TheBigO Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 33 minutes ago, Harry Potter said: We are 1 point behind the Italians, hardly need drugs too be positive, lol. It's a bit like the league, all the doom and gloom about our league position, but we were a win last Sat from being 2nd, and given all our issues so far this season, plus Europe etc, only 6 points off Rangers as it is. Really not so bad. Same in Europe, 1pt behind Fiorentina halfway through, you'd probably have taken. Hoooowever, in both competitions, you look at the upcoming fixtures and think.... well, got some tough times ahead!! Even another 3pts on the board in the league with the fixture list we have would have been really nice just as a wee cushion. That livi game, or 2 more against Hibs, I suppose. Same in Europe, again, but then where would we have got those extra points!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Team wise, I think Robbie needs to take Neilson out of the firing line. Kio and the like didn't play well, but are big enough and ugly enough to take that criticism on the chin. I think Neilson needs a wee break and can come back into the team in a few weeks. I don't see him putting in anything other than a bad performance. Gordon Haring Sibbick Kingsley Atkinson Cochrane Kio Snodgrass Forrest Humpheys McKay Best 11 I can think of. Smith likely injured, Devlin suspended and Neilson needing a break. Get Harings experience into the defence. Sibbick playing in the middle where he's most comfortable and Kingsley playing left of a back 3 where he is most comfortable. Humphrys for me looked dangerous on the ball but not much of a goal threat. I think Snodgrass might be able to help us on that front. Especially as Grant is the alternative. Shankland didn't do enough on Thursday to keep his place IMO. Can bring him on later once Humphrys has ran himself out. Worth thinking about Conor Smith too. He's impressed so far I think, so could be a better option than GMS or perhaps even Gino. ****ing grim team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nny_ Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Feels like a must win game to try and get some momentum going in terms of the league. No mistake it’ll be a difficult game on a historically very poor pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscom Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I’d like to see Kingsley at left back in a back four. Possibly Haring in the middle with Sibbick. Atkinson at right back. We’d get the best out them in their correct positions. Lots of options in midfield but we shouldn’t be getting overrun or outnumbered.

mellors1874 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Team that should play tomorrow. Gordon Back 4 Atkinson Haring Neilson Kingsley Midfield four Forest kio Grant McKay 2 striker Shankland Humphreys No pissing about with it at the back or boring us to tears.

OmiyaHearts Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Feels like a must-win game, given recent results and performances. But we won't win, given our record against them, our inability to defend crosses and create chances. The team look low in confidence and with Robbies post Fiorentina comments basically admitting he set them up for damage limitation, they've probably lost a bit of belief. I can't see us getting a win til maybe Motherwell on 6th Nov? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the game in Latvia he’s been terrible for a good year now. I would play Forrest he is a scrapper and can actually score and make things happen.

Forza Tertz Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 So many potential permutations but I'd go with: Gordon Haring - Sibbick - Kingsley Aktinson - Grant - Kio - Cochrane Humphrys - McKay Shankland Killie will be pretty physical and aggressive so our own mentality will have to be better. Ash Taylor is a threat at set pieces so I've have Haring mark him for those. Ideally I'd rather have Grant further forward, not much between him and Haliday in this formation. For me McKay and Shankland shouldn't start in Florence so no harm in playing them tomorrow. If McKay is quiet in the first half he should be subbed at HT. Snodgrass and Forrest to get approx. 30 mins. Smith to be on the bench after going off on Thursday. Prediction: Killie 1 Hearts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
