strachanmcgheegoal Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I think he should play Shinnie and Tansey central for this one. Time for a wee rest for McLean. I'd also start Stewart on the right. Wright or GMS left with Shinnie behind May. The centre back lottery will be interesting. When everyone's fit I don't see a space for Shinnie (assuming Consi is LB) Tansey Christie and Ball especially if he's also shoehorning Maclean in there as well. Based on form/potential for form I think its Christie centrally, Shinnie as the terrier and either Ball if we need height and cover (arsecheeks) or Tansey if we're further up the field (everyone else). An on form hungry Maclean should be able to replace Tansey in that line up with presumably GMS May and Stewart up front. Unless you're thinking some radical 4-4-2 thing with May and <anyonebutroondawg> up front? And that's nothing against Rooney I just don't think his style and May's fit together. Link to comment

northernlights Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Harsh. Wright and GMS both created our best moments on Saturday. Thought Wright struggled. He was lacking support without a recognised FB behind him. Good player but not his day. Link to comment
CalgaryDon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Think we will win this won. The next three games should allow the team to gel a little before we go into the 'tougher' fixtures against The Rangers and Hibs. Stewart needs to start. I'd start May up top on his own rather than trying to accommodate Rooney. 2-0 Aberdeen (May and Tansey) Link to comment
DelMonte Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thought Wright struggled. He was lacking support without a recognised FB behind him. Good player but not his day.Aye he wasn't great but played the best cross of the match to find Logan for his chance. Link to comment
Guest RosemountRed Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm not convinced on GMS either, he wasn't even starting for Dundee United all the time when he went to Celtic. Link to comment

Presently Shinnie is undroppable, he's the most influential midfielder right now and the best left back at the club. If in the future there are better options at centre midfield then he drops to left back.A run of 2-3 games there and he'll be back to where he was a few seasons ago. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Sorry, didn't word that very well. I didn't mean to drop Shinnie I just meant that to keep him there AND play Ball/Tansey means we're dropping either Christie or Maclean or fucking about trying to accommodate them. as Quagmire said its either Ball or Tansey (or a with-it Maclean), Shinnie and Christie with three in front of that, from what I've seen preferably GMS May and Stewart. Can see Wright back-to-backing with GMS and Maclean/Tansy doing the same with Christie. Link to comment

Ha ha tbh we were meant to be corporate but missed out on that and the way the dates worked out for most of us being able to attend, this was the only game we all could manage. Yes, as its been so long since we've won, OJ! You know what I mean min, I hope the performance from Saturday doesn't affect them for Killie game. I mean I can't see anything other than a convincing win. Link to comment
