Guest Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Houstons not one for taking risks, I can't see him starting away to Dumbarton. Possible if it was at home but can't see it in this fixture. Time will tell I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 From the limited amount of time I've seen him Leahy's distribution has been absolutely woeful at times, just lumping aimless balls straight up the park the majority of the time. I like him at full back and he's getting better defensively but it's like a man down attacking at times. Provided Gallacher can complete two passes it would be an improvement from an attacking point of view, which from what I've seen he is more than capable of. Limited time you have seen him? He has been at LB for two and a half seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 If I was Houston I'd probably drop Luca/McCracken, Craigen and Hippolyte for Grant, Taiwo and Henderson. Although it's unlikely Henderson will come in.Don't reckon there's much difference between which CB is dropped and you could argue the positive/negatives for both. With Craigen and Hippolyte I don't think either is a bad player, but you lose all structure and balance with a winger playing one side and No.10 the other. On limited viewing of the U20s Henderson looks like a left-sided version of Taiwo and the two of them would give a better balance imo. Wouldn't be against Gallagher coming in and if Shepherd is going to get a game I'd rather it was upfront than out wide. Drop Hyppolyte? Where exactly is any creativity and pace going to come from?

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Limited time you have seen him? He has been at LB for two and a half seasons I meant cause I've not been at as many games this season as I would have liked due to other commitments.

Guest Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I meant cause I've not been at as many games this season as I would have liked due to other commitments. He has certainly not been as good this season as last. However he is not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Anyone even thinking about dropping Hippo is seriously disturbed. Due to the others lacking any kind of form, he's the only creativity we really have at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Bairn Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The calls for Hippo to be dropped are hilarious he's set up 1 and scored 3 in his last 2 games. What more do you want from him? I actually think we rely on him too much attacking wise and he'll look much better when the team is more balanced when we sign a right sided player. I think if his head was screwed in and it didn't drop when things don't go for him, he wouldn't be playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more slow plodders like Craigen and Rankin in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Of all the players to focus on, our only real creative player isn't the one. You can see in the games when things aren't going right Hippo starts dropping back and playing all over the pitch to bring others into it. If we can get some creativity elsewhere aside from the long punts we've been seeing then the focus will hopefully drop from Hippo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 What doesn't help our crowds at Dumbarton is that more often than not the games are either on BBC Alba or are played in the run up to Xmas when crowds in general are low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelocalcat Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 What does everyone think of this for a midfield? Taiwo Kerr Sibbald Craigen Hippolyte I know it seems a bit daft but Sibbs would be half decent coming inside of the right and would give Lewis Kidd a bit of room to power up the right hand side.

sonsanorak Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Fraz and stanton back fit for us, no new injuries. Wonder then if fleming will be dropped with robbie t going up front with stanton coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good on paper. It's incredible that we still can't find the best place for Sibbald to play though. Swap Sibbald for craigen and get a new signing in on the right and that could be decent.

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Drop Hyppolyte? Where exactly is any creativity and pace going to come from? There's no deny he's a good player but how can you play a left winger with effectively nobody on the right? If we had any sort or right midfielder Hippolyte would be one of the first names on the team sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
