Team for boro

[Verdad]

For me

 

[585 = never give up]

I personally think that's our best 11 & it's a winning side

Connolly for the Viking

I worry that centre midfield will be overrun again. I'd prefer 3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1.

I suppose Critch will do what he usually does, and that will be to use a formation (& the players) that will best suit this particular game. I always fail when I try to second guess him.
Up the Critch and UTMP

We need to start getting some decent possession - 29% isn't going to ease the pressure.

Although it never felt like that

Let’s hope whoever is leading the line puts chances away I’m looking forward to it

To gain more possession in midfield , could Stewart , Dougall & Wintle all play together , but I guess we sacrifice a body upfront !

 

[CGP1]

Yes I've wondered that. Kenny talked about asking to play further up the pitch, after his Wembley goals, but he isn't a flair attacking mid so it would be three of the same. it would give us more solifity though, especially away, with the option to hook one and replace with more attacking width if needed.

 

[Middxile]

Pool packed the midfield last term.
This season they have emptied it.

3-5-2 with Carey in the midfield, he was outstanding when we beat them 3 nil

 

[This is Ska]

The only thing I would perhaps change from the O/Ps team is Madine up top, holding Yates or Lavery back to come on later.
