busby1985 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 St Mirren will play with 2 up front so it would be foolish of us to play 4 at the back as we know it’s more like 2 at the back with the full backs pushing so far forward. I’d say we should play 3 at the back. Obeka (sp) is big and powerful so I’d play souttar, Halkett and Dikamona on Friday night. bobby Dikamona Souttar Halkett Smith Hickey Irving Clare Walker Washington Naismith 3511 for me. Best way to try not concede and still gets walker and Clare on the ball and I think Naismith has to play up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Is Back Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Sir Gio said: Souttar was partially at fault for the first goal, didn't win the challenge and the ball breaks in behind, generally had a stinker to be fair I would never argue otherwise. The 2nd goal was a total cluster, Souttar however is the least culpable, a holocaust of a ball from Bobby, boy is sitting on top of him like a vulture, he has literally nowhere to go, Clare has a choice, and makes a horrible one Sums it up perfectly for me.

The whole defence needs to cut out the individual errors as much as possible. Take risks with forward passes but not at the back. He is absolutely hopeless. He looks worse now than he did before he got injured. Slows the game down at every opportunity.

kila Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 4 hours ago, Ted Hastings said: Cannot afford to keep shooting ourselves in the foot and having mountains to climb in games. With that in mind i hope we go for 3 at the back with wing-backs to be a bit more solid in defence. As much as we are light in midfield I much prefer smith in the defensive positions think he’s much more effective there. Souttar should be the one to make way after that performance against Hamilton, barely one a header the whole game. Zlamal Halkett Dikamona Smith Clare Bozanic Irving Hickey Walker Washington Naismith Edit just been reminded that Langer is still suspended so Bozanic in instead, cheers@Pasquale for King Like the look of that other than Bozanic and Irving are very one footed. I'd play Souttar in the back three and move Smith into midfield. Bozanic brings more than Irving in terms of pressing and energy and we need that.

Stendel has spoken today about how he thinks everyone believes we will stay up, we will win the next game etc. Not sure how we can be complacent considering where we are and what’s gone before in the last 18 months. We need to defend and attack as a team and fight for every point available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambopilms Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Seen far too many goals conceded from the keeper playing hospital passes at the back. If in doubt launch it up the park.

ramrod Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I keep reading it's not the managers fault and it's individual errors that's costing us Firstly Stendel kept picking Joel for weeks when he was clearly making error after error and secondly most defenders in the league will make errors during a game it's just that we don't have enough numbers back to bail out the defenders when the mistakes come along . The type of football we are playing in relegation battle is suicide and if we don't change it rapidly and get numbers back to help out in defensive we're dead in the water .

pettigrewsstylist Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 9 hours ago, GinRummy said: It’s not the system that’s to blame for the glaring errors in defence. Admittedly the defence has more to do but there’s absolutely no reason, other than poor form, for the constant stream of basic errors and piss poor positioning. A change in formation would protect the defence more as would not playing such a high line or allowing only one fb to join in an attack at any one time but it wouldn’t stop mistakes from players who are quite simply failing to do their job. It might stop the mistakes resulting in as as many goals conceded though. Or we could play defenders in defence, that should help aswell.
