Line up face Dundee


Craigieboy

Recommended Posts

depending on the injuries -- this will be a interesting selection from McCulloch  --after the events on Saturday and how the team seemed to look better only after he was forced to change the system due to the injury to Wilson 

Likes of Waters and Hawkshaw played well after many weeks of not getting utilised by LM -and should merit a place---

(though he may be tempted to include likes of Thomas , Boyd and S Smith if fit)

The players seemed very comfortable playing football on the deck on Saturday and caused Aberdeen (2nd best club in the country) a whole lot of problems. Why would LM want or need to change that? We, the supporters, were more than happy with the performance and application of the players after young Wilson's injury, so surely the same team will start on Saturday. Smith and Boyd shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11. I think LM is wise enough to know that.

Agreed. Surely...

-------------MacDonald---------------

-O'Donnell---Greer--Findlay---Waters

--Jones----Frizzell--Hawkshaw--Taylor

----------------McKenzie--------------------

-----------------Erwin------------------------

That side deserves a chance after the 2nd half last week, to see if they can replicate that form. Hopefully it has the makings of a settled side with Dicker and Kiltie to eventually come back in for possibly Frizzell and McKenzie. Keep the likes of Thomas and Burke on the bench to come on in the wide areas if and when required. Really need to get a settled back 4 as well, and, at the moment, that combination looks the best bet.

The trouble with the 'it worked last week' is that it doesn't factor in the opposition. Keeping out and counter attacking against Aberdeen is a very different prospect to being a home side on the front foot v Dundee. If McCulloch thinks that can do the business then fine but I hope we can adapt. I liked what Thomas did behind the striker v Celtic, would like to see him tried there.

                   MacDonald

O'Donnell  Greer  Findlay  Waters

Jones  Frizzell  Hawkshaw  Taylor

                     McKenzie          

                        Erwin          

Subs - Bell, Thomas, K.Boyd, Broadfoot, Brophy, Higgins, Smith/Wilson.

If Taylor, Frizzell & Hawkshaw can shut down their midfield then we should do ok, they have a fair bit of pace out wide so we will need a big shift from these 3 today.
