upgotheheads Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 At least I will consider it offical if anyone replies. This is now a more important game than it should have been this early in the season. Smith looks likely to be out but Neilson will be available along with Snodgrass. I think we'll need Haring in midfield, WTF do we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Since Devlin suspended, is he back to being class player again while we pick on Kio, Shankland or someone else. So confusing trying to keep up with the jkb support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henroddy Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Maybe move Haring to centre half? I've no idea why with all our injuries this hasn't already happened. Obviously a few changes from last night's team. I'd expect Snodgrass to start. Nothing less than a win will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Massive game especially with the next 3 after this being really difficult. Not sure I can even stomach the Celtic game if we have us set up to just sit off them like we’ve done in every big game this season. Growing tired of the crap tactics we have deployed almost all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 _________________Gordon Atkinson____Haring__Kingsley____Cochrane ____________Halliday____Kio Forrest_________Grant________McKay _______________Shankland That's what I'd do. As solid as we can be at the back. Haring might seem controversial but he will win headers and clear the line. Far more experience than Neilson. Keep things tight and don't give away any early goals. I am tempted to put Humphrys in. But Forrest and Shankland do work well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatlock Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Haring anywhere near the team we lose. There is a valid reason why he doesn’t play centre half- he is rubbish. Having said that, it doesn’t matter who plays or what formation we play, our confidence is shot and we can lose, and heavily, to any team in this league just now and that won’t change until our injured centre backs get back playing. Our whole tactic since they were injured is wedging players out of position to the detriment of any hope of fluid movement. Bottom 6 I’m afraid until Halkett and Rowles are back, then it’s catch up.

MattyK82 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Depending on results on Saturday, there is a decent chance a win on Sunday will lift us back to 3rd. We’ve won 2 of our last 3 at Rugby Park (albeit our last game was that 3-0 Austin McPhee master class 😔). All that being said, the team look shot just now. With so many key players out, it has become quickly apparent we lack depth in quality. Absolutely no idea who will play (therein lies one of the major problems).

Walter Bishop Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Hearts -zero goals. Defensive set up, pray we don’t concede early, have more possession, less shots, hang on to the end for a point. Best case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm relying on us playing teams that are more our current level and the sort we would expect to beat. We have quality in our team relative to our level. We got pulled apart by Colak at rangers. They spent about 4m or more to get him in and he's a goalscorer. Fiorentina had Jovic back in the side and he dragged our defence to pieces. He'd only played 15 mins last weekend. You could see by his vision and movement alone why he was once a 60m player. Simply put we are ****ing miles away from that and we always will be till the sun burns out and the planets long gone. But we aren't below going to Kilmarnock and getting a result. That's where our level is. Beating shite like that and getting third place back.
