Ludo*1 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Can't see Mellon playing up top on his own. Looks like a wee laddie up top so imagine he needs to be in a 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lalo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Cameron is easily one of the first names in my lineup tbh, think over the past few months he’s been outstanding, Him Beck and McCowan are different class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 You’ve got to feel for St Johnstone*. From the pinnacle of their season at half time last week, to now being 8 points behind us. Spoiler *Actually, you don’t. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portales does well in a back 3 not seen him in a back 4 yet. You’d drop Cameron, that’s a shock to put it mildly! I’d like to see the 3 behind Mellon be Mulligan, McCowan and Cameron. Think that would be awesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hearing strong rumours that the Caballero Golden Kingsway Crossing Statue complete with swinging testicle chariots planning application has been denied but a 600ft high Mo Sylla opaque diamond statue with titanium pubic hair to be used as a chairlift cable has been aapproved.

Free reminder Griffiths was also a wee laddie for his whole career and was solo up front for the best of it. Give it a go and if it doesn't work, change the shape. That's what all the screaming at the touchline is about right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that would be awesome. Big Joe has been one of our worst performers over the past few weeks and his pace causes issues which may come to a head at Easter Road. May sound out the blue but it's also true. Lamie and Donnelly are our strongest pairing with the four at the back IMO. 4 hours ago, Fifespud said: Boo.

You're absolutely right he has dipped in the past few weeks though. RE playing one up front, I'm not really against that as I don't think we have found a good striking partnership that has clicked yet but I think Bakayoko has to be one of the first on the team sheet. He really is love or hate for some reason but I think he adds so much to us as a team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Saturday Donnelly was constantly looking for him on Saturday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ones dropping Joe. Allowed a bad game or 2 giving the amount of games he’s played since mid January.

If I'm honest I saw him v St Mirren and thought that he could probably do with a game or two off. Not because of poor performances but just because he has been a mainstay and probably knackered. His importance to our defence can't be underestimated. Edited February 20 by Pens_Dark 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with there being no midweek games the last couple of weeks he’s resting up and ready to go on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not at the centre of everything defensively, simple as that, although as Spuddy alluded to he's a brilliant communicator and probably just what the likes of Donnelly and Beck need. He's been an important part of the squad this season and overall has contributed well. In a back three he's excelled in some matches whilst notching a few important goals which has raised his stock with the fans . In a back two he's struggled multiple times and St Johnstone taegetted him almost scoring on multiple occasions had they not been dugmeat. It's not that wild to suggest Lamie would perform better there in the two. Didn't ask for him to be dropped and as Captain it's not going to happen anyway. Just pointing out the facts and he's no colossus in the air don't know if I've missed that - he's just a very competent centre back (which is a great improvement on recent years). 49 minutes ago, Liam899 said: Joe is the first name on the team sheet.

Not sure how Joe will cope next season with league games every weekend and European travels and games mid week - or am I just getting ahead of myself? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not all. Our budget will hugely increase due to the money from the group stage of European football next season. We’ll have replacements for big Joe. It’s just where The Doc prioritises European or domestic football. Joe’s the 1st pick centrehalf either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
