[compo 7,223]

Right lads given that it looks like we won’t have an out and out centre forward for this game who would you hope the manager picks and in what formation this situation is what separates good managers from bad managers, so let’s hear how you would set them up .

We've had quite a lot of problems recently but I think turning up a day late for a match would take the biscuit.

Might get a draw if we turn up a day late tho...

Rotate the front 3 throughout the game. 

 

Hagi and Arfield coming on as subs.

That front 3 right there tells us just how deep our striking problems are.....

What's the status with Colak? Still injured? Out of favour?

Exactly. At least they have mobility. Just not a lot of quality...

[D'Artagnan 173]

Really highights how deep rooted our lack of depth at squad level is. I wouldnt play Morelos and Sakala just infuriates me these days,  probably Wright up front  as he at least looked lively & interested against the sheep.

There is a fluidity about that front three.

 

The ball in behind should turn them because of the pace in the front three.

 

We are grabbing at straws because of the lack of first choice strikers. My worry is the 70-80 yard diagonals played from our own box, I do not see any of those three winning headers.

 

However, I remember a game against the Yahoos from '73 at ra Stydome. Parlane, Stein, Young, ... etc were all out. Wallace went with Alfie Conn and Graham Fyfe up front. We ran tham ragged and won 1-2.

 

I am hoping.

I'm hoping that the energy these 3 can bring can maintain a decent press. I still think Hart and Starfelt have mistakes in them when pressed.
