Our Midfield


Recommended Posts


any two from Jack, Flood and Robson - with Flood as the first pick.

 

Jack can additional games at right midfield and right back.

Robson can get additional games at left midfield and left back.

 

On the very rare occasion that every single player is fit then I'd hazard a guess it'll start as Flood and Robson in August but Flood and Jack as the season progresses.

 

Of course all three when we go 4-3-3 or 4-5-1

I'd be tempted to put Low in for Robson he was one of our best players end of last season deserves another shot

 

That's the thing, our midfield looks so much better now where we can even call on Low. Looked the part as you say, comfortable on the ball and not afraid to put in the challenges either

Would think Low will start many of the pre-season games if he graps his chance then it would certainly put cat among pigeons and maybe would see Robson left out or Jack having to start season at right back to get a game.

 

Was very impressed with low in last couple games

Would think it will be 4-4-2, which obviously leaves us with a problem of who to leave out when all are fit, but given our history, when are all fit?

 

Depends on how quickly Wylde settles in (if he comes) and whether Hayes ever finds some sort of form, but I'd have thought a midfield 4 of Wylde, Robson, Flood and Hayes would be first pick, with Jack slotting in at right back till injuries and suspensions dictate otherwise.

Why 4-4-2?

 

Hardly any Scottish sides play 4-4-2 these days. In fact hardly any sides anywhere play a traditional 4-4-2.

 

I'd assume some interpretation of 4-3-3, 4-5-1, 4-2-3-1 which are all very similar IMO.

 

Personally I think 4-2-3-1 is simplest as 2 players clearly understand they have a responsbility in deeper areas of the pitch and that gives more freedom to the others ahead of them.

Is Robson not exactly that type of player?

 

Of course, his set pieces are good and shoots powerfully from everywhere. But his main asset had always been his energy and abrasiveness, the main qualities which made me hate the cunt when he was at united.

 

He'll be the ball winner.

 

Midfield looks excellent. Defence and keeper concern me. Will Considine be back for season KO? If not, I'd like another centre half as Anderson was, painful as it is to admit, torture at times last season.

I honestly don't think Jack has signed his contract extension with a view to him playing RB again.

Yes he may do it in times of need eg injuries etc, but he'll be our regular starter in midfield.

The team will be built around him.
