Betty Swallicks Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hedges and Wright with a good attacking understanding. Kennedy decent too yesterday and nice to see him switching wings during the game for a change. What a difference if you actually play attacking/creative players further up the park. 4-2-3-1 please from now on and we'll blow away most of the dross in the league. Link to comment

It wasn’t 4-2-3-1 yesterday though. It was 3-4-2-1 Link to comment

Guest Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Going forward with McGeouch fit I think a 4-3-3 is a decent option. McCrorie, Ferguson and McGeouch in a midfield 3 could be excellent, a blend of different players with different talents. Kennedy and hedges either flank tucking inside and linking, with full backs bombing on. Who knows. Link to comment

In the games against sevco, they were able to exploit the space between the midfield and defence a lot. Someone sitting would have helped nullify that to an extent. Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 On the plus side, Kennedy who has been a total fucking waste of space so far, appears to have finally realised that his job is to create and score goals. I'd still think it's highly unlikely that he'll turn into the player McInnes thinks is (he's 26 - he should have done it by now) but I guess there is a glimmer of hope. Link to comment

Ferguson has a brain to play further forward, and McCrorie can go box to box, has great energy etc. I think of McLean, Shinnie and Jack. Three different players entirely but it worked really well.

When defending, it was a 4 . Jonny dropped back & the back 3 shuffled over one. When we were attacking it was a 3. Link to comment

Hayes on the left, and I agree that there isn't an obvious choice for the RB but Hoban playing RCB has been excellent at overlapping when hedges cuts inside. He's clearly fit enough to do it.

Ferguson abd mcrorie bomb forward a lot. Which is good to see, but it leaves big gaps in front of the defence. Which consists of some bang average defenders Link to comment

I think you are forgetting Leigh, who absolutely "bombed on" in his first spell with us (when played at left back). If he isn't the quickest player at the club right now, he's certainly in the top 3. Naturally athletic ahem Link to comment

When McGeouch first came through as a youngster and was bouncing between Celtic and the Huns he was more of an attacking midfielder, a '10' even. When he went to Hibs he started as an attacking midfielder but then settled into a deeper role where's he's remained. Link to comment

But every team needs someone to keep it simple. He does the simple stuff well if you get my logic. Link to comment

Between injuries and covid interruption he's been fit and available for what, 4 weeks maybe? Link to comment

Within the squad there are enough good quality options to fit either formation aside from three positions. RB, CH and CF. I'd play Hayes at LB from here on in as long as he still has the legs to be able to bomb on as you say, Consi. Link to comment
