It’s pointless calling up wingers if we aren’t going to use a formation that would use them. Christie and Fraser have been called up for the Denmark game, obviously. Christie can play in behind the strikers and in centre midfield and Fraser can play at wing back and also behind the striker. Again you totally miss the point about subs giving a option to change the system if it doesn't work Dembele can play up front sometimes even in his own in games,strange he hasn't been called in and is having as good a season as Brown like wise the same with Johnny Russell who is on fire just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Jacob Brown can play on the wing. I wouldn’t expect we’ll use him there, because we don’t play with wingers, but he can play there. He’s also scored more and got more assists than Dembele, plays for a far better side, and has significantly more experience at Championship level despite being younger, so those are probably factors in why he got called up ahead of Dembele. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might. I think the wee tweak could be going to a 3-4-3 rather than a 3-5-2. The front three might have someone playing wide on the right to double up with the wing back the way Tierney and Robertson double up on the left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown will start through the middle with Adams when they burn themselves outvthe only other natural striking option is Nesbet that is a terrible state off affairs unprofessional even Brown has one more goal and three assists more than Dembele and as you say playing with better players around him Just imagine what he could do in a much better side?

Big Zander Clark is 6"3, very physical and strong and is regularly seen holding onto the ball every game. Also known for causing havoc in the oppositions box leading to important goals. Get big Zander up front David James circa 2005 style for an aerial bombardment the likes of which the world hasnt seen since WWII. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you meant was: Brown is likely to start through the middle with Adams. Both are incredibly fit athletes each capable of lasting 90 minutes but in case we need a change, the only other natural striking option is Nisbet. That isnt an ideal state of affairs, a bit risky even. But its fucking Moldova and 3 striking options and goalscoring options in midfield like McGinn, Turnbull and Armstrong should be more than enough to beat fucking Moldova. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one game. Against Moldova. Dykes is out but we have three options upfront which should be enough to beat Moldova. If one or more of our strikers get injured we can call up others. We can also play with one upfront and Turnbull, Ferguson or McGinn would do a good job behind them. McTominay has played up front before for Man U as a target man and will almost certainly be good enough to body some Transnistrian jobbers if we want. Not much reason to drag along someone who wont get any game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a criminal state off affairs actually absolutely no attacking threats to come on and keep the shape if the two up front is working if ones injured when we have made the switch Also look at the recent subs its always a striker that gets the hook,so really bit strange that you would even try to pick me up on something as pedantic as that but each to there own Brown as Adams are speed merchants who if there putting 100 per cent effort in from kick off one will get hooked maybe both if we are two up and he shuts up shop in the second half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we aye oh thanks for that absolute pearl of wisdom,nothing to worry about then Even though we been waiting days for a new attacker to come into the squad when Fraser pulled out Also Christie is suspended as well just in case you never knew that,so who we sending the SOS to Kenny McLean if the shapes working and that scenario happens? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we been waiting for days? Has anyone said "we're calling another striker up?". I think you mean you've been waiting for days. Everyone else realised we've called up a new striker, the three available strikers we have are enough, we have players who can play in forward positions and score goals from deeper, and if there are any more injuries we'll call up someone else if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case people really don't understand football then or who to prepare for situations that may arise in a game But that isn't really true read quite a few people saying we need to go with four natural strikers and they were clearly right Christie and Fraser aren't those guys there wingers wide players that is it Look at FI when Nisbet came on he looked natural when they ball came into the box with the runs he was making We been left short here with absolutely no plan B to change the game from a attacking perspective It's all about the Moldova game that is the game we need to win,do that the Denmark games irelivent apart from the conference boost if we did take something and maybe go up a couple of places in the rankings -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's yer plans B, C, D and E.

Absolutely no such thing as a minor tactical switch it either is or it isn't see that is when the team goes backwards when that happens,instead off just going with what is working and having like for like options on the bench and the wild card options if your looking for something totally different Aren't having that noncence -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
