A 3-4-3 would at least allow them to compress the space in the middle, given a less than experienced midfield. On the other hand, which of Poplatnik, Vaughan, Connolly or Zanatta misses out?

Could Berra cover CM spot and let McKay play alongside Bene. Or is that daft. Just thinking with Berra’s experience being key. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I could see: MacDonald McKay/Bene/Berra Tumilty/Tait/Arnott or Riley-Snow/Dick Connolly or Zanatta/Poplatnik/Vaughan The other option is Vaughan for Arnott/RS and playing AM plus Zanatta on the left wing for a 3-3-1-2-1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking with Berra’s experience being key. I doubt it. Gomis for Falkirk did that a couple of years ago, and was completely gassed by 50-60 minutes, and I don’t think Berra has the speed or turning ability that Gomis still had then. Tumilty, Dick or McKay at RM is a better compromise for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumilty, Dick or McKay at RM is a better compromise for that.He's played the vast majority of his career as a cb. He isn't the fastest and if we are playing a back 3 then his positional sense (Saturday after 65 minutes excluded) is second to none in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, exactly why Tumilty or McKay, who have played a little RM, or Dick, who is probably capable of LB or DM are the real choices. I guess we can toss Lang into the pot as well, but Bene and Berra are NOT options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Riley Snow looked well off the pace in his cameo on Saturday but apparently played well against Livingston. Some players struggle to get up to the pace of a game from the bench. I’d give him another go at Inverness. He’s only on a 6 month contract so if we can’t trust him to play for the next few weeks when we are down to the barebones in midfield, as the only natural replacement, you would have to question why he was signed at all. I think McGlynn’s seen enough in training to not write him off after one, admittedly bad, 10 minute sub appearance. If the Livingston version turns up he should be absolutely fine alongside Tait, particularly in a 3-4-3 to cover his lack of mobility IMO. If the Hamilton performance from him is the norm we are in huge trouble until Matthews/Spencer return but I’ll keep the faith for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Inverness is the time to play him. Well yea it is. We kinda have no choice. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the idea of Fotheringham playing deeper that report mentions isn’t meaning playing him in a DM role. Based off Saturday Fotheringham didn’t have much pace and even less strength, could see him getting utterly bullied if we tried playing him in a deeper midfield role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Seriously, give it a fucking rest with all this shite. The joy of P&B is that you can come on and just chat football and the Old Firm shite and political shite is in another forum where you never have to read it. If you want to rant about Sturgeon or how it’s all just gone too PC these days then f**k off elsewhere and give the rest of us peace. Huge blow losing Spencer. Can’t catch a break with these injuries. Edited August 4, 2021 by roverthemoon 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
