    Best XI ... Sept 2023

    Aye aye guys .... jist thought it might be a welcome diversion .... winna numb the pain, but maybe tak oor minds aff it

    Fit d'ye think oor best XI is right now ... albeit based on very little ...?

    Ah'll go first cos Ah dinna gie a fuuck aboot makin' a feel o' masel ...

    Goalie ... Roos .. nae contest,

    Defence .... hmm ... in spite o' the Farts defeat, Ah thought Rubezic had his best game for us so far ... nae sayin much ... but nah, nae in my defence.
    Ah think McKenzie is as maybe nae AS good, but has DONE as good any we've signed so far ... but Jensen dis look like he is worth that left back role ...

    Right back ... got tae be Devlin.... in a back 4 where he can go forward and link wi a wide mid ... or even a winger??

    McDonald right centre back.

    Gartenmann looks like he could be a good centre half, in a sweeper role, but Ah think he could thrive as defensive mid .... might even be that elusive Ramadani replacement.

    Jensen appears tae be half decent at left centre back in a 3, and Ah think he would dae fine at left CB in a 4 .. so McKenzie goes tae left FB ... where he has done fine previously ... and wi' his ability tae tak the baa forward doon the left.... an' nae lose it ower often!

    So Ah'm goin wi a 4-1-3-2

    Up front? ... Oooh ... Miovski has earned his place ... even in oor worst games ... Duk? ... hmmm ... maybe needs a bit o' 'rehab' ... but, is there anybody done better? ... Sokler maybe? .... Ah think Ah'd stick wi Duk.... on condition he dis a good first 45 mins ... if he wants tae play the second half.

    Midfield .... oh fk! ...

    If Gartenmann diz as good a job playin in front o' a back four as Ah reckon he would, then oor mid should consist o' 3 forward mids ... right, left an' centre.

    R and L would need tae be able tae play wide ... like fkn wingers! ... sadly, options are limited. Duncan can dae the left, Ah like Duncan a lot, and think he'll only get better ... but for now, McGarry looks better.

    On the right? Morris is injured, Besuijen would be my first choice, but he's pretty much oot the picture. Ah might be wrang, but Ah think Dadia can play there, but nae evidence yet he will be ony good.... and Ah canna think o' anybody in oor squad fa can play wide right/right wing (ither than Hayes!).

    Gueye played mainly left attackin mid yesterday and ... jist fkn no! .... He has a decent track record, but disna understand Scottish fitba!

    Shinnie has tae play. Clarkson is too good for the bench ...

    And so .... wi one hell o' a good squad on paper,

    Ah would still be puttin' oot a team Ah wisna entirely happy wi. unless it worked! ... and that team is ....

    Roos
    Devlin, McDonald, Jensen, McKenzie,
    Gartenmann,
    Shinnie, Clarkson, McGarry,
    Miovski, Duk.

    4-1-3-2?

    If a 3-5-2 becomes favourable at any point? ... Gartenmann drops tae MCB ... Devlin and McKenzie become wing backs ... easy.

    4-3-3? ... Gartenmann moves forward allowin either o' Shinnie, Clarkson or McGarry tae try bein a striker ... although, Ah'd rather we had a decent right sided player tae tak on that role .... onywye ....

    Come on then ye radges, Ah've stuck ma neck oot ... chap it aff ... or dae likewise wi' yer ain neck
