What line-up and formation would you like to see chaps?

TheShed · 26/7/2017 5:13 am

Assuming Keatings, Nkoyi, Murdoch, Flood & Bell are still out, then

. Lewis
Toshney. Durnan. Edge. Scobbie
McMullan. Briels. Fraser King
McDonald. Smith
Subs Mehmet, Ballantine, Robson, Stanton, Allardice, Thomas, B Smith

Expecting Stanton in for Smith in a 4231.

Nothing to fear here, Dundee are shite. We should go there and win.

tangerine terror · 26/7/2017 6:42 am

Stanton will start, he was very good on Sunday. I think McDonald will start in place of Smith.

Andy · 26/7/2017 6:46 am

Going with the same assumptions, and adding another that McDonald can't be ready to start, I'd go with:

Lewis

Toshney Durnan Edge Robson

King Briels Stanton McMullan

Fraser

M. Smith

Subs: Mehmet, Ballantyne, Scobbie, Allardice, Chalmers, B. Smith, McDonald.

SuperMario · 26/7/2017 10:46 am

Lewis
Toshney durnan edge scobbie
Briels allardice Stanton
King Mcdonald McMullan

Allardice on to try and prevent Allan playing

SlatefordArab · 26/7/2017 12:06 pm

From what I've seen of Briels so far, I reckon he will be given the job of trying to prevent Allan getting on the ball.

tangerine terror · 26/7/2017 5:17 pm

Is Allan any good anyway?

Arab87 · 26/7/2017 5:42 pm

I think the dees are shitting it. We're signing better players than them, selling more season tickets than them and looking good going into the season. Blue noses that Ive spoke to are not confident at all about their season and reckon they'll struggle.

Spoke with 2 Raith fans I ken right after their match and both thought he wasn't a standout or special at all, dived for a pen too & lucky not to be booked for it.

Early days season wise. He will have good games i'm sure so just hope he has a shiter against us.

Get on his case fae pre match onwards anyway.

He's provoked a slagging with his comments already when he 1st signed for them.

Right into the bastards from the start

Missing it gutted

God (and Ray) knows who will play up front tomorrow.

McDonald will start on the bench.

All our other strikers are injured, including Matty Smith.

Tek · 29/7/2017 9:37 pm

Matty Smith's injured?

Given we're more or less through can't see Durnan being risked so Scobbie in at CH - not much in the way of other options given our injury list.

good god cant be another forward injured surely?

Yes. Unfortunately.

Tek · 29/7/2017 11:52 pm

Is N'Koyi still injured too?

Just play McDonald upfront.Get a good hour out of him through adrenaline alone.

LarsErikKjell · 30/7/2017 8:04 am

Ray mentioned that McMullan could also play through the middle.

Start McDonald. When he tires, bring on Allardice, move Stanton into the 3 and push McMullan up top. All very simple really

BigAndyFTD · 30/7/2017 8:08 am

McDonalds suspended fir the first league gem, so surely geeing him an hour the day is what maks sense.

Andy · 30/7/2017 1:21 pm

Lewis

Toshney Durnan Edge Scobbie

King Briels Allardice Stanton

Fraser

McMullan

Subs: Mehmet, Ballantyne, Donaldson, Robson, Chalmers, Flood, McDonald.

Effing stupid tournament:

if we'd lost that shoot out, we'd have had a home tie against Dundee.

And bookings, all the teams apart from the European four are disadvantaged going into the next round.

Arabnophobia · 30/7/2017 4:32 pm

The Wagners need to give us mair tickets for the next round. We sold oot, they called it a sell out but 1390 empty seats so just geez them for the next roond!

Fitba wise not sure this told us much.

Toshney less rash than I feared
Scobie good at back but shite going forward
Edge at fault fot their goal

All attacking players limited by the lack of a CF

All in all If I was a funster I'd be getting ready for relegation

We need a decent CF to guarantee promotion

Mass Debates · 30/7/2017 5:00 pm

Just hame, look very good going forward at times and without a striker today we did nae bad. Midfield fell out of it the last 25/30mins but defended o.k to keep it level.

They minks think they'll shoe us next round you can tell be McCanns interview. Well bring it on ya mongs.

30/7/2017 5:30 pm

Forgot - keeper ok after early 1St half blip

The 🐭 didnae get us and tbf the Fox has mair chance of doing any damage to opposing defences
They are truly fucked

The only stupid thing is the bookings aren't wiped clean.

BigAndyFTD · 30/7/2017 6:05 pm

First half eh enjoyed watching us, looked solid enough at the back, and going forward wi McMullan Fraser and King looked dangerous.

oor goal- good fae king, the pass fae Fraser was lovely just piercing their defence, Stanton done well to set up McMullan wi a good finish. (Front 4 involved)
Their goal- Allan wi too much time, dina ken what's happening in the box, the guy just eases inti the box. Poor fae us.

Should hay couple players back by the time we play them again, excited fir it.
