Simple for me. Yes we inhibit Dabo Giles Mccallum. But we need to start shutting up shop.

Conceding 23 in 11 is pathetic.

'YeA bUt WeRe PlAyInG wElL'

How many points do we get for playing well? Fuck and all.

We need to learn to shithouse 1 nil wins or we may aswell give up now. Find a way to play sheaf Hamer Kelly together and sacrifice wing backs. Only way we stay up i feel

433 for me.

Marosi

Dabo Hyam Osti Mccallum (in a flat 4).

Hamer Kelly Sheaf ( can keep it tight and also create)

Ohare Godden Walker (goals there whatever way you look at it)

Totally agree

23 in 11 is unacceptable.

I think Dabo is massive for us and he's much better as a wing back than a right back, when he comes in I hope to see us improve.

Otherwise I just don't see us having the personnel to go 4 at the back. Our best full back is at St Mirren.

Absolutely not.
Our CBs all lack pace to play in a 2 & it would unbalance us far more further forward.
The system is fine, if we have a right footer at RWB.

It's stupid errors & our setup at set pieces that is costing us.

Our tactic works considering we 2-1 up in second half vs one of best teams in league

As we improve squad we will do even better

Till the transfer window its all about staying up.

Width in that still comes from the fullbacks as O'Hare and Walker naturally would drift inside. We'd be even more exposed to the ball in the channel with just the 2 CBs. Current formation is fine with 2 up top, cutting out the errors is the number 1 priority right now.

Do you think we’ll do any business in the transfer window? Be surprised myself, unless we manage to ship a couple out. Robins was quite certain about the ‘no more in’ at the end of the last window. Unless Joy sells a couple of handbags of course

No i mean summer window

Feel current squad can stay up

More so in this formation than asking them to learn a new one

We have very little attacking threat without the wing backs.

The issue is that we haven't had a settled back 5 yet. As soon as we get that, we'll be ok. We sure do miss Dabo right now, though.

Ridiculous. That would make us worse imo.

We can be more defensive in the same system

We don't have 2 defenders good enough that's why we play 3.

Folks on here need to chill we will be fine. Believe in the manager and system.

More than enough quality in squad.

Let's see what happens in next 11 games. When we play the bottom half mostly.

I'm sure there's money for at least signing in January.

Til the end of the season it's about staying up

The only thing that is pathetic here are the toddler meltdowns on here tonight

Dabo hasn't played much this season but has featured in both of our wins. I'm sure that's no coincidence.

Not sure we've got the players for what is being suggested. Would also be worried that we'd be under constant pressure. Its great talking about sneaking 1-0 wins but who are you counting on to put away the solitary half chance we get every couple of games in that system?

Even from a defensive perspective I'm not convinced changing the system would lead to clean sheets. Its not going to speed McFadz up or stop individual errors.

It is a coincidence as we still conceded twice it’s just we managed to score 3

Last season despite being top we only won a handful of games by more than 1 goal we tended to build from defence now we chase games and the wing backs are not stopping any attacking movement - McCallum was hopelessly exposed and in the second half they got behind us a lot
