manc_don Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'd like us to go with our strongest team here, none of this resting players nonsense. We need to progress at all costs and we need a cup run. I was really impressed with Duk yesterday, offered a helluva lot, btw was he injured in the end or just a dead leg?? If we were to make a change, I may consider Miovski for Ramirez, may give him the fire in his belly again. I'm avoiding Richardson as I just can't see him being dropped. Anyway this won't be an easy one by any stretch. They're scoring lots of goals and on top of the championship (level on points with caley) so our defence will need to be focused... Out Breakfast Commute Work 2-1 Dons, Ramirez + Miovski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Out Dinner Red TV Bed 3-0 (Duk, Scales & Bavidge) but wouldn't be surprised to see all the goals come in the second half as seems to be the norm for us these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 We're way off knowing what our best 11 is, so I think we need continuity in the side. If Goodwin now thinks that 3-5-2 is our strongest formation, then we persist with it for a few games. I didn't like the midfield yesterday for large parts. I'm not sure Ramadani is strong enough in the tackle to play that flat 3 that we did in the second half, but it was certainly better for Barron and, to a lesser extent, Clarkson. McRorie gives me the fear at the back, and I'd still like to see us try him out at right back ahead of Richardson. McKenzie as wing back didn't really work despite his best efforts either. I've no problem with Miovski starting again, even though he was poor again, but Ramirez does deserve plenty of game time when Miovski isn't cutting it. I think 3-5-2 is our only real option if we want to play the two up front (Duk definitely deserves that place, and he doesn't really work on his own), as our midfield isn't strong enough to play a two. A 4-3-3 would be the only other option, with a tight line of three. That would allow Besuijen deserved game time alongside Miovski and Duk. One of those two it is. I'd go: ------------------Roos------------------- McRorie---Stewart---Scales---McKenzie -----Barron---Ramadani---Clarkson----- -----Besuijen-----Miovski-------Duk----- but I think Goodwin may just maintain the same starting eleven for consistency. Ramadani the weak link in the above for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Think Goodwin will stick with the 3-5-2. Needs to be our strongest team available as this is a competition we have a chance of winning/getting beat by the Victims at Hampden so need to go for this. I would consider changing Miovski for Ramirez but we need to give Miovski and Lopes a chance to develop an understanding as a front 2 so probably not. Oot (unless some mug….I mean kind person decides to drive) flat stream if there is one flat 2-0 Lopes and McCrorie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Like us to continue with the 3-5-2 and see how it goes.Sounds like Goodwin may continue with it too.Tough game,will take a scrappy 1 - 0 at this stage In or Oot - Will decide imorn,dont do many midweek games Mainer if in Prediction - 2 - 1 Miovski,Hayes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlg1903 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I can understand the desire to stick with the 3 but I don't have a problem with rotating formations to suit the opponent. I believe Partick are fond of 1 up top so you can argue its the waste of a player in an extra CB. That depends on the CB's though and I think we are quite well placed to play a 3 against 1 up. Mcrorie and scales are both good on the ball and can pass and cross well so when playing against one up you can allow one of the CB's to break forward like Tierney does for Scotland to great effect. I know these two aren't of the same calibre as Tierney but a cb breaking forward usually causes havoc as teams struggle to pick them up.

McInnes has done the first part, Goodwin hopefully does the same. Rangers v Celtic at 3pm on a Sunday while Aberdeen play Kilmarnock at a half empty Hampden at 12pm on a Saturday. £30 a ticket too plus train strikes. Looking forward to it. Bring on the Jags.

Jute Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Richardson dropped. Surprised Barron out but maybe not wanting two games a week on way back from injury. Caved in and got supporters bus up. This better be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hard to say exactly how they will line up. Could be a 4 or 3 at the back. Rama could be playing in front of the defence solo or as a two with clarkson. Find out soon enough, glad Coulson is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Interesting lineup. Kennedy can feel a little hard done by not getting a look in after a decent game against killie, so fine to play him. I'm guessing it's a 4-4-2, with McRorie at right back. Weirdly, this is the sort of game I'd have played Richardson in, against poorer opposition, but he does deserved to be dropped. Besuijen earned his place and if Barron is being rested then that's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I actually didn't think Richardson did so bad on Saturday, playing a bit further forward suits him perhaps. I'd love it if was a 442 2bh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
