the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's certainly the only place he should play after all our strikers are honking. That said I would drop him like a hot stone in a heartbeat 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 We've got Hardie, Clark and Miller, though the latter two are very much the same type of roving-all-over-the-place strikers. Hardie is more direct and should play no matter what, Gallagher probably remains outside the radar right now. Given that McCulloch is less mobile and sure a presence, you would expect him to stay up front and in or close to the area, which would be "a bonus". We haven't seen him up front for ages though, nearly two years now. 10 mins against Falkirk is sure no indication how he would perform away from home and at Tynecastle. Generally, I'd rather use Mohsni up there than McCulloch. More presence, can play football, is IMHO a greater threat in the opposition box and a better target man than any of the rest. I do asume that McCall will go 5-4-1 or 5-3-3 at Tynecastle though, and McCulloch retaining his place with McGregor to his right and Zaliukas to the left. It worked before. Moshni playing up front in a 5-3-3. Cuckoo! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,461 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I'd use neither. Put Calum Gallagher up there. This for me,alongside Hardie. Both are young,energetic with a point to prove and both score goals Edited May 1, 2015 by ian1964 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If McCulloch moved to the Channel Islands it would boost our promotion hopes. How anyone can continue to suggest that Jig should be playing at all is beyond me. It is now evident that McCulloch has something on paper that guarantees him a game; there can be no other reason why a liability that may cost us promotion is being played every week. The only advantage of playing him up front is that he can do less damage there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,307 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If McCulloch is put up front my biggest fear would be he'd get sent off for a flying elbow. He's too slow & immobile to play up front or at the back now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,302 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'd use neither. Put Calum Gallagher up there. Neither would I, see post 10. I have no doubt whatsoever that Lee will play in defence though. Should McCall do indeed bench the captain, I'd use Crawford as the right back, much like DJ suggests, as he is the only one at least somewhat able to play there right now, as Foster, Faure and Sinnamon are all ot injured or lacking fitness. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,322 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If McCulloch wants to help our promotion bid then he should sign a one game contract with Hearts for tomorrow, a two game contract for QotS, before moving on to Hibs and then Motherwell. If Jig played at CH in these games AGAINST Rangers, we would win comfortably. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5-3-3 looks like it would be tactically beneficial with that extra man! Edited May 1, 2015 by Rousseau 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
