cp9 753 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Alves being fit is massive for me. So far he's been decent but for me this is the type of game we signed him for. ZZed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,428 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Were going to need to score 3 to win this. I think we'll start and score first but if it goes the way our games normally go by the 70th minute the tide will have turned and we'll be chasing the game and get beat. If were going to have a breather for 10 minutes let them have the ball in their half and stay high up the park, instead of playing offside on our own 18 yard box inviting pressure on, we can't close out 1-0 games yet. It's clearly a tactic Pedro wants to use and when it works it is the making of a title winning team but we need to learn how to do it and we are learning but this isn't the game to do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC16 226 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think its down to how we defend.need to have a good shape with the back four and two sitting midfielders. Hopefully press higher up pitch and no invite them on to us as dont think we re good enough to sit back and soke up pressure Think cardoso is bang average so far and although bruno looks class on the ball and looks as if he is strolling it, ive no been impressed with his actual defending. This should be a game he thrives in Cannot concede early.then we never know what can happen.must get in their faces and keep discipline.definetly can score a few against these cunts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I watched the match last night on RTV, maybe it's possible for Pena to be right for this game; his use of the ball was quite good at times. My concern is the pace of this game, and whether he would be up for that, but only one way to find out. I'd have a middle five, a back four, and one up front. I'd give serious thought to Hodson being LB, and John in front of his as well. Drop Windass. HG5, ZZed and writingranger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The chances teams are creating against them are criminal. Their defence is dodgy as fuck and is their big weakness. Attacking is their strength. That's why the midfield battle is so so crucial. Match it then it's game on. Dominate it and we play the game in their half which will result in chances we have to take. We need 5 in midfield. The outside 2 with pace. The 3 in the middle able to get stuck in. I wouldn't mind Pena being one of the 3 as he can also be an extra man going forward quickly. 442 is a huge risk. As Thistle and Hivs have already shown.

Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 We need to turn this game into a battle and hopefully we have Alves back for it. Going by refs so far we will be a man down within 60mins if they are not winning so we need them to lose the rag which means in Browns face do not give him an inch to even look at our fans.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 4-5-1 or 3-5-2 and we win this game. Flood the middle and use candeias tavernier John and windass to counter at speed. 3-1 home win Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,580 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think everybody's of the same opinion to flood the midfield, if Pedro doesn't do this he's blundered right away Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valance1690 3,826 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Think the problem we have is Pedro genuinely believes we have the ability to go toe to toe with these cunts, from what we've seen so far this season, that's just simply not true. Fod Cardoso Alves McCrorie Tav Jack Dorrans Pena John Morelos Herrera Drop into a 5 when we don't have the ball, make it as difficult as possible for them. Cut out their supply from the wings and we can win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear 4,096 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Bottom line is we stop Roberts and sinclair .. we Need 5 across the middle . I'd prefer 352 and that gives us pace and targets when attacking . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just. Same 10 as I currently think is strongest and same 2 im not sure on. Think we were better when Pena was on but fell out the game when he went off. But then a lot of that was as much down to morelos appearing knackered and the ball repeatedly coming back at us as it was Holts performance (decent imo). Will likely all change again once we find out about injuries in the presser. The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I quite like the fact that with Holt we know exactly what we're getting; the good and the bad, but we know that he will give us energy, and not give them a minute's peace on the ball; with Jack and Dorrans having their first game in this that might be no bad thing. It may have been no accident that Holt got game time the other night, so he might play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
