3-5-2 or 5-3-2 for the rest of the season

[andy1875]

I would like to see us try 3-5-2 now. A flat back four just doesn't work and our "shape" has been brutal all year. If Terry doesn't want to bring in Baptie and Black then scrap 4-4-2 as our fullbacks offer nowt.

GK- Williams
RWB - Harris
CB - Forster
CB - McPake
CB - McGivern
LWB - Stevenson
CM - Thommo (Captain)
CM - Stanton
CM - Robertson
CF - Cummings
CF - Collins

Two wide players who have an engine, grit and passers in the midfield and two up front (mind when we used to do that)

It's got to be worth a shot.

[Glory Lurker]

I can't see us playing 2 up front, sadly.

Really? The guy couldn't finish his dinner.

Really? The guy couldn't finish his dinner.

Collins and Heffernan were showing signs of a decent partnership earlier in the season pre injury, form etc.

Collins on his own just doesn't work. Maybe, just maybe it could click with Cummings.

There is no other striker at the club unless you try Watmore.

[Bronson]

Harris at right wing back would be a disaster, scared of every tackle that's came his way since his injury.

Agree but Watmore might be worth a bash there .

I'd actually stick with the 4-2-3-1 but I'd play with width in Harris and Watmore and none of this long ball crap.

Heffernan won't play again this season.

Which means he probably won't play for Hibs again.

Not sure if Collins should start and would benefit from having someone to okay off upfront or we're best to cut losses short term and go with someone else.

Either way, Cummings needs more support - would love to start with 2 up front vs. Thistle next week, but we really are struggling for viable alternatives to Collins, which shows how bad we are just now

Boetang it's the answer ,and another change in back four with Foster suspended means anther new centre back partnership which will take time to settle and make us more vulnerable .Craig for me doesn't deserve another game I just don't see what he brings to team that is positive .
I now think we are going to have to go into last two games needing something With Foster suspended for thistle game who is going to score for us

[dmc1875]

I don't think we should change the mid/front much we need to keep some continuity.
