Team v Them

[Unseen work]

Let’s get right into it, who is staring for you next Sunday against Hearts?

……………………Marshall………..

Cadden….Rocky…..Porteous…Cabraja….

…………JDH……Kenneh….Newell….

Melkersen……………………………Henderson….

………………………Youan………

Thought it was noticeable today that there was a slight tweak with our formation being a flat midfield 3 instead of one being behind the striker. Kenneh sat then Henderson and Newell either side broke forward well.

Only change for me is JDH in for Tavares. Imo Tavares looked a bit off the pace and I’m not sure he’d be ready for such a physical and intense game as Hearts.

Think the front 3 could cause issues, Henderson drifting in and Youans pace and movement could be an issue.

Think you’re in for some stick for putting JDH and Newell in together…. It’s a hot topic in regard to them playing along side one another.

It’s ok I’ve not put in the goalscoring midfielder that is Campbell to complete some peoples iconic trio 😅

[BlackSheep]

Right now I’d put Delfierre or Tait in front of JDH, just down to match fitness.

Until the sending off, Newell also played superbly against them in the semi, or have folk forgotten that too? 🤔

[Sgt. Hartman]

Doubt LJ would do it but I’d bring delferierre in for Tavares and move Henderson to the left

[JJP]

Same starting 11 as today please.

[Libby Hibby]

Same team as yesterday but I’d maybe consider swapping Jair for Mitchel.

[.Sean.]

I think he’ll start Mitchell

[Since452]

Mitchell looked more of an accomplished player than Tavares when he came on. Taverez still raw so understandable. Think Tavares will be a better impact sub for the time being.

Assuming Cabraja and Bushiri don't get cited by the Compliance Officer tomorrow morning I would go with;

Marshall

Cabraja
Bushiri
Porteous
Cadden

Kenneh
Newell
Henderson
Mitchell

Melkersen
Youan

If they are cited then I have no idea who we'll play at the back.

[Allant1981]

Id possibly swap youan for doidge, and tavares for mitchell, apart from that same as yesterday

I think the whole team will get banned after somebody films them doing a naked conga down Perth High Street.

That'll be from his fight with Nisbet aye? Nisbet must have some voice on him. Never known words shouted from several yards to cause a concussion.

Hopefully Cadden is fit.

Only change I’d make is Mitchell in for Jair from yesterday.

Slightly worried about Shanklands movement around Rocky and Porteous. On the other hand I fancy Youan to exploit gaps in behind Sibbick especially.

I’m sure Alex Ferguson managed it a few times

[B.H.F.C]

Team in the opening post will be the team I think.

They were lucky yesterday, we need to go out and really take the game to them.

I hope not. Leaves us in the same position we were last season where the 3 centre mids have no real attacking intent.

Henderson needs to be in there imo.

Think it’s a bit different with Kenneh in there, frees the other two up. Not Newell’s biggest fan but he tried to take the game to St Johnstone yesterday.

Just think Johnson will look to go a bit more solid.

[Leith Green]

Lots of posters having missing Newell out… I thought he played a really good game yesterday a proper midfield performance, bit of dig , drive , and commitment.. Been a critic of his at times , but on his day he is excellent, yesterday was the same , hopefully he plays well against Hearts , which to be fair he usually has done (minus the silly bookings .. Also notice jake doyle hayes seems to be playing a more advanced role pre season and yeterday when he came on

[truehibernian]

Wouldn’t change anything from yesterday, if anything it immediately showed St Johnstone we were there to win by playing such a forward thinking starting line up. I liked the balance in midfield too.

Playing 4-3-3 immediately puts Hearts defenders under pressure and limits them time to build from the back and play through the lines. Our new left back and Miller - if he comes in for Cadden - have terrific energy and more importantly will defend and put a foot in - hard - against McKay and Forrest.

We’re actually looking a very physical (and energetic) side now whereas last season we were bullied. Youan, Jair, and Cabraja make a real difference, and Mitchell back gives real energy and pace too.

Really looking forward to Sunday - that win yesterday was exactly what they needed going into the derby.
