Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Should be a decent game, Dundee got another away game at Pittodrie tomorrow, think our freshness will carry us through, was semi impressed with Dundee, but they look a bit vulnerable at the back still, not a low block team though by nature.

Skacelsid Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Although we have been getting away with it, we need to start games better. IMO. Our default tho is to contain and win it later (using the bench). It can be a hard watch but that's the way we will go, to be fair it has worked well for us especially away. The last three games have been a struggle, we were even cautious against Spartans and would like to see us being more positive from the kickoff, an early goal counts the same as a late one.

Gordon Kent Halkett Kingsley Sibbick Lembikisa Nieuwenhof Tait Cochrane Grant Vargas You've finally properly chucked it, dude!!! I'd be going with the team that started against Aberdeen but tweaking the midfield to get them higher up the pitch when we have the ball. Beni needs to play 10 yards higher up the pitch in possession. Only thing I'd maybe say is the lad Bakayoko is a unit, so would we maybe want Shanks against him?! That said, Kingsley dealt with Miovski just fine. Got away from him once and it was only cos Kingsley had to cover Barron when Beni was fouled.

The last three games have been a struggle, we were even cautious against Spartans and would like to see us being more positive from the kickoff, an early goal counts the same as a late one. I'm no sure its the plan mate!! Against Dundee and Ross Co, we actually started the better team, but if we don't get the breakthrough in the first 10 mins, we seem to lose a bit control. Dundee scored a very very good goal from one positional lapse and it changed the game. These are sliding doors moments. Aberdeen were the better team out the gate, right enough, but for all their bluster, they didn't really bother us. I think too much being made of it. We need to get the ball in the net is the thing. We've had quite a few games - St Johnstone at home and Livvy spring to mind which have ended up tight but we should have tucked them away having battered them early. Dundee are absolutely a decent side, who play good football and have threats, but what we saw last week is that their frailty lies in their defence. Play with wingers and our FBs bombing and we'll get in. Got to convert when we do, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5jambo1 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 4-2-3-1 worked well the last game and a half and gives us another attacking player on the pitch which is what a lot of us have been asking for. But…. 3-5-2 has worked very well and has probably been a big reason why our away form has been good. We look Solid, 3 in the middle of the park so we are not overran, and also a threat up front as someone has played close to/off Shankland. Seemed to have found a formation that works away from home Will be interesting to see what we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bickfest Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Is McCowan suspended for tomorrow or against us? Dundee have a tough few weeks ahead - 7 games in 29 days. That'll test their squad depth somewhat. Whilst they're a decent enough side, I don't see them catching Kilmarnock for 4th. we can pretty much ensure that on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'd be a lot at stake playing a non-OF team in the final. But then that said, I think we'd win!! The draw for the Scottish is interesting. Barring some real shocks, all the big teams will be in the quarters. Which could mean either all the big teams are in the semis, or that the draw means there are some big names removed at quarters stage and you could get an easier time in the semi.

That team, with what we'd have on the bench, should see off a tired Dundee side ... and they'll surely be jaded after two tough away fixtures? Let's hope that we do the biz both halves, for once. I'd be a happy laddie not to have to suffer another late blood-pressure increasing final 10 minutes. Plus, we really need to atone for this season's early fixture there as that gifted goal did for us. Ruined my journey home, so it did.
