duffy2391 574 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It's been a shite 24 hours, just interested to hear what sort of formations you think suits what we have and playing styles you'd all like to see employed for the season coming up?

rfc_watp 1,503 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'd like us to be able to successfully make a 5 yard pass to a blue shirt. Genuinely. One of the most infuriating things is seeing us struggle to do the basics well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds 3,359 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I know these threads are made every time we suffer a bad loss, but I just don't get the point. We have a shit manager, who can't tell his arse from his elbow and will lead us further into mediocrity, so any good suggestions made in this thread will only serve to depress.

Cobham 1,569 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 We need a driving force in midfield, two defensive midfielders playing sideways passes to each other isn't going to get us goals. We need a number 10 that has Kranjcar's vision and Durrant's legs and timing of runs into the box. We need wingers that can create chances for a striker. We need someone to take hold of a game by the scruff of the neck and dictate it. We need to be more aggressive 30 yards from goal. As much as we lost two goals last night I firmly believe we would immediately improve our defence if we put our chances away and took our opponents confidence from them. Progres never looked like scoring until the realised that we were never going to score and it got their tails up. Had it been 2/3-0 at Ibrox and if we were 1 up away they wouldn't have had a sniff at our goal. We are our own worst enemies. Anyway, more aggressive and clinical in attack is the short answer to your question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbyst 570 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 honestly have no idea what formation suits us need to see more games to assess it, but I'd like to see a more direct approach rather than passing the ball until we lose possession constantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Maybe try and have shot from outside the box or beat the first man at crosses. Pedro could stick this quote up on the dressing room wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobham 1,569 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Formation wise I'd like to see either 4-1-3-2 as we shouldn't need 2 holders against the majority of Scottish football or 3-5-2. I hate 4-4-2 but I think in some capacity we need to play with 2 up front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lloyd72 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 442, one target man to win headers and one quick bastard upfront that can finish, Tough tackling CMs that work hard, Quick wingers and a solid as fuck defence with a decent keeper.

Cedrick 8,048 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Pedros first game against Hamilton he went out and out 4-4-2 , everything that was lacking under warbs was in that performance, pressing shutting down , if full backs went forward toral tucked in , ball moved quickly , it's been a fucking unorganised shambles every since Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandhi1872 186 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I enjoy watching players who can run with the ball and go by people. This is something that was badly lacking from both games and doesn't look likely unless we get new wingers in. Kenny Miller should never be played out wide. At the moment, the style of play seems to focus on the full backs getting high and getting crosses in.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 4 1 3 2 for me, where the need for 2 holding mids in scottish football comes from I don't know. Also need 2 up front, 1 is useless when playing against packed defences as he's just marked out the game, 2nd forward means the opposition defense has more to deal with.
