...yeah I like the idea of playing wingers

[Alex MacLeod]

Is that those that wing or those that winge.

[+bughtmaster]

Don't want any more of them wingers Alex we have enough of them already. Could do with another left or right winger though to compliment the team.

Wouldn't bank on Foran being available

[Macduffer]

I've got a good feeling about this one - we're going to keep our sleeves rolled down and play like we know we can; pace and width and solid at the back - and come away with a 2-0 win, and get back on track!!

 

And then we're going to do the same on Friday.

 

C'mon Caley !

Hope your right Macduffer!

Probably get slated but why not try...
 

- Brill -

 

- Warren - - Devine - - Tremarco -

 

- Raven -           - Draper - - Polworth -        - Shinnie -

- Ross-

 

- Christie -

 

- Mckay -
 

 

 

I think it fulfils many of the required criteria.

Wing backs, to allow for wide play. Extra centre half to cover for this (Preferably Foran but sounds like he's out)

Loads of central midfielders. There's 3 in there.
Giving the young uns a go.

Personnel could of course be altered but if Tansey AND Foran are both out (maybe a blessing in disguise) perhaps a little tactical alternation to throw 'Well off.

I don't see the point in even contemplating dropping Brill. Sure he's not a great kicker, but aside from that he's still been pulling off some top saves. Dunno what Esson is like now.

I think if we play this formation, we are way to lightweight in midfield and will be overun by Motherwell. Williams out to be replaced by Tansey if fit or Shinnie in midfield with temarco at LB.

Subs - Esson, Tremarco, Vincent, Cooper, Ross, Evans, Pepper

 

[+DoofersDad]

Motherwell also have some significant injuries so I don't necessarily see that as being too light weight.  Is Tansey available?  I would probably start with him with a view to bringing Christie on later.

 

For me it's more a question of what the game plan is rather than who is going to play.  Yogi's quote on the BBC preview is

 

"I think we play football and we still don't know how to keep a clean sheet. That's all down to hard work and shape.

"I will pick a team and let them go and play, sit back and analyse it and get the answers.

"And, if it's not those guys, I keep saying to them, football evolves. If it's not you, it will be someone else.

"You can't do any more than give them the jersey and say 'go and play and show me you can take this club where we want to go'."

I think its just his way of saying "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea".

[Alex MacLeod]

He's saying there's no Foran, Doran, Meekings or Tansy so if you get a start make sure its a good one.

 

Consolation is no McFadden or Carswell for the steelers

[northstandfan]

You can't not play Christie when he was motm on Saturday, but yes we need wingers, preferably watkins and I would pick Ross, he was doing well on the wing under butcher

*Mckay needs a rest and is seriously out of form. The chance he missed v st mirren makes that very clear.

**Vincent offers absolutely nothing to the team in his current position and i'm skeptical at best of what he offers in behind the striker anyway.

***Christie/Polworth are both capable passers of the ball and can offer something different to draper in a creative sense so must start IMO.

****WE NEED WIDTH not inverted wingers either. Lets get the ball wide and get it into the box.

[Alex MacLeod]

Think I'd rather take a chance on Curtis Allan than Watkins up front

[+DoofersDad]

I think its just his way of saying "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea".

Of course!  Thanks for the clarification.

I remember the very same thing being said with McBain out on the right and Vigurs on the left under Brewster.

[Ronaldo]

Pitch is big factor at the moment ball is bobbling with just about every touch
