Haven’t read too much into our pre season games. What formation has been mainly in use?
just wondering going forward into season what Jack Ross will prefer. With Doidge in good form last season and the signing of Nisbet and the emergence of Gullan, will he always look to go with 2 strikers against the ‘lesser’ sides or will we revert back to a more 4.3.3 with boyle/Horgan supporting 1 top man.
What do people think is the best set up for the players we have in squad to get the best out them?

What should be the main system/formation with this squad

For me it’s got to have Boyle as an out and out right winger, Allan as a 10 and Doidge up top. Without knowing much about him I’d suggest it needs to have Gogic sitting deep. So for me that leaves us with 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.

I think we're setting up for a 3-5-2 - Boyle as right wing back and Wright or Horgan on the other side. Doidge and Nisbet up front, and then likely Gogic, Halberg (or Mallan) and Allan as the central three midfielders.

Gogic, Newell and Allan will start the season in the middle of the park IMO.

Mallan has been struggling with a knee injury and is unlikely to be involved tomorrow he said.
Jackson has also missed a large amount of the training and games through injury but he didn't say whether he'd make the squad or not.

Going by Jack Ross’ interview on YouTube Doidge has missed a fair chunk of pre season and only played 45 minutes. With that in mind I think we will start with 4232

Mental so many dropping Hanlon for McGregor. Never going to happen. Ball would never be on the ground with McGregor and Porteous as a 2.
Hanlon is our best defender, the best passer and the only let footed one. I cant see him missing many games.

It means nothing, Paul Hanlon is a quality player, has been for years. He is the least problematic of our current defenders.

Funny that the above team is all the players rested for the celtic game though. It does hint at mcgregor playing with porto.

He loses his man and gets bullied off the ball far too much for a top six defender imo. He also has looked to have lost a yard of pace. We should have signed Ambrose, still don’t understand why we didn’t.

If Doig has a similar engine to Boyle then I'd like to see a 352. Lennon was most successful with that formation as it allowed him to play his best players in their best areas. It worked because we had a central midfield trio that complemented each other. Holding, up and down and attacking. If we could get Docherty or Hallberg can do that job then we will again have the chance to play players where they play best.

We'll see tomorrow I suppose, but I'm very confident in man in your picture will be selecting Hanlon every time, as he has since hes came in.

Did you see the team we had out Celtic park? Cant be judging much from that.
Why are the crosses getting into the box? Why did the opposition have the ball? Why did we concede the corner? Those are the questions good teams ask. Not ''we lost a goal, blame the defenders''.

It doesn’t matter why crosses are coming into our box, our full backs being poor is the obvious reason though, they are very rarely dealt with. Our defence is bottom six by miles and there’s no standouts.
I did see the team at Celtic park yes, I also seen similar mistakes in defence from Jackson and Hanlon against Celtic youths and reserves.
I’m out the discussion now mate, you should have lost me at the “you know better than Jack Ross now” part but out of respect I replied regardless.

Of course it matters why the crosses are coming in. You cant just let the opposition cross 100 times then blame the defenders if they score. I think our poor midfielder and wingers not defending is far more to blame than anything. I think it was Jurgen Klopp who said that if your fullback is left 1 vs 1 you've already made a mistake.
We'll see. Our team isn't bottom six since Ross came in, no where near that. That includes the defence.
How did our defence stack up after Ross came in? Cant just judge guys like Newall and Doidge as good players because of their form under Ross then say the defences condeded bla bla the 4th most goals when a large part of that was some shockers under Hecky.

Would like to see 3-5-2 but with Doidge out it'll likely be a 4-3-3 variation.
Excited to see Newell played more centrally (hopefully) along with all 3 new signings probably getting a start.
Boyler playing on the right as well, we're all too aware of how good he can be. Absolutely buzzing to have the football back
