manc_don Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Missed the Tims game due to travel, but doesn’t look or sound like I missed anything. they weren’t flash against hibs, but obviously turned up for the second. hopefully be able to catch this game now and would have gotten over the jet lag. Sounds like we may have the cure for any sleeping issues. I see we’ve sold a decent number for the game. out probably something christmassy home home 1-1, miovski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Have a ticket but dunno if I can be bothered going up after Saturday's no-show. Will see how I feel tomorrow. Roos McCrorie Stewart Scales McKenzie Coulson Barron Ramadani Clarkson Hayes Duk That's how I'd line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Looking forward to it. I think we'll see a different approach and we might give them a game. As I mentioned on the Tim thread, the midfield three is key to this, and I'd be dropping Clarkson on that basis. I don't think he offers enough in the press and if we're playing a rigid three like at the weekend then his forward-going abilities are largely nullified. I thought Barron was decent at the weekend (despite his error) and should retain his place ahead of Clarkson. Plagiarising Panda's back central three, but switching Scales and Stewart due to Stewart's lack of pace, I'd go: ------------------Roos------------------ -----Scales---Stewart---McKenzie---- Kennedy----Barron----Ramadani--Coulson -------------McRorie---Hayes------------- ---------------------Duk------------------- Is 3-4-2-1 a formation? It is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mccrorie has an influence in games in midfield so I’d play him there, but I still don’t see Goodwin dropping miovski. 2-1 us, duk and mccrorie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mccrorie has an influence in games in midfield so I’d play him there, but I still don’t see Goodwin dropping miovski. 2-1 us, duk and mccrorie. Kennedy gets in through the "he's not Jayden Richardson" route. It's one of his best qualities. You could be right about Miovski. It really is no slight on the player either. I'm hoping that Goodwin could see that there was a balance to be struck between being ultra conservative and gung ho, and that it's possible to be more attacking when playing only one striker versus two, if the ball spends more time higher up the pitch as a result. I think there was enough on display on Saturday for Goodwin to get the message and I think it'd be easy to explain to Miovski why he was dropped as part of a tactical decision. In reality, playing him could have a greater adverse effect than not. If he plays like he did on Saturday (through little fault of his own), it could cause his head to go down and he might start to doubt himself.

Jute Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Like the options on formation above but only change I can see Goodwin making is McKenzie dropping out for Scales. Rest will be as per Saturday. They are not as good as Victims so we maybe able to play a bit further up the field but after kicking we got at Ibrox not expecting us to be that adventurous.

tlg1903 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I wouldn't drop McKenzie myself, I thought he did really well on Saturday. I would bring scales in for either Clarkson or Barron, play him with Stewart and McKenzie and get Mcrorie into midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 McKenzie dropped for Scales as expected and unbelievably Richardson back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrlandoDon Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Ramdani should have scored. Ugh. 100 miles an hour stuff, no real composure in midfield. Clarkson and Barron don't work as a pair, we must get a central midfielder who can pull the strings. To be honest I don't think we get nearly enough from Barron. It's not bad though, but it's a lot of huff and puff but still limited in the final ball and quality.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Nice free kick and 1-1 at half is about fair. Some decent stuff at times, but as I already mentioned, a huge hole in midfield crying out for a center mid. We're playing a bit like kids. Lots of huff and puff and silly fouls. Will be surprised if we finish with 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Both sides look poor at times. Stewart been awful. Great strike for free kick but wife beater should have got it on his side of goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Decent effort. Bit of an ugly game. Miovski again never Looks in danger of winning the ball. That said his touch was so poor it ricocheted to get us the foul. Need a change up there to harass them. Duk never fails to amaze. Never seen that coming from him!

All season we’ve been shit defensively so let’s sit back and defend. At 2-1 kick on against a very average rangers. Awful to play with no forward for almost 30 mins.
