OTT Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 17 minutes ago, Stu_HMFC said: Solid team Would change Walker for Henderson . Yeah, my big fear with Walker is that we can never be totally confident which Walker we're getting. Like, every player has bad games but when you think of players like Smith/Boyce/ Naismith, even if they have a bad game they are still 'busy'. I think Walker has a terrible habit of looking disinterested when the game isn't going his way, which from the supporters perspective is immensely frustrating, especially as we seem to be slow starters in games. To be clear though, when Walker turns up we've got a fantastic player. Watching him drive forward with the ball against Raith was brilliant viewing and I really hope to see that more from him going forward. It reminded me of him under Cathro where he very much was the main man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he could do with a sports psychologist getting in his brain and making him believe he’s got the talent, which he clearly does. Frustrating as feck.

Debut 4 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 They’ve only lost once this season and from what I remember they are quite tenacious in midfield. The centre of the park need to play with that spring in their step, be aware and alert of them closing down in determined fashion. Do that and outdo them on that front, we should get the goals over the course to win the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game a couple of seasons back, I'm sure against Hamilton. We played a 442 with Garuccio LB and Mitchell LW. We tore them up for arse paper, with those two in particular too hot to handle. Next game, 352 or something, and we lost. This may not be the most accurate anecdote now I see it typed! But it was something like that!!! haha. Point is, for years we've changed according to opposition and "science!". FInd a shape, find a team, tinker slightly, but impose what we want to do. Very few very succesful teams change shape and personnel wholesale every week as far as I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsley is very good as well. He scored a header from a set piece against them. Quality goal. Although him and Smith might be the two defending when it's corners. Losing this game isn't an option for me. Draw or win. Hoping win. 2-0 GMS and Naisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3fingersreid Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Whole team played well against raith rovers, Boyce scored , Armand a double on his debut, clean sheet, confidence should be sky high , they really should be starting on the front foot .

Kidd’s Boots Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Apart from Ginnelly, no changes for me. I think it may be a while before we see Boyce and Gnanduillet playing together. Boyce has done a lot of heavy lifting for us this season, and having the option to bring Armand on for the last 30mins until he's up to speed would be good management. Where we play Walker and Naismith will be the key, get that sorted and I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be surprised to see us play 3 in midfield for energy as no doubt Dunfermline will press again and will be all the fresher for not having played in midweek. Wouldn't be opposed to us playing a diamond. Gordon Smith Popescu Halkett Kingsley Irving Haring Halliday GMS Naismith/Boyce We do cry out for width but I can see this being a bit more of a battle so if we can control the middle and get crosses in from our fullbacks I couldn't see us losing. Possibly swap GMS with Naismith if you did want a bit more pace to help get in behind with Boyce dropping in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that Walker turns up for 1:4 games but he was brilliant against Raith. henderson on the other hand looks completely out of his depth in every game. Completely ballooned the ball over the bar when put thru 1:1. He opted for a ‘safe’ ball every time he was in possession which affected our momentum. Fair play, he managed to chest the ball over the line for the only goal I can remember him scoring. IMO, Walker was the driving force in our midfield yesterday. To drop him would be nuts.

All the games we’ve lost this season are down to attitude IMO. Im hoping we’ll see that we’re just a few wins from being safe for the title and this one is a big step towards killing it off. Plus they are due payback for more than one reason so let’s have the Tuesday Hearts and hope the Saturday Hearts don’t appear again for a good while.

HillmanHearts Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Think the team will be very similar to the one that started the 2nd half on Tuesday. Although a couple of Key decisions possibly : Walker or Naismith in the free (withdrawn striker/ advanced MF) role. Walker or Henderson on the right wing. Also worth noting that GMS has played a lot since signing after a bit of a layoff. But agree with most folks that it’s all about tempo and attitude from the off.
