something else Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I'd rather some of the fringe players who promised a lot (Bigi, Frear, etc) step up and give the manager a selection headache. Based on what I've seen I think Robinson sees our strongest team at present as: --------------------Carson--------------------- -----Kipre---------Hartley--------Aldred----- Cadden--Campbell--McHugh--Frear/Rose --------------------Tanner--------------------- --------------Ciftci-------Main---------------- Not exactly sure why he would want to drop Dunne.

ONeils40yarder Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 The left-hand side of the team is a massive concern for me, the squad is as deep as I can remember it, but it seems that our options for left wing-back, are an out-and-out winger in the injured Frear, or the right footers Tait and Rose. I'd like to see us move a couple of the midfielders or strikers on that aren't getting much game time, Fisher, Petravicius, Bigi and Grimshaw and bring someone in that can play the position properly.

Joeboy Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 What's everyone's thoughts on dropping mchugh, playing dunne Hartley aldred and Tait at the back. Pushing kipre in to centre mid with Campbell alongside him. Cadden on the right tanner on the left with main and çiftçi up front We have five first team players who are central midfielders by trade - it's the most depth we have in any position - I really don't see why we would want to play someone out of position there. For what it's worth, I think McHugh had his best game for a long time last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that Tait was two footed? I've said for months that he's the first fullback we've had in years that I can remember being equally capable with both feet.

supermarv Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Tait has been the most consistent and one of our top players over the 2 years absolutely ludicrous to even suggest dropping him, I like Cadden but hes not been up it lately, why not bench him or even Rose even though he does the dirty work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I would move Rose back to right wing back. Tait on the left. Back 3 of Kipre, Aldred and Dunne. Central 2 of McHugh and Campbell. Tanner in behind Ciftci and Main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_tony Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I always thought that Tait was two footed? I've said for months that he's the first fullback we've had in years that I can remember being equally capable with both feet. I think he's primarily right-footed but unlike most professional footballers these days (or so it would seem), is comfortable and capable of using his non-favoured foot for something other than standing. He's straight into the team for me and is essentially Hammell's replacement as Mr. Consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goggles & Flippers Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Tait was one where I thought where can you put him with limited spots in the team, highlighted by a few who have also posted their teams and left Cadden out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Fisher's absence from the bench, when we had no recognised striker on it, last night made me think we've maybe found a taker for him and didn't want to risk an injury. Robinson probably foresaw the need to take Main and Ciftci off at some point and I doubt he'd have been enthusiastic at the prospect of playing Petravicius as our only centre forward at the end of the game.

Robinson probably foresaw the need to take Main and Ciftci off at some point and I doubt he'd have been enthusiastic at the prospect of playing Petravicius as our only centre forward at the end of the game. I was thinking along the same lines, although it didn't occur to me that we might have found a taker for him. When the team lines were announced I thought we were a striker short and wondered what would happen if Cifti or Main had to go off early or even if they tired, as they did. If we'd been trailing Ross County with say 15 minutes to go we could not have put on another striker. Fisher might just have been injured or ill of course but his absence hasn't been mentioned anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdalli10 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think Campbell and McHugh with Tanner just in front of them should continue to be our first choice midfield three going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 How do we fit Hartley and Aldred into the team, they are the same player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 The three center backs that show up best in training / better match the opposition will get picked. Should be good competition, but we probably need another left sided option because dunne is all we have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Im sure Aldred was mainly signed to play as cover for Kipre. Aka on the right of the back 3. Hence you could play him and Hartley together no bother. Gives us great options at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
