What does this mean for a back 4 now as well? Have to try it again in the next match


yeh that's a tricky one. Siggie shouldn't be right back. Lochie if he isn't playing regularly is a liability at left back and perhaps anyway. Also don't like Emblen. Irrational dislike, but I think Ricki would be better off with a deputy who didn't want to be coach like he did in Brian Turner or was it...Raul Blanco? can't remember...

I had a feeling that to win we might be better off using James like Elliot and putting Wood/Killen with Marco/Smeltz/Kosta upfront and playing like we did last time with Bertos and Brockie as wingbacks ...

                                                   Moss

                                    Siggie    Winnie   Tommy

Bertos                       Howieson/converted CB    James        Brockie

                                 Wee Mac/Marco/Kosta

                        Marco/Kosta         Wood            Killen

I don't think we'll win trying to play ball on the deck slick passing football. Honduras or Panama will be better than us. Kosta on the bench for mine- he's good, will be a good impact player, but I'm not convinced about him starting...The only worry there is that no one has got gas in midfield.
