der Berliner 3,286 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Well, we still have to wait and see, of course ... McGregor Whittaker - Bougherra - Weir/CB - Papac Ortiz - Davis - Naismith - Wylde/Kerkar Jelavic - Lafferty ... with a lot to switch and change. Remember that we will not play that style (4-4-2) against each and every opponent. I would rule out midfield enforcers like Ness, McCulloch or Edu and something like 4-5-1 or a more attack-minded 3-5-2 at home against the likes of St.Mirren. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 or a more attack-minded 3-5-2 at home against the likes of St.Mirren. Still a fan of this formation if you have the players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,286 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Still a fan of this formation if you have the players. Of course, it needs a certain amount of backtracking, but when you have wingbacks-come-wingers, something like this should work against St. Mirren or the like ... e.g. McGregor Bougherra - Weir - Papac Ortiz - Davis - Ness - Naismith - Wylde Lafferty - Jelavic 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie RFC 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 After Steve Davis a priority would be to Gregg Wylde tied up on a longer term contract. Don't want another Danny Wilson type scenario 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Fixed that defence for you.....(in a dream world of course) Is Papac injured? Is that why our most consistent player is missing from your line-up? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie RFC 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Consistantly average merits a place ahead of better players? I agree with you Gribz. A good squad player but I would be looking for a better LB than Papac. He doesn't shut the ball down in the wide area quick enough and gets caught out of position quite a bit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,183 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I would like something along these lines: :sw: :cc: :kbartley: :sp: :jmo: :sd: :me: :sn: :nj: :kl: While I'd be just as comfortable with Bougherra and Weir in central defence (and perhaps McCulloch in centre midfield) the above pairing would be ideal in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Frankie, in a 4-4-2 id rather Bougherra at RB than Whittaker. Dont rate Whittaker much but after his contract signing its obvious he will be the first name on team sheet. In midfield, Edu would be behind Ness, Hutton and McCulloch in the pecking order. Is Ortiz a winger? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
