Super_Ally 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I doubt Tam Buff will play as he's no left winger. If he was to play it would have to be in behind the lone striker, but he is far more attack minded than any other midfielder we have and whilst he may cause the opposition greater problems he would not provide the solidity in the midfield that Walter is after. With Tam Buff playing it would be more 4-2-2-1-1, like a variation on 4-4-1-1 e.g Alexander Whits Weir CC Papac Hemdani Dailly Davis_________Novo Buffel Cousin Rather than our traditional 4-5-1 of Alexander Whits Weir CC Papac Hemdani Dailly Davis Buffel Novo Cousin A slight difference but a difference none the less. We would have less players right in the engine room and even if Buffel played a more disciplined, deeper role he is not the same player as a Davis, a Thomson or a Fergie and would not help us to dominate this area (I know, we don't do this anyway). From a tactics and formation point of view and for what he brings to the game with his individual attributes I just cannot see Walter starting him. Personally I would in the "4-2-2-1-1" type formation I suggest above. :box: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Are we really that confident that we can go with a 4-2-2-1 and play with just 9 outfield players from the start ? :devil: :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Not team news but the full game will be shown on STV\ITV. It will also be streamed on the STV website for those who can't get to a telly. As usual it probably won't be available outside the UK though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 We are down to the bare bones. I agree with SA there maybe a chance Novo starts on the left. Is there a chance in Furman or Faye even coming into the thoughts to pack up the midfield?? For me its the same as SA: ___________________Alexander____________________ Whittaker_____Weir__________Carlos__________Papac ____________Hemdani_______Dailly________________ _____Davis___________Buffel____________Novo_____ ____________________Cousin_____________________ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wija 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I would like to see something like this. Cousin is defo bench material. He just doesn't do any chasing/running. Darch and Novo for 70 minutes at least will chase them down, and then the other to come on for the last 20. If needed bring Cousin in but TBH I would rather not have him in. ___________________Alexander____________________ Broadfoot_____Weir__________Carlos__________Papac ____________Hemdani_______Dailly________________ _____Davis___________Buffel____________Whittaker_____ ____________________Novo/Darch_____________________ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the other option is playing several players out of position, many of whom will not be the standard solid midfielders Walter likes to pack his midfield with. Instead we'll have wide/winger types and strikers playing out of position. With a squad decimated due to injury and suspension, the central midfield and left midfield positions particularly of concern, then whatever we do it will be a gamble and the gamble I would make is to play Buffel as the advanced central midfielder supporting the lone striker. Back in Eck's last season it was mainly due to Buffel's intelligent play that Lovenkrands looked so good in Europe. Maybe this sort of game would suit him. As I stated from the beginning though, best he can hope for is the bench. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
