Pretty interchangeable. In my head would be something like Wes Tav Kiernan Senderos Wallace Barton Halliday Windass McKay Forrester And 1 of miller waggy and garner up top. Windass n Forrester working up and down the wings with Barrie in the number 10 role supporting front man and winning free kicks all over. We play 433, no idea why people think that's going to change now! Supersonic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr3_bear 14,862 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 That ten minutes before the game is going to be something else , just pray the team give us a result and performance so we can outsing these scumbags in their own midden .

If you actually take the time read it I do say it's a 4-5-1 in defence and 4-3-3 in attack. Same as saying Forrester Barton Halliday McKay Miller Windass But players know they have a number of roles to play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windass n Forrester working up and down the wings with Barrie in the number 10 role supporting front man and winning free kicks all over. Sounds good in theory but after the first hard challenge McKay will go into hiding and revert to playing a short pass (usually back to Wallace) instead of taking his man on. So he'll probably win 1 free kick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If Kranjcar doesn't start I'll be astounded. Can't believe some folk don't have him in starting XI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need legs in midfield. Halliday, Rossitier and Barton will be the midfield three I reckon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
now then forever 298 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I don't like Barton and Rossiter both starting, think they're too similar. I'd play Barton dm for this one. Also feel we need a mobile, attacking midfielder in there, ones that's going to run with the ball and make runs in to the box. If Windass is fit enough I'd go with him, if not it's likely to be Forrester. For this game I'd probably go with Halliday as the third one, after his performance in the last old firm game and he'll be up for the battle. Then potentially bring on Niko in the second half when the game starts to open up a bit. Lots of tough decisions, and good players that won't start.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'd go with Wndass and MOH. Bench McKay who just aint doing it. Has become a bit of a shrinking violet and shit scared of a tackle, so the scumdome won't be the place for him as they will batter us from the off as is their usual tactic, knowing the ref will be looking the other way. Barton to stand tall in this one. Just hope the central defence are on a bit of powder before the off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson1872 2,923 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'd go with Foderingham Tav - Kiernan - Senderos - Wallace Barton Kranjcar - Windass MOH - Garner - Miller Bring on Forrester for Windass, McKay for Kranjcar and Waghorn for Miller/Garner depending on who has scored. Their midfield is slow enough as it is, after dealing with 60 minutes of Windass pelting across the field they will be ripped apart when McKay and Forrester come on.

Guest Lloyd72 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Wes Tavernier Senderos Kiernan Wallace Barton Forrester Windass MOH Mckay Garner Miller on as a 60 minute sub, Windass would be good to see start but it'll probably be Halliday in his place. MOH has to start, surely there's no way he can be overlooked yet again after how good he has been this season in limited minutes, his movement off the ball is good, he has pace and great dribbling and he runs at people which is exactly what we're missing.

MelbourneBlue 198 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I like the team overall - swap McKay in for the Harry on the wing and it will give the tarriers a lot of problems! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, was thinking maybe drop Mckay and put forrester on the wing which is why he was there but I couldn't think of another midfielder to put next to him.

Guest Lloyd72 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Is anyone else worried we might put Waggy in midfield like we did against Linfield when he came on? I thought it was really strange, maybe I'm reading into it too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverAndEver 71,485 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Forrester and Tavernier have been our best players this season, both have to start imo. Foderingham Tavernier, Senderos, Wilson, Wallace Barton Windass, Halliday Forrester, Garner, McKay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that he may of just been providing support or that, maybe taking it easy and focusing on getting fit rather than being and out n out striker.

When we made subs we had 4 attackers on the pitch and it was quite clear that the front 3 was MOH Miller and Garner so Waggy moved deep into midfield even into CDM at one point when Barton pushed up field. It might have been experimenting because for the last 10 minutes of the game it looked to me like we played a 442 with Halliday Barton Kranjcar Waggy in midfield and MOH Garner up top.

Wouldn't imagine we'd find ourselves in the position of having 4 attackers on the field again. I think it was experimenting all n all. I could see that working in all honesty. Halliday and Waggy acting as wingers that push up (Halliday and Waggy being fed by Wallace and Tav respectively) while Barton and Kranjcar distribute the ball. It'd offer more defensively since it'd likely work out as being 4 at the back, 2 in the mid and 4 up front, with 2 going in between mid and front and someone in mid being able to drop back to the backrow. I mean if you're going to experiment, best doing it while 6/7 nil up in a friendly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
