Who takes millers place
Whittaker.
Young Whittaker - plays with no fear and has pace.
Hopefully Whittikar.
Interesting he moved Fish to right back today and brought on Hanlon though
But I think he’ll show faith in the young man and start him.
Whittaker for me. Fish didn't do well there today and I would play Campbell in front of him rather than Youan who again was a man short in defence when he came on. Whittaker might not be 100% ready to play 90 minutes but he certainly doesn't look phased by being included.Quote:

I would have thought Whittaker but why was he nor brought on today?
I'm not so sure it will be but given NM won't budge from 442 I don't see what the alternatives are
I wouldn’t budge from 4-4-2 either Scoopy, it’s working for me. Defensively it’s 4-4-2, when breaking the press it’s a dynamic 4-2-4 which drags opponents everywhere. It’s just about giving NM time on the training pitch, giving him a couple of windows, and perfecting it. Vente in particular is superb at defending from the top as an example. I think you should always play 2 up top anyway - goals win games and if we can polish up the playing from the back and perhaps get a physical midfielder in during January, I think the system we are playing is working well and will continue to.Quote:

I'm not grumping about 442, what I'm saying is that I don't think it is cut and dried it will be Whittaker.Quote:

I’ve a feeling we might see Campbell there, big game for a 16yr old so can see some merit in it
I think down to 10 men, away from home against a big team in Dundee changed that.Quote:

Maybe a case of playing it a bit safer which tbf was wise imo
I think there’s an element of going for experience when we only had 10 men. It would have been a huge shift for the young un and maybe felt a poor 25 mins or so would set him back. Guess there might have been a bit of man management right there today. I think Whittaker will start on Sunday if we are without Miller.Quote:

Could play Jeggo there, we’ve tried everyone else 😂
If its not a swap to a back 3 and Boyler RWB then has to be Whittaker
Fish at RB today didn't look comfortable but he did his best. He's not a RB though.
Sure he wasn’t brought on to avoid injury but also to try the other formation and see if it was a goer.Quote:

I’d honestly trust Jeggo to slot in there and play well.Quote:

Whittaker did fine at St Mirren. I don’t think Montgomery will do anything out of the ordinary. I know he did something a bit different today but I think that was to do with circumstances at the time and wanting some experience to get us through. I’d be surprised if Whittaker didn’t play.Quote:

Don't think so. Who would play wing backs. I think he will stick with 442 and play Whittaker. Perhaps he will stick Campbell back one and bring Youan in but that would make us very weak defensively down that side.Quote:

Agreed we shouldn't make it but he is better than Fish at RB. The way we play needs full backs that can get forward and Whittaker looks the only option to me.Quote:
