I mean, technically we have 5 defenders even if Kerr/Brown/MOH are out. You've got the option of Rooney - Gordon - McCart - Booth - Tanser as people have suggested. FWIW, I wasn't even joking when I suggested we might see Murray Davidson as a centre back If he does wedge Wotherspoon in as a wing back, instead of just ditching the 5 at the back system, then my head will be completely detached until the sun burns out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to finding out. The meltdown from 2:10pm onwards tomorrow on all Saints related social media could be quite something! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Dare I say, Ali McCann could definitely play wingback. He’s got the engine and the tackling, defensive awareness..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthsaint1977 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 It's the final proof that the manager is willing to die on his 523 formation.Hope his master stroke works otherwise the natives will be very restless come 445pm ( or probably earlier) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Be lucky if the games on. Looks like United haven't bothered with covers and USH would need to work overtime to thaw out the pitch if it does stay at - 4 tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I've given Davidson the benefit of the doubt but if it's some weird experiment with the likes of Mccann at wing back he can take his tactics piss off back down south with it. This arrogance to stick with this tactic despite not only after only managing something like 4 games against ft sides in 5 months but also when you've got to shoehorn players into it is something else. Sticking with it isn't unwavering belief, it's idiocy. Edited January 8, 2021 by Mr Positive, sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 You would think that in any industry, a key aim for any manager is to assemble his team in a way that brings the best out of them. Although CD knew lots about our squad, from his very first interview he was speaking about this 5-2-3. Maybe he'd assessed things and believed that was the best option but even if he didn't, you have to say he got the players drilled into it pretty quickly. Clearly the signs of a good coach. But it hasn't brought results. The players are doing what is asked of them essentially and he's obviously happy with that but we haven't won enough games and I think we are looking less effective by the week. Maybe because teams are wising up to us but I suspect because the players are becoming a bit disheartened. He doesn't need to scrap the formation completely, it's been successful at times, but the lack of flexibility is alarming and now especially there is this suggestion he's going to stick with it tomorrow when it's going to involve a crazy team selection. It's going to be very interesting come 2:00pm tomorrow... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 What's the story with Melamed? The lad clearly isn't shite, he has a good scoring record at a level comparable with ours, so to only get a handful of appearances in the single digit minutes when you're scoring so few goals is bizarre. I remember him signing for St. Johnstone in the summer and thinking he was potentially a bit of a coup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even Callum Davidson. Last week, he said that he doesn't trust Melamed enough to give him a start due to our position in the league and the lack of bounce games. Yesterday, he described him as 'brilliant' and says he's going to try and fit him into his plans at some point in the next couple of weeks.
