So how should Caley approach this one..??

Blackie was our MOM during last season's cup tie - he did a superb marking job on Nakamura.... Celtic only got the upper hand after he went off....

Same approach again...?  :024:

Im for Niculae and Brew exploiting how ***** mcmanus really is. We've nothing to lose (were bottom efter all) so Im for going for this one.

We did everything right at Easter Road (except score), so I'd go with the same starting line up and then take it from there depending on how the game is progressing.

I think that we have to be more defensive minded but we have to try and utilise the pace that we have at our disposal. I would definitely go fer a 4-5-1. I feel that Fraser, Rosscoe and Royster pick themselves - Roy at left back. It will be interesting to see the choice in the middle, especially if Munro and Caff are fit - I suspect that Munro and McGuire will get the call. Duncan simply has to get in the "hole" - what about a surprise of Proctor wide rigtht, Cowie and Black centrally and Bazza on the left. Then the big one up front is Brew or Marius - personally I would favour Brew at the moment. That gives us a lot of scope to change individuals, the formation and the tactics.

i agree with chris123.we've got nothing to lose so we might aswell give it a good go and not shut up shop for 90 mins.

Fraser

Tokely    McGuire    Munro    Hastings*

Duncan

Wilson    Cowie    McBain

Brew    Niculae

* If Hastings is still injured then McBain at left back and Black in the centre with Wilson on the left and Cowie on the right

BUMP

                                           Fraser

Tokely               Watt                        Munro              Hastings/Morgan

           

                                 Duncan                    Black

Sutherland                               Cowie                                    Wilson

                                                Niculae

SUBS: Malkowski, McGuire, Brewster, Bayne, Hart, Rankin, Vigurs.

Complicated 4-2-3-1 formation for me.

Back four, with Blackie and Russell sitting in front, 3 man midfield, Baz and Zander out wide, Marius as a lone striker, to be replaced by Brewster at some point.

TomCaleyJag - it would help if zander was still here (he is at elgin on loan)  :018: :018:

Tactics for Celtic game...?

Score THREE goals against their ONE.

Ring a bell anyone?

IMHO playing a 4-4-2 at Parkdread, with Brew and Niculae up front, would be tactical suicide and open a debate as to whether Brew has delusions of grandeur or that he does not have carte blanche in regard to the selection or both. I feel a poll coming on. And hopefully not Zibi.  :rotflmao:
