Tactics for the Dandy Dons

[Harry Chibber]

Right we seem to be going round in circles about who is to blame for Saturdays performance.  I think it would be a good idea to look forward to this weekend and how things will hopefully improve. 

I would go for:

----------------Broonie----------------

Tokely----Dods---Munro--Hastings

Wilson---Black---Duncan---Rankin

----------Dargo----Wyness----------

I thought our midfield and attack were decent in the first match while obviously there were flaws at the back.  "If it ain't broke don't fix it" and considering we had the 4th best defense in the SPL last season that should have been obvious to CC from the start.  If Tokely is still out of form then Caff instead.  I can understand the people preferring Morgan as the natural winger but I think everyone forgets that he is still a young player and always learning while Rankin seems to have a bit more composure.  Also I think CC would be severely scrutinized if he replaced him out wide after he crafted our only goal last Saturday.

I expect a vast improvement in our defense against the dons, I think that Dods and Munro will be looking to show everyone that their defensive laps was a one off.  Last season when we had the shock defeat to Partick and CC inspired the team to beat United 4-2... that's the sort of response we need this week.

agree with most of that harry but id like to see rankin more central at the front of the midfield in a supporting roal for dargo with morgan on the Left, 

its not likely to happen  but im keen to see a 4-5-1

---------------brown----------------

rossco---dods---munro---hastings

barry --- black---duncan----morgan

-----------------------rankin-------------

-------------dargoals------------------

Said on another thread KK but I would have gone fer that 4-5-1 too. All depends on whether Black is still here and whether Mulgrew has arrived.

[RiG]

Mulgrew?  :015: :015: :015:

EDIT: Didn't realise he was a free transfer, maybe this is more realistic than first thought.

[kencar]

It'll be 4-4-2  :006:

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Mulgrew?  :015: :015: :015:

EDIT: Didn't realise he was a free transfer, maybe this is more realistic than first thought.

You can rely on the Tasseographer of the Year. You can read more about the skill in my book.  :003:

[Guest kingkojak]

IHE i know i said it already - but its a feckin brilliant idea!  :015:

might post it again somewhere else......  in fact, im going to post it to Charlie !

[Guest kingkojak]

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Sorry. I cleaned out the tea leaves.  :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :004:

By the way. Idid'nt know this - did youse?

McAllister to return for Caley

Inverness Caledonian Thistle striker Rory McAllister will return to the squad for the SPL trip to Aberdeen.

The 19-year-old was suspended for the opening-day defeat by St Mirren after being dismissed in an Under-19 game last season.

Caley head coach Charlie Christie said: "We were a bit baffled to find that Rory could not face St Mirren.

"He was sent off in an Under-19s game at the end of last season.

"During the summer, he turned 19 and, as he was not eligible for the Under-19s, the SFA said he had to serve his ban in the first team.

"It is unfortunate, but at least he is available this weekend."

Do you want the HSBN number fer the book??

[ictchris]

I would go:

--------------Brown----------------

--Tokely--Dods--Munro--Hastings--

---Wilson--Duncan--Black--Rankin--

---------Wyness---Dargo--------------

Possibly stick Morgan in for Rankin.

[kencar]

Morgan needs to get fitter

If I were puting the team together for this one I'd go:

                                        Brown

                                Dods Golly Munro

                  Rossco Wilson Hart Black Hastings

                                  Dargo McAllister

Flak jacket and helmet have been donned in readiness :015:

[kencar]

I got shot down in flames for suggesting a change of formation last season  :004:

As everyone pointed out to be me then - we play 4-4-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RossP]

I'd like to see Rory start ahead of Wyness....  :010:

[Guest kingkojak]

now im baffled....

why does a book about tea cup reading have an article on page p94 about charlie mulgrew?  :006:

[strathyjags]

I'd like to see Rory start ahead of Wyness....  :010:

yes i agree with that

[kencar]

TOKELY STILL OUT

[strathyjags]

TOKELY STILL OUT

strange thought he was fit last weekend

[Guest Hilts]

Rory for Dennis??????

Can't agree with that..

[Alex MacLeod]

Take it you've not seen Wyness's performance over the last couple of games.

[Guest Father Ted]

As far as Charlie is concerned, performance does not appear to come into it.

He play's who he wants regardless.

[RiG]

Take it you've not seen Wyness's performance over the last couple of games.

What last couple of games? Friendlies where the whole team by all accounts either underperformed or did well as a whole depending on the game? I must admit that I wasn't at the last three but that was the impressions I got.

Thing is he was good against St. Mirren, held the ball up well and showed some nice touches as well. Don't think he should be dropped, especially not for Rory. If we are going to look at Denzils performances in friendlies and say that he hasn't performed well then neither has MacAllister.

[Harry Chibber]

I thought Wyness did enough against St Mirren to merit a selection for tomorrow
