Firstly, hope this game makes it, with temps being -5 leading up to Saturday.
Nitty gritty time for us now, we can't afford County winning this and pulling right away, leaving only Motherwell and St Johnstone (barring they don't win too) around us, doubt Aberdeen will be down here for much longer. they've 2 games in hand too. Hibs and Killie home games look a lot tougher too, so for me County is a must win, to take some pressure off the players and help them going into the Hibs game with more belief/confidence.
It'll no doubt be scrappy, so first goal is crucial, which brings me to my next point, we need to be set up more attacking, having players in proper positions to attack. If Nouble is playing, get him further up the wing so he can do some damage up there, even though he isn't doing it enough, the odd time he makes a run it causes opposition problems and gives us a chance of scoring. Also need natural WB's, just play Brandon at RWB, imo he's the best option, him and Nouble would work well, or Penrice and Nouble on the left, switching about. Anderson needs wingers and attacking mids helping get the ball into the box for him to finish, that's where he's at his best, not standing up front isolated, expected to do something against CB's standing marking him as the ball is lumped high into the air.
Anyway, lets just get in about them and have a go, we're fighting to stay up just now and need big performances in December.
I'd like us to line up something like this.
...... Shamal
.. Nottingham Obileye Devlin
Brandon Holt Sangare Penrice
..... St Kelly Anderson Nouble
