Looks a bit odd with three centre halfs plus two full backs and two wingers. Seems odd looks like 541 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17May Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Tommy lost us that game today i have to say, 541 formation ? Scandalous! Then he takes off matty kennedy, the only player who looked threatening for us. One of the worst saints performances I have ever seen!

St Johnstone nil. Sounds familiar. Thought the lineup was a bit negative when I saw it but that is the way Tommy does it. Killie have not had a great start of season struggled to get a draw to St Mirren & 2_0 down to lower division club before coming back to win 3_2. This would suggest they are not great defensively & we don't go at them by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint10 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 A bit worrying that Tommy was so worried about Killie with that formation. Need to play to our strengths and play Mcmillan and watt up front. Still say we need another striker Dobbie would be ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Really don't understand why folk go on about formations saying they are negative. Sorry but 3 at the back with wing backs is anything but negative just look at some of the teams that play that formation. First game of the season long long way to go. scott1982 and templeofsaints 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get we are wanting to wait for the right player and there is a longer game to be played, but when waiting starts costing points now, I get frustrated. Doubly so when its a position we have needed filled for circ 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Shocking second 45 minutes . Didn't deserve anything from the game. Tanser gave the ball away in what was meant to be a forward pass and seconds later we were 2 -0 down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have played 4 games & a couple of friendlies & have played a back 5. If Tommy knew,which he should, that Foster was banned he should have played Comrie in Forfar game . To put a guy that plays about 3 games a season up against ,on his day the best winger in Scotland is poor. By the way it wasn't a back 3 but a back 5 & worries about Jones may have been the reason.

Radford 72 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's hard to know what the intentions were with the formation but I doubt the manager wanted Wright and Kennedy camped 30 yards from our goal. It left Tony Watt completely isolated and without anyone willing to put their foot on the ball, it was just shelled up at him and kept coming back. We need a player in the mould of those that have been the basis of our best sides over the past two decades: Dasovic, Morris and Millar. I take no pleasure in saying this but Wotherspoon just won't do in there. If getting the right player means cutting him, Alston or Craig then so be it. Today was rotten but let's at least see where we are when the window closes and the new players are settled before going into full wallow mode.

Jenko82 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I didn't attend today and was a bit worried earlier this week when it became apparent that no one had figured out that Foster (who has been playing well of late) was suspended for today. The messing around with formation and personnel was merely blind panic that comrie was going to be given a 90 minute roasting by Jones, again. I would also argue that a new team that was gelling shouldn't be tinkered with like he could with older experienced squads of the past. The games gets filed away as a management team mess up. Anyway its not as if our seasons get measured against how we compete with the likes of Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
