He’s been absolutely class the last few weeks probably our best player since he came back into the team and from what we’ve seen so far he’s a much better left back than Mackie. I’d also hope he keeps Oliver playing in the middle of the park. Really like what I’ve seen from him this season although it’s clear he’s not a striker but had his best game for us so far playing as a number 8 last week and more than deserved to keep his place. Suspect Henderson will come into midfield in the 'Hetherington' role. McGlynn will want Mackie to play so if Henderson doesn't move to midfield then think he'll push Mackie to LB and drop McCann which would be harsh. Of course he might have a stinker today and make McGlynns choice much easier come next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Anyone know why the floodlights were lit at 2am this morning? All along the main stand and the two free standing ones. Seems like a bit of a waste burning them unless emergency work was being done? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on Williamson's fitness though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment its 4 at the back with left and right back pushing forward leaving 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcglynn knows how he wants to play and it’s great we have a good manager that won’t chop and change formations!

JulioBairn Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 3 at the back is pish. Can we leave it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, at no time, said that McGlynn would play it, but I do think that it would get our best players on the pitch in their best positions.

latapythelegend Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I'm in the 3 at the back camp. We have a left back and a right back who are better attacking threats than defensive ones so utilising them as wing backs would be good. We also have an abundance of full backs when they are all actually fit. It won't happen but I would like to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you're meaning centre backs though? A back three of Donaldson, Henderson and Mackie would stroll through games IMO (assuming the formation suits them). I think four at the back lends itself more to having two defensive midfielders which aren't needed. Only my opinion of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Raith fans did say McGlynn would randomly throw in a back 3 at points with them. Can see the logic behind and with the squad makeup it looks plausible but as it stands I wouldn't change a formation that is working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes how very dare you have an opinion that’s different from mine , tbf your logic is right but Mcglynn won’t change things just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
