theProdigy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I see Frazer Wright has left st Johnstone, could do with bringing him back for a season! Would rather have McGregor tbh but either would do... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig McCulloch Burley Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Marius Zaliukas is having a medical with killie I think Kilmarnock offer to McGregor and Wright than Kilmarnock let Barbour and Syme go look new club with Loan deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true about Zaliukas that's a ridiculous panic buy. We have 5 or 6 who can competently play at centre half but no right backs. Wright has gone to Dumbarton and Barbour and Syme can go permanently never mind on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue/white stripes Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nobody seems to be talking about the midfield problem. We need a holding central midfielder somebody in front of the back four and another to supply Boyd. It's one thing to having attacking midfielders, Kiltie, McKenzie and Higginbotham but we need someone who can tackle. We have got O'Hara but who else. Maybe Slater when fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know him and am sure he'd play the position... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The team should be a 4-3-3/4-5-1 in my opinion. You have a central midfield trio of Ohara, Splaine and Slater for example. Guys who can pass, are fit and agile and will run all day. Have Ohara as your sitting midfielder, he bridges the gap between defence and midfield that has been so obvious every game this season. You also have height from Splaine and Ohara. If injuries come then you can play Robinson when fit or Hamill. Your front 3 could then be 2 of Mckenzie/Tope/Higginbotham/Magennis/Kiltie/Johnston then Boyd up top. Locke is stuck in the dark ages of a flat 4-4-2. 2 CMs who get overrun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) We've been playing a 4-2-3-1 so far this season apart from Saturday. Was 4231 against County to the best of my understanding. McKenzie was in the hole with Magennis wide right and Higginbotham left. I suppose McKenzie is more of a forward than midfielder so I see where you're coming from.

Worked well didn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theProdigy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The team should be: McDonald; Westlake, Connolly, Ashcroft, Smith; Splaine, O'Hara, Slater; McKenzie, Boyd, Higginbotham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Our shape was better against Berwick. When we attacked we had 5 going forward and hamill sat deep, so when we lost the ball and they broke there was a bridge between midfield and defence. Better teams would've punished our sloppiness in first 10 tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Slater made a big difference, he's such a classy player and he barely wasted a pass. Boyd led the line really well too, his hold up play and flicks and passes round the corner were very good, and he could easily have had a hat-trick. I think the shape is much better with two natural wingers like McKenzie and Kiltie. It was also great to see us sticking Westlake in his strongest position - sitting on the bench doing f**k all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killienick Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Smith should've been there too. An utter liability. He has been all season. His defending is sub standard but his distribution is awful! Where is this great set piece taker we were promised? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
