Team to face Kilmarnock - must win game

[JamboPete]

After the shocking result against Dundee Utd, it is clear that there has to be personnel changes for what will be a difficult game on Saturday.

 

I think in all our home league games so far this season, we have been deserved winners, if we look at our away games however we have won 1 and lost 3, at Ibrox from what I saw I dont think we played that badly and was quite encouraged from some of our play, we deservedly won at Hamilton, at Falkirk from what I have rad and saw on TV again we were very unlucky to lose a game we should have won, then we move onto Dundee Utd and by all accounts we were very poor, but if we put this into perspective, that is 1 bad game in 7, not that bad a record, and we are still third in the SPL.

 

over the weekend I was thinking ahead to next Saturdays game and the changes that I would make.

 

GK - Kello - has done nothing wrong, so would keep him in place

 

RB - Zaliukas - Jonsson is suspended and Thomson IMO is not good enough, also I think Zal is more suited at RB than Karipidis as Zal likes to move forward and I think may do well in this role.

 

CB - Karipidis - has done not too bad in the midfield however he formed a good pairing with Berra at time last season.

 

CB - Berra - see above

 

LB - Lee Wallace - not the ideal LB but we are very short of options there just now.

 

RM - Kingston - I know he has been geting bad press from fans about work rate but he is probably our best outfield player on his day.

 

CM - Stewart - one of our best players this season, keeps his place.

 

CM - Palazuelos - deserves a chance in the side, had a few good performances last season.

 

LM - Miko - unless Driver is fit, Miko can do a job on the left.

 

ST - Nade - has to start, he must be fully fit by now and is probably our best striker IMO.

 

ST - Glen - a young player who came into the side at the end of last season and did very well, mole & ksanavicius have done pretty poorly overall, Glen IMO will give more effort and be more of a goal threat.

 

 

Thoughts & opinions are welcome.

I thought Jonsson was available for the next match. He didnt get a straight red card so its not an automatic suspension.

 

Elsewhere I would drop Kingston to the bench. Put Lee Wallace at left midfield, Mateij Rapnik at left back, play Chesny instead of Kingston at right midfield. The rest of your team I like.

No inside info but working on the fact that Nade isnt going to get any fitter,just sharper through playing matches,and that he linked up in a sort of fashion with Tullberg at dundee then I would like to think that Csaba will give it a go with 2 up,he keeps telling us he likes 4-4-2.

If the dwarf and Mole are playin then we can forget a win here. Surely he's gotta change it and put Tuborg up there wi either Fat go-Nads or Glen. Drop Zaliukas, stick the Greek in beside ball watcher Berra and plonk Ruben in front of the back 4. Hopefully Drivers fit and it's cheero to lazy Larry as well. We might actually get a result there.

Tullberg

 

Nade

 

Subs: Balogh, Karipidis, Wallace, Aguiar, Mrowiec, Mole, Glen

 

Wallace has not been playing great so far this season so would like to see Rapnik given a shot to see what he can do at LB. I'm sure Csaba also said that Tullberg is more likely to set up rather than score goals so I think he might do a decent job 'in the hole'. Karipidis played well in the first few games but I think it is time for Ruben to be given a shot beside Stewart.

Must go with a front 2 at home

[Only a Game]

I dont want to see Wallace in the team on saturday. He's been a nightmare all season and we're leaking goals through him. Anyone but Wallace. Surely we have someone who can cover. Rapnik is surely due a chance even though its probably not his natural position.

 

I dont want to see Kingston anywhere near our team again until he's looked up the meaning of "professional" and "commitment"

 

Karapidis is a decent player in my opinion and should play, just not in the role he has been playing. Move him to right back or shoehorn him into central defence and play Zal at right back.

Palazuelos or the Polish chappie for the holding role ( Not that I think we should be playing with a holder at home to Killie anyway)

 

I dont care much if we play one up front or two up front, but the creation of chances has to start coming no matter how many we're playing up front. I'd prefer Nade and Tullberg to start but even if your persisting with Mole for a while longer (please dont) we have to have some support for him or its a waste of a jersey.

 

Do something Csaba. Anything to shake things up a bit !!!

 

Going with the same team and tactics is simply not an option. You cannot be seen to be rewarding THAT performance by selecting the same failures again.

Must go with a front 2 at home

 

2 goalies will help with the clean sheet I imagine!!

 

Zaliukas has been better than Berra at CB so no point dropping him,and I am sure that Karapidis is only in the team to take the ball short from our captain as he struggles to pass the ball further than 8 feet!!

 

If I had someone else to play at left back Wallace would be dropped like a stone,perhaps Obua when fit will offer some competition(I know many want him in behind a striker but how many times has LW given the opposition an easy run in on goal??).

 

Nade and Glen up front would do a job,Glen is industrious and will last 90 minutes so when Nade tires Tullberg can come off the bench.

 

 

As for Larry K,I am afraid as much as I would drop him right now,he can make the difference in a game,however I would make it very clear to him that if he aint performing he will be hooked before halftime and replaced by teenie or tynie tiger!!

So, Killie on Saturday is a "must win game"!

 

Perhaps taking the view that EVERY game is a "must win game" might not be a bad idea.

So, Killie on Saturday is a "must win game"!

 

Perhaps taking the view that EVERY game is a "must win game" might not be a bad idea.

 

Indeed. Maybe we wouldn`t be in this situation if we had treated Falkirk and Utd games as "must win"!

 

You can`t win them all but we have developed a bad habit over the last two years of not tieing up points that would give us a bit of a stretch ahead of the rest.

 

How often have we looked at the league table and thought along the lines of " 3 points v StMidden today coupled with a Sheep defeat at Parkhead and we`ll go 6 ahead of them".......we then go on to be held to a draw or get a shock defeat and the trend continues at various points in the season.

 

It`s more the away games that are letting us down though but obviously a strong home record is vital too.

GK- KELLO- been solid, excellent signing
