TxRover Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 26 minutes ago, SirJimmyofNic said: It wasn't a slight on you, but Murray isn't going to weaken an already weak defence by playing two young lads Masson and Corr together when they both haven't had game time in gawd knows how long, big question mark over Dabrowski being recovered, but an able replacement in McNeil. We're more likely to see McNeil Masson, Brown, Dick, McGill, as the backline if Murray isn't fit, but sure its anyones guess as to what the manager comes up with. If you “want” that sort of line, IM seems to prefer Corr to Masson…I’d suggest Brown/Corr/Dick/McGill instead. Corr prefers playing on the right, and Brown has the ability to play a RB role. With Byrne and Matthews in front for a 4-2-3-1, and Turner getting an opportunity at some point in the middle of the 3, that may be our plan. Honestly, I think Masson at RB would only happen from IM with Brown at CB on that side…why, I’m not sure, I certainly believe IM has criminally underused both Corr and Masson, who have both played fine in limited exposure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't argue that point Tx, whichever one of Masson or Corr gets a start, unless of course theres a CB signing before Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael Rover Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 New manager bounce? Manager of the month loses next match hoodoo? Personally I think this is the day we break our only win league games by one goal streak and come through comfortably by a couple of goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryBumpkin Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 This game depends on who's in our defence. The less makeshift it is, the better we should do. Hoping that Queens at least have another week or so before they take what Davidson has to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Dabrowski/ mcneil dick Murray Watson brown Byrne mullin turner easton Vaughan Hamilton is how I think we could line up tomorrow with brown at rb and Byrne as the 1 holding midfielder. Easton may lose his spot to smith also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easton may lose his spot to smith also. Problems: Murray, is he good to go…Watson, is he capable of 60+ minutes? Not adamantly opposed to Brown at RB, but think Masson makes more sense, so I’d go: McNeil Masson/Brown/Murray or Watson, whomever is healthier/Dick Byrne Mullin/Matthews/Smith Hamilton/Vaughan Probably plan to feed Turner in at the half for Matthews. I just think it’s too early for him to roll straight in and start at such an integral role right now. If both Murray and Watson are considered good to start, move Brown alongside Byrne and drop Smith with Vaughan taking his spot in a 4-2-3-1. Then, after the half, if you have to take off Watson or Murray, Brown slides back, Matthews drops into his spot and Turner takes the de facto 10 spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Tactics are straight forward here. Score a goal. Pass it to death for the rest of the game until five minutes to go and then put everyone in goal. Easy peasy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, if we find ourselves in that position again Davidson seems like the type of manager who would use his eyes and common sense, rather than arbitrarily take our best players off while ahead because the "data" says their performance will drop after the 84th minute or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Dunno if Dabrowski fir. If he is then he starts, if not then McNeil will deputise. At the back, If Murray is fit then I would play Masson at right back, this gives us the option of pushing Brown forward and going to a back 3. If Murray not fir then I would play Corr in the middle with Matthews at right back. This gives us the option of pushing Matthews forward and going to a back 3. I would push Vaughan up top with Hamilton and play Turner in the 10. I'd start Connolly and Mullin as they offer the best protection to our full backs which is where I think QP have the most threat. This will give us the options of Easton, Smith and Gullan from the bench. These three can bring pace and penetration in the latter stages where I think this game will be won/ lost. Looking forward to a nailbiting 95th minute winner MacNeil/ Dabrowski Masson/Matthews Brown Murray/Corr Dick Byrne Connolly Turner Mullin Hamilton Vaughan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanJM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I've seen quite a few suggesting Masson at RB now. Not having a dig at anyone for this btw but genuinely curious about where this is coming from. I don't recall him playing there but happy to be told I'm wrong. Does he offer enough going forward to play there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Masson has filled in at RB before. He played against Rangers there in the Scottish Cup and Queens Park in the challenge cup. He also played as either a wing back or as the right sided CB against Dundee once but we won't talk about that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerieA Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Not got a clue about the back line for Raith tomorrow.If everyone is fit then Kev Brown Watson Murray Dick Byrne Ahead of that is the usual Raith attacking lottery. But for tomorrow I’ll go with Mullin Turner Easton Vaughan Hamilton Return to the 4-1-3-2 I reckon. Think a week off will have done Easton a world of good- was close to dropping him. Turner has to go straight in. Always 50/50 with Mullin and Connolly but think Murray normally goes for Mullin. Hamilton and Vaughan our best front 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
