jimwhite Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ill bite. Stewart isnt a striker. So no probably not. I wasn't fishing. I don't follow Dundee closely. I'm sure he played as striker with Cowdenbeath though. And off Hemings up top at Dundee. Youl no more than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DensParkNumber1 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 id be surprised if its us he is at. We are doing just fine in attacking options , we really need a cm/cdm type of player and a winger that doesnt moan if hes on the bench. United have just signed a striker so it be a bit surprising if they sign him too unless some are offski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Murray and Bodul are offskis so we do actually need to bring in striking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Murray and Bodul are offskis so we do actually need to bring in striking options. Even if they stayed you'd still need to bring in striking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Murray and Bodul are offskis so we do actually need to bring in striking options. I'm not sure the second part requires the first. Edit: F*ck you KT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Wonder how Mixu will rate Muirhead. He certainly didn't really impress whilst at Partick and the current formation we play means he would have to dislodge McKay, which isn't really going to happen. I would like us to drop one attacking midfielder in favour of another striker, so it looks a little like a 5-2-1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinny arab Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 4-4-2 with McKay playing off a target man would be nice. With Spittal, Riski and Erskine we now potentially have the width to play this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like us to drop one attacking midfielder in favour of another striker, so it looks a little like a 5-2-1-2. Only legacy from McNamara that is positive is the 4-2-3-1. If you can encourage each of the three attacking midfielders to go beyond the lone striker when needed it's a better option that two up front IMO. However any manager must be clear about what formation he wants his team to play and bring in players to fit that formation. I know we've had a fairly big squad but many/most of the squad have been peripheral, youngsters or just poor (in some cases all three). A more streamlined squad will mean having a core of players that can fit into a particular system. This will be essential for budgetary reasons, particularly when where playing in the Championship.

The system we play just now doesn't really allow for anyone to get beyond the lone striker, which makes a two upfront a bit more substantial in terms of attacking threat (in theory). I like a good 4231, it is probably the most flexible formation you can have if you get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking in absolute terms you may have a point, if you're talking in relative terms I would disagree with you about Demel and Dixon; can't see many Arabs disagreeing about Durnan.

kevthedee Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 would like to see Spark get a run out when Dixon is suspended, to see if he's good enough since his contract is out at end of the season The only spark you boys will see is sparky ripping your defenders a new one.

Dixons been an abomination since he rejoined and Demel is so slow, its like he has an opened parachute attached. Whilst Demel looks technically decent, we need more energy in that midfield two of him and Ranks and at times they get overloaded as Demel doesnt do enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until the Derby, where he was awful, I thought Demel had been decent the games I'd seen him play. I also thought he needed time to bed in and get a it of match fitness. For me the jury is still out but if we're playing two defensive midfielders maybe Rankin and Paton is still the best partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
