Correct.
I think there's goals in Mikkelson but not from the way we play at the moment. Asking Mikkelson to chase long balls or high punts up to him is no good at all. He needs a wide player who can turn defenders get them facing their own goal, down to the byeline for cutbacks or crosses. Been pasted on here for suggesting this before but I'll say it again, if Scobbie is fit play him at LB and move Robson in front of him with the dual job of protecting Scobbie and then getting forward to link with McMullan .
edit this is while Fraser is unavailable
Too many "ifs" and "buts" and the season is almost over - other teams have players injured too.
United have handed St Mirren the title on a plate - lets call it an early xmas gift.
We still have time to get ready for the play offs - it won't be easy, but if the team can hit a winning run and keep a clean sheet the player's will start to believe promotion is possible via the play offs.
Play 2 wingers and 2 forwards rest of season. We are mince, so why not just go for it. Leave 2 in the middle who can get about the park.
King Stanton Flood McMullan
McDonald Mikkelsen
Even with Fyvie & Fraser fit I would go 4-4-2 with players we have at our disposal.
Would like to see at Livi:
Lewis
Murdoch
Durnan
Scobbie
Mason
Gillespie
Stanton
Flood
Mcmullan
Mikkelson
King
Lewis
Murdo Durnan Scobbie Mason
Gillespie Flood Stanton King
McMullan Mikkelsen
Robson deserves to be dropped IMHO, been honking for a few weeks.
Lewis needs dropped or that may just cost us promotion. But Robson has done really well with Scobbie beside him and Fyvie and others to cover his forays up the wing. Now they are not there, Robson has not been himself but i hope the break between games will help give him a rest and allow Edje and Scobbie time to get back.
Hopefully Doc does go to RB, but i really dont understand the whole Ballantyne thing.
Flood is another who needs to be dropped as he is not good enough any more to do everything on his own! I would use Gillespie in there with Stanton and try King and Lyng on the wings. Mikkelsen and McMullan up top might need a couple of games to strike up a partnership.
