Squad and Best 11

[Don_Corleone]

We’re poor defensively & if Cosgrove goes we need a good replacement.
We have no specialised left back.

Of the current squad, I’d go with a 4-4-1-1.

Lewis
Hernandez Taylor McKenna Considine
Kennedy Ferguson Ojo Hayes
McGinn
Cosgrove

Subs; Cerny, Logan, Bryson, McGeouch, McLennan, Main & Anderson

No place in 18 for some decent players:
Devlin, Campbell, Hedges

I think I would probably go with that formation and lineup too - I think Hayes is wasted at LB, so would want him on the wing. Hernandez is unproven but you've got to assume that given the price we paid for him, he will be better than an ageing Logan. I'm unsure who should be in the CM - Ferguson is a dead cert, but no idea who will work best alongside him - might be a bit of trial and error between Ojo, McGeouch and Bryson. For that very reason, I actually think D31's lineup is probably more likely to be the one McInnes will favour, as it allows him to fit in more of his CMs.

Lewis

Hernandez Taylor McKenna Considine

Hayes Ferguson Ojo Bryson McGinn

Cosgrove

I do also wonder whether to accomodate the 3 CMS we might get a 352 sometimes...

McGinn Cosgrove

I wonder if this could be close, but also doubt were going with 2 up front (unless there is a complete change in ethos)

A team DM might more likely consider would be

..................Lewis
......Taylor McKenna Considine
Hernandez.......................Hayes
....................Ojo
......Ferguson........Bryson / McGeouch
.................McGinn
................Cosgrove

albeit, rumours that Cosgrove may be injured so potentially Main / Anderson in there

Attacking, we become a 3-1-4-1-1, with Hernandez and Hayes pushing forward
Defending, we become a 5-1-3-1, with McGinn dropping into the right hand side of Ferguson

I can also easily see Kennedy and McGinn being swapped out
