As a predominantly away fan I suspect that this season will be a return to the away day point taking affairs and I suspect that we may return to ending up with more away points than home points. This seemed to always be the case in the first two seasons when we stuck rigidly to a 4-5-1 and counter attacking style. Apart from a 6 week spell last season we appeared to have tried to go without that system and we didnt really have the players to do it plus Brew kept on changing the team and the formations.
I suspect that with what we have got Brew is almost resigned to stick with the 4-5-1 which augurs well fer the away day support.
But how does he change that at home. Well IMHO it has to be a 4-4-2 or an attack minded 4-4-1-1. Play with width and try and play the ball on the deck. And wait fer it - that may be the one place that we will miss the Mercenary - at home he could play the lone striker role becos of his touch and being able to hold the ball up and pass - Barrowman may be a better option away from home - with pace and movement in midfield - but he - nor anybody else - isnt going to replace the greedy one up front. Barrowman isnt a Bayne either so we have to look to putting two up front and playing to their strengths and stop the aimless feckin hoofing.
Anyway it is 3-0 to the Away X1 and I think that the Away X1 will win again this season.
