MonehJags Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 You never know. We really need to up our game. Its Cathro's first home game in charge. They might still be a bit unsettled. It doesn't really matter about them though, we need to concentrate on ourselves first and foremost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 John Lambie Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Need to get Lawless back in the side to see if we can get some chances created. ...........................Cerny Gordon.....Barton.....Lindsay.....Booth .................Osman.....Edwards Amoo...............Erskine...........Lawless .........................Doolan I'd say this is our strongest starting XI, Bannigan & Dumbuya would come in if fit but this is our best XI on paper & should be given a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm in no great rush to see Amoo start. I thought he was rotten against Celtic and has shown very little this season, that he is worth keeping his place. The move that saw Gordon booked against celtic just typified that.

As I said on the other thread I would give Amoo a go up front. Falls out the game too easily out wide but he could do a decent job up front with his pace and he is good in the air.

Falls out the game too easily out wide but he could do a decent job up front with his pace and he is good in the air. If you don't buy a ticket...... Take your point. Archie's already played him thru the middle on a couple of occasions this season albeit as a late substitute. Think tho' he'd realistically only play up front in a partnership with Doolan (in a 3-5-2) or at a push with Erskine or Lawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonehJags Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 He can certainly strike the ball better than azeez although I agree with PT, he hasn't kicked on as much as we all would have hoped this season. Maybe a run of games would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Amoo had a fantastic game away at Kilmarnock but appeared to drift after that, apart from his brilliant cameo against St Johnstone. He seems a really nice guy, but lacking that edge of confidence and even that wee streak of selfishness that often breeds success. I would like him to make aiming towards the goal, cutting in to shoot and score his main option, with going wide to cross a default, rather than the other way about as seems to be the case for him. He has in the past showed good hunger in the box to bury headers and scrambly loose balls. He should be going on to the pitch saying "I am going to score today" and back himself to do so.

This tho' is my problem with Amoo. He's shown nothing when on the rare occasion he's switched to the left. This is doubly annoying as often Lawless has to play out there, which is his third best position. It's unusual these days to have a winger that's not versatile and unfortunately Amoo is an exception to the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow & Redneck Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Not sure how we should line up. In my opinion we gave up on the 3 at the back and Doolan and Azeez up front formation too quickly. It saw us win two away games in a row, score more often and create more chances. Seems to be confined to the scrapheap already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry gaz Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 There most certainly has to be some change in tactics to previous matches against the top teams. .The Osman Welsh pairing is not working and we have options to change that. No use being good for 30 -40 mins and losing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not been a lot of chat about this. Not sure if it's a good time to meet them with a new manager in the first home game of his reign. Still I have a funny feeling we might just grab something out this game. 1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 ...........................Cerny Elliot.....Barton.....Lindsay.....Booth .................Osman.....Edwards Amoo...............Erskine...........Lawless .........................Doolan I'd take this line-up tomorrow.

Big Col Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yeah, let's go back to the 4231 formation that served us so well for the first quarter. A more attacking line up is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 4-2-3-1 is more attacking than the 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 we have played recently. Personally I'd go back to the 3-5-2 to try and stifle Hearts and get a foothold in the game. Cerny Gordon Barton Lyndsey Elliott Osman Welsh Edwards Booth Azeez Doolan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) What formation would you suggest, is more attacking? I said a more attacking line up. Amoo for example, hasn't done enough to merit a start. Having Dools isolated up front hasn't worked either. I would prefer us to have the shape that has been most effective and that's 352 with our 2 strikers on from the start.

JeanieD Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Personally think we could play a 4-6-0 formation as a tribute to tactical genius and Hearts Director of football (sic) Craig Levein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Agree with Jagfox about 4-2-3-1 being the most attacking of our usual formations. My problem with that (repeating myself from elsewhere) is if you play Amoo the contribution Lawless makes when forced out left is often minimal. I suspect we'll play the 3-5-2 partly due to our defensive woes but also such a short pitch probably benefits wingbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
