EIEIO Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Devlin must start in a midfield with at least 2 others. Despite the stick Sibbick takes , I would play him at centre back lets face it the away support will be pished and right behind the team. Humphrys up top to start. Make them work for a (likely) win this time around, we have plenty of options on the bench should we get close enough to receive any yellow cards.

1953 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'm going to enjoy the experience whatever happens. I can't see any way that we'll even get a draw but I really hope that we don't get a real doing. It will be nice to be able to celebrate a goal.

HMFC01 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I hope it's a boring match. No risks taken. Keep the shape. If an opportunity comes take it. We don't have to win. No pressure on Hearts to win at all. They'll want to win for automatic qualification. I think we'll lose 1-0 if we get the right combination of players. Could be worse if we don't. I'm not expecting us to win or draw at all. Very hard job to get everyone ready with key players missing. Halkett available would be excellent but I feel he won't be back until after this one. I'll enjoy the game even if we manage one shot on target but make it a good one. Not a rolling back-pass to the keeper. Hit it hard! Good luck to the squad.

Play with Wing backs for cover and it's gonna be a hard shift up top for Humphrys but he has some more pace power and ability in the air than what Shankland has. At least there will be a bit of grit in the middle and as strong a defensive line as we can probably put out. A right footer at RCB, a left footer at LCB and the only fit CB we have at CB. Be lucky to come away with a point but if Riga can do so there's no reason why we can't attempt it. I had something similar in mind with a 4-5-1 but many of the same players in similar positions. Smith Kingsley Akka Cochrane Sibbick Haring Devlin Grant Kio Humphries I originally had Shankland high and Humphries in place of Kio, but I think you're right, Humphries is better starting as an isolated striker.

That line up makes sense. Not convinced he’d play Sibbick there but I do think it make us solid and allows grant and the full backs to push up when attacking.

To me Sibbick in the middle of a 4-5-1 or a 3-6-1 is a bit of a potayto/potahto thing. You want his height back there to deal with headers but don't want him on an island defensively.

Lovely. Shame we don’t have any fit players with a bit height about them. It’s all a bit cliche for a weaker side against quality, but we really need to try make the most of any set piece in their half by getting it in the box rather than going short the majority of the time Edited October 10, 2022 by Gorgie_Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost in space Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Fiorentina don't look great when they are being attacked. Neilson will know this and set out a team to park the bus at home to them!! Of course, Neilson will learn from his mistake and attack them in Florence. Aye right. We are NOWHERE near the class of Lazio and Fiorentina have much better players than us. But surely we have to TRY to attack them and hope they miss chances as they did tonight.

Similar to what I was thinking earlier. It needs to be midfield heavy in this game. It’ll never happen(because the more it’s suggested it never does 🙂) but I’d play Haring with Kingsley at CH. We need Cochrane’s pace out wide for recovery and to get up the park when he can. Atkinson on the other side. Kio, Grant, Devlin in the middle. Grant to be the link man a bit further up but he’s capable of dropping back to defend. Would like to see Ginnelly support Humphrys. Shankland struggled with the strength of their defence but I don’t think Humphrys will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midloth_Iain Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I would be going with something like Gordon Smith - Sibbick - Kingsley Atkinson - Cochrane Devlin - Kio Grant (or Forrest) Humphrys - Ginnelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Think we will get pumped badly, Gordon Smith Haring Kingsley Atkinson Grant Devlin Cochrane Humphrey’s Shankland Gino Get some pace up front in Gino and Humphrey’s and hit diagonals to them to try to get in behind their defence. If we could get a decent shot on goal I reckon we could score as golini didn't look that great tbh. I know that won't happen though, we will be too busy worrying about them. 5 nil defeat.

HMFC01 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Gordon Sibbick Haring Kingsley Atkinson Cochrane Kio Devlin Haliday Humphrys Forrest Best I've got. Main idea is win the headers on the backline, midfield pick up the scraps. Get the ball out wide, hold it up, get free kicks. Maybe get a break through the middle. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will sit back, contain and get pumped. And then Post match say that we didnt go out to attack them, as we would have been left exposed and/or that we need our 2 primary CB's in defence before we can start to look at attacking teams. Saying that is so negative, and defeatist, yet I just do not believe that we will do anything differently, and to what I have said above.
