RicME85 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Blackburn had Rhodes and Gestede on the bench yesterday until 60mins (Gestede) and 77mins (Rhodes) which is an ominous sign. Would like to Shotton at RB, Christie has been caught out of position a few times lately and has made silly challenges in critical areas. I Think Shottin gives a but more cover yo the defence as he isn't much of an attacker at RB. Concerned about Russell, when I heard Steve Macs comments post game about Johnny's tight hamstring during the week I thought it was stupid to risk him with a league game a few nights later. Have a feeling we will play a diamond in the middle seeing as Ward and Dawkins aren't in form and with the likelyhood of Russell being unable to play. Would also like to see Albentosa get another run out, thought he looked good yesterday and made up for Bucko's and Keogh's deficiencies. Can see him being a massive signing during the run in to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Christie Forsyth Albentosa Keogh Mascarell Hughes Hendrick Dawkins Russell Martin Provided everyone is fit, that's my team. Can't see Russell being available.Might be tempted to play 4-4-2 with Warnock in front of Forsyth at LM and Hughes in front of Christie at RM. Bent for Dawkins.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Don't trust either Dawkins or Ward to start this one, therefore I would start with the diamond. Grant, Christie, Albentosa, Buxton, Forsyth, Omar, Bryson, Hendrick, Hughes, Martin, Bent. But I expect Steve to go with 4-3-3 with Dawkins and Ward on the wings. Keogh at the back as well.

Alph Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Want us to get back to moving the ball quickly on the floor. When we move it so slow that's how we end up having to go long. It seems to be either forward fast or sideways slow. What's wrong with sideways fast? Not many teams are parking the bus now. No need to try and draw them out. Faster doesn't mean more direct. Just faster please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovis aries Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Its a game in hand , but it is a home game , and will be one more home game played than a few of the top six , so it is a must win really , a draw is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Stevie Mac is clearly keen to get Martin and Bent in the team togeher. Russell looks unlikely to be fit for the 18. We've won 5 out of 6 and kept 5 clean sheets in that time. It's a massive game - win and we're level on points at the top. Lose and we're 5th in a 6-horse race. Mac's team will be: Grant Christie Keogh Buxton Forsyth Mascarell Hughes Hendrick Martin Bent Ward playing a diamond with Martin in the hole and Ward and Bent just in front. Bent tired on Saturday and will again. When he comes off we'll revert to the more normal 4-3-3. Subs: Roos, Shotton, Albentosa, Warnock, Bryson, Dawkins, Calero Mac tends to put his senior pros who aren't playing on the bench, and this makes the bench defence-heavy for this game.

TopRam Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Ward had a class game away at Blackburn early in the season, so id start him before Dawkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripperg-ram Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I don't really know how Blackburn set up. Will Mascarell have some time and freedom with them? I know they can score some good goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 We need to accomadate Bent in the side in his natural position he showed yesterday by his runs he will score goals, yes he should of had more by his own admissions but if we can get him and Martin on the same wave length it will be dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Maybe with the form and fitness of Hendrick and Bryson, could Martin play behind Bent? Grant Christie Keogh Buxton Forsyth Mascarell Hughes Martin Ward Bent Dawkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
