    I agree that Championship wingers tend to be a bit shit and would rather do without them, but Imrie has said often enough that he favours a 4-3-3.

    Maybe that could actually turn out to be more of a 4-3-1-2 with two centre forwards, one of whom drifts wide, with someone playing off them in a bit of a free role rather than actually having out and out wingers, then putting Muirhead or Garrity wide if you need to stretch a game at all. It'd definitely be easier to find one decent option to play in behind a front two than two wingers anyway.

    That ties with what Imrie said in a podcast a few months back where he stated his preference for a 433 system and emphasised that it would be without wingers. He also said that circumstances might mean he can't implement it in this coming season and may have to continue with 352 - 532.

    So, it isn’t an “absolute must-not-lose”, it’s actually an absolute “must win”?  Everything in your world is so black and white, you should be a Pars or Smurn fan……….          😁    (sits back and awaits inevitable rid dot - at least it’ll add a tiny bit of colour to your life   😜)

     

    Bet it’s a draw.

     

     

    Both of VT's highlighted comments were qualified with logical reasoning which everyone can read and understand.

    Everyone bar you apparently.

    McGlynn said that when We beat Raith, “corners, long throws and crosses, it’s not football”. Should we stop taking corner kicks and crossing the ball to avoid criticism? Also if Raith had a player who could launch a long throw like Strapp would they not use it in the last few minutes if they’re chasing a win? 

    It was 2-2.

    I suspect Imrie was heavily involved with coaching during his time with Hamilton so has some experience.

    Dougie Imrie was 1st team coach and head of professional programmes (?) at Livingston when he left to join Morton.

    Giving a rookie manager his 1st job at a struggling full time club was always a risk but looking at his career and commitment to the game, his coaching credentials and the fact he was willing to give up a good role at Livi to join Morton meant it was a risk worth taking (we had nothing to lose) and an easy sell to us fans.

    Seems we lucked out and found a gem, time will tell. After the absolutely horrendous football we've had inflicted on us over the last few years, I'd say we deserve nice things.

    You guys, however, are fucked.
