Time to move on, a tricky midweek game coming up against Dundee. Lennon has to pick the players up after todays result and gat them spot on for this game, not sure if he has many options regards changing the team, just to cheer you up we are at Parkhead next weekend as well !

We played dismally against Aberdeen and we bounced back from that without setting the heather on fire, a wee test of character coming up so interesting to see how we shape up in a month we have tended to do badly in recent years. Our record against celtic is not to shabby-unbeaten in the league against them so far so thats how good we can be.

I get what you mean man. Just think it’s worth trying. Shaw has shown he’s good at holding the ball up and I think Murray makes great runs it’s just that our midfield often see them too late so by then he’s offsides.

Quite frankly I don't even know what the f this formation would be but if I see Boyle on the wing waiting to cross with just one striker in the box with the rest of the midfield 50 yards back casually jogging forward even just one more time I won't be responsible for my actions, therefore Swanson and Slivka have to start just to save my mental health.
We have a pretty horrific run of games coming up so he better pick them up coz if we play like we did today I don't see where the points are coming from tbh

Slivka could actually do the Bartley role v Dundee (holding) - maybe a chance to play Swanson ahead of him too if he's sober :greengrin:cb

Rherras was signed the day before and had a 1 hour training session and McLaren was recovering from a groin strain injury.
I get your point though as that was Sunday and Dundee is Wednesday so you would hope McLaren is a certainty and Rherras a probable.
So many teams with McGinn in it when yesterday he played like his head had been turned.
Dreadful performance from his standards. May be gone by Wednesday?

Another who is a big miss is Whitaker, he has been struggling with a hip injury and i think his presence on the field makes a big difference to the team, Lennon spoke before the game and it sounded like he could be out for a while.

He’s earned the right to have a bad game. Dropping him would be ridiculous. We need to go with our best players. I wouldn’t mind young Fraser Murray getting a start if Marv isn’t fit. McGeoch can be the sitting midfielder.

Don’t agree 4-4-2 with wide players is our best set up. Middle 2 get over run as a lot of teams play 3 central midfielders. I think we’ve played our best in a 4-3-3 system and would hope we go with this on Wednesday. Front 3 of Boyle, Barker and McLaren.

Bain is on loan from Dundee so won't be available tomorrow.
Marciano was one of the few players to come out of yesterday with pass marks IMO so shouldn't be dropped in any case.

McGregor won't be dropped. Head and shoulders our best player yesterday.
I agree on Ambrose though, he's bulletproof with Lennon so I think it's more likely we'll go to a back 3. In saying that, the one time Ambrose was dropped this year was up at Dundee.

I agree with that it I just don’t see him dropping Ambrose.
I don’t think we can go with a back three either though. If you have McGregor, Ambrose, Hanlon with Rherras and Stevenson then it’s effectively a back five which then has Bartley and McGeogh sitting 5 feet in front of it. That’s 7 defensive players. No wonder we don’t score goals.
If McGregor is in then Ambrose has to drop out and if Bartley is in then McGeogh has to drop out. IMO.

That looks alright but has a serious lack of width. Boyle and Barker are two of our biggest threats, they should be on the wings I reckon. If Boyle is at wing back then he's gonna be compromised in terms of attacking. Can he even defend?

He was winning balls in the air, unfortunately our midfield, as someone pointed out, are playing ing their comfort zone and running past the forwards to pick up the second ball.

Dominate the centre midfield, with Barker and Boyle bombing up and down the wings. We’ll create plenty chances from wide areas and with having 3 in centre midfielders, at least one should have the freedom to push forward to help the strikers whenever we are attacking

Was an odd sub yesterday if he wasn't injured. If he'd still been on the pitch the break away from our corner (leading to the corner for their winner) would have been stopped at the half way line one way or another.
That said, I'd leave him out on Wednesday regardless. We've been too negative lately and it hasn't been working. Need to go a bit more positive in there.

100 percent injured....watching him at the game off the ball he was really struggling after the challenge.
As someone else pointed out earlier, I dont think they get their corner that they score from if he is on the pitch.

What is his natural position that everyone goes on about and if indeed he is so good there, why does Neil Lennon not play him in this so called natural position? As far as i can see he is a midfielder and has played in a variety of midfield positions to very little effect.

What is his natural position that everyone goes on about and if indeed he is so good there, why does Neil Lennon not play him in this so called natural position? As far as i can see he is a midfielder and has played in a variety of midfield positions to very little effect.
Just looks like an out and out central midfield player to me who will get about the pitch.
He's played wide and been ok but not much better. Obviously Lennon knows him better than me but I would never have imagined him playing in the position he did yesterday.

Why the clamour for Bain...Rocky done nothing wrong yesterday. We have enough problems without changing our Keeper for no reason whatsoever

Back to basics imo...
Back four usual with rherras in at right back.
Midfield five of boyle and barker wide, bartley (if fit), mcginn amd mcgeouch as a tight central three, murray or shaw up top.
However i suspect he will go with a back three, with rherras in at rwb and, same tight midfield three and shaw and the new boy up top (mclaren?)

Hes a good solid keeper who knows the league.
Rockys communication isnt good enough. Looks shakey at times and flaps at corners. Theres a reason he was dropped for Laidlaw earlier in the season and the only reason he got back in was because Laidlaw was poor vs Celtic in the semi.
im pretty sure it was agreed he wouldnt play for a few games due to some religious thing(may be wrong), dont think it was a case of being dropped for laidlaw

I think McGregor is the better option in defence if we are going for a midfield without Bartley in it.
Ambrose, for all his faults, isn't half bad with the ball at his feet, can drive forward and hold a higher defensive line with Bartley sitting in front of them, allowing the fullbacks to push forward.
McGregor isn't as mobile as Ambrose or Hanlon but he is much more aggressive and sits deeper making tackles and winning headers. If McGregor is in defence I would swap out Bartley for an attacking midfielder sitting behind Maclaren, someone like Swanson or Slivka, but given the form Bartley has been in it seems unfair to drop him which is why I would go for Ambrose in defence.

It's factual. He loves a wee trip to his club.

According to Lenny on his Hibs TV interview, big Marv is struggling for tomorrow. Could see Slivka starting again.

I'd like to see slivka slip into bartleys position (that's not innuendo). Think that's his natural position.

Slivka is an attacking midfielder
