john hughes phones you up and asks you to create some new tactics/formations...

[Hakim Sar]

What do you advise him to do differently?

[Westie1875]

Drop Stokes to the bench and play Deek & Nish upfront in a 442 with Zouma & Galbraith on the wings.

[ahibby]

Good question but I can't see what he is doing wrong, so I'd say just you keep doing what you are doing. I thought he took a wee gamble on Sat with the late sub but it paid off, so he gets a thumbs up from me.

[zlatan]

Before the game select 'I expect a win'

If at half time they are losing then 'show anger to team'

If we lose, I'd tell them the performance was 'an embarrassment'

I'd also set us up with a local feeder club to get first option on their players and allow us to send youngsters to the club on loan, the feeder club has no obligation to play said players. Every year the feeder clubs would host a friendly with all money going to the feeder club.

Then make a 'board request' to expand the stadium and when Petrie blocks the application 'issue ultimatum' before fining sol bamba a weeks wages for being sent off in last match?

"Hiy, Yogi. Give that Stokes boy a wee spell on the bench to try and kickstart his goalscoring exploits. And give Galbraith a chance. And if possible, could you bring back Thierry Gatheussi? "

[Mikey]

Couple of tweaks.

Get McCormack at RB and Spoony up to RM. Move Zemmama from RM and replace Benji with him. Get Galbraith to LM and put Deek up front where he can replace Stokes.

Easy peasy

Change nothing and don't waste your time listening to ill-thought-out views on tactics from fans such as I, who are frankly not well equipped to offer advice to a professional manager such as yourself

get Nish as far away from Edinburgh as possible, as soon as possible. That apart keep it going.

Sanctimonious git!

[wee 162]

When Zemmama isn't fit, don't play the formation which he makes work. Change it.

Sanctimonious git!

A show of reasoned humility rather than self righteousness surely

You won't have to look far on here to find the sanctimonious however

[heretoday]

Put me in the no 9 position. Get Deeks and Zouma to lay it on a plate.

I will score.

And I will celebrate.

Oh yes.

[yekimevol]

switch two 442 if keep the same players benji and stokes up front the rest is easy unless mcbride is still out the zouma goes into middle wotherspoon right mid and mccormack to right back. sub at 60 and 75 to keep team fresh with one 4 injury

It was quite obviously a show of reasoned humility. Thanks for alerting to me to the real reason behind his post though, not sure I would have managed to work it out myself.



My "sanctimonious" post was intended as nothing but good humoured cheek, as the inane green grin was intended to show.......

zemmama in the middle of the three attacking midfielders would involve him more and doing so should be high up the list of priorities.

you've lost me there, I'm afraid.

[Rory89]

I'd advise him to watch the game from the sky directly above the pitch, where all the players are just like littled dots running about. If he doesn't like my advice I'd reccomend that I take over, I have a managerial record Yogi could only dream of.

I like this although I'm not a fan of McCormack. but spoony at RM would be niiiiiice

[MWHIBBIES]

drop stokes play 442 with nish and deek up top and zouma and galbrieth wide

McCormack didn't play for long on Saturday but he did enough to convince me as a RB, leaving Spoon to move into midfield.

Exactly what I've been thinking (and it appears a few others have aswell) with the exception of McCormack, but due only to the fact that I haven't really seen him play at all. The general consensus appears to be that he'd be well suited to that role though...

But why drastically change what appears to be a working formula?
