oaksoft Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hodson played very well today but I OK is pretty loyal and I think will stick with Musek. I suspect he might put Cooke in Mullen's position and retain Lyons. Nothing else will change IMO. Oh and I genuinely can't see anything other than a good win for us on Thursday providing the players play with as little fear as possible.

buddies1877 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Nothing but huge respect for Cody was so easy for him to take the huff with all the other Stubbs additions but he’s kept his head down worked away done his best whenever called up on.I’d start him up front alone v Utd then up top with Danny at home.

Sweeper07 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Interesting views - all fair and reasoned. Here is mine for what it is worth Hodson replaces Lyons and Cooke on with Mullen for the start. McAllister to come on as required Muzek is our best LB - give him a chance to recover for only his 2nd bad mistake all season . . . More from Magennis in these next two also... Tighter defensively also - today was poorer than we have been for months . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would make more of an impact starting instead of Lyons...in last 6 or 7 games we have only scored goals when he went off park...think he gives his all but is a terrible footballer...

I don't think playing one target man is the best option anyway. Plays into hands of united centre backs. The smaller more mobile lone striker has worked well. Particularly effective in getting our opponents red cards when ball played into space for striker to run onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Whether we like it or not, cheat McMullen is a big player for them and will be a huge threat down our left flank . We need to play whoever is best to match him for speed and try to nullify the threat he can provide . Neither Hodson or Muzek are particularly swift but I’d rather have Muzek as a natural left footed defender . Will be a big test . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he was on fire on Friday night, has his tail up and looking at us yesterday, and United will have watched that closely, he will be looking to cause havoc. Need some support from the midfield.

Sonny Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 If Jackson is fit I'd have him in before Mullen. Would like two up front - Jackson and Cooke. And Muzek has been great for us - would have him starting as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanfranko, Clark and Sow are all capable of goals. I am not saying any of them are top Premiership class, but we need to be tighter at marking than we were against Dee yesterday. 11 minutes ago, Isle Of Bute Saint said: McMullen has a weak spot we have all seen.

Last time we were well beaten in the middle of the park too. This is why we need to get right in about them and give them no time to think. Hodson, McGinn, Flynn and Magennis for me in their. Muzek and Popescu need to bring their A game for this one too after poorer games against Dee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Muzek has been great for us - would have him starting as usual.I'd prefer Mullen to start. Jackson has been effective whenever he's come on as a sub.Also like to see Cooke start but I suspect we'll take a more conservative approach and OK will stick with his favoured formation, trying to make us hard to beat, with only one up front.

You have to play fair Ricky but there is nothing wrong in playing to a weekends that's why I wrote clean and hard. It's going to be some contest Very exciting end to the season. Was surprised to hear Thommo on Sportscene say Cook won't start. I would start him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
