Tony Wonder Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 No Ozturk, no Kitchen, no games in 17 days so I'll go for 3-0 Hearts, Watt hat-trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 And no work permit yet for the big Norwegian/American laddie. Probably no Juanma either if there's any truth in the rumour that he's been training with the development squad. My guess is that it'll be Sammon up front with Watt in behind him - wouldn't be my choice, but that's my guess. Fully expect the Paterson to Celtic rumours to resurface later in the week. Something like: Hamilton Paterson - Souttar - Rossi - Rerrhas Walker - Buaben - Djoum - Nicholson Watt Sammon Subs: Noring, Smith, Cowie, Zanatta, Muirhead, Oshaniwa, Godinho We haven't played a game since we played Birkirkara, which is two full weeks - we 're going to get bent over here.

Tony Wonder Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think Watt will be up top and the middle of the park will be Buaben Cowie, Djoum and Walker in behind in the middle.

I've actually had it with Buaben now - he's been a 60/40 signing - ok most of the time - it's time he had the talk, so we can get someone in who can actually create something.

Hamilton Paterson Souttar Rossi Rherras Buaben Cowie Djoum Walker Watt Sammon I'd prefer that - harsh on Nicholson, mind, as he was the guy who showed most against Birkirkara. I'd also favour Muirhead over Sammon, who has shown very little so far, even if it is very early days - at least Muirhead has shown some desire, urgency, and hunger. For a guy who clearly has a bit off muscle, Sammon has no presence, and his movement is woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree with that. Gets caught dwelling on the ball too often for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - good to see someone composed enough to want to put his foot on the ball, but he's caught on it far too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Pumped in all likelihood. Would pick Nicholson, put Walker in behind Watt and play Buaben wide right with Cowie in beside Djoum if Kitchen doesn't make it. Sammon shouldn't start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Folk thinking we'll play more than one up top. The shitebags didn't do it against a Maltese pub team, so they certainly ain't going to do it against the rhats. It will be Sammon up top on his own getting the ball launched at him until Watt is given a wee runabout at the end when the game is over. It will be the usual park the bus and hope for a point nonsense that will see us savaged and lose by at least two. Fucking Buaben and Cowie in the centre but nope, we don't need improvements in there apparently. Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we have so many forwards and brought in nobody creative in the midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I don't think it's really a 'creative' midfielder we need. It's someone who can run with the ball and win the ball back quickly when we don't have it. Not saying someone who can make things happen wouldn't help but it's the lack of pace in the middle that's our biggest problem. Walker, Nicholson and Djoum can all make things happen.

paranoid android Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Not sure Djoum creates that much - he's more about getting on the end of things, supporting the forwards, etc, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djoum seems to struggle to find space when he plays next to Buaben who is too static. We need somebody who can get a foot on the ball and speed things up / switch play forward / offer movement and energy. Certainly more pace would help too.

I think Watt is quite pacey, and Johnsen is meant to be quite fast. Billy King is reasonably quick, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, tbf I'm not advocating dropping Nicholson, can just see us going for that for a bit solidity in the middle. Alternatively drop Sammon for Nicholson and get Walker and him around Watt to support.

paranoid android Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Ken - someone will have to drop out to make way for cloggers, and Sam is the most likely. The elephant in the room is Sammon - hardly anyone wants him to start, yet he's one of the players that is most likely to - unless we get clearance for Johnsen. Which would be nice.
