That said i would be starting Sod, Bjorgolffson, palmer Houlden and Said as we need to have more of a threat up top and some experience at the back, after Tuesday nights shambles. Yip definitely start with those players,as we passed the ball about 20 times around the Aberdeen defence to then cross it into 3 small strikers that Aberdeen lapped up all night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we don't see that tactic from our manager again. Don't know what he was thinking there. Aberdeen couldn't believe their luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Looks like Dundee have a bit of an injury curse going on? Reilly, wright, Murray, finnegan out and Hamilton is a big doubt for Saturday... good news ….. maybe? Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Murray, Robertson and Hay will likely miss out and the SFA has asked that Besir not be selected. All others could be fit. Best to ignore these pre match rumours. Ross Hardie has been appointed as referee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Might get laughed out of town but another possible line-up with the hope SOD is fit. Paulsen SOD. Jamie KL. Moormann Longelo Hodge/Fadinger. Lowry Said Vogt. Williams Seb/Thor I can just hear cries of "VOGT!!!" but on Tuesday he put in 2 cracking crosses and looked to take man on. His positional sense terrible but with SOD behind him it could help him. I think Fadinger could do with a rest, hodge was actually good until 2nd goal then head went down. I really like Williams and if fit I would like to see him and manny link up. Rcc , Sparrow and probably Kanga ( only here less than a month remember) I would start on bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't see him bringing in SOD - but I would like to see him back. I think you're along the right lines though @grizzlyg create some natural width and get players in their natural position. I'd also go for a similar shape and certainly better width up both flanks. Paulsen JKR Jamie KL. Moormann Williams Levit Fadinger. Lowry Sparrow. Longelo Seb This on assumption JT is injured. Subs - SOD for JKR Hodge for Levit of Fadinger Vogt for Sparrow RCC for Longelo Thor for Seb Kanga or Said for Lowry Also gives us the option to change shape mid game if we need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I’m intrigued to see how we set up on Saturday. As many have observed, there has been a clear considerable drop off in our principles from last season. No longer do we play with intensity, no longer does the player on the ball have multiple options and no longer do we work our balls off to regain possession. These were traits honed on the training pitch that I doubt can be replicated anytime soon. That being the case, one way of getting results, in the short term at least, would be to be less predictable. It might therefore be worth giving a back three a spin, particularly with how vulnerable we have looked when St Mirren, Rangers and Aberdeen repeatedly ran right through us.

joewarkfanclub Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Forgot JT went off injured on Tuesday. I also regularly forget that we have signed Dylan Levitt! Taking those two things into account and trying to inject a little more structure and discipline into our play, I think Id go with the following...... Paulsen SOD JKL Moorman Williams Levitt Fadinger Sparrow Lowry Longelo Palmer Houlden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very much in transition and it is going to take time. Tuesday was terrible but no reason why we can't bounce back and I am sure players will have a point to prove.

We need a stable 'old head' at the back to keep things organised. Also, I'm not sure what condition he'll be in but when's Mcginn back? McGinn was talking to my mate at the Stenny game and he was back to jogging then so hopefully be back sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking more for crosses into the box than anything else, given that seems to be our thing this season. I guess Vogt showed he could do that on Tuesday night. Just not sure we can trust him yet. But I suppose he needs to get the opportunity at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Good to here that Oscar, McGinn & Hendry are all back running and might be ready to rejoin squad training after the break. Obviously might still be a month or so away from playing, but is more light at the end of the injury tunnel. Is that just McGhee and Koutroumbis still out?

texanwellfan Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Maybe a month away but a good chunk is international break. So not missing as many games as they might have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose he needs to get the opportunity at some point. The manager must see something in Vogt, as he keeps playing him. With his back ground in developing young players I would go with him on this. Willy may just need some confidence fitness and game time to show what he's got. Remember what everyone said about Bair being useless at the start with us . I will go with what the manager thinks rather than a forum for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
