Dave Bus Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 With all the new signings this week and the speculation of a couple more coming, could expect to see the following lineup going into the start of the league season: Hladky Richardson Stewart Scales MacKenzie Barron McCrorie Besuijen Ronan Duncan Miovski Subs: Lewis, Bates, Ngwenya, Ramadani, Polvara, Hayes, Kennedy, Watkins, Ramirez The rest: Gallagher & McLennan (most likely to leave) Is this strong enough? 1 Link to comment

Either way, McCrorie will start. Link to comment
Eugenefani Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Haven’t seen Duncan play, is he ready to start games and make a big impact? Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Depends how quickly Ferguson can get himself away. Hopefully it's fairly quickly but I could easily see him having to wait until on or near to deadline day to get it. If he's still with us in early August it leaves Goodwin a bit of a dilemma, does he start him in our league matches or does he wrap him in cotton wool and leave him on the bench only to be used in emergency to ensure that as much as possible his injury risk is limited? I'm going to go for Hladcky/Lewis McCrorie Bates/Stewart Scales MacKenzie Ramandani Barron Besuijen Ferguson/Polvara Ronan/Hayes Miovski Subs ...Richardson, Kennedy, Watkins, Ramirez and the ones that don't start where I've put options. Where I've put 2 players in obviously some haven't signed as yet (and obv may not do its still guesswork at this point) but the players Ive put on the left hand side are the ones who I think will start matches if they join up or are still with us. In The Bates/Stewart situation I'm going with my gut that Bates will get the first crack at being RCH but fully get why others might think we haven't signed Stewart to be a back-up. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just focus on the players that are here at the moment.... Lewis McCrorie Stewart Scales Hayes Ferguson Barron Ramdani Besuijen Ramirez Miosvki I'll come back when we sell or buy anyone. I think the club will be gutted to miss out on the Norwegian. 6ft6 and his stats were pretty decent considering he was in a shit team, and having Miosvki in beside him on the left and Besuijen on the other side. We've got too many midfielders so if Ferguson is with us then McCrorie will almost certainly start the season in defence as its unlikely Barron or Ramadani will be benched. Plenty time though as I don't imagine we'll attempt a first XI until the Raith game at the earliest. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Left side still needs work as it's a real weakness. Mackenzie and Ngwenya should fight it out to be back up left back. Not sure either are currently equipped to be first choice. And we need a left winger so Hayes is back up. Hayes and Kennedy as the two left wing choices needs upgraded sharpish. A central attacking midfielder would be the next area to be sorted. Haven't had a decent one since Christie went back to Celtic. I'm pretty confident that Hladky will come in for Lewis. Can't see Ipswich being that difficult to deal with. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Goodwin said in his interview with Hunter that Barron would be playing further forward next season. Ramandani will be the holder in the middle of midfield. Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Ipswich apparently holding out for 100k on hladky, I thought he was frozen out, brass neck asking for a fee, 100k not an insignificant sum. I reckon tell them we’re not interested and the penny will drop that they’ll have pointless wages still on the books. Link to comment
Baaaaa heid Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Lewis Richardson Bates Stewart McKenzie Barron. Ramdani Mcorrie besuijen Hayes/Kennedy Ramirez/miosvki Not putting in fergie because I think He will be sold , Link to comment

Dandys1983 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Anyone think Miovski will play on the left of a from 3 with Bensuijen on the right and whether it's Ramirez or someone else in the middle, Miovski looks like he can use the ball I think him and Vicente would could cause havoc Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I think this formation would suit us well (if Richardson is any good and Ferguson goes) Lewis McCrorie Stewart Scales Richardson Barron Ramandani Hayes Besuijen Ramirez Miovski I know we won’t be playing this formation, Goodwin said we’ll be 4 at the back, but on paper it looks like it could work.

Macedonian and Hungarian pundits seem to think he is much better in the central striker role. Link to comment

But also TBF, it appears that they've been properly identified and the club's got them in - so well done there. I'm optimistic that Goodwin has a system in mind and a plan to get that system working correctly. Proof's in the pudding though Link to comment

I listened to a podcast the other day, where a Hungarian journalist was speaking about MTK. They were an absolute shambles last year - but Miovski still managed to score goals and stick out.
