GazzyB Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Kelly Mugabi Sondre/Lamie if he’s not fit Ojala Carroll Goss Slattery Donnelly/O’Hara Woollery Van Veen Watt That is our best team right now. Play it and 2-0 to us. Play O’Donnell, Grimmy, McGinley and put KVV out the left and we won’t win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Daft Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Agree with GazzyB, GA has to deploy KVV through the middle where he will do most damage, Watt just in behind him with Woolery out wide, O'Hara needs to be back in the starting 11 as for SOD I'd give one more chance to play like we know he can, could be that GA has to throw him a Scotland strip and tell him to play like he does for Scotland for us those surging runs down the wing for example, shots on target, tackles stopping breakaways, things that he doesn't/hasn't been doing for us for a change! Tough game as United going well, taking something from the game wouldn't be a bad thing but with my heart ruling my head I'll say 2-1 the mighty Well.

Donnelly and Slattery is an imbalance straight away unless we play with 2 deep lying midfielders with 3 others around them. Certainly not how this team is set up.

Kmcalpin Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I agree about switching Mugabi for O'Donnell. At least give it a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I would absolutely get O’Donnell out of the first team, that’s for starters. O’Hara in the middle may well be a decent shout KVV needs to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yosemite sam Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Can't agree about Goss in midfield. He produced absolutely nothing against Celtic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an unfair game to judge him on though. He's looked decent in the flashes I've seen of him previous to the weekends game. He deserves a chance against a side that isn't Celtic or Rangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I like Mugabi, but even when O'Donnell is just average, he offers a width and crossing ability the Mugabi doesn't. The last thing we need is less width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 We can't go away from home with a non existent midfield against a team in form and play our 433,we have to start this game with the aim of being hard to beat and see where it gets us.i would be tempted to go 352 and bring in carroll and sondre and go with van veen and watt up top.

I’d say Justin has shown more than Goss and more suited to a right midfield role. perhaps as below with +1 being any one of Sondre, Lamie or Mugabi kelly O’Donnell Ojala +1 Carroll Justin Slattery O’Hara Roberts KVV Watt Alternatively stick Grimmy at right back and push O’Donnel up to mid right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I thought his inclusion would be more gradual. Found it surprising that the manager kind of threw him in at the deep end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most tactful of replies, but we'll let that stick to the wall. If you read back, no-one has suggested that GA will make that change, but a few of us have raised that as an idea with merit, at least on a trial basis.

grizzlyg Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 No way will GA Drop o'Donnell , I would go 3 5 2, Mugabi, ojala and Lamie/sondre, SOD and Mcginley as wing backs, Donnelly behind slattery and Goss and KVV and Tony up front. Would drop woolery as still to be convinced about him....COYW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictions are Pre match GA will talk about having a full squad only to find out later we have key players injured We'll play a 4-3-3 with at least a couple of odd choices. Allow Utd +60% possession and lots of shots at goal. We'll tire them out by allowing them so many chances. They'll miss their opportunities and we'll have Watt or KVV secure the points. We'll be happy with the points and hope that some day performances improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
