Mr November Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Fair play to Dean Ritchie if he still can’t get a game today. I think Hearts played Scott McGill at centre back for a bit in pre-season so I think he might start there beside Fordyce. I wouldn’t even be surprised to see a back three of McGill, Fordyce and McCabe. Not surprised to see Craig Watson’s one of them given his views on Twitter.

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Assuming the six mentioned are correct then the defence really is in bad shape. The match preview mentions Kerr still wasn't ready to return from injury so he wouldn't have been involved anyway but the rest really are a worry, especially with Lyons also out injured. If Currie McDonald S.McGill Fordyce Agnew Frizzell McCabe Easton Smith Gal G.McGill That's the best I can come up with. If McGill's played centre half before and the missing players mentioned above are correct then he's definitely in there. I've thrown Agnew at left back for no reason other than the fact that he is actually left footed but we've been told that McDonald can play either full back role and is good with both feet so it could be him over there and someone else at right back. Ritchie's played there before and Gal's played as a wing back for us in the past. I feel like Smith would put in a decent shift from a wing back kind of role as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I’d want to leave the midfield as is as much as possible and try and dominate the game from there. If we can ‘play on the front foot’ and hold on to possession as much as possible then ideally we can take a lot of pressure off of our makeshift defence. For that reason I’d be keeping McCabe in the midfield and going with a back 4 of Fordyce and McGill in the middle and McDonald and Ritchie at full-back. It’s not ideal at all but it’s probably as least makeshift as we’re going to get. I see we’ve just signed a midfielder on loan. I wonder if he can play at the back also though it’d be a big ask for a 17 year old to come in and play out of position in a makeshift defence. At the very least it’s another option off the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. McCabe looks capable of controlling games for us. If we remove him from that midfield we risk sitting in and inviting pressure on our makeshift defence. I'd also argue that being our deepest midfielder doesn't make him the one best suited to playing in defence. Better just sticking one of the taller lads capable of heading the ball away in there imo, which might be McGill tbh I can't remember perfectly but I'm sure he's looked quite tall on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Not really any surprises that it's McCabe and McGill getting the goals for us today. McCabe's been by far our best player so far this season and McGill's looked really prolific in front of goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Thornhill Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Well deserved 3 points but made it difficult for ourselves. Could have had 5 or 6. But not complaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondman Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Missed a goal ( 3rd) on the stream but it looked comfortable until the last 5. Good to have points at last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon 68 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 No complaints. Played off the park first half with our keeper keeping the score down. better second half from us, but ran out of time. Going to be a long season with our usual injuries and lack of personnel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
