We look a better team playing four at the back, especially if we're signing two wingers. I think he might have to be patient to become a regular starter.

Played in the middle of a 3 for Livingston but very good with the ball at his feet, having seen the issues with Berra on the left of a 3 it seems to make sense to play Halkett there. Should give good protection to Mulraney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Walker and Halkett, another two players who have a proven track record as SPL standouts. shite signings Impressive what CL is doing it is up top where we need improvement But for me what needs to change is more positivity away from home and to stop changing system every week We are building a good squad and some good youngsters coming through think we may surprise a few this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgieshed Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If we get this lad in, Naismith on a permanent, 1 more attacking midfielder and a new keeper then we have a very strong starting 11 for this league.

Depending on formation (3-4-3 / 3-5-2 / 4-2-3-1) all of the following players can play as forwards or an attacking midfielder: Naismith Clare Mulraney Walker Morrison McDonald Lee Washington Wighton We have both, quality and cover in that position.

busby1985 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Still think we need to lose a few players to keep the squad trim and competitive. Cochrane, MacDonald, Irvine and Morrison will all be looking for first team football, maybe a few loans from that list. Lee, Bozanic, Wighton, Edwards and Clare will all be looking for first team football as well, don’t think loans will on the cards for them apart from Wighton maybe.

It is isn't like that in the top league and even games at Tynie where we are favourites we will have spells on the back foot. Also, Mulraney deserves to start over any new signings. I think that's only right given the way he improved over the course of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formations are fluid these days anyway, often the numerical lay out prior to kick off is no more than where they stand before the game starts. People get far too obsessed with formations.
