Lets keep it simple

[Gribz 788]

One thing Im hoping WS will do this weekend is keep the team selection simple. Play players in their natural positions and we may get the same result as the first OF game this season - thats the only time he has fielded XI in the correct position.

 

Last week against Hearts we had 5 of the outfield 10 out of position:

A Centre Half at RB

A 'who knows what McCulloch is' at centre half

A RB at LB

A Centre Mid at Right Mid

A Left back at Left Mid

 

This has to have an effect on the team and surely restricts players to produce their best on the park.

 

I cant stress enough how right WS got the it in 4-2 win at Parkhead, we tore them apart. I got excited when I saw the starting line up that day and just knew we would win.

 

Lets have more of the same tomorrow, I want 2 centre midfielders and 2 natural wide players with 2 strikers. I want to get 3 points tomorrow to see Rangers WIN the title rather than hope they drop points elsewhere.

 

7:30pm K/o for me, I'll get the carry out ready by 4pm :cheers:

So this is probably the situations WS has been dwelling on this week:

 

1) Keeper - Will he bring McGregor back? - Cant see it

 

2) RB - Dailly or Whittaker?

 

3) LB - If Papac doesnt make it does he switch Whittaker there or go with S Smith

 

4) RM - Does he keep Davis there or move him in 1 an play Novo?

 

5) Centre midfield - 2 or 3 players? Bring back Ferguson?

 

6) Left Mid - Winger like Aaron, Beasley, Novo? LB Smith? Fleck, McCulloch, Naismith or Lafferty??

 

7) Upfront - 1 or 2 strikers from Boyd / Velicka / Miller / Lafferty??

Whittaker will play LB so there goes your plan Gribz. No doubt we'll see McCulloch pushed into midfield to play the holding role.
