In all seriousness, it's either Callum Patterson or call up someone new at this rate surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Callum Paterson all day He was fine when played there before for us The side should still be good enough to take 4 points McGregor Paterson Bates McKenna Robertson McGregor Armstrong Forrest Christie Mackay-Steven McBurnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The call offs and lack of subsequent call ups at the back, as craigkillie said above, really inhibits us. It means we’re either going to have to play a guy who is basically now a forward at RB (and lose him from the position where he has been very effectively lately at the EPL level) or play a 3-5-2 with three very inexperienced centre backs. If there’s an injury during the game either up front or in the back line, we’re fucked. If it just isn’t going well and we want to change it up, we have no flexibility. Plenty people scoffing at the idea of bringing in a Ricky Foster or a Jason Naismith (obviously as a Saints fan I’d point out that despite his reputation Foster has been in sensational form this season, and this last month in particular), but at least if there’s space in the squad bring someone in to sit on the bench as an option so that you’re not going to be left in a position of putting someone even less comfortable in to right back if it goes completely to pot. Don’t think anyone is suggesting throwing them straight in but give yourself the flexibility. I’d probably go: McgregorBates, Hendry, McKenna Forrest————————-RobertsonChristie, Armstrong, GMSPaterson, McBurnie That only really puts Robertson fractionally out of his best position which is about as good as it gets with the squad as it is. The back three gives me the fear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor Shinnie Bates McKenna Robertson Armstrong McTominay McGregor Forrest Paterson Fraser Amidst the seethe about right back I hadn’t realised the complete lack of proper midfielders in the squad. Top banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can run at defences and he can create space. I LOVE HIM! I also love having someone like Mackay-Steven available: another guy that is capable of creating space and making something out of nothing. I think we're one of the better shite teams on paper (toilet paper lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyPaul Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 That's a high-energy team we're fielding. Dominate the ball... couple of early goals then relax 2..3.. I like it? It's going to be exciting when they hit on the break... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Considering the call off's I quite like that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdiBairn Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Slim pickings for McLeish but the fact we're relying on a guy who couldn't make the Celtic bench until a few weeks ago in the no 10 position says it all for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastecoatwilly Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 A lot of inexperience in that team plus very attacking with forward thinking players will be an interesting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have faith in Christie. My folks are Celtic season ticket holders and have always been "meh" about Christie but I tried to convince them he'd come good based on just wee bits and bobs I'd seen of him. He can control the ball for one. He can pass and move... he can finish. I like him in that... he does the basics well, mostly. And he cares! LOVE HIM!

Nightmare Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 No idea how we’re going to line up with that personnel. Definitely very attacking, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
