We Are The People 62 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 What do you reckon our best 11 would be, if everyone was injury-free! For me: Formation: 4-2-3-1 Wes Tavernier McCrorie Alves John Jack Rossiter Candeias Dorrans Windass(?) Morelos The only real weak link I see there is the left midfield role, but other than that - that’s a solid enough team on paper! Curious to see what everyone else feels is out best 11..

jjbscotty12 3,581 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I would like to try 3-5-2 I really want to see herrera and morelos up top together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH 270 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 That's pretty much how I'd line up, although I'd possibly plump for Alnwick in goal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 When everyone is fully fit i'd like us to try Fod Tav Alves McCrorie Wallace Candeias Jack Dorrans Holt John Morelos I think it gives us a good balance all over the park, more solid defensively (especially on the left), pace and energy to support Morelos, and a good mix in the midfield 3 of dig, legs and a bit more freedom to allow Dorrans to play..................

He's an enforcer/superstar in the waiting, apparently. For me Foderingham/Alnwick (both OK goalkeepers, neither anything amazing.) Tav (shite but the best right-back option we've got.) McCrorie Alves Wallace (shite but the best left-back option we've got.) Candaies (right wing) Dorrans Jack John (left wing) Morelos Herrera Not a great line-up to be honest, but the best of what we've got. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the words right out my mouth. I can only hope the longer they play together that the sum total is greater than the individuals. Build up the character, get a better understanding of each other and improve the fluency. The defence remains a worry, but going forward I can see DJ doing damage if he can consistently turn up like last night Best we are going to get this side of xmas.

I think John is capable of that but only in an attacking sense against second-rate sides like Hamilton. There's games he will look isolated and in-effective, but there will be other games (like last night) when he's on form against weaker sides and can have a good input in the final third.

TopCat 4,511 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Wes Tav Alves McCrorie John Candaeis Dorrans Jack Windass/ Pena? Moerelos Herrera Toss of a coin between Windass and Pena for the left sided slot. Both need to do a lot more to be regular starters. Strong looking team imho.

You have to pick one or the other for an attacking left back. The reason Wallace does well going forward is he plays with someone in front who is right footed and will cut inside leaving space for Wallace to overlap. If you played Wallace and John then they'd just get on each other's way as both are naturally attacking full backs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodson instead of Wallace? ... or Windass in front of Wallace? ... John is not a left-back IMO so we're pretty fucked there. I'm just putting the 11 strongest players for each position really. The blend and thought process is for our manager and coaching team to inplement. I'm not saying we are great or have great options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
