BishopLenBrennan Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 We have a bit of a dilemma here; if we sit as deep as we did in the second half against Partick then Ross County's midfield will dominate us in a way that Partick simply don't have the ability in their squad to do. If we push out higher than we did against Partick then Ross County can expose our defenders' inability to...erm...defend. If we had a credible out ball then the lack of midfield support would be less of an issue, but we can only piss with the cock we have for the moment. If we can address that balance between protecting the back four and not completely surrendering the midfield area then we have an outside chance. If we fail to do that then we could be looking at another pumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Johnstone is out injured and our new manager is a fan of trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your keeper could rush 25 yards off his line then allows one of our players to lob him, that would be grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll happily do a Cryuff turn or two for you, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Would definitely expect Tidser to come in for Lyon, but not so sure that Waddell will start after both our centre backs solid showing against Thistle. Similar kind of game expected for us, whereby we'll allow County to have a lot of the ball and expect to hit them on the break. This is a big game for Jim McAlister, he needs to be at his best in that defensive midfield role for us to have any chance in this game IMO.

TheGoon Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Back 5 for us (I think) and Michael Tidser is stuck on the bench. Not feeling confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below par because that moron in the dugout won’t play him where he actually impacts a game. The team should be built around Tidser every week.

Mackie The Staggie Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 With the game being on BBC Alba it's that mix of Gaelic with random English words thrown in......which still makes it more preferable than listening to Andy Walker on Sky.
