Striking options against St Mirren

Who should we play up front and why? Think I have covered all the choices but I can add any options in for you  :thumbsup:

aye you've got a fair few there, odds on jimmy comes up with one you dont though.  I'll go wright and either mackie or bebo.  miller needs dropped to get his head together

I've gone for Miller and Mackie. Miller will come good for us I think, just a blip and Mackie - if he's going to play - has to play through the middle, not out wide.

Voted Miller/Maguire up front with Mackie probably playing on the right.

My sentiments too.

 

Aside from this game, Aluko and a fit Smith have to come into the reckoning for playing up front if our so called strikers can't score.

Shearer and Booth IMO

Which game is Miller suspended for?

 

Get Wright up front with Mackie!

 

 

Agree with palying Wright and Mackie up front for this one to see how they go and to give Miller a kick up the arse. Not saying this will work actually suspect it will fail miserably but if it has to be seen to fail to convince people that these two need moved on then so be it.

This bit I agree with.  :thumbsup:

Should have added I hope desperately to be proved wrong. I would rather that they formed a leathal strike partnership that brings the club 20 goals between now and the end of the season. Just cannot see it.

i would have aluko n wright up front with the new signing tucking in behind them

in a 4-3-1-2 formation

 

got to play our so-called flair players as the pitch must be in a good condition with it being new etc

 

in fact scrap the above i would have the new signing on the right and aluko on the left with wright n mackie up front

so its a 4-4-2 with the wide men pushing forward in an exciting positive attacking formation.

 

in saying that it will be a 0-0 snoozefest ::)

nah, I disagree - Aluko isnae a forward. Definitely better running at defences from a bit deeper. Would be good to see him having more shots though.

 

I've been saying this for years though - Aberdeen never shoot enough.

 

When do ye ever see long range efforts just to test their keeper?

We hardly ever even see a shot from outside the box.

 

There's not many good keepers in the league, there are plenty poor keepers. They should be tested.

 

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

 

:clap::penalty:

 

Totally agree with everything said there.

 

this would be my starting line up for  st's game

 

          clangers

 

vidal, mair, zander, foster

 

    kerr, seve, mulgrew

     

            aluko           

           

      mackie, wright

 

Logic behind this is that a mulgrew is looking shaky at the back but he's a good passer and obviously his set pieces are a real weapon. Also he is more than adept playing in midfield, he played many games there for utd. I'd rather have foster at LB when all is said and done, he's not outstanding

there but is reasonably solid and has the pace to get him out of trouble.  Aluko would have a free role behind the strikers.

The strikers which perform best away from home are Mackie and Maguire (from the points in man of the match)

I might be being daft, but does that table not say that Miller is still ahead of Maguire?

Make a graph for the number of goals each striker has scored home and away.

+1

Miller and Wright for me.

 

Mackie / Maguire substitution in the 2nd half to run at the defence if we're chasing the win.

I'd play Miller and Smith. I still think that's his best position.

Aye but Miller got most of his away points in one game (Killie 2-0 game where he scored twice).

But he's got more points.  :-\

Anybody who needs a graph to pick Lee Miller before any of the rest of them should go and watch rugby.

:lolabove:

 

I went with Miller, Mackie, Maguire & Wright.

 

Is Aluko suspended/injured for this game?

Judging by the highlights tonight it doesnae really matter who we have up front as long as the whole team is prepared to take shots at Smith

I'd love to see a front three of Aluko, Miller and Smith.
