Glad to hear that, I couldn't make it tonight due to work. I was concerned they might cramp each others style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You could tell they had played together before. Had a real good understanding of each others game. Barton just oozed class in almost everything he done. He is going to be the driving force in our quest for 55. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality they both ooze means that MW needs to find a way to make it work.   They've played in the same team before... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Rossiter and Barton are similar and I'd swap Halliday for Rossiter - but it's great to debate the myriad of options we do have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron1873 538 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't think a midfield of Barton, kranjcar & rossiter is completely suited. I think putting windass in for either Barton or rossiter would work better. That would give one holding, one creative and one to support the attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 How can anyone talk about dropping Waghorn? Â The guy has 20+ goals in him again this season, even if he's on the right, he'll still get that. Â The worrying thing is for the rest of the league, is if we can get another 30+ goals striker, then as long as we get a solid pacey centre half, we are fucking laughing.

JockyWilsonspants 80 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think Barton and Rossiter are suited together, or, at least there are enough differences in their game to ensure they are not playing the exact same role. Rossiter drove forward more than Barton. They probably wont be constantly on top of each other deep in our own half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullyRFC 5,230 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'll just wait for the thread saying we need rid of Kiernan and Wilson when we start playing better teams in the league. Tav is no use against better sides either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumnockbear 2,446 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Wilson and kiernan looked a solid partnership last nights they seem to have a better understanding of each other this season, I don't know if that's down to hill coming in and passing down his experience or the fact that we have 3 CBs and a 4th coming in making them get the finger out their arses knowing they can be dropped at any given time as apposed to last season they were 1st choice every game with no competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,751 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'd have Foderingham Hodson New CB Wilson Wallace Krancjar Barton Windass Waghorn Dodoo Mckay Probably incredibly harsh to drop Tav but from what I've seen of Hodson already he looks a bit more defensively assured and isn't afraid to bomb forward either to contribute. Thankfully I'm not the manager trying to pick 11 out of the team we have Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity what exactly are you basing you're preferred centre backs on ??? From what I've seen so far as the OP states. Thoughts on that could change but I haven't seen enough of Hill yet to say he'd be a regular starter. I still 100% believe that we need another CB(hopefully with pace). The main thing is though, that the team can and probably will change during the season with rotation etc put it this way we have far better options than at this point last year.

Spot on though I mean Holt and Crooks haven't been mentioned a great deal and I'm sure they'll be invaluable over the course of the season. I think teams could also be game dependent, for example when we play at Pittodrie or against that lot. Genuinely excited by the options we have.

Copland bear 7,966 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 We need more than a team, we need a squad with no passengers and this is what we have got, Can see Dodoo forcing his way in the team at some point and Clinton Hill is a must start for me, but the team have not really been tested yet as apart from Motherwell the other games have been a stroll in the park, but credit where it's due as we have come through the league cup section unscathed and left Motherwell in our dust.

Vanoli 4,654 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 What a side we've built by the way, come so far in such a short time. Im not sold on Rossiter starting yet, looked very good last night of course but he's only 19, got loads of time. For the moment im not sure we have enough to break down defences with him and Barton together so I'd still give Windass and Forrester the edge at the moment. Was going to include Halliday as well but he was poor last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGOH 2,344 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Think it's difficult to say what our strongest 11 is and there is no doubt that the team shape and lineup will change depending on who we are up against and whether it is at Ibrox or not. For games away to Tynecastle, Pittodrie and Torbett Towers, I'd go with Barton and Rossiter with Kranjcar in the free role. However, Halliday has started this season as good as anyone imo and looks like he will play a big role this season. Incredible to think about how far we have come in 14 months  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's nearly as good as some think he is and we have better on the bench. I know he's coming back from injury but we need our best 11 in the next few weeks and I don't see him as one of them.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
