That said the game isn't generating much interest on here from either set of fans which is a bit surprising. Thats cos the Icey Teas are bored shitless of seeing their team draw, and we Arabs are scared shitless of another false dawn.... hence the overwhelming lack of commitment from both sets of fans. Might be more interest come 5pm tomorrow. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 We're powderpuff up front so if United score we'll struggle to get the three points. Wouldn't mind seeing Calder start after a couple of decent efforts from the subs bench. Walsh and Polworth and both far more suited to playing in the middle behind the striker but we obviously can't fit both in there so I wonder if Polworth could do a job alongside Welsh slightly further back. Ridgers Rooney Mckay Donaldson Tremarco Welsh Polworth Doran Walsh Calder Austin or White Would be great to see Donaldson bam up Yinited fans at full time again but I suspect that is a bit hopeful.

How the f**k have ICT managed to go undefeated thus far with that back five? I presume their collective effort is greater than the sum of their, frankly garbage, parts. That's mostly directed at Shaun Rooney and Coll Donaldson but I'm sure equally disparaging remarks have been directed at Brad McKay and the keeper in the past. Tremarco I've no opinion about. He might be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly remember him doing it one game, can’t remember the other. Some players certainly respond well to a change of team/regime. We are a very different team to last year and hopefully will look a different team to the one we would be if Laszlo was still here. We will know by 5pm today if we are different enough.

mishtergrolsch Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Im actually looking forward to the game today. First time in a long time ive immediately taken to a manager. Didnt really want McKinnon and didn't like Laszlo at any point. Didnt want McNamara, hated him as a player, and i would have preferred wed gone with McInnes at the time (Dont think hed have done as well with us as he has at Aberdeen mind you). I like the way Neilson seems to want to do the simple and basic stuff. Like attack and have a fit, hard working team which is well organised. On to today. No idea what the score will be now but if our best players are on form then I can see us winning. 442 at home i wonder? Watson Bouhenna Frans Robson Aird Fyvie Stanton. King Safranko McMullan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Safranko McMullan I’d have Booth ahead of Robson. Wasn’t at the Thistle game but I believe it was a 4-4-1-1 rather than a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-2. Might seem pedantic but if that’s what worked I wouldn’t change it despite being critical of that formation previously. McMullan playing just behind Safranko rather than right up beside him may be the best option as Safranko is the first player we have had since Ciftci who looks like he can hold the ball up and bring others into play. That’s crucial with genuine wide players, Stanton and Fyvie making runs from deeper and the possibility of overlapping fullbacks on occasion. I hope the players can bring the same energy to the game as they seemed to do in Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I still think on paper we're a couple of decent full backs away from being a good side. Now we have what appears to be a competent and effective manager in place hopefully the team can kick on and perform to its potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only went for Robson as he was the first left back out of the two that popped into my mind. 4411 is fine if its a pacey forward like McMullan but in my mind its a 442 with one wandering striker really. But i get what you mean. 1 hour ago, ArabianKnight said: I still think on paper we're a couple of decent full backs away from being a good side.

mishtergrolsch Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Could be two or three up here. Inverness's defence throwing themselves infront of everything and they're very agressive. Exactly how to do it at times. They're a solid team and if they had more up front we'd be struggling. The work our players are doing off the ball is incredible compared to Laszlos time here. Still see the problems of rubbish full backs and not enough up front at times with McMullan coming too deep. When hes further forward with Safranko we're getting alot more joy. We've been the better team the last 15 mins or so of the first half. Good game. Our keeper gives me the fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
