Think Cummings was way too greedy today - is he a given to start alongside Stokes - impressed with his attitude today? Or does Keatings get a look in? Can see Fom being on the bench.

Hail hail

Not just today, needs to lift his head more and pass instead of trying to beat a man 3-4 times. I'd like to see Stokes and Dagnall.

Cummings will start with Stokes.
We have yet to see a goal threat from Dagnell.
Keatings and Malonga have both already shown that they are not as prolific as Jason.

Hail hail I think Cummings tended to try to beat one too many defenders today, but did well in being positive and at least beating a couple before the point where he should have passed! Laid on goal for Mcginn as well IIRC.

Yep, I agree with that. Some poor decision making but showed great desire and urgency from the off and set a good tone for the way the match panned out.

Personally I doubt if AS would last a full 90mins. He was brought on at the right time today and I think it will be the same next week.

Cummings made the wrong decision quite a few times, trying to take players on instead of shooting/passing and vice versa. But drop him? No chance he's one of the few players we have with the ability to pick the ball up and force the issue.

He might not have scored today, but when did he last go two games without a goal? JC starts every week unless injured imo.

I think for the first time we may now have players that could form a front two partnership Exactly what the best pairing is am not sure even Stubbs will know this for certain so we may see him play different combinations during games?Exciting times Ahead
Malonga was the player to lose out today and if he is going to be fifth choice striker can see him being unhappy about that so if a bid did come in for him he could move on ,but would still like to keep him as on his day he offers something different

If anyone is dropped it'll be Dom - cup game needs everyone firing, last few games even when he scored he's languid - Dom won't start next week it's a given. I'd start same 3 today - can't ask for a better bench than Dom, Stokes and Keatings.

He also scored in one of those games. Only on here could we suggest the answer to our goalscoaring problems would be to drop the only guy who has consistently scored goals for 2 seasons

Hail hail
Good substitutions ,and despite a VERY poor defensive tackle resulting in the loss of a goal,the team otherwise worked their socks off .The lack of a cutting edge was evident ,but when we went direct and at pace we showed what we all know, we can win and win well......keep that pace and drive going and we will have little to worry about....
It was a shame we were on tender hooks after that silly free kick ,but the heads never went down and Keatings and Stokes looked the part as a link up duo....No fault re Cummings just still learning his trade and making some errors in decision making perhaps..but that is how you learn..he is an asset .

As the manager said after the game he has been playing keatings out of position ...I believe he has lots to offer if played up front through the middle ....you never know he may well be the perfect foil for stokes

If Stokes has a good week training, double sessions etc then I can see Stubbs taking a calculated risk with him for first 60 mins and then replace with Dagnall. Cummings is out top scorer by a mile and has movement and energy. He is a certain starter in my opinion.

Given St Johnstone have drawn two and lost four of last 6 games, scoring one....I would say us starting with Stokes would make them seriously worried!!

Regardless he is 100% starting against the gimps from across the road and he will run riot against that defence!

Don't think you can start both against STJ. Would have no problems going with them against most of this league though.

Cummings will be first on the team list next week, of that I am certain. Dagnall or Dagnall alongside, then Dagnall and a combination of Dag/Dagnall as the game goes on. If we're chasing it, sling the lot on :greengrin

Dropping our top goal scorer would be a bit daft right now. Jason can be greedy but he's more likely to score than any of the other strikers we have apart from Stokes!

Libby Hibby

In the big games, Jason has always produced be it The Rangers, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd this season and in games where we have needed a goal, he often pops up.

It would be insane to rest him with the run of games we have coming up IMO.

We were too reliant on him, I've expressed this in the past but not now with what we have now at our disposal up front. It keeps the 5 of them on their toes, if they want to play, they need to play well, quite simple really.

To be fair he still very much is too one footed.

Jason will start of that there is no doubt.

He had a poor game yesterday, although I would say the crowd got on at him a bit too easy/soon yesterday when he should have shot in the second half and 75% of the ground went radge. I thought that was harsh. It led to him taking a shot from jokes out the next time he had a clear sight of goal.

He'll start because he's a brilliant goal scorer. He always makes himself very busy, dropping deep to link up play for example.

I thought JC did OK yesterday. He was a lot more involved than normal. He did miss a good chance but that happens to all strikers. He'll learn of of Stokes and Dagnall. Our squad has a bit of depth so AS will rotate then strikers in the coming months

That was one - there were a few other times when he ran blindly into bodies.

He's got a lot of potential but has lots to learn - hopefully Dagnall and Stokes can bring him on.

24-01-2016, 10:44 AM
I'd start with Cummings and Malonga next week and bring Stokes on with 30 mins to go. We seem to score a lot of late goals and Stokes would be perfect for that.

Ozyhibby
24-01-2016, 10:48 AM
Cummings isn't just a great goal scorer, he's a great player as well. He is always hungry to get on the ball, brave enough to take players on in the final third and he gets into great positions. And he is getting better all the time.
He's the hottest property in Scottish football right now for a reason.
Luckily Stubbs knows this and once both are fit, Stokes and Cummings will play up front.
And anyone who thinks they won't be able to make a good partnership is crazy as well. Stokes is a very creative player, who has a lot more to his game than just goals. Just ask Gary Hooper if Stokes is a good strike partner.

Cummings is always going to lose the ball more than ANYONE else in the team. The reason is he will be taking players on in the final third or in the box where space is tight.

He scores goals, he lays them on, he is a bit greedy, Messi's not coming.

Enjoy him while he's here.

Speaking of Messi, he has lost the ball more than any other player in the Spanish league for the last 6 seasons in a row for the very same reasons you speak of.

Felt sorry for Jason yesterday, but he was always hungry and wanting the ball which is the mark of a good player.

Could see him getting frustrated towards the end of the match, I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did as it just wasn't going to happen for him.

hibbysam
24-01-2016, 11:38 AM
I wouldn't start Stokes next week, the match has the potential to go to extra time and penalties and I feel Dagnalls running for 60/70 minutes and workrate could cause massive problems and if we are still level at that point stokes to come on and find masses of space, he would be a massive player if it went into Extra Time however he wouldn't last 120 minutes if he started.

:agree: Too many lose the head when a player - in a split second of decision time - ends up making the apparently wrong decision. Cummings is great for us, and it will be very interesting to see how him and Stokes can do when playing together. Keatings Malonga and Dagnall also bring different options. Great position for Stubbs to be in.

24-01-2016, 02:22 PM
Imo yesterday watching Cummings was like him trying to show that he is still the main man type of thing.

dont change your game or try be different now stokes is in. He has been fantastic since his debut playing his own way, keep learning and he will be a fantastic player.

24-01-2016, 06:35 PM
Jason is greedy, that shouldn't shock anyone, most natural goalscorers are, he's still learning his trade though but he is doing so while scoring goalsnat a very good rate, Cummings will continue to be our main striker with Stokes the link up forward

Would agree with this Cummings looked frustrated yesterday and needs to pass a little more but goes far too deep to get the ball at times, Cummings and Stokes for me up front, Dagnell won't want to spend time on the bench along with Keatings and Malonga. It's time to do something about it set up more goals and get some yerself onwards and upwards.

24-01-2016, 08:05 PM
Actually thought a lot of his play yesterday was sharp however some of his decision making wasn't great. These things happen. He is excellent in the big games so IMO will score on Saturday and v Hearts.
