No_Problemo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 minute ago, D'Jaffo said: Me either but I think at a push he tries Tomlinson and Murphy as wing backs. That sounds utterly horrific, hopefully not! I feel like I’m being incredibly harsh on the young guys, but I really don’t see much in Tomlinson. He can run in a straight line if there is space in front of him, but anything outwith that is pretty horrendous. I didn’t see the Airdrie game though, so I don’t know if he offered a little more going forward there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda see him moving back to a full back role as he gets older anyway. Reads the game really well. I have no idea who else could play on the opposite side though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me based on the fact he dropped Syla for costing us the two goals against Raith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown spoke about making changes because we had three games in a week. Once McHugh came in and turned in the performance he did it was going to be hard to drop him. For me, I’d play all three of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’ll drop McGinty, ultimately Sanders has made individual errors too and we looked far more solid with Stanger next to McGinty. Course we do (we don't). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-ish Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Dropping McGinty would be an absolute heads gone moment. Had a mare on Saturday but who didn't to be honest. Tomlinson is young and could eventually be a good wing back but let's try that out in pre season friendlies or out on loan please. If we're dropping folk for not performing then Dempsey should be benched for McHugh and Syla. Get Chalmers back in, play the new LB with Stanger at RB. McKenzie and Bryden - Bench. Start Dowds and Willibooby together. Every games a cup final now. No time for pissing about experimenting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Dropping McGinty would be quite the statement. Not sure I like the idea of it. Nor Brown's whack-a-mole type team selection at this stage of the season. Surely what we need atm is a bit of stability and focus on doing the basics right.

Iain Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 It would be nice to have a player who could drop into a back three when play is in our defensive third and step up to make a three man midfield when we're further up the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Separately, I think the break before the next game will supersede any knee jerk decisions. I'd expect Brown to work on things over the next couple of weeks and pick the team based on how that goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 McGinty has been solid all season, if Brown drops him for one slack pass-back then I am hitting the panic button. When you are under constant pressure, players get physically and mentally tired. Playing 4231 means teams go through us like a doze of salts, playing McKenzie and Murphy means the full backs get more protection but it still causes problems. Id be more inclined to play three in the middle with Chalmers, Murphy and Dowds up front, so that the midfield is a 5 defending and 2 attacking with McHugh or Smith supporting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rb123 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Brown's not wrong with what he says If you think away back to his first game away to QP, that's probably the last league game where we've lost a league goal which hasn't been through an error... Dundee United at home Albinson gifted both goals. Airdrie we got skinned in RB area for first goal and then the second one Mutch could have probably done better. Then Raith Syla gives the ball away in midfield for both goals. Partick you had the goalie error at the first, Adeloye's goal i'm not sure if you could do much with tbf as the cross was a peach then you had the calamity own goal for the 3rd. Then Saturday there at Dunfermline Safe to say we're certainly getting punished just now for every mistake we make 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our squad is imbalanced and we just need to pick up enough points to see us over the line. I expect some games to be horrific viewing and the next week decent with little reason as to why. Analysis doesn't always help at the minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's the Scottish Championship. 95% of goals scored at this level will be at least partly attributable to a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
