Millenniumram Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Just now, Andicis said: I just find it strange you'd claim he'd go right into our best team without seeing him play, is all. I don't disagree with your reasonings, but he could be absolutely rubbish, we just don't know yet. True, maybe I should say it’s more what I think would be our best team. It feels to me to have the most balance at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Martin Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Subs: Roos, Forsyth, Edmundson, McDonald, Baningime, Mitchell-Lawson, Roberts, Lawrence, Kazim-Richards Waghorn needs to be dropped from the squad Think Kazim is in need of a rest plus Gregory offers more of a threat running in behind. Kazim could have more impact coming off the bench in this game. Bird is probably our most creative midfielder so he needs to get forward more instead of being played in the defensive role. In my opinion 4-3-3 suits our players best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We could go for 3 at the back Marshall Wisdom Clarke Edmundson Shinnie Knight Byrne Buchanan Sibley CKR Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I think we will match their 352 - Marshall - Wisdom Edmundson Clarke - Byrne Knight Bird Shinnie Buchanan - Gregory CKR Subs - Roos Forsyth Mengi McDonald Watson Sibley Jozwiak Roberts Waghorn Knight just off the strikers so almost a 3421, bypass the midfield as not much point playing through the middle on our pitch so go more direct to 2 strikers against their back 3. Put CKR on Keogh, thats a penalty waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonRam Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 One thing is certain - we will need to score 2 goals to win because Duane Holmes will be playing, and.......you know the rest of that sentence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donegal Ram Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I for one am glad that Holmes scored a couple on Saturday and that the terriers beat the swans. This will stop any thoughts from Derby about them being on the slide and we should win easily. Tough game as always in the championship. Two up top for me against their back 3 with Sibley just behind. A few players need to show improvement as we have been carrying some passengers of late. Would have been nice to have been there to welcome back Keogh. He was a good servant for our club. Derby to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this and would add that Bird (on current viewing ) adds little creativity and offers less than Shinnie and Knight in all other areas of the midfield requirements. Thats why I reckon either Bangitinme or Sibley , totally different but offering more than Bird atm. Marshy Byrney Wizz Clarkey Bucho Bangmi Shiniesta Knighty Jossie CKR Greggs Subs : Roosey, Fozzie, Eddie, Sibbs, Pugh, Pugh , Barneymcgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble , Grub .

By no fault of his own Roberts was often receiving the ball in static situations surrounded by the oppo. I think he’ll get a lot better as he develops a better understanding w Byrne etc He looked good on the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on, admit it. Pat’s performance actually warranted a 2/10 from you, but you marked him down because you couldn’t disassociate him from his playing time in the SPL ?
