Hungry hippo Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I think White is unlikely to play a third game in a week and, as I said on another thread, think Naismith needs to be rested for either this or the Celtic game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather we had a league fixture this weekend. Having said that if we had won on Wednesday everyone would have been bouncing for this game. The result on wednesday was so so depressing.

jambonian Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 They are used to winning. They will be fancying their chances bigtime, maybe more than they normally would. The Killie managers interview on Wednesday night says it all for me. Until we change the defensive system we will lose goals. If they were to beat us it wouldn't be unexpected. Time for changing systems before it's too late. I'd actually take a draw, wouldn't be happy with it but at least it would give us a chance in the replay if nothing else.

Though it’s highly unlikely we’ll get anything from the mhanks, we simply can’t give up on any league points. Naismith misses Saturday I’d think.

Hopefully no first team players are risked in this hindrance of a fixture. I agree and disagree at the same time. I get that in the sense that we need to concentrate on our league position, however, if there's any chance of getting to a Final again then the income would be very useful during the summer. It's also a chance to jump ahead of the others and grab a euro spot so again, extra income. Every pound helps get the players in that the manager wants. I'm a bit on the fence with this one. Good for cash, yes, not so good maybe for finishing league position. That said, a confidence-boosting result might help like it did after Airdrie when getting a result against Rangers2012. I can't decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) There's plenty players to choose from even if resting the likes of Naismith. Zlamal needs to come back in for a start. There are enough players needing game-time who've either just arrived or came back from injury. Walker, Avdijaj, Langer, Smith, Dikamona, Garuccio, Washington, Ikpeazu, Sibbick and others, maybe even a place on the bench for McDonald/Cochrane. Added to others already in the team then they should all be good enough to beat a League 1 team, home or away. Worst case scenario, a draw to get them back to Tynecastle. Even just throwing a team together you could use ............…...…….Zlamal, Smith, Souttar, Dikamona, Garruccio ……...………...Halkett ……….Clare, Sibbick, Avdijaj ...………...Boyce, Walker Plenty options for the bench to change things if needed.

Good point. Actually thought he was getting better after a long lay-off and then dodgy spell in the team. Didn't help that Levein was playing square-peg-round-hole yet again by playing him at leftback. He played his best football under Cathro, perfect back-up to Michael Smith, then his long-term injury. Came back into the team, looked well off the pace but seemed to improve again. Never been heard of for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The more competitive games we have, the better. New players, players back from injury, players playing in different positions, entirely new system for nearly all. Any opportunity to iron out the flaws and get the team performing. The fact we lose, we don’t drop further back in the League but it’s competitive is even better. “resting” players is a fine balance when we are trying to get a settled first 11. Could easily play 11 different starters but would that help building understanding? Would opt for keeping going with strongest start lineup and try out 3 subs in second half (injuries excepting).

Diego10 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Jesus Christ this thread is some reading. We've lost 1 in 6. None of our games are easy in the league, we're going to lose more before the end of the season as well. I know some folk thought beating Rangers would translate into going on an 18 match unbeaten run but if we lose 1 in every 6 from here I'll be happy. This is a great opportunity to try and tweak the defensive shape a bit and also a game we should be winning to get us in the quarter finals. I'd like us to change the keeper and also see how we look with Walker and Washington in the support roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanHearts Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Boyce looked knackered v Killie and Naisy lacked his normal spark. Maybe a half each for those 2. I'd play Uche and Washington. Direct pace and power on a shitty night. Would like to see Smith in front of the back 4. I'd definitely start Bobby and hope he has a good confidence building game to keep the gloves. Standing by Joel for the remainder of the season could well be our downfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabienleclerq Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Think it may be time to try three at the back with Smith playing a sweeper roll of sorts then stepping into midfield once we have the ball. The two full backs can carry on as they have been Naismith and Boyce up top, Irving, sibbick and one other in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Got a feeling the keeper won’t be dropped but he simply has to be, has to be the strongest team possible from the start. Get the game won, make subs to rest key guys once the job is done. Hopefully conditions are not as bad as forecast or it could be a bit of a leveller.

HMFC01 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Joel Clare Dikimona Soutar Garuccio Walker Smith Sibbick Bozanic Uche Washington 451 formation. subs: Naismith, boyce, halkett, Irving, Avdijaj. Bobby need 3 mid to close centre better than having 2. players that have ability to tackle. freshens it up abit as well. i'd be more happy with formation than the players I've picked. manager knows better than anyone who's capable and fit to play.
