This is why I think Just is much harder to replace than Watt. While Just catches the eye as an attacking mid who can score as well, his defensive mid qualities were just as good or better. His work rate, closing down and pressing players, winning tackles and making interceptions made him like getting 2 Players in one.
However, If Hodge turns out to be as good as suggested he should still be a great signing for us.
If we can get a goal scorer I think we can do very well this year. Don’t care if he is a number 9 or what style he plays, as Long as he can score goals frequently, that’ll do me. If we get another goal scorer then it might also help JT score more goals as defenses will need to focus on more than just JT.
I agree with that. Ball is more likely to stick with Said and we know it doesn’t stick with JT so I’d go but might change my mind in two minutes 😀

sparrow JGR Moorman Longelo
faddy Oscar
Lowry
JT Said Cook
What if Williams is fit? Does he replace Cook? Does it change our shape?
we also need more movement from our front players. Make runs for ball in behind. Make lateral runs to drag defenders about. Interchange positions amd in general give the defenders problems to deal with.
I think the first 7 almost pick themselves. Maybe JGR in for JKL but either is good. Johnny at RB if Sparrow injured. It’s the remaining 4 that stump me, especially since we don’t have a real centre forward. Id maybe switch cookie and Said or perhaps Said for Lowry, Vogt right, Cookie left amd JT middle. Or Is it JT up top with 3 behind him for a 4-2-3-1 ? The 3 Being Said plus 2 from Vogt, Lowry amd Cookie.
That’s the big question, what will our best starting 11 be? Not sure who we will have available but also not sure what that best 11 (or formation) would be.
If we have to play Freiburg, I’m not too fussed if we get beat here. Would want full team with no injuries, available for 1st leg at Fir Park.
If we get put out by HJK, I’d really like to see us hammer Stenny. He’s
How are ticket sales going for this game? We’ll need the crowd roaring the team on to see us thru the 90 minutes I think. Hopefully we can actually score some goals to put us in a better position for the last 15 minutes or so. Any word on Williams being available?
