What formation?

[Heartsfc_1874]

I think personally 4-5-1 diamond would work best.

 

Alexander(signing potentially today)

 

Paterson New CB(In talks) Wilson Mchattie

 

Keatings Gomis Nicholson

 

El Hassanaoui. Holt

 

Carrick

[Unknown user]

A fluid 4-3-3 is the plan isn't it? Adaptable depending on circumstances so it can become a defensive or attacking formation.

This will be getting implemented throughout the whole club from the youngest age levels up so kids are able to move up age groups more easily.

 

[Diadora Van Basten]

The best formation just now is 4-2-3-1

[Bauld]

-------------------Alexander

 

Paterson CB Wilson McHattie

 

Gomis Holt

 

 

Smith Sofi Walker

 

Keatings

[jambmoz]

Surely we will play various formations situation dependant. The days of a rigid 4-4-2 etc are long gone.

Or Carrick or Keatings as striker and the new guy from the Dutch club in one of their roles.Plenty options in attack from the bench for that formation as well.

Agree, although I would have Nicholson in there replacing either Smith or Walker.

 

Going to be a big season for Sam, I really think he could be our biggest player next season.

[bringonthesevco]

For most home games I'd like to see us really go for it - 4-1-3-2 type formation and only use the 2 holding midfielders for Sevco at home and some of the harder away games , we have the pace and skill to really take it to teams this season . Fluidity is key !!!!!

That just tickled me.

 

On the topic, formations are academic. I want us to pass the ball and try to score goals.

[IMA MAROON]

Paterson new c/h new c/h Wilson

Holt/Robinson, Gomis, new left mid

Soufian, Walker/Nicholson

Keatings

[Chris#9]

Neilsen has spoke of playing 4-4-1-1 through all the age groups in the past. Due to it being very flexible

[Jamboy81]

442! We want attackin football :'>

[WilsonHMFC]

if i remember rightly arent the youth team taught to play 4-3-3? so going with the new top to bottom model id imagine itll be that.

[Bauld]

With any hope we will have a flexible formation that shifts smoothly from defence to attack depending.

 

There is no room in footbal for rigid formations anymore.

 

 

[letsalldothebeattie]

Looking at what we have its hard to see what exact formation. We cant rely on Carrick up front on his own he could do with help from Keatings. Where Souf fit in if we go with 2 up.

 

I would go for:

Keeper

 

Paterson-McKay-Wilson-McHattie

 

Robinson-Gomis-Holt

 

Nicholson

 

Keatings-Carrick

 

Probably not the exact side but i like the thought of Nicholson having a free role behind Keatings and Carrick could create and score us plenty goals from that position

[BigAlim]

We could do 4-2-3-1 against Hibs, 4-4-1-1 against Rangers, 4-4-2 against smaller teams, 4-3-3 against Alloa, 4-5-1 against Premiership teams in the cup and 4-6-0 if we play Celtic, It's up to Robbie really

[King Of The Cat Cafe]

Let's celebrate the old days properly: 2-3-5.

[jambogjh]

With players such as Patterson in the team that flat back 4 can easily change to a back 3 with Patterson pushing into right mid, the squad RN and CL are building will be flexible and change back and forth as games pan out.

[bighusref]

We could do 4-2-3-1 against Hibs, 4-4-1-1 against Rangers, 4-4-2 against smaller teams, 4-3-3 against Alloa, 4-5-1 against Premiership teams in the cup and 4-6-0 if we play Celtic, It's up to Robbie really

 

Please tell me this is a pee take of the thread! I hope so.

[Masonic]

i really hope more than 1 striker because if we dont we will draw too many games and wont win the league

[Mikey1874]

Something like Chile versus Spain last night?

[Diadora Van Basten]

Something like Chile versus Spain last night?

3-4-1-2 last seen from the Juve team of Vialli, Ravenelli and Del Piero

[BigAlim]

 

 

Please tell me this is a pee take of the thread! I hope so.

I'm taking the piss husref, who cares about formations? You can win with any set up if your players are good enough

[Cardiac Rucksack]

Fower fower too

[Watt-Zeefuik]

I loved the 4-1-4-1 we played a bit last year, particularly against Celtic (not the 7-0 game), but partly because McGowan played so much better in the withdrawn defensive mid spot than he did anywhere else.

 

Not a fan of lone striker setups, never have been. I suppose Gashauskis9 has a point, and a Christmas Tree formation gets us our best players on the field, but even if it means pushing Nicholson and Walker higher up the pitch, I'd prefer a 4-3-3.

4-2-3-1 as the basic shape for me, but hopefully we will be fluid enough to adapt to the circumstances in any given game.

Like it - very attacking, looking forward to see Holt dominating games

[BIG ECK]

I think we should cheat and play the 5-1-5-1 formation
