Longridge was frustrating but exciting to watch in his first spell, a guy that’s able to create something and not afraid to take on a player and shoot. Good signing ray x

Pretty much this, we need that bit of magic. We should (hopefully) be dominating possession so it won't be as detrimental having a guy like LL who disappears in and out of games.

He should have been kept on last year too although more of a backup option.

Happy with this, let's get some backup defenders in and fill that subs bench!

How do we line up now with LL added to the mix? 
                               Sammon
 
McManus.           Telfer.             Longridge
 
                       Tidser.      Gomis
That's how I'd line up the middle of the park and up top. There's a stupid amount of players capable of assisting goals in our team. If we don't play like Barcelona and win the league by 50 points McKinnon should hang his head in shame [emoji16]

McManus is our best striker, he came here cause he wanted to play number 9 after being shunted out wide at Ross County.

McKinnon also said he can play anywhere up top including out wide.

'Can' and 'will' are different things. No idea why people seem to think we'll be playing with 1 up top either btw, very clear from pre-season that we'll be playing with 2 strikers and 1 in behind for league games at the very least

Longridge is a great signing, will be interesting to see if he's evidence of some of the Campbell money filtering through or if he's a replacement for Johnston

4231 easily changes into a 433 during games. Longridge and McManus can easily play a bit wider but still get in the 6 yard box. It's not rocket science.

It’s not rocket science but it’s bizarre to play your best striker and most likely goal threat in a position which he has been previously unhappy with.

I’m not opposed to him being up top on his own with the following midfield

Longridge Tidser Connolly

Gomis Telfer

Everyone goes on about Tidser in this number 10 role at Morton when McKinnon came in, would be tempted to try him there rather than his 2 in a diamond, but would swap him and Telfer.

However as McKinnon has been playing two up front would expect

Longridge Tidser Gomis Telfer

Either as that flat four from left to right or the diamond with Gomis at the base and Longridge at the tip.

Regardless of the above, wouldn’t be playing McManus out wide.
