Why change what was already good and working to fit around one player?

Every time I've seen McGrath on the left we look empty in midfield when there's a turnover.

You'd need to ask David Gray? I dunno why he changed shape. Just say what I see.
I spent the first 13 games calling for us to back to the old shape.
And it isn't to fit around 1 player, it was a new season with a new set of players, he must've thought it was the best way to use all 11 players.

And that's not entirely true. Very true when Mulligan is at right wing back though.
The euro games McGrath was on the left and we competed in midfield too. Mulligan is the key to our midfield, without him there's not really a midfield.

We already have a better midfielder, if he was played in his best position, Mulligan.

If his role is the same as McGrath, sitting just behind the strikers, then that’s fine as we need much better cover in that position.

As above, Mulligan is behind all that action.
I dunno if we are in for Polvara or he's got his agent making everyone aware that he's available in the summer.
But if we are, it means we're looking at that position.
We don't need that position right now, so something else must be going on. A change of shape would answer questions of why a right midfielder.

For arguments sake, we bring in this guy, and a proper right full back to compete or displace Cadden

Sallinger
RB Hanley Iredale Obita
Mulligan Chaiwa
Polvara/other---------------------McGrath
Klidje Bowie
​
Boyle option on either forward and right mid.
Youan/Hoilett option on forward and left mid.
Cadden option left mid left back.
Rocky/O'Hora option at the back
Barlaser/Newell option centre mid.

Campbell is the player most at risk here.
But if we have issues up front, injuries, suspensions... Then we have options to go 4231 and drop someone in attacking mid... Hoilett, Campbell, McGrath...

It's a lot more versatile than 3412/3421 and that'll always be a fallback mid game even required.

We have to look at new things, we're manageable opposition currently because we don't offer something different.

Where’s O’Hora ?
 
joethehibby said:
I was meaning you shouldn’t drop him, he’s arguably been our best defender , and going forward it should be
Rb O’Hora Hanley Iredale IMO 🤔

I'm still no sure about left back Iredale and I like the balance of 1 lefty 1 righty in the 2 CB spots.

Aye predominantly with lower end of the league teams.

He'd be a battering ram up here for us.

Great signing...I ken it, Hibs ken it and the media ken it 😉.

It would suit both parties perfectly. Possible World Cup Final squad wants inform guys Clarke trusts.

I’d take Dykes over Youann every day of the week.. Dykes has the ability to impact a game whereas Youann would rather be lying in his bed.

Mulligan is the guy the midfield should be built upon.
We need his drive in there.
