before we get the attacking side of things sorted so will be heading up with fingers crossed for a 1-0.

SuperMario · 20/11/2015 6:00 pm

I'd be tempted to go 5 at the back with two wing back flying forward at every opportunity

TheShed · 20/11/2015 9:12 pm

For me the 3 main problem areas aren't dealt with yet , goalie, width and a partner for McKay so I'd be tempted to push Dixon further forward to try and give some width at least, also depends if Morris is fit so possibly

Szromnik
Dillon
McGowan Gunning
Spittal. Dixon
Rankin
Souttar. Fraser
Murray
McKay

Or

Szromnik
McGowan. Morris. Gunning. Dillon
Spittal. Souttar. Rankin. Dixon
Fraser
McKay

RRDH · 20/11/2015 11:17 pm

we are not a million miles away but when your best 3 or 4 midfielders as a group are probably one of the worst in the league, we still shouldnt be getting our expectations up there too far.

Problem with our midfield has always been that we were never able to maintain control of games and keep attacks going... wasnt so much a problem when we were lightning on the break back in the GMS/Armstrong et al era. We dont have the pace anymore and dont have the players to control a game in there.

So we are getting there but we need a quality ball player in there.

This, but swap Murray and Connelly. Murray deserves a chance and Connolly,well doesn't. IMO

Tek · 21/11/2015 11:54 am

I was tempted to start Murray.

Think he might be a better option from the bench though.

Hopefully he gets a chance before Taggart who I don't rate at all.

Silver · 21/11/2015 11:58 am

Connolly flatters to deceive 99% of the time imo mate, just don't rate the lad at this level.

We'll only know what Murray is capable of if he gets a chance.

Tek · 21/11/2015 12:03 pm

I like Connolly and still think there's a player there.

He does need to start delivering though (and consistently).

WeeDude_83 · 21/11/2015 12:40 pm

Dillon into the middle, right footed centre half on the right side, left footed centre on the left. Durnan carrying water bottles.
Souttar in the middle, last chance for him IMO, needs to get involved or gtf. No time for passengers.
Murray to provide a bit of width/pace in behind.Spittal on the other side.

Arab_plumber · 21/11/2015 1:24 pm

Surprises me that people want Connolly in the team, he offers fuck all and it's like playing with 10 men
Murray deserves a chance to see if we can utilise his pace and determination

Andy · 21/11/2015 2:21 pm

Tek · 21/11/2015 2:30 pm

McGowan in midfield?

Or is it Dillon?

Or is it 5 at the back?

Andy · 21/11/2015 2:36 pm

Eh. Dinnae. Ken.

Can't even guess tbh.
