Lukemfc1 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Big blow with Moult and Hartley being out but this gives others opportunities to step up to the plate. There's a fair few guys who haven't done much wrong but just haven't had a chance given how well the team has been playing for the majority of the season. Let's hope tomorrow can see the emergence of some of these guys. In terms of team selection, I still don't think we have the players to go 4 at the back consistently. I suspect this was more to deal with Aberdeen and Celtic in the last few weeks. I'd go back to 3-5-2 Carson Kipre McHugh Dunne Cadden Rose Campbell Bigi Petravicius Bowman Fisher I'd like to see us go very direct tomorrow, get the ball wide and pump it in the box for Fisher and Bowman. With the diamond style shape we have played recently I think we have lost a lot from Cadden playing through the middle. Give the ball to Cadden and Demi and let them pump balls into the box and use their pace in the wide areas. Hearts are pretty shocking and their fullbacks in particular are horrendous. I must admit I have been very impresed by Demi in the last few games and think we could be on to a real find. I am interested to see what happens with Bigi, it hasn't really happened for him the way some predicted but I think he has a lot in his locker, would like to see him given a chance. I think we lacked a bit of technical ability in the middle of the park the last few weeks. Really looking forward to this one, hopefully we can get back to winning ways.

livivoice Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I can understand why people feel that Mc Hugh could move tomorrow to Centre Half . For me though I think SR wont want to disrupt the midfield more than he needs to and will put Carl at centre mid. As for the defence I can see Dunne moving to Centre Half with Plummer coming in on the left of a back 3. In SR we trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Plummer plays centre back too, so if he is to play, a straight swap would cause minimal disruption. Or Dunne could move there and Hammell come in on the left. I'm not convinced Bowman / Fisher would work, but not unconvinced either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Pretty sure it will be tanner in for moult. Unless he plays the McGhee style 3 with petravicius and frear on the wings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hearts are very ordinary in the middle of the park and we should be looking to dominate possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I just have a feeling Moult won't play for us again and we'll sell him during January. Petravicious and Bowman up front. See how they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why no place for Tanner or Frear? Both have scored recently and, by accounts, have played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Sorry I just don't get it with Petravicius, he has not impressed me at all and would give Fisher the chance, his one game he did play against Dundee I was quite impressed and I am sure the more he plays the better he will get. SR also seems to also favour Grimshaw, so would expect him to be playing in midfield today. No problem about Griffiths playing if Carson unfit.

I agree there is an argument to be made for Frear he was bright last week. Tanner was pretty bad at Celtic though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 McHugh would be next in line to go in goals I think due playing Gaelic football. Having seen Morrison for the U20s he's not ready for this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
