Future defence

[Ayrton Twigge 0]

Now we have the Doc, how are we going to sort out our defence because Charlton and Fleming have played exceedingly well, although I''m still concerned about their lack of height.

Having mulled it over I wonder if the following re-jig is viable.

Flem - Doc - Charlton at the back

Eddie/Helvig - Francis - Safri/Holt - Mullers/Bentley - Drury/Brennan

 

Two forwards of your choice.

Looks strong to me - but what do I know.

i still prefer:

---------    green

Edworthy-Flem-Charlton-Drury
-----------Safri-------------
------Francis-------Bently---
 ---------- Huckerby---------
------Doc--------Mckenzie---

but:
------------------- Green-------------------
-----------Fleming---Doc-----Charlton-------
-------------Francis------SAfri------------
Jonson/mcveigh--------------------Bently-
------------------huckerby---------------
--------Doc--------------------Mckenzie---

looks good iswell

I think alot of people feel the same as you Aryton (inc myself). A simple way to include an extra defender is to play 3-5-2, this would give lesser defensive responsibity for Drury and perhaps Helveg would get improved confidence knowing that there would be less chance of mistakes being punished.

Wasn''t there a guy who played for us once may still be on the books used to play for Celtic seems to have been erased from all memories?

Shame on you all writing off the Malkay. He will be priceless for us this season when we get injuries and suspensions. I have no doubt he can do a job for us and to write him off before he kicks a ball is well out of order.

 

From tonights BBC report " Malky Mackay was outstanding at the heart of the Scottish defence, while Gary Caldwell and Jackie McNamara also caught the eye. "

I don''t think big Malky should be ruled out just yet though. I''ve just been watching him play for Scotland against Spain and he''s having a very solid game at the back. It''s currently 1-0 to Scotland!

good game to try 3-5-2 would be the bristol rovers cup game

[AJ 1,235]

of course having those players on to give them ago...........
Especially mullers and Sven, and makay - he did great for scotland last night!

[AJ 1,235]

Good idea.

Id also play Sven and Mckenzie up front. - and maybe hux on the left.

----------Green------------
----Flem-Makay-Bennan----
Helveg-Mulryne-Safri-Jonson
-------Huckerby------------
Leon-------------Sven-----

what about that?????

[Northern Canary 0]

is that for the Bristol match?

[Pete Raven 276]

The formation against Bristol Rovers (my second team) should be:GallacherEdworthy, Mackay, Doherty, ShackellHenderson, Mulryne, Holt, Brennan Jarvis, SvenssonThe sooner we exit this tin-pot competition the better. We have bigger fish to fry.

yeah, i agree with Mr Raven
