gillsjambo29 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I thought it would be interesting to see the results of this one Boyce is clearly the better link mam but has missed some big opportunities recently Wighton is taking more chances ATM but his all round game is behind Boyce's I'm personally leaning toward Wighton as taking a chance early could be key.

karipidis Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Boyce was one of our better players tonight. He has to play. Walker probably going to need to do a job out wide so Wighton behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berra than you Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think it depends on who else is available. Boyce's all round play is far better, and if our other attackers (walker, ginelly, Roberts) are all fit then Boyce all the way. If ginelly is struggling, and walker (carried a knock late on) or Roberts don't make it might be better going with Wighton. In saying that though, of everyone else is on it i think Boyce offers us far more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToqueJambo Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Boyce seems more of a big game player for me so I'd stick with him. Wighton looked sharp again when he came on though. Took his goal well and made some good runs. It might depend if Gino is injured, especially if Roberts is out too. That could force a formation change to two up.

Jamie86 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Depending if Gino is injured, how about Boyce up front, Naisy and Wighton in behind and a midfield 3 of Haring, Haliday and Lee/Walker. Give up the wide spaces but we stop the ball going out there in the first place, overrun them in midfield and therefore stop them playing? Just a suggestion, might be rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanHearts Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Boyce. Class player. Wasn’t particularly sharp in front of goal tonight but his link up play and touch still stood out.

Horatio Caine Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think in a bigger game like next week's, Boyce will come good. All round play is great - just needs to add in the goals. A match against a better team will help him find his touch. IMO of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Neither , going on tonight’s general performance. Boyce is starting to frustrate. So casual and is too , almost, show offy( to use a term) in possession. Needs to add more purpose.....he does a neat piece of play then takes too long to release the ball or doesn’t get his shots away quick enough when the chance comes. Tbh, it was just generally a mediocre show from all the outfield players but we got the crucial goal from a ball we’d been trying all night. One came off for us eventually.

That would me the only way to build up his fitness surely ? If he plays next week, then he could blow out pretty quickly I just hope to god it isn’t any niggling injuries again. He is Such an important player for us but it’s becoming increasingly far more off the pitch, than on it. We really need him doing both.

jambo1975 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Boyce is the bigger game player out of both. Wighton performance in the rangers semi still haunts me (but he has improved).

tian447 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 We have to play 2 up front, Boyce and Wighton. We can't show that shower of shite the hint of weakness that a single man up front suggests. We are good enough to beat them, and we won't do that with a negative 4-5-1 formation. FTH.

JimmyCant Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Most likely IMO he’ll switch to a back 3 so we have 2 wing backs (Smith and Whyte) to stop their wingers hurting us I think he’ll play Haring, Halliday and Lee in the middle with Walker/Naismith off Boyce up front. This assumes Ginelly can’t play He’ll start compact, cautious and conservative and try to strangle the game and pinch something on the break, of that I have no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingAboutObua Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Boyce, he looked a lot worse after he became the playmaker and then had to chase his pass to be the other striker. If we can leave him as the out and out striker and get Irving or Lee behind him as playmaker, he'll be a better option than Wighton to start.

StirlingJambo Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Aye, stick the in form goal scorer on the bench!. Got to play the two up top together for me.

ri Alban Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Quality lies with Boyce, who'll cause more problems than Wighton. I'd play Walker alongside Boyce as Naismith hasn't played enough to merit a start. What a finish from Wighton, BTW. And being benched after s oring a hattrick, then the winner is a bit harsh on him. But he'll play more than not in the championship and will have a good season. Oh let's not forget.

I was thinking more along the lines of stretching the game in the last 30 mins. With Wighton running in behind a slow hibs CB pairing. It will be interesting to see how Robbie is going to approach this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Wighton is a good championship player. Boyce can do it at a higher level. However Hampden space may favour Wighton if we're playing a counter attacking game. I reckon both will get game time but Boyce's physical presence and self belief gives him the edge. When we played cup games in 2014-2016 we looked slower and smaller than the opposition (ok Celtic were our regular opponents). That remains my concern with Wighton. He may have bulked up, but as a player, he has always looked terribly lightweight against Premiership opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH11 2NL Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 4231, walker at 10, 2 wingers (if we have 2 fit) either side, Boyce up top, essentially becomes a front 4 when we go forward. Our best imo. CM the big talking point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that though, of everyone else is on it i think Boyce offers us far more Exactly. If we don't have two fit wingers then we will probably move away from 4231 and try to get our width from Kingsley and Smith. If we do play 4231 then if Naismith is fit I would probably start with Boyce and Naismith as they seem to link up well. If Naismith still isn't ready, I'd go with Walker and Wighton who also seem to play well together. Clearly different players but it's a bit like Yorke/Cole and Sheringham/Solskjaer. Some combinations work better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
