andrewh Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Nothing on this yet, and since someone has to... No idea what to expect from this. County seem a bit erratic, like ourselves. 2-1 Saints. More out of deluded hope than expectation. Always a tough game in Dingwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Will Tommy W change things up after the cup loss? I said before the last fixture that Swanson is the key man and he'd be dangerous anywhere, but that he'd be more dangerous from the left than up top. He was used up top that day, often running beyond MacLean, which didn't suit him at all. I am guessing from the line-up vs Thistle that it was a 4-4-2 with Swanson on the left. County use a man-marking system so someone like him is much more dangerous to them when coming in from the flank unnanounced rather than being tracked easily by a centre-back. I don't see the 4-2 in Perth happening again. Boyce was tremendous, but the other standouts were Burke and Routis and neither are playing just now. Maybe Routis will be back but he's missed the last couple; Burke hasn't been seen since that game due to illness. Boyce has spent more time being used anywhere other than his best position (behind a central striker) in the last seven games, mostly wide right or in central mid of a 4-3-3. County did start with the 4-4-1-1 against Aberdeen in the cup but quickly reverted when they were losing the midfield. I think McIntyre probably will go back to the 4-4-1-1. St Johnstone won comfortably in Dingwall and I am half-expecting the same again if I'm honest, based on not much more than Davidson always getting the better of Woods. However County do have new signings bedding in (left-winger Lalkovic, right-winger O'Brien, central midfielder Gobern) who might produce something unexpected.

Kyle Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 St Johnstone away rules apply here. Most likely will be 1-0 away win, or a comfortable home victory. I'd expect Alston to start on the right for Wotherspoon, possibly Paton in for Cummins or perhaps Millar. The rest of the team will be the same as last Saturday, barring any injuries.

Radford Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Paton is suspended on Saturday, then Liam Craig misses the Kilmarnock game. He'd have missed Dingwall too if the Celtic game hadn't been a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Kilmarnock losing against Aberdeen. Celtic crushing Motherwell. Hearts skelping ICT. Partick Thistle and Hamilton ending in stalemate.

RandomGuy. Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 You know what, with Boyce (based purely on highlights) looking like he's playing behind a striker, I'd be wanting someone to just sit on him all game. ClarkFoster - Ando - Joe - Easton Wotherspoon - Alston - Muzz - Millar - SwansonMacLean Not overly convinced with MacLean alone up front, but Wotherspoon, Alston and Swanson should all be able to get in support of him, and Alston seems to have a knack of getting into good positions on the edge of the box, would be interesting to see how he coped in a more central role.

Spain Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 0-1 [Fairly early goal for Saints] 1-1 [County work really hard to equalise but don't get it until the start of the second half] 1-2 [Saints instantly take the lead again] 1-3 [County labour for 20-30 mins before Saints saunter up the field through an over-committed County team to put the game to rest] That is today's script as St Johnstone take their usual 3 points from Dingwall.
