DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 you cant just class whittaker as a defender. he plays anywhere, and many have said he's better attacking than defending. so with regards to who is fit, the starting XI is easily good enough to beat killie, no matter what formation gets used!

JamieD 18,932 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 In adherence to my tradition of trying not to criticise the line-ups and tactics before the game has even started in case I end up looking like a tit, I'll refrain from doing so now, but I am nevertheless dismayed at the look of that and desperately hope to be proven wrong.It's Killie for fuck's sake.

lancedeangers1 287 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I suppose its just the points that matter, but my God Walter if that is the official team then that's shocking.How to hell are we to ever improve the fluency and attacking ability in the side if we play so many defensive minded players in unfamiliar positions? Especially when you have more attack minded players on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabDYC 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Im glad I had no money to go to this today, already dishing out enough for thursday and sunday to watch us set up negative, but being negative against killie is really shocking, those tactics would be better if we had pace on the wings which we would have he were to start wylde n weiss on the wings.

mark_ni 12 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 ffs 6 defenders in the team. We will still win but it will be a scrappy one by a goal or 2 instead of the hammering we could give them if we grew some balls and attacked them. Really dont like whittaker in midfield.

There is no pace going forward and there weiss and wylde should both be starting imo if they did we could have the game killed off inside half an hour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 i dont think it will be negative. there's no reason we cant leave boughy, weir and bartley to defend. and let foster and papac attack at will. 4-4-2 for whatever reason hasnt been working all that well, maybe we're going to see something different? turning our solid defenive european formation in to a very attacking one in spl?? i'm probably wrong, but thats what im hoping to see if it is lining up 3-5-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordo7 147 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I really hope we're going with 2 upfront here. If it's 1 up, then Weiss or Wylde would have been a better option to Whittaker imo. Still don't like playing with 3 central defenders. It's KIlmarnock we're playing against ffs. Are we playing 3 just to keep Weir in the team??

Adoniram 1,919 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Is he playing Bartley because he has to keep Arsenal happy and play Weir because he will never drop him thereby avoiding any "issues"In other words trying to keep everyone happy.
