Smith can play on the wing. His crosses are about as good as Foster's. So....

 

                Langfield

 

Foster  Diamond  Considine  Mulgrew

 

                  Seve

Young                                  Aluko

                  Smith

 

            Miller        Mackie

 

Thinking Wright needs a couple of games under his belt to get his fitness up. He's just back from injury so once he bangs in a few providing the strikers aren't scoring he'll replace Miller.

If JC were to put some of the players in the positions suggested in this thread, he'd need to do a Paterson to leave Pittodrie.

 

Those putting Considine or Zander at left back need therapy. :wave:

 

Who did?

I dont think he will replace miller either but then again mackie is jimmy,s golden boy

But that was why JC bought Wright to give competition to Miller. Jc has always played "big guy and smaller fast paced guy" up front. Brewster/Crawford at Dunfermline example. So a Miller/Wright strike force wouldn't work cause they are to similar. When and if Wright starts banging them in I could see him replacing Miller. This is good for the dons though cause it'll cause some healthy competition for places.

I don't understand that reasoning, what are you basing it on?  :-\

 

I think this is the 11 that JC will start with if everyone's available to him.

 

                  Langfield

 

Foster - Diamond - Severin - Mulgrew

 

Smith - Kerr - McDonald - Aluko

 

              Mackie - Miller

 

However, I'd quite like to see us play a 4-5-1, now that we've got two good wide players and a couple of good sitting players, just to see how we get on.

 

                  Langfield

 

Foster - Diamond - Considine - Mulgrew

 

                 Kerr - Seve

 

       Smith - McDonald - Aluko

 

                    Miller

Only problem with this formation is that we're relying heavily on the 11 that are starting, as they're all ideal for the position they'd play in.  A 4-4-2 enables us to chop and change players with very little difference.

Exactly the team I was gonna suggest. Though we have enough trouble scoring goals, I'm not sure a lone striker is such a good idea. I'd like to see us try it though.

Sounds very tombola-esq ;D

 

Like it though!

 

 

I see it as more utilising the versatility of players and if going 343 its putting most players bar seve in  arguably their best positions.  I.e.  mulgrew and foster in midfield and smith and aluko up front
