If we’re missing 3 of our first choice back 4, along with being very on brand, it’s a massive hurdle to overcome. Probably looking at a back 4 of Tumilty, Nando, Musonda and err.. Dan Armstrong? Really need one of those struggling to make it.

 

That’s not taking into account our first choice and thus far very impressive centre forward being out. Can this just fucking stop it? Nae wonder John McGlynn is bald.

 

Listening to Paul, I'm pretty sure he expects to start with Tumilty/Davo/Bene/Musonda across the back. IF Tumilty is good for 90 minutes, that gives us Mendy to replace Davo or Bene at the half or after if they are having any concerns. My biggest fear is if we push Davo or Bene and lose them for several weeks.

If we lose Bene, Davo and KMac, we could always try...

JMac

Tumilty/Mendy/Musonda

Spencer/Hendry

Matthews/Tait/Armstrong

Loco/Ross

 

We lose a little pressure down the wngs, but Spencer and Hendry distributing forward might compensate. The real pisser is the bench...if we lose a defender at that point, its a lottery between Spencer and Armstrong as who you move back there.

Morton's travails on defense suggest we shoud net a couple, but our similar issues suggest we can't expect a clean sheet either. Saturdays likely to be a cooler day, hopefully everyone gets warmed up well before the game, we don't need any more tight hammy's!

Done a wee pre-match spiel here

It'll be a bit of a nightmare if we're missing all of MacDonald, Davidson and Benedictus as mentioned earlier. Musonda has been fine at left back but I'd expect Morton to cause issues on the wings. We might be left really short at the back and forced into a formation change.

Short at the back, formation change...Morton’s back line is a question mark...OK...

KMac

Mendy/Musonda

Matthews/Hendry/Spencer

Armstrong/Smith/Loco/Ross/Coulson

 

That’d certain provoke some reconsideration of Morton’s formation...plus when’s the last time we saw a 2-3-5?

Pretty sure we finished with a formation similar to that in Gary Locke's last game in charge (against Morton?) Mark Stewart ended up at wing back.

Who are you, Herbert Chapman? 

We'll play with a back four. 

Swap in Alex James for Smith and we're on to something.

Damn, just read Smith is probably out...maybe Arnott...why not.
