Meeniedee Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 if marshall is fit he plays and fontaine will go into center half and let mcghee move into central midfield at the expense of anderson...the rest stay the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) If Marshall is fit he should be straight back into the side. You don't leave out your natural left-sided fullback for a right-footed player who can't even get in the side at his natural position. I don't care how well Kerr played against Raith or QoS, he's played left-back before and looked utterly hopeless, including the game in which Marshall was injured and everything down the left side completely ground to a halt as soon as Kerr came on. McDaid was left running around trying to beat two men with no support at all every single time the ball came to him. The fact Cammy happened to have a couple of decent games at the position doesn't outweigh the rest of the times he's played there and looked utterly lost. Oh, and even if McGhee is fully fit (I'm not convinced he is, he certainly hasn't looked match-sharp) I'd still be tempted to play Anderson in midfield ahead of him if we are playing 4-4-2. McGhee did well playing in a three, but he didn't do much in his comeback game when we played 4-4-2, whereas Anderson has been scoring regularly and seems to play the box-to-box role in that formation to a tee. Fair enough if McPake is reverting back to 4-3-3, then I'd play McGhee. To be honest, I'm not sure we actually do really play a 4-4-2 even when the team line suggests it, because it usually involves playing Mullen and he drops deep constantly, meaning we're more akin to a 4-2-3-1. I think McPake's more keen on the genuine 4-3-3 we played when we beat Hearts at Dens, and if that means it keeps Mullen out of the side then I hope that's what he goes with in the playoffs. I think Byrne, McGowan, McGhee, McDaid, Cummings, McMullan is a better side than McGowan, Anderson, McDaid, McMullan, Mullen, Cummings at least. Charlie Adam hasn't looked the same since Covid, so I wouldn't start him, but he's a great option to have on the bench.

DieDee Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I think some may need reminding that after some pretty poor performances from Elliot, Kerr was back in the side. When Marshall got injured Kerr moved to left back and Elliot came on. Kerr should not be dropped, particularly after his recent performances, and Marshall in his natural left back position is the way to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDee1893 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Bring Marshall back and move Cammy to RB. He may be limited but at least he attempts to tackle. Elliot is beaten to easily and has flogged too many goals already this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee-FC92 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Raith our first hurdle to pass then. Dunfermline missed chance after chance in them two legs - we should be confident. A team with Davidson and Benedictus at the back shouldn't be striking fear into us. Get the job done Dundee. As a side note Montrose beating Morten is a lovely wee bonus in the relegation first leg and if the DABs remain behind in the second half ill certainly be enjoying a cold one tonight. Roll on Wednesday. Thank you. Edited May 8, 2021 by Dundee-FC92 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Aye, for the Championship and L1 play-offs it's 11th vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd, then winners play in the final. As it should be, not this stupid stepladder version we have to take part in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Get in Rovers always good to beat the Pars. Dundee are nothing to fear. Head to head this season we've come out on top, however they are the form team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Davo could be just fine. Looking forward to a couple of interesting matches, and wondering how Mcpake will play this? Surely there has to be a way to screw up he hasn't used yet this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
