But either way someone is going to be dropped which is a nice headache to have. i do want to see 2 strikers though Morelos plays better with a partner. Having 2 upfront would create more quality chances as well. Most of our goals are crises into the box, intra play between 2 strikers would be beneficial. cummings and morelos upfront will take chances. Cummings is defo going to score against them then play the flute to Scott allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camshy 812 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Why would we want to change shape and formation right now in another big game, as someone pointed out dropping Murphy AND Candeias would be idiotic and negligent. The team picks itself right now and imo thats a good thing because it shows the players are performing and we are getting results, this also increases their confidence..........why rock the boat simply to put 2 up front, also with that formation with 2 and dropping those guys it seriously weakens our attacking options. You put 2 up top and the only support is windass as John, Tav, Holt and Goss will be defensive. All round a bad bad idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rum Ham 2,059 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Don't see why we would set up any different to the sheep game. As long as Candeias and Murphy put in a shift tracking back again, and Holt and Goss don't let the wee guy that looks like he lives under a bridge get much of the ball, we should be fine.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Morelos and Cummings have to start upfront if it’s starting to frustrate me a bit that we can actually have a decent partnership but are reluctant to do so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candeias is our most creative player outside of Tavernier and Murphy’s arrival finally offers us quality on the left. I haven’t given up hope on Cardoso but I would not put him anywhere near a three man defence. Or, if we used a 4-4-2 instead, is our midfield really strong enough to cope in the middle of the pitch? I don’t fancy a duo containing a pairing of Holt, Goss or Docherty as one capable of facing Hibs’ three central midfielders. We’d be overrun. For the moment: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

I know it’s not broke but I can’t help feel we could be better by having them 2 form a partnership I’d at least try it and revert back to previous if it looks like wobbling but we aren’t clinical enough even though we are playing well enough - that’s something we should look at imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd 10,756 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Windass isnt good enough out wide he should start down the middle or not at all and a 2 man midfield will get torn to shreds vs Hibs. Has to be a 4231 for me Cummings and Morelos up front together will be good for games against Diddy teams that sit on our 18 yard line but not big games like this where we need to win the midfield battle.

How’s it a 2 man midfield when there’s 2 wide players there too? It’s not exactly 4 upfront and 2 single midfielders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re on the back of two good wins against the Sheep and County. Let’s stick to a winning formula for this one and then see how things are in the next game. When McCrorie and your number one candidate for the John Greig Award, Ryan Jack, return then maybe we’ll be in a stronger position to go two up top. Even more so, the comeback of your other favourite, Jordan Rossiter, might even help us out more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,192 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think the point needs to made again and again and again that we cannot drop Candeias for these games. Offensively and defensively he’s key to our entire game plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not exactly 4 upfront and 2 single midfielders Murphy may tuck in to create that effect but Windass won’t, he’d be a winger not a wide midfielder we already seen that when we played him on the wing in a 442 already this season which got overrun in midfield nearly every game.
