He was outstanding and watches the next game from the bench, whereas Worrall does what he wants and will start. Great management. If it's a formation change, he has to drop Candeias, whereas Worrall has to play because regardless of his mistake, he's still way better than McAuley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are only considering a diamond to accommodate Defoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after losing to Killie, he's already had a warning that changing it doesn't work then he's had to ask those 2 to come back in and do a job for him Would be a kick in the teeth for either of them to be dropped today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,802 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 There's no doubting the diamond looked good to begin with, but SG seems to think it only failed due to the two errors. I actually wonder whether if the 1st one had been a run of the mill goal against us rather than calamity we might still have struggled the way we did. Was it as much due to Kilmarnock getting used to the system and how to counter it by pressing back with 2 wingers and becoming more compact centrally as it was due to us being shell shocked. We'll never know, but it looks like we'll see the system employed again today. Not what I hoped, and riskier imo than going 433, hope for his and our sakes it works.

I think the error knocked the teams confidence and gave Kilmarnock the momentum. When we was 1 0 up we looked like the only team scoring and was unlucky not to have made it 2 0. If we went 2 up it would of been game over IMO. We couldn't get the ball up to the forwards and with 2 up top it left us with 1 less person to win the ball back like candieas usually does and it was like the team was disjointed. I think at home the 442 or 352 will work fine on the bigger pitch but should probably stick to 433 away from home in the tougher games. Saying that I firmly belive the error cost us all 3 points against killie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Kilmarnock got confidence from it, and ours dropped, but it also looked like we were devoid of ideas in this system. I guess my concern is that the system might be a good one against lesser teams when we are pretty much wholly in control, but against smarter teams with players who can counter it with good wide frontman and strong centre mids then this as much as the error could cause us problems (and I think did versus Killie) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to take it for granted for us that see it every week but I’ve had a season ticket for the last 29 years but i only moved back to Glasgow 8 years ago mate, so I know the commitment it takes. I was 5 when we left Glasgow in 1978 and bought my first season book with my first weeks wages at 15 years old, and st that time I lived in Eastbourne south east England. I still played at that time up until I was 26 and a bad injury finished any chance of making it so From that point on it became and home and away and my life. I’d never tell anycunt what to do, but all I can say is this year could be special mate and if you’ve got the chance to be part of as much as you can then take it. Was all set for making the trip mate but the flights at this stage were 140 quid day return and coming back tomorrow was even dearer. Unfortunately I can't afford that this weekend with a car MOT coming up in a couple of weeks Made sure my seat was taken though, don't like ever thinking it's left empty.

hooooootchy 405 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I get the argument that Candeias should play cos hes been playing well, but on paper this is one of the easiest fixtures we have. We brought in defoe n davis to push for this league so getting them up to speed as quickly as possible is more important, and there no better fixture to do it in. I'm sure Candeias would understand and there would be no questioning his attitude when called apon again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
