Team for Hearts

[Renegade]

Not done one of these in a while!  A change in the set up is needed I think.  We've become too predictable and out of ideas.  

 

An attacking 4-3-3 for me - 

 

Reguero

 

Raven Warren Meekings G.Shinnie

 

Draper Jones A.Shinnie

 

Doran Foran McKay

 

Subs - Esson, Pepper, Ross, Sutherland, Devine, Taylor, Roberts

 

If Foran's still out, then have Sutherland in his place, with Polworth coming onto the bench.

 

 

[Rival]

Reguero Raven meekings warren Shinnie Draper OTJ Doran Foran Shinnie Sutherland Bench Esson Devine Taylor Pepper Polworth Ross McKay Might sound crazy but we need back to scoring ways Mckay has been pretty poor and slow and Ross was pretty poor I love Esson but he was pretty poor(never dives) Foran ▲Ross▼ Sutherland▲McKay▼ Reguero▲Esson ▼ Roberts can just feck off he's useless

[WYNESS101]

Reguero

Raven Meekings Warren G.Shinnie

OTJ Draper

Doran A.Shinnie Pepper

Mckay

[starchief]

If Foran is back, then drop him in for Ross.  Reguero for Esson too but still that 4-2-3-1.

 

If not fit, then:

Reguero

 

Raven  -  Warren  -  Meekings  -  Shinnie

 

 

Draper  -  Jones  -  Ross

 

Shinnie  -  McKay  -  Doran

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Does anyone actually think that Reguero will EVER play fer ICT again ? There has quite clearly been a fall out. It may not be the time fer experimenting (I would consider Shane for McKay and Pepper fer A.Shinnie) but I will cautiously go with Renegade.

[Rival]

Stick Matheson in then, experiments done Mathieson Cooper Taylor Devine Gaz Laing Pepper Polworth Shane Whyte Gibbons

[old caley girl]

Why is everyone in such a hurry to drop Nick Ross who has been playing well (even yesterday)? If Foran fit, and I soo hope he is I would maybe be inclined to rest MacKay who clearly has gone off form.

[Rainbow]

Fallout? Where? And hopefully not nuclear or Inverness is doomed...

 

My team:

 

Reguero

Raven - Meekings - Warren - Taylor

OTJ - Draper

Doran - Ross - G Shinnie

Foran (if available, else Pepper)

 

Mckay and A Shinnie to be rested on the bench and brought on after an hour...

[bdu98196]

Same again but keen to see Rugero play instead of Esson. If Foran is back he replaces Ross.

 

Pepper, Ross & Sutherland to get a run out perhaps for Foran, Doran & McKay after 60 mins (depending how the game is going).

 

Hearts were poor in the cup semi and have Zaliukas out for the rest of the season, so should be weaker in defence as their wknd result suggets. We go with Warren man marking on Ngoo as he is the only real threat.

 

Its not broke, regardless of the last few results and I dont think it needs 'fixing' - played well against Killie & St Mirren yet never took what we deserved, better against Celtic than the score suggets, played poor against Hearts yet still only lost on pens, never saw the Killie cup game and Well have the measure of us it seems. This is the start of a set of winnable games til the split.

These players are the ones who got us to where we are now, bar ross whos been injured, but since coming back has been very impressive.

These are the players who will regain form, and these are the players who will earn us top 6 or even top 4.

Keeping the faith with the tried and tested will pay off eventually.

[ICTPaisley]

Yeah same as luke for me, if Foran is back then he comes in and out goes Ross.  Nothing against Nick and he has done well recently but we just need our captain back in the starting lineup.

[caleydawson]

Esson 

Raven Meekings Warren G.Shinnie 

Draper OTJ

Ross A.Shinnie Doran

Billy

 

shane on for billy on about 75 minutes pepper on for Doran at same time and put them both up front 

[lukemackay]

i notice some posters have put pepper up front. never thought of him being a striker.

he was signed as a centre midfeilder, that and can play out on the wide i think.

is this due to him being a striker in fifa?

[Renegade]

Something I've noticed is that McKay lost his place earlier in the season and had to fight to get it back.  When he eventually did win it back, he started a bit rusty and then came good, scoring a bucketload.  He seems to have lost the scoring touch he had earlier in the season.  Perhaps having to fight for his place again, would do him the world of good.

[qwerty11]

keep it the same i think, bar foran coming in for ross if he's fit. he offers a different option to the other front 4.

 

Reguero

Raven Warren Meekings ShinnieG

OTJ Draper

Doran ShinnieA Foran

McKay

 

really really really dont think Shane is an answer as some of you are suggesting. he's just not a footballer in my opinion.

[bdu98196]

Bye bye Andy Driver - offski to the States to play, combined with Zaliukas out, must give us a good chance now!!!

[bishbashbosh]

i will go for usual apart from foran for ross if fit. if terry is'nt doing a fraser/ esson (the year we got relegated) on reguero, i would swap him for esson

 

 with hearts troubles, zalliukas out and driver away we have to win this game if we think we still have a faint chance of making top six.

 

my fear we wont and hearts youngsters will give us the run around again.( draper and otj could not catch them in the cup semi)

 

how are we going deal with ngoo and how will billy deal with playing hearts again after "that miss" ( if you can call it a miss as he did'nt even have a pop at goal) that seemed to spark our run of poor results
