We should model our play and style of football after Athletico madrid really good team to watch.



06 Apr 2018 07:12:12
i’ve been a huge fan of athletico for years chris

id sell murray park just for the chance to get simeone in!

can you imagine .



06 Apr 2018 13:25:21
Looks like a simple 442 everyone working hard for each other.



06 Apr 2018 15:24:36
Atletico are a great team but there not shy kicking the c**p out of there opposition and blatant diving, not attributes I would like our club to adopt. Great squad of players though.



06 Apr 2018 16:30:03
I'd take those attributes rather than to meekly get beat, run off the park by poor teams like Motherwell, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Hamilton!



05 Apr 2018 13:23:12
doiger same team as you . but candieas dropped for holt.



05 Apr 2018 19:29:35
We need more game time for Cummings. I would utilise him and Morelos up front and let the two wide players attack from slightly deeper. The central midfield would be Goss, Dorrans and Docherty.



06 Apr 2018 10:01:49
Would that make it only 3 in defence then Billy as you have 7 players there for attack and midfield!



06 Apr 2018 12:44:07
Yes CD, I would play 2 of them as defensive midfielders in front of Alves.
My main reason for this is that our centre halves cannot form a good pairing, and any ball that is played into our central defence causes havoc.
It is terrible to admit, but young Bates is badly missed and would walk into our team. Then we could revert to a back 4 with McCrorie in the defensive midfield role.



06 Apr 2018 13:30:14
A would like to see a back 3 of mcrorie alves and martin use the wing backs of tav and john with dorrans docherty and goss in the middle with goss the deeper of the 3 cummins and morelos in attack a more attacking formation at home anyway go for it our formation the now is dated and teams know how to handle that now just what a would lile to see and fod in goal



06 Apr 2018 14:30:54
SM99- No Candeias? I know he has been off the boil since the Celtic game but still think he has been one of our best players this year along with Tav.



06 Apr 2018 14:57:21
Candieas for Holt, that's a belter my man.



06 Apr 2018 15:02:52
But in all seriousness, nothing against wee Holt but Candieas has been one of our best players this season, can't see why you would choose to drop him over other players.



06 Apr 2018 16:15:07
Forgot about candeias guys lol maybe swap him with goss sit docherty deeper but a change of formation is required atleast for the home game we should play a more attacking style give candeias a more free role to rome down both wings and whip in croses would give the full backs a headache trying to deal with him



05 Apr 2018 10:43:36
What is our best starting XI from the players available right now for the last six league games and cup semi-final?

Here is my vote!

Foderingham; Tavernier, Alves, McCrorie, John; Goss; Dorrans, Docherty, Murphy, Candeias; Morelos

Could swap Holt for Goss and Windass for Candeias but the latter goes AWOL too often for my liking. I also think in certain big games Halliday wouldn't be a bad inclusion somewhere in the team as he's a bluenose and a fighter!



05 Apr 2018 13:08:56
Not a bad team Doiger. Cummings should be given a decent shot at a starting place but if your 11 are on form we could win all our games.



05 Apr 2018 13:13:05
Why not go with the 4-4-2 diamond we tried before with some success

gk - Fod
rb - Tav
lb - John
cb - Alves
cb - Martin/ Cardoso
dm - McCrorie
cm - Dorrans
cm - Docherty
am - Murphy
cf - Morelos/ Miller
cf - Cummings/ Windass

Both fullbacks would be offensive wing backs, mostly attacking with McCrorie sitting in with the 2 cbs.
Feel for candias here tho. Been one of our best players.
If bates gets fit he'd start in defence for me.



05 Apr 2018 14:58:58
Gordon, interesting you mentioned Kenny, I know he's literally at the end of his playing career but I feel with this run in approaching his experience could be useful, at least coming on off the bench?

I think he should of got at least 10 mins against them at Ibrox recently and against Motherwell last weekend.



05 Apr 2018 16:11:09
Hoping rossiter will be eased back in soon and fingers crossed he's going to have a career in the game



05 Apr 2018 10:34:02
Do we know date yet of final old firm league game at the piggery. I am assuming will be scheduled early after split and before league technically decided.



05 Apr 2018 12:19:20
Bankie I read somewhere it's week after semi.



05 Apr 2018 20:09:58
It could possibly be the 3rd match of the split. Ideally the league want it the 1st game however there is a distinct possibility it would be a game where they win the league so I’m sure the league will want to avoid that. Can’t make it the last game as they will get the trophy that day so 3rd game to me makes more sense as they will be already champions



06 Apr 2018 11:27:50
Modelling style of play on Athletic or anyone is a long term plan and time we don't have. Better to buy a dependable cb and take from there.



05 Apr 2018 07:20:07
If windass is injured then miller will play the 10 role behind morales.



05 Apr 2018 00:30:23
As we are all in mourning of the sudden loss of a footballing legend. Ray I hope your up there sipping a glass of red with your loved ones thinking what's all the fuss about. Forever in our hearts.



04 Apr 2018 23:00:40
Sad news about Ray Wilkins. You could always hear he held Rangers in high esteem when ever asked about us. Perfect gentleman and some of the accolades to him have been the mark of the man.

If I reach the ripe old age of 100 I’d still never tire of his volley against them.

Godspeed sir, thanks for the memories RIP
