Have McCart and Sang ever played in those positions? Given that Booth and Gallagher are both injured, it's unavoidable that someone's going to have to play out of position. And I'd worry that a midfield two of Butterfield and Crawford would get completely overrun. I think Butterfield and Muzz on the pitch together works to an extent because Muzz needs a ball-player beside him and Butterfield needs a ball-winner beside him. But even then there needs to be a third midfielder with them who has a bit of attacking nous and mobility. That's what we saw work against Aberdeen. But to be honest we need younger, better versions of both of them. SaintJet, pezza70 and Strawman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Devine appeal turned down by 3 honest men. Wonder how much it costs to get 3 wise men together at short notice. Is this a sign of things to come with VAR as there was a lot of devided opinion on the sending off , so it's down to one man's opinion and , in Scotland will referees agree with their mates.

Pretty sure he was suggesting an alternative line-up for our previous game, not suggesting what the team should be for the Caley game.

Just look at how Hamilton's season has gone. You mention excitement but I'm finding it hard to expect any excitement to come from struggling in front of tiny crowds against Ayr and Morton. Anyone who thinks we'd walk straight into an exciting promotion season should maybe ask themselves how exactly a team that can't score goals, and is about to lose the few impactful players it has, is possibly going to achieve that. I really think going down would be disastrous for us and somehow finding a way to beat Caley is absolutely vital to this club. john.w, Shaggy Jenkins, Coltrane and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the drop will see us on struggle st next season, Dundee are straight down again and will be in for a fight to come back up on the rebound. This team doesn’t have a Roddy or O’Boyle who will knock in 20 goals next season in Div 1 and more then likely won’t find one via free agency or the window, our best chance to attract better then what we have at present is to stay up in the top flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an answer to a statement earlier how CD plays players out of position to preserve his 3 at the back and wingbacks. It was a suggestion of how we could have finished the Hibs game rather than Rooney centre back and MOH left wing back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJet Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I hope the players were watching Rangers crash on penalties last night; we can't afford the prospect of that scenario. Our players nerves would be shot not to mention the fans. I'm convinced if we go out and play like a premier league team we'll handle this game.

I'd take Ayr or Morton rather than 7-0 hammering from Celtic,wheres the joy in that? Surely the one thing that's vital is staying up. Then we can at least try to have a better season next year (I'm not at all confident that will happen, but it still needs to be the aim). If we go down then every area of the club will suffer, our squad will get even worse, our crowds will get even worse, there will probably be job losses. We've seen before that once we go down it's tough to get back up and we could end up trapped there for years. Last time we were down it took seven years to get back up, and most of those seven years were anything but exciting. For the most part they were soul-destroying. No one wants to get hammered 7-0 by Celtic but surely as a club we need to be there for those matches so that we can at least try to get better results (which we have managed to do in not-so-distant times). I don't want all the hard work of the last decade to be flushed down the toilet because of one rotten season, and for that to then be romanticised with some skewed notion that it'll be more fun in the Championship anyway. It won't be fun. It'll be a nightmare, and if it happens it should be seen as a huge embarrassment for the club to have screwed up so enormously that they've end up back there.

Shaggy Jenkins Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 The Championship was a living hell the last time. To the point I was certainly seeing the future of the club being mid table second tier club. A home for full of old talent and jobbers. It was not fun, it certainly wasn't romantic being in Arbroath in a new year's Day storm, or traveling to Dumfries in the blowing wind and snow to scrape a 0-0 draw and see another year where you were off the pace by Feb. I am not prepared to go through that again pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
