Pasquale for King Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Lord Beni of Gorgie said: They are experienced though and no where to pick up the positions. Halliday seems to find something extra with them. Agree Grant, played very well recently. With 5 subs and potentially a 6th for extra time, if you can get 70 minutes of real endeavour, you can bring fresh legs and plenty on Apart from the great cross on Wednesday Halliday has done nothing else against them, was targeted when he was on and played Kyogo onside for their first goal. Devlin constantly let the left back run off him and looked clueless on when to press. We need all 11 to be on top form to beat them and these two cant start.

Get Shanks and hopefully Gino in front of him and we can cause them problems. One things for sure we’re not keeping a clean sheet, that’s not a dig at our defence their movement always creates chances and a few of them are clinical in front of goal. It’s going to be a tough watch but you never know we might have learnt enough from Wednesday to trouble them. That requires a back four, maybe after 70 minutes when we are losing., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really just names in a hat. However, Neilson may stick with the wing back system. Some are putting Hill at RB in a 4 but I don’t think he ever looks comfy when he’s filled in there. This is the problem we have with RB if Smith isn’t fully fit or taking longer to recover after matches with one on the horizon soon after.

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Clark Sibbick Rowles Cochrane Kio Atkinson Grant Snodgrass McKay or Kuol Gino Shanks or Humps or Oda For the big fearties in our support; add Smith and go 4 at the back and remove a forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5jambo1 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I think he found a system that worked on Wednesday so he may well stick to this tomorrow. I know it’s at home and a cup tie but I think he will play the same formation but try and press a bit higher and maybe try push the ‘wingbacks’ up a bit. I think he goes Clark Smith Sibbick Rowles Kingsley Cochrane Kio Devlin Snodgrass Gino Mckay Harsh on Grant so unless he plays instead of Kio I think he plays Devlin and Snodgrass.

Luckies1874 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Certainly want Shankland fit, after all look what he did earlier in the season in this fixture. But ironically him being out might force Neilson’s hand to play a much tighter team and only go with Ginnelly and McKay ensuring we have that extra body in midfield. No bad thing in my opinion as if they are all available I just can’t see him leave one of them out. Whereas I can certainly see him playing 3 of Snodgrass, Grant, Devlin, Halliday or Kio if Shankland is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Gino fit for tomorrow, thank feck. Hope he lasts the majority of the game though as he's quite susceptible to wee knock. Key part of our side and we'll need another big performance from him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull's-eye Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 All about intensity for me. Don't think Snoddy and Baz work hard enough to be in the same team. Need to leave nothing on the pitch and try and ruffle them, they can be got at without encurring the inevitable cards. High intensity and play with zero care, make a mistake and win the ball back. We can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be giving the team full backing but sadly I only see one outcome & that's a fairly comfortable win for ceptic, I just don't see Neilson ever managing to instil in our team what it takes to beat either the OF. So you blame Neilson and ignore the gap in quality. Good one. We definitely have a chance tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous 1874 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 No Shanks is a disaster no doubt about it. We’ll play a back 3 no doubt. Clark Hill Rowles Kingsley Smith Kio Snoddy Cochrane Grant McKay Gino That’s my guess there. Devlin was murder at Parkhead. Hill seems to be preferred over Sibbick.

Rocky jamboa Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'd play with snodgrass, devlin and grant in midfield. Key is having extra bodies in midfield. Grant can push up to support when we're attacking. A sort of 451 when we're defending and 4231 when we're attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 We have all been looking at 11. We need massive energy for 90 mins. Assuming we are still in it at 60, we need to be able to swap like for like to maintain energy. Eg Koul for Gino a better match. Halliday for Kio. We should be telling a number to bust a gut for 60 and subs be able to do same for last 30. It was 60 and 84 we lost goals and both looked like we were tiring. They were flying the whole game even tho they didn’t sub til 70. That’s part of the difference in class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
