Widge Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 You know what I'm quite looking forward to this game now. We've had a weeks rest, scored 9 goals in 2 games and generally played alright (I get the opposition wasn't the best). All 3 strikers now have goals to their names and Spoony is looking in one of his form phases where he'll try outrageous things and sometimes they come off, he also has a lovely habit of scoring against Hamilton. I just wonder whether we go with a back 4 in this game now that Callum Booth is injury free. If that happens I suspect that Liam Gordon drops out. I also can't envisage Bryson playing on the plastic straight off the bat. If I were to chose the team I want it to be, it would be as followed - Clark McNamara - Kerr - Gordon - McCart - Booth Davidson - McCann Wotherspoon May - Hendry With Spoony given specific instructions to drift out left and cause an overload down that side, especially if McCart pushes up the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the team I would go with too, but expect that CD will have Conway in the team. Either a swap with Spoony or he'll take out Hendry. Imagine it will be Tanser rather than Booth. Confident, but we often seem to struggle against Hamilton. Think this will be a win but a very narrow one and a nil-nil is very much a possibility. Hamilton charging £15 for the stream BTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Swap Hendry with Kane and that's what I'd go with. Pity Melamed isn't available, canny wait to see what the wee man can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just win, don't care how. We miss chances while Hamilton are a scabby club who score from their only shot, so defeat seems inevitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'd personally go along with Widges team as well apart from I think Tanser played well against Celtic so doesn't deserve to be dropped. I agree with VB that Callum will play Conway though, and as a guess at the team he will start; Clark Kerr Gordon McCart McNamara Tanser Davidson McCann Conway Wotherspoon May It feels at last that there's a bit of a selection headache as there's a few options. Leaves a bench from a choice of Parish, Booth, Rooney, Bryson, Craig, O'Halloran, Hendry, Kane. All of which can do a job on their day. Plus the younger players. As RG says, three points is the target here, doesn't have to be pretty. After a positive week, another win here could really see us get a bit of momentum and hopefully start to climb the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Conway not starting. Looks to be one of the first choices of manager. And playing well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity Melamed isn't available, canny wait to see what the wee man can do. Think he's 'available' but won't have had much, if any, training time with the team as has quarantine's up tomorrow. Could be worth putting him on the bench. If we somehow end up 3 ahead with 10 to play, why not let the boy have a run around on a plastic carpet in the cold and rain and we've got 5 subs to use. Edit actually scratch that. He'd probably end up with a 'career threatener' and leave as a free agent next summer after 9 months of rehab.

Jamie_B Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'd play Widge's team, possibly with Tanser in for Booth. Really need to get the points from this one so hopefully we can take some confidence in front of goal from last week and get ahead early on... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salguodinmethven. Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Another 7 would be good, so I'm going for 2 all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Think the biggest issue playing Hamilton, as always, is that you've absolutely no idea how they'll set up their team/who is in their starting line up. There's an equal chance of them playing 3-5-2 with Templeton behind 2 target men, as there is of them playing 4-3-3 with a frontline of Callachan, Brian Easton and some ringer they signed 2 days ago and never told anyone about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hodson were a few inches taller he'd be good on the right of a back three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Oggy and Moyo are both shite. No goals for us today unless it’s a set piece or Temps doing temps things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Yeah I’m not overly concerned with Hamilton having 2 big guys up top, we should deal with that. It’s when teams run at us and try and get in behind quick we struggle a little more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon rarely steps up to challenge so you're relying a midfielder dropping deep. Await our line up with interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I really wish we'd just play two strikers instead of the 2 in-behind They both just make the same runs and get in each others way.

RandomGuy. Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Playing a CM 2, against Callachan, Martin, and Templeton, seems like absolute madness. Horrific feeling Templeton will get the run of the place between our defence and midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
