Highland Capital Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I've wondered for a while if a 4-4-2 diamond would suit us now. We seem very locked into the 4-2-3-1 again but I don't know if we've got the wingers to play that just now. Harper and Duffy seem reasonable enough going up and down the flanks but I wonder if four in central midfield would give us a better hold on the game. My thinking is have Welsh at the base of the diamond in-front of the back four, with Allardice and Carson either side and MacGregor (assuming Keatings is out) at the tip. Vincent seems to go in and out of games and I think we need Carson's grit in the middle. Storey and Sutherland both look more effective being played centrally, but in this system they could pull wide if needed.

It would give us a really strong and solid looking midfield and allow Storey and Sutherland to play in their favoured positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 We've 2 games about 3 months, in the middle of the football season. It's a good incentive for Hearts fans to give something back. It's not a like for like scenario with Heart's situation in 2013, as fans of clubs (weirdly a few Killie fans were in tears over it on Twitter) seem to think. Hearts have noticed Covid and the weather have killed our season stone dead, so they want to boost our coffers a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hopefully pre match we have a virtual hand holding ceremony as the Hearts fans and Caley fans join together and sing "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" in unison, before declaring a universal friendship between our two brethern clubs. Then the match starts and Shane Sutherland stamps on Craig Gordon's bollocks behind the refs back and we win with a dodgy last minute penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 We ran a similar scheme and raised around £10k from it the other week. We didn't make ourselves look like complete bitches in the process though.* *We're too busy doing that on the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 40 minutes ago, ICTChris said: We’ve signed Anthony McDonald. Happy with that signing. He looked impressive last time round for us and whilst not as good as Kai Kennedy he offers an attacking threat from the wide areas which we simply don't have just now. Doran prefers to check inside rather than hit the goal line for a cross, Storey runs in a straight line until he gets tackled and Sutherland is woefully ineffective on the flanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I'm pleased Anthony McDonald is back - he looked decent for us last time. Not quite as good as Kai Kennedy was but still probably better as a winger than what we've got. We could still do with at least one more body in though but apparently we don't have any more to spend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt say it was a problem. Its not a problem. Lets not take the piss though. Everyone with the slightest interest in Scottish football knows why Hearts fans are rallying round Inverness and it has not a single thing to do with Covid or the weather which are pretty irrelevant when games are closed door anyway If it was Queen of the South, or Raith Rovers, or Alloa, or, perish the thought, Dundee, very little would be incoming from Hearts fans who were largely threatening to boycott the rest of the division in the summer anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
