CammyF 8,079 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Think Sterling will be a "Bassey" type signing. Will offer cover at RB and CB - looks like we'll be going to a back 3 - Sterling, Goldson and Soutar with Tav and Ridvan as wing backs. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, he doesn’t offer anything like the threat Tav does going forward, but he’s strong defensively and potentially a very good option for center-back cover. I see him as primarily as cover for CB - or even a first-choice CB. It'll be a back-three before he takes Tavernier's spot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,602 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 You often see fans excited about a back-three, yet they are the same that decry the use of two DMs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,320 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Oh no. Not a back three. What will they all do against spfl jobbers? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil's advocaat 1,541 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I've always liked a back 3 if you have guys who are willing and able to step out with the ball (Goldson springs to mind) as it usually pulls a midfielder out of position, giving you an option and space to build attacks. Otherwise it's shite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 5,329 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Formations are fluid not rigid we have played a back 3 at times this season more so at ibrox during games when lundstram has slotted back in. I wouldn’t get overly excited/upset about it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
