MasterD 7,446 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Subs--Sebastian Faure / Chris HegartyIan BlackFraser AirdRobbie Crawford / Kal NaismithLee McCulloch / Andrew LittleThat would be my team. I'd have Little up with Jig on the bench because although he has scored quite a lot he's too slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveRangersFC 2 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 if his injury has 'cleared' and he is match fit then explain how he wasn't fit for Annan on wednesday? So if sheils had started inplace of Little then who plays wide right? McLeod, Black or Hutton?A don't have a clue why he wasn't there for annan , but I would a had him on up with jigg ... And you didn't mention Barrie McKay a would have him on the right with temps on the left and McLeod and black in center . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Mate there's a big diffrance that's Barcelona , if we had players like that then coisty could play 1 up front all he wants .Theres no difference. Tactics are tactics whichever way you want to dress it up. Many clubs use either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-2-1 system. Very, very few outwith Britain even play 4-4-2 now. Its outdated and fairly basic. It also puts much more emphasis on your centre midfielders being the box to box variety. The newer systems allow teams to have a distinct attacking and defensive side to their play. The 4-2 are responsible for the defensive part of play whilst the midfield sitters have a responsibility to start attacks, whilst the attacking players have much reduced defensive responsibilities.

scarkev 3,540 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Why? he hasn't been all that great.MacLeod has been our most consistent performer this season and it was noticeable today how much he helped dictate our tempo early on. He did look tired as the game wore on (still feeling a bit rough?) but when he went off I thought we noticeably lost a bit if attacking momentum.

The Dude 20,026 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 MacLeod has been our most consistent performer this season and it was noticeable today how much he helped dictate our tempo early on. He did look tired as the game wore on (still feeling a bit rough?) but when he went off I thought we noticeably lost a bit if attacking momentum.This is my point about McLeod. If he sits where Black/Hutton are then he is lost. He has been fantastic this season and has been the one player for me thats really stood out. Once he fills out a wee bit more then he might be better in the sitting role but just now he is a more attacking player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Seriously ? , he's one of our best player he was scoring goals before he got injured ?So was Kevin Kyle before he got injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Try tell ally that !Having sat and watched the game there is no need. The players carried out their positional instructions pretty well. The only thing that let us down was poor decision making in the final 1/3. That will come with experience for the younger boys.

He's blue he's white 717 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We play with 4 'attacking' players.. Templeton, McLeod, Little and McCulloch. The two holding midfielders are used to lessen the defensive responsibilities of those players.Agreed to an extent - but wouldn't class McLeod as an attacking player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Agreed to an extent - but wouldn't class McLeod as an attacking playerHe certainly was today. Playing in the hole behind McCulloch. Similar role to the one Templeton has played the last few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
now then forever 298 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Dear AllyPlease please please play two men up front in division 3, especially when we are playing against ten men! Don't know how many times today we beat our player out wide got a chance to cross and there was only McCulloch in the box to hit against 3 or 4 elgin defenders. Templeton and Mckay on the wing with two central midfield players (MacLeod plus one other, probably Hutton). And play Little through the middle with McCulloch. Also the likes of Sandaza and Naismith to pick from. The formation today was like we were playing a spl side and it stayed the same when they went down to ten men. Thought eventually Little was going to play up front with McCulloch but then he moved him back into midfield ffs.On the plus side today Wallace and Templeton on the left look really good and McKay looked dangerous when he came on.Ps don't know if anyone has noticed this but at set pieces we generally get everyone back or leave one up at most and we seem to overload the front post. Don't know how many times today they had a set piece and they had a player free at the back post despite us having about double the number of players in the box, luckily their crossing was pretty poor but I've noticed that in quite a few games.

now then forever 298 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 4-2-3-1One up front in division 3 is no good, what's the point of having good wingers if you've only one person to cross to in the box surrounded by defenders. Having Black and Hutton playing together in these games is a total waste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
