Forget bashing RM & ST for a minute.....

If you were the manager, which team would you pick, which formation would you play, what would you do differently to get away from our current form?

Lewis,
Murdoch, Durnan, Edje, Robson
King, Fyvie, Briels, McMullan
Keatings, N'koyi

Something different needs to be done/tried cos the same old, tired, dirty thing that we keep trying just isn't working.

4-4-2 or 4-3-3

Keeper takes care of itself - Lewis

Murdoch or Toshney
Any 2 from the three
Robson till Scobbie returns

McMullan
Any 2 from Briels/Fyvie/Stanton
King

N'Koyi
Keatings

McDonald - impact sub given his age

For 4-3-3

N'Koyi central
McMullan and Keatings in wider roles

The above 3 midfielders.

Would just like to see something different, just to see if it would work or improve what we are being served up

Piointless question imo as its not the formation or the team. 4231 and the team selections would be fine if the players were fired up, believing in themselves and going out there with the right mentality. They are not and no formation in the world will change that.

I would play 4-4-2 away from home, and the same or even 3-4-3 at home, and press EVERY team straight from kick off, with a high tempo attacking approach (none of this "working into the game" p!sh). We're the big team in the league, let other teams known and believe that. Play with confidence and swagger, and at the very least, give 110%. While I appreciate we will not win all games, at least show me you want to, and are doing everything you can to do so.

We had the opportunity to stamp our mark on this league from the start (with what appeared to be good signings), and get teams worried about facing us. Instead we've taking the tentative approach, got found out in a couple of games, and now lost all confidence, and other teams now fancy their chances (as they did last year).
ALL of the above IS the manager's responsibility, he's there TO MANAGE HIS TEAM OF PLAYERS, and is not doing it.

Honestly mate i wish i lived abroad so i did not have to watch a Ray McKinnon team again,having bought my season ticket i missed the first 2 home games due to work.I am self employed so it was my choice to work rather than go to the QOS and Brechin games.I was working last Saturday too but finished in time to make the Dumbarton game and after 5 minutes i felt like going home.
To see my team lining up at home with 7 defender's(keeper back 4 and 2 holding mids) and still conceding to a bunch of part timers after 5 minutes was enough for me.I did stay till the end and at least witnessed a great free kick from Keatings but it was one of the worst first half performances i have ever witnessed at Tannadice.

That's it in a nutshell mate.

The problem with the original question (although it's hypothetical) is that if I was the manager, I wouldn't have re-signed Murdoch or Flood. That money would've been spent on two proper full backs who are capable of getting up the line, supporting our wingers and getting deliveries into the box.

Another imbalanced squad assembled by a tactically inept manager whom ST appointed without even listening to what other candidates were interested and what ideas they could bring to the table.

We'll see no progression under their watch.

This wee bit has got me reflecting on the game today and i cant help but think we missed out by not going for Sibbald. I have a serious dislike for this lad, but his energy, running off the ball and desire was there for all to see! Something that some of our players should be looking at!
