Obviously Mair in goals. Vale suspended? I’d have Wilson and Halliday on the bench. Back 3 of Casey and Balmer plus either O’Donnell or Blaney but per Wee Yin’s observation let’s go with
O’Donnell Balmer Casey
midfield
Andrews Sparrow
Nicholson Slattery Maswanhise
front two
Watt Moses
We can bring Kaletta on for Nicholson as he tires. Likewise Wilson for TJ
Obviously up to each individual and it’s always nice to win medals and trophies but winning honours with Celtic in Scotland is a bit empty. They could throw one of us in from off here and we’d win medals.
I’m not saying his task is easy at the moment when u r missing about 7 starters but we are capable of much better performances with the group of players currently at his disposal he has to manage us through this period till we can get back to full strength although full strength will not include McGinn for this season
Ox, McGinn, Gordon, Miller, Seddon, Paton, Stam
Fair point but I think most fans are not so much concerned about our position or what we have achieved but rather they are looking at the rest of the season ahead and are rightly worried about where we are going to end up. We need the club/manager to be proactive and change things for the better now. Don’t wait till we are deep in trouble and then make changes. Those changes could be tactics, attitude, formation, team selection or whatever. SK is the guy getting paid to figure out the best changes.
Today it looked like we had no clue how we were supposed to be set up. Not defensively because there were huge gaps, not compact at all. Not flooding the midfield because we were totally out numbered time after time there. Not attacking/hi press mode because two forwards were isolated with very little support and left to chase after hopeless hoof balls. So WTF was the plan???
I really really don’t want to jump on the new manager merry go round again but SK needs to show some sort of willingness, soon, to be flexible in his approach to games and play the system that best suits the players at his disposal at any given time and at least try to play football because his negative hoofball approach is not working so if we are going to get beat I’d rather we got beat playing football.
