Bairnardo Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Whilst I don't see Rennie changing from 3-5-2 it is still fun to try and shoehorn Morrison and Griffiths in there somewhere Mutch Williamson Watson Dixon McCann Morrison Telfer Jacobs Griffiths Dowds Kabia I wouldn't mess Dowds or Kabia about considering they have 6 goals in 8 and 3 goals in 4. Maintain that over a season and you're looking at 25+ each. We still have to get the midfield balance right and stop making individual errors at the back (and playing it out from the back no matter what), but those problems are nothing compared to what we were suffering under Sheerin We can absolutely play it out from the back. Just not to the exclusion of everything else, even when its clearly not right for the opponents of the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times when you should be playing out from the back when it actually makes sense. It really shouldn’t be the default and something we try and make work at all costs. If we’re getting pressed high up the park and there’s no obvious short pass on that won’t end up in trouble then there’s absolutely nothing wrong with going long particularly when we’ve got the likes of Dowds and Kabia up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 He really hasn't. That 4 4 2 would be fine but 100% swap kabia and Griffiths. No chance LG is going to play midfield relying on him to cover left back. He's there to score goals which is what he's good at. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Fwiw, Mutch in goal. A back 3 the includes Watson and Dixon. Il leave Rennie to call who is best between Mills, ATS and Mckay. Williamson and McCann at WB. Jacobs and Telfer in the middle with Kabia playing just in front of them, supporting Dowds and Griffiths. Unfortunate for Morrison but we are playing 3 at the back it seems. And on that basis, Morrison isnt a better option anywhere on the park than those who I have starting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caractacus Potts Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 It’s great to see the positivity on here and things changing behind the scenes at the club however I’m with Shadwell regarding Rennie. He has my support but there has been too many false dawns to proclaim him as the guy to take us back to the Championship. There’s been some good signs but the Cove game will really show us what progress has been made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hardly. He's played there plenty throughout his career ffs He might have played left of the 3 for Celtic a couple of times, probably more likely to play on the right though tbh, but I really don’t think he’s ever played a professional game on the left of a midfield 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hopefully Griffiths and a few others get some much needed minutes under their belts today. I'd like to see Mills given another chance as I didn't think he was bad in the Montrose game but Cove's obviously not the game to experiment. The final piece of the puzzle, for this season at least, is an energetic midfielder so hopefully we'll see one in before Cove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean Miller and ATS coming in. As has been said often enough, I think we need another midfielder in the centre to compliment Telfer and Jacobs with Williamson and McCann either side. That gives us Watson and Dixon and A.N. Other at the back (Mills probably). I also think that he won't play Griffiths from the start, at least in his early few games, as he still needs to get his fitness levels up. The thought of Dowds and Kabia wearing out defences before then giving them Griffiths to think about is quite appealing TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffiths like anyone else should have to earn his place in the team but if Dowds & Kabia continue to do well I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Kabia drop into the 10 or out wide left in order to fit Griffiths & possibly Morrison into the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
