Boyces beard Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 We need to go to a back four (until Halkett is back) and stick an extra man in the middle of the park, get Simms and Boyce to play as a front two and develop a partnership with McKay playing in behind them. Get Haring back in to the team alongside Beni and Devlin and have big Pete as the most advanced of the three with Beni and Cammy doing the leg work and providing cover when the full backs push forward. Pete has a good passing range and is always looking to pass forward, he will also chip in with a few goals over the season if you play him more advanced in a 3 with cover behind him. I know the boss is a stickler for the 343 but with the injuries in defence at the moment and the firepower we have available up front it would make sense to move to a back 4, especially at Tynie. Players like GMS, Ginelly, Woodburn, McEneff, Halliday, Moore.....ect on the bench to shake things up should we need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hopefully we do what Rangers did yesterday and come back firing. There's no team I'd love to take it out on more than Dundee. 6-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleLafferty Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I’m hoping that result was what a few players were needing. Likes of Boyce, McKay, Gino, Devlin, Cochrane, Moore just haven’t been good enough in the last few games. If you can’t get a reaction from that result then I worry about some of their mentality.

Our team were woeful at Ibrox. I'm not sure what that does to a players/team's phycology. How does the management team pick up the squad for a midweek game so soon after being taken apart in such a manner. I say taken apart but it looked more like allowing them to take us apart! Will he be able to motivate the players like GVB motivated his team after the heavy defeat to celtic? I'm not confident. I think Dundee will smell blood but I want to see if this management team/squad of players have the bottle. Big test. Lets see what what we are all about. I know we have injuries but we are a 'squad' and should have enough quality to cover. That said, I think 2 or 3 need dropped to the bench after that display yesterday!

What does that do for your confidence going into the Dundee game? If you're a Dundee player and watched that I would be thinking lets go to Tynecastle and try and rattle Hearts. I don't think Dundee has anywhere near enough to rattle Hearts at Tynecastle but I've been wrong before. Lets see if Sunday was just a bad day at the office. I hope it was.

Captain Canada Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Assuming everyone is fit: Gordon Souttar Sibbick Kingsley Smith Haring Pollock Halliday McKay Simms Ginnelly Subs: Stewart, Atkinson, Moore, McEneff, Devlin, Beni, Boyce, GMS and Cochrane. I can't justify having Woodburn involved. We need to utilise the squad because we've had a lot of games recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The defence yesterday was my biggest fear and so it proved. I think we will pass up chances here if it's the same. If Smith is fit play him in front of Moore. Cut out the casual play out from the back as well. Hopefully Souttar is fit, the guy is night and day to what we have got at the moment. Halkett one of the biggest misses and shows how much we miss him when injured. Got to try and get through the next few weeks without dropping too many points and still in the cup.

Ex member of the SaS Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Wed could be a great night, we beat Dundee and go thirteen points clear if DD utd beat Motherwell. Hibs could drop to 6th due to the same result and Sevco beating them. Either way Motherwell will still be 10 behind if we both win so no harm done. Just need to get the team up for it and firing on all cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIEIO Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Any updates on Smith and Souttar's fitness? Even without them we should be too strong for Dundee. Both previous games against them have been close so we are due to give them a good thrashing. 4-0 Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hopefully the Dundee mgt team haven't read the comments from the tactical geniuses on here and attack and press us from the start. There is no defence for that apparently. It will guarantee them a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynecastlesmychurch Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Our goal difference took a bit of a hammering yesterday. So it would be nice if we beat them 5 or 6 in response. Ultimately a win is a win. But I would hope we get a response with a performance as well as a thumping win too! Do that and for me the disaster yesterday is forgotten. (At least that’s how I feel anyway) others may naturally disagree! Mind you I’ll most definitely be back to happy clapping if we win our next 2 or 3 games anyway!
