ALJAGS76 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Why is Mckenna not being mentioned, Am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 There are two different roles in that midfield. Jack, McGregor and McLean sit further back, Armstrong and McGinn will compete for the role that gets closer to the strikers. If need be, McGinn can drop back, but hopefully he doesn’t need to.Armstrong and mcginn wont be competing at all. Mcginn will play in the same position he has played in the last lot of games. Armstrong and christie will compete to replace ryan fraser up top. Armstrong i would imagine is favourite due to being more dynamic which is similar to ryan fraser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Why is Mckenna not being mentioned, Am I missing something?Depends if you're predicting the team you think will start or the team you want to start. I'd be quite surprised if McKenna isn't starting since Clarke picks him every match he's available. It's a tough call though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Shame we don't have a 6 foot 8 CB who would pick Mitrovic up and put him in his hip pocket. Is class on the ball too, and would allow McSauce to play midfield.Excellent use of McSauce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Is it just me or has the build up been somewhat muted? I'm getting nervous but confident. Whatever the starting 11 I think with Steve Clarke in charge you're pretty much going to get the same performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I think McKenna and O'Donnell will both start. They wouldn't be my choices but it's what I see Clarke going with. Think he'll go with Christie supporting Dykes but I'd much rather have Armstrong in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tough call though. Agreed don't be surprised when McKenna goes straight back in. Since Clarke took over McKenna has been his first choice at centre back and given how well he appears to be playing (@ForestForum) it would seem logical that he goes straight back in to the starting line up Tough as that may be, that's the way the cookie crumbles Edited November 10, 2020 by Sheep62 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wanting to play considine because he played well in the last two games. People wanting to play tiernay right wing back when he is essentially one footed. Only one of armstrong or christie will play in place of fraser. If tiernay plays it will be left centre back. Griffiths wont start. Neither will considine Spot on! Some of the shouts are ridiculous! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an inability to play a position he previously played (for years). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessies long lost ghost Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 If we go with 3 centre backs I would go Marshall McTominay, Cooper, Tierney, O'Donnell, Jack, McGregor, Robertson Armstrong McGinn Dykes If we go with 2 centre backs Marshall Tierney, Cooper, McKenna, Robertson McTominay, McGregor Armstrong McGinn Fraser Dykes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that when we went with three centre backs in the last games - good results on the pitch but to be honest quite painful and not really recommended (my cheese grater was getting a bit rusty so probably didnt do the smooth job I somehow anticipated) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 No chance Andy Robertson will be played on the right. Tierney might be but I highly doubt it. I’d be surprised if Tierney isn’t where you have Considine and Robertson where you have Tierney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumjob Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Marshall a stick on in goals. Robertso likewise at left back. Clark clearly likes how McTominay fits in at the back so suspect he'll stay. Gallagher has done nothing wrong and is the right sort to handle Mitrovic and we know Clark rates McKenna when fit so suspect that will be the back 3. Tierney is another that has to play so unless he's on the left of the back 3 at the expense of one of them above it will be at right wing back. O'Donnell can maybe feel unlucky given recent form. Midfield 3 likely to be Jack, McGinn and McGregor which looks reasonably balanced and not many alternatives. Dykes a fixture up top but Griffiths, Armstrong or Christie to play off him in Fraser's absence? I feel Armstrong is the nearest like for like so will go with him. Marshall Tierney, McTominay, Gallagher, McKenna, Robertson McGinn, Jack, McGregor Armstrong Dykes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Marshall McTominay Cooper TierneyO’Donnell. Robertson JackMcGregor Christie McGinn DykesCooper / McKenna / Gallagher any of the three at CB. Armstrong could be in instead of McGregor. McGinn and McGregor to drop back with Jack when defending. Tierney or McTominay will bring the ball out from the back with the other remaining back. Christie will be given a free pass to make runs and roam around the pitch like Frasier did last match to try and pull their defence out of position with Griffiths to come on in the second when he’s blowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
