Yes, celtic are doing it and they won a treble last year finishing the league season with 106pts. It's a system that clearly works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windass could do a job as CAM but Dorrans is a much better footballer. Jack out, Windass to CAM, Dorrans to CM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who’s the second defensive Midfielder that played for the taigs last season then because the base of their midfield was always Armstrong and brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Here's the league table: We've only scored 7 goals less than celtic but we've conceded twice as many. We've been poweder puff in central midfield for years and an extra CDM might help that. A 4-2-3-1 works for them and it can work for us too. I'm certain Murphy, Morelos, Dorrans, Candeias, and our attacking full-backs will get us plenty of goals. It's our defensive frailty that worries me.

Lloyd 10,756 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 No idea how anyone could not have Windass in their line up tbh. One of our most productive players and is finally starting to show signs he might come good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want a return to a Warburton style 4-3-3 with two attacking CAM? That didn't work out well for us the last time. We have the players to use the same 4-2-3-1 system that's currently being used by celtic. An extra CDM might help us win more midfield battles and offer the defense a bit more protection. We have more than enough going forward. Ultimately it's Murty's decision and it'll be interesting to see which way he goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I want a 4231 with a sitting midfielder and someone who can pass the ball forward like Dorrans or a similar type (maybe Docherty) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that'll be different when he finally comes back in to the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want Jack starting should be Dorrans and Mccrorie because he’s a more aggressive defender than Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by what Murty has been saying, Goss will be a starter. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42590038 It looks like an issue has been identified and he has been bought in to address it.
