AlBear. 8,499 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Lot's of talk, guessing on what line-up we'll play against them.We've gone with 2 forwards every game so far, I don't see that changing in any other game this season. Plenty thinking we will just go with 1 up top, being Kenny. With Boyd, Daly and Clark I just can't imagine we would leave 3 out.I can see us going 4-4-1-1, with Kenny given the role of linking the midfield to the attack.Bell wont be fit before mid Jan at best so I don't think he'll make it. Back line will be experience, as long as McGregor carries on his good form he'll make it.The midfield picks itself imo, the only question Aird or Templeton. For me, in a SF you pick the player that can do the special something other players can't.The focal point of the attack, for me in the most highly charged old firm ever it's got to be big Daly to use his power and unsettle their CB's.SimonsenFoster McGregor Jig WallaceTempleton Black Law MacleodMillerDaly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,633 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Smith will play LM. Aird or Peralta on the right.4-5-1 with Daly or Miller to lead the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,633 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Ideally I'd like us to go 5-4-1 and add a bit of protection for Jig. We don't have the quickest centre backs but an extra one won't do any harm.BellFoster McGregor Jig Zal WallaceMacleod Black Law SmithMiller/Daly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornabear 6,186 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Here is a chance for the manager to rotate the squad in the next three months, it will make players hungry to play in this game.Hopefully we will get better players in the January window, possibly loans from Newcastle.We want to play the filth with 11 players, not the 8 which we usually play, which means no place for Aird, McCulloch or Law (I won't be holding by breath though).

Gaz52 11,837 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Be interesting to see how Ian Black handles this game. This is the kind of game he's made for, crunching tackles and getting it right up the oppposition Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP FC 400 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Can't trust simonsen, I,d play jig in goal before him. I won't get over last year,s semi Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Genuinely see it as this, excluding injuries etc. : BellFoster Moshni McGregor WallaceBlack McCullochAird Law MacleodMiller Just my opinion, Moshni or Marius will play at CB whoever gets more game time beforehand.Law, Foster & Moshni make me spew in a team against them! We need to buy a RB urgently! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyDawson72 213 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Aird, McCulloch and Law will all start. Black is a nail on for a red card and I genuinely feel Law when he turns up is the better player.If we invite them on top of us they will overrun us. We are used to playing pedantic predictable football against shite teams.We have to get more bold and dynamic NOW!! Hivs and hearts have came to ibrox thus season and taken 3 points.Inverness and St johnstone wouldn't look out of place in the bottom half of our current league so I wouldn't read too much into the games against them.We will need pace as it will restrict their full backs.Boyd is a traffic cone in these games and I would play Daly before him as he can at least score against them!However I would be trying a Miller/Clarke partnership up front.I know KM has lost his pace but he will still be dangerous and always came up to the plate in these games. Without new, better players and a manager who actually has a clue I really fear the worst. I genuinely think Ally will already be thinking about 'nicking' a goal, riding our luck, pens etc so it's a foregone conclusion IMO. Just how bad it could get depends on the team.I would rather go down fighting , get beat 4-2 and have a go instead of getting beat 2 or 3 nil while not having a shot at goal.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It wouldn't surprise me if we perhaps signed a centre-half in January. That teams looks good on the OP though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,208 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Black is a certainty to get at least a yellow card. Just hope he can keep a lid on it and not get sent off.Miller should be the lone striker and Boyd should be on the bench. His record against the scum is tragic.Hope Cammy Bell is back playing by then too as we need our best keeper between the sticks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,176 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'd play Jon Daly..He rag dolled their defence, which included Lustig,Ambrose and Izzaguirre, in Scottish cup semi a couple of years back.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,295 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 if we play 2 up front I'd hope it'll be Miller and Daly. I don't think their defending is THAT good that they could handle the presence/experience they'd have. It'll probably be Boyd though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachothelegend 1,932 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 We will not beat them under Ally.We have no pace from Midfield apart from Macloed and Aird.And we have only one decent CB. Our RB is a massive weakness and we will concede from that area, of that I am sure off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,359 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 we need a better centre midfieldits goes against every single footballing mindset i have, but id start asBellFosterZaliukasMcGregorWallaceAirdMcCullochMacLeodTempletonMillerDalyMcCulloch is the only one with a bit of bite in centre mid that isnt a liability, and templeton will tear their fullbacks a new one, Daly will bitch slap their centre halvesHowever that is an absolutely god awful team really, if it actually descends into a football match we are fucked, and i fear if the tarriers get an early goal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,011 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 After the initial excitement, I have no confidence in this team to overcome them, we need new faces, good players who don't need a good manager.Still it's an old firm game and anything can happen.
