taylorboy69 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 As the title says, who is your preferred option for this weekends game??? I just saw the last 45 mins of training today at McD (daughter fell asleep in motor and noticed they were training so stopped and watched). Very interesting to see the attacking drills. for ten mins it was Peaso and Jacko, then the next ten mins Holmes & Savo. This went on for the duration so it would appear that the manager will not be splitting these pairing for the forseeable future. On the basis of Tuesday's game and training today, I personally hope he goes with Holmes and Savo as they looked awesome today. Thoughts???

blueheaven Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I haven't seen Holmes play yet, but from what I've heard of his stature I'd definitely have him on from the start, with instructions to bully and pressurise Flapsy Cuthbert right from the off. It also sounds like Savo is on good form, so I think those two have to be the starting pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee john Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Peaso is an enigma, IMHO he is p*sh 80% of the time, and just when you are at the end of your tether with him he scores a peach. I would say get him out the team and get Savo in definately but because I have said it Peaso will probably score a screamer. What do I know.

Dave H Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Holmes and Jacko pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Beatson Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Holmes and Savo for me. On Tuesday night Milne and Holmes both scored after they came on (although I appreciate that had a lot to do with Stenny players being knackered) and both looked dangerous. Also, as BH says, we need someone to pile the pressure on Cuthbert at corners etc. Imagine him facing up to James, Hardie and Holmes all at the same time.

Excellent post, and I'll go along with what you said. Cuthbert will be shitting himself at the thought of James and Hardie charging towards him when the ball comes in the box. He does seem the type of player you can intimidate and force mistakes out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorboy69 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 dont think its the best taylor that u are giving our tactics away on the internet so that any scout could read! well done! Is this a wind up??????? What tactics have i given away?? All i was saying was it looks like the manager believes that Jacko and Peaso are a good combo and also that Savo and Homer is a good combo (both striking pairing played during all attacking workouts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sign dave Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 so they will be ready for a 4-4-2 and not the 4-3-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE LARK SAINT Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 so they will be ready for a 4-4-2 and not the 4-3-3 Ihave to say im not that bothered who the front men are, or what pairing, im sure del knows what hes doing and as long as they bang the goals in and we win then thats all that matters to me.

Dennistoun Saint Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Savo and Sherlock. Agreed. No contest at the moment. Jackson looks well off the pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlickDT Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 A fantastic problem to have!!!! A bit of me says dropping Jackson this early could be a right dent to his season! That said he's a big boy, in a great squad and would have to deal with it. I say Holmes and Savo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ1980 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I would go with Holmes anf Savo. They've both bagged a few so far, and I imagine the boys will be instructed by Del to fire the balls into the box above Kev for him to wave at and make an arse of, thus it would make sense to have the big fella on.

O'Rourke Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Big Johnny Sherlock and Savo would be my first choice pairing on present form. I have a horrible feeling Lark may be onto something re ICT courting Savo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a horrible feeling Lark may be onto something re ICT courting Savo! agree this is the best dillemma we could hope for - two teams of strikers - take any permutation to be honest.

Morientes Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Holmes and either Savo or Jacko. Given the form right now (although only 3 of games in) probably Savo. Although Holmes and Jacko up front with Milne in behind would work. I reckon we need a physical presence up front, but with enough 'football' players around so we don't end up going route 1 all the time. The permutations we can actually have in our starting 11 is frightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
