Rocky jamboa Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Is it a 4231, with Haring and devlin holding, mckay, mceneff and Woodburn the 3 and ginnelly upfront? Or Woodburn up front instead of ginnelly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENE Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Was wanting Haring or McAneff, didn't expect both. Also glad Woodburn is back, hopefully this is where he shows how good he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDJ87 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Defo looks like 4-3-3 or 4-5-1(D)/4-2-3-1(A) to me. Haring and Devlin sitting with McEneff advanced.

Costanza Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 9 minutes ago, Fozzyonthefence said: I take it you’ve forgotten how Robbie changed it to beat them at Tynie when our 3-4-3 was getting completely outplayed and starved of possession? When teams play 3 in the middle against our 2 we surrender possession. We won’t see the ball if we play 3-4-3. Teams have sussed out how to play us, ordinary teams like Motherwell and Aberdeen, Celtic will rag doll us if we play like that just like they did in the cup game. Thankfully you’re not picking the team but I don’t have much more confidence in Robbie. Hopefully he’s learnt his lesson though. Ha ha I'm glad I'm not picking the team either. Celtic look to have changed their shape since that first game of the season so I'm not sure they'd overload the midfield. Interesting we're going 4 at the back tonight. Not sure how that will cope with their front 3 and the full backs pushing up. Anyway, you have your request fir a change in shape so hope it works.

R1874 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Good selection. Get Gino running in behind and Woody/McEneff/Mckay in support If still in game, Boyce and GMS can make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixHearts Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 GK Gordon RB Smith CB Souttar CB Halkett LB Kingsley CDM Haring CDM Devlin CM McEneff RW Mackay ST Ginelly LW Woodburn 433/4213 I reckon. I know there's the school of thought that you shouldn't change your gameplan to suit your opponents and instead force them to play to your strengths. That's all well and good playing at home to smaller teams, but away to Celtic it's perhaps a good idea to try to adapt. We know we need to control the midfield but also run and put them under pressure. Liking the look of that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Definitely a decent squad. If Beni were healthy I'd want to see us stay in a back 3 but with him out there's every chance of being overrun in the middle of the park. I think things could get dreary in the 4-2-3-1 but I'd rather start that way and then put in Cochrane for a winger after 75' or something to change the shape.
