Running out of defenders.

Hoban, Devlin & Leigh all out. 

Two options - keep back 3 & move McCrorie back like he did today or revert to a 4-2-3-1

Think he’ll keep 3-4-2-1

                     Lewis

      McCrorie Taylor Considine

Kennedy Ferguson Campbell Hayes

            Hedges McLennan

                       Main

I'd be tempted to go with Logan on the right hand side of a back 3. He's not too bad in the air for his size and he's still got a bit of pace about him. If Hoban's hammy has gone right enough then it will be nearly February by the time we see him again. We lose McCrorie to suspension on Boxing Day anyway so we may as well get the defence used to what it is likely to be for the next few weeks (and just pray that neither Consi nor Taylor suffer an injury in the interim). Campbell did well when he came on so I'd keep him in. Kennedy did nothing of note so he drops out.

I'd go with that team for this one.

Kennedy did very well defensively today.

Logan/Taylor/Considine V Motherwell/Lang

 

oucha!

 

Can’t even Sub Taylor off at 3-0 down this time to ‘manage the game out’ as we have nothing to replace him

We're certainly a bit thin on the ground. Would be interesting to see just how many players need to be injured at the back before Hernandez gets a game. Would be good to see just how shite he is. 

When does McCrorie's suspension kick in? Imagine he'll drop in to defence and Campbell will play like second half today.

What was Hoban's injury yesterday. Is he definitely out for Motherwell? 

Hamstring and yes

EDIT...McCrorie's suspension kicks in on Boxing Day. I'm sure Ferguson's red card the other week also saw him crash through the points threshold for a suspension.....I think his will kick in the following match v Livi

And it means for the 3rd time in a row, when we play the scum in early January, we’ll be minus a load of players.

Aye we need centre back and attacking reinforcements anyway so hopefully have one or two lined up to come in when the window opens. 

Can we afford to spend MORE money on an inflated squad as it is? We aren’t getting inside Pittodrie any time soon, financially we can’t look too rosy?
