saintbob1969 1,435 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Even our most doubting supporters can imagine we will take the win today and on form alone you have to take Hibs over Aberdeen. It looks to be an 'interesting' weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was central midfield and being sat far too deep. He was never going to do well. Different formation, different game. I’d start him. I like Candeias though so I wouldn’t be against that!

Yeah I watched him make clever runs for 45 minutes and neither Holt, Candeias or Mcrorie ever tried to find him. He didn't do anything against Aberdeen that he didn't do against Ross County.

B1872 20,436 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Woke up this morning absolutely buzzing! Still can’t believe if we win today we are only 2 points behind the greatest team that’s ever played the game. Solid 2-0 although our last 3 games have all finished 2-1 which is messing with my head on what to put on today. EVERY SATURDAY WE FOLLOW! ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I’ve said before many times that i’m Not Peña’s biggest fan but if you can get him in and around the box he does offer something. With Miller and Dorrans out the only other option in there for me would be Candeias out of position and I’ve gone for Peña. We may see a change of shape today if Murty wants to start with Candeias rather than Peña. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Peña’s overall contribution is lacking but there is no doubt that he makes intelligent runs and can score goals. The problem is our lack of options and I would like to keep the diamond midfield so Peña it is until we have more players available or change formation.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 A Morelos hattrick is 14/1. He's got his confidence back. Worth a tenner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that against the sheep shaggers at Ibrox and he looked a player. There’s no space for him to run in to when we play these teams and he isn’t good enough to hold the ball up. Second half against Ross County is how we should set up. Tav and Candeias firing crosses in from the first minute to two strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back and watch the first half against County, he finds cracking wee positions in the final third constantly. Our MF that day wasn't playing with heads up at all. That's the point. We need to unlock these defences, we're not doing that firing balls into their box that their big clugger CB's just boot fuck out of. We need clever movement to shunt them about and create room for our strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is our lack of options and I would like to keep the diamond midfield so Peña it is until we have more players available or change formation. To keep the diamond I think it is more about whether we play Candeias on the right. He doesn't suit it and I suspect if Murty uses him it'll be a 4-2-3-1. If he goes with a diamond with someone else on the right then Pena in the forward position is still a decent option imo, although Windass could play there.
