GeorgeStreetReds Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 8 minutes ago, Tord31 said: I'd go Morris and Duk with the aim of stretching the play and having a wide man to receive the ball. Ok with any alternatives if Morris is not the best option but want a change from the five central midfielders central midfielding. Also, cant have every player starting every game and we are playing every midweek these days. If our best XI is the Clyde team then we'd want that at Tynecastle so would make sense to shuffle 2-3 here, no? Morris offers nothing though. Link to comment
slippers Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Is everyone confident we will go with a back 4 in this game? Link to comment

Baaaaa heid Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 16 minutes ago, slippers said: Is everyone confident we will go with a back 4 in this game? Hey may but like Friday when devlin or Mackenzie go forward it switches to a back 3 with shinne dropping back or either fullback moving more central during the attack Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'd play Polvara deeper alongside Barron and bring in Duk for Shinnie. Otherwise same again. Link to comment
Millerdon Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, GeorgeStreetReds said: I agree with this mostly, don't think Polvara was good at Clyde. Would consider trying McGarry again instead of McKenzie though. Duk should offer us much more from wide than we had last Friday night. Edit - Just noticed you had Morris starting, he is absolutely awful, no way should Clarkson be dropped for him. Someone said McGarrry is injured again? Link to comment

Heard through the grapevine that it's already been cemented as the formation going forward. Naturally will revert to scaredyball against the ugly sisters like. 1 Link to comment

All the ingredients for a thriller 😂 0-0 or 1-0 either way. It'll probably be an unchanged starting X1, but I’d bring in Jensen & Duk for Gartenmann & Shinnie. Roos. Devlin Ruby Jensen MacKenzie. Barron Polvara McGrath Clarkson Duk. Miovski I like this team. As for you tord, you can stick Morris up your hole. If you don't mind. Better there than on a football pitch. Safer. For the rest of us. 1 1 Link to comment
Rico1903 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1-4 win for the dons. Miovski hat-trick and the other in off Duk’s backside. It will happen. Link to comment

But if it is true, it's criminal he's written off the first half of the season on a system everyone knew wasn't working after the first few weeks of the season. Link to comment

I did reckon that he'd been told to get a grip by Cormack / Burrows / Gunn (Gunn - lol) when the fans were starting to have a go on social media again Link to comment

Hoofball Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 7 hours ago, zeroisgod76 said: Don't think Robson will be able to resist switching back to a back 5 for this one. He's had 2 games in a row with a back 4 and he won't be liking it. So 5 at the back, shockingly bad long ball tactics again and a 0-1 loss. He cannot return to his favoured back five after two wins in a row, fans will understandably go mental if he thinks a porous back five is the way to setup against St Johnstone Link to comment

Mackenzie was covering the whole left flank by himself 90% of the night. Levein would happily bog down the midfield and go for the win from a set piece. Duk from the start for me. Link to comment
Frank Grimes Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Have any St Johnstone fans tweeted yet indicating what bar they’ll be drinking in? Need to know which boozer to hurl bottles at before the game 1 Link to comment

I was sure he scored against Frankfurt and Paok too ... oh and an assist in the groups too ... It's weird to say I picked a game when I never. It's weird to attribute a quote to me that I never made. It's weird to suggest he played well in a game just because of an assist. I said he lacks composure in the final third. That comment was in relation to his overall play, nothing to do with Clyde. I also said he was poor against Clyde, like most of the team. This was in response to another poster who said they didn't see the Clyde game. Never once did I say he "doesn't contribute in the final third". You've made that up. If you're going to use quote marks then maybe learn how to use them. Point still stands, a couple of goals and assists this season doesn't mean he doesn't lack composure, does it? It's like saying Darren Mackie scored 50 goals for us, so he must be a natural born finisher. And as I said, I'm glad he's headed in the right direction, but let's not kid on he's excellent yet. By all means, have a different opinion to me, but don't try make out I said stuff I never to suit your argument. Debate like an adult instead. Apart from that, enjoy your day Blockhead. I'm out 1 1 Link to comment

Snelders Snottters 89 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Tomorrow in Perth is dry & sunny. No rain from 7am through to 10pm apparently. Can't see it being postponed. Though St Johnstones pitch is a joke. Link to comment
shooftahmooftah Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Roos has turned into a reporter now, stating we can get to 3 rd spot but warns of a key factor that could see it slip away. The key factor ROOS could be you letting the ball slip between your legs multiple times, and your ginger dummy sitting in the dugout. Link to comment
