star sail Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Now that Ramsden has signed I am going to have a go at a formation for next Tuesday. I think that McCall will go defensive, even at home and will be thinking in terms of keeping things respectable so i predict he will go with ---------------------- Randolph------------------------ Hateley---Hutchison-------Page-----------Hammell -----------------------Ramsden--------------------------- Humphrey-----Law-------------Lasley-------- Murphy -----------------------Higdon------------------------------- This assumes that the Central defenders are fit.

Yoshi-1991 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 would rather he went for it at home and played that away if we get the result at fir park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well 4 Europe Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 --------------------------Randolph Saunders----Hutchinson---Ramsden----Hammell ---------------------------Hateley Humphrey-----Lasley--------Law----- ---Murphy --------------------------Higdon Knowing McCall, this is how I think we'll line up. If at the end of the night the scoreboard reads "Panathinaikos 0" it will be a job well done in the first leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Actually think that McCall might go slightly more attacking in the first leg. Having seen us boss the game at Ibrox second last day of the season with two up front, he might think the best way to guarantee 'Panathinaikos 0' is to keep the ball in their half as much as possible. I'm expecting the same starting eleven as against Everton with Hutchinson in for Cummins if he's fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell89 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 i still think we'll win 3-0 at fir park, dk why just a feeling and a tenner's going on it even then though I'm sure we'd lose 4-0 away ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing what is essentially almost a 4-2-4 with two frontmen and two wingers will leave us far too open in my opinion and the Greeks will pick us off. I wouldn't want us playing that way against some of the better teams in the SPL never mind Panathanaikos. Everton weren't anywhere near 100% on Saturday and on another day could have had 3 or 4. Bare in mind if we lose one away goal that's bad enough, anymore than that and the second leg becomes almost impossible. It will be hard enough to get a result in Greece without them having an away goal or two in the bank. Of course I'd love us to go to Greece in the lead but not at the expense of losing an away goal, a 0-0 at Fir Park would be not be a bad result and it only takes a Tom Hateley special in Greece to put us in the driving seat.

Well 4 Europe Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 not getting carried away mate but I think we have most of our problems at the back...so if we keep them, mostly in their own half, a big ask i know, we will have a better chance of keeping the tie alive imo and i also think its our best team I understand what you're saying but we played this formation(the one I suggested) against Odense and to me it was the one of our best performances in Europe, created half a dozen good chances and only conceeded due to sloppy defending at a set piece. On another night if we just took one of those early chances we would have went through. I just feel with three in the middle of the park it offers more protection to the defence and still allows us to impose ourselves on the game in an attacking sense.

Motherwell89 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 ---------------------------Higdon --------------------------Ojamaa Murphy--------------------------------------------- Hump -----------------------Law----------- Las Hammell --------Hutch -------Ramsden ------------Hatley -----------------------------Hollis I'd stick hollis in cause he'd play amazing knowing it would possible secure the #1 jersey Would pick Ramsden over page, Saunders etc just simple down to i think he would complement las and law better Pace on the wings to peg back there full backs so they can't support the attacks Ojamaa to link everything up from the middle playing behind higdon and linking up with the midfield and wings Higdon to bang them in/hold up play and just get stuck right in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC'd Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 What we can do is take heart from Dudelange of Luxembourg who have knocked out RB Salzburg over two legs tonight. I mean the gulf in class between ourselves and Pana is probably comparable with the gulf between the Dudelange and the Austrians. Perhaps a bit harsh on ourselves, perhaps we are closer in quality to Pana than what Dudelange would have been to Salzburg. But, either way - they have shown us how it can be achieved. They attained 1-0 victory at home, again showing how vital it is to keep a clean-sheet at home. They managed to secure a goal in the process to give themselves hope for the away leg. And took the lead in Austria giving them a priceless away goal, meaning Salzburg had to open up and score at least three times, meaning the minnows could hit them on the break. As such it finished 4-3 to Salzburg and the minnows going through on away goals. Just shows that upsets, as we know, can and do happen. Believe.

SteelEdge Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 ---------------------------Higdon --------------------------Ojamaa Murphy--------------------------------------------- Hump -----------------------Law----------- Las Hammell --------Hutch -------Ramsden ------------Hatley -----------------------------Hollis I'd stick hollis in cause he'd play amazing knowing it would possible secure the #1 jersey Great idea. I'd also drop Stevie Hammell for Zane Francis Angol & Lasley for Hetherington, cos they'd play pure amazing too knowing they could secure first team spots... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzie Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think McCall should sign me and play me instead of Ojamaa because I'd play pure amazin' knowing I could secure a first team slot... ....even though I'm pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
