    On form Brown can do the most damage to the opposition but I think that Robson is our best overall.

    I'd play 3

    Boruc

    Caddis Caldwell O'Dea Fox

    Nguemo
    Crosas ------ Brown

    Sammy ------------- McGeady

    Fortune or Skippy​


    But if I had to pick 2...Crosas and Brown

    I think the fact that it needs discussing shows the current state of the team,anyway for me it's Crosas and Robson and with the market we are operating in now i'd sign Gomis from Dundee Utd

    Its all about opinions mate,for one, of all our center mids he's the only one who would reach double figures if given a full season add to that he's the only one of centre mids who can take a free kick.While i know he's by no means a great player hes as good as anything we have at the moment.

    I'm not happy with any pairing we have at the moment, but if pushed I'd pick N'Guemo and Robson, although I'd like to see Flood getting a chance.

    I would pick N'Guemo and Crosas or Brown and one of them when he's back fit.

    crosas and healthy brown.

    hwo to improve.... Marc has got to start taking some shots from the top of the box. He has shown an occassional decent long shot and I'd hope he'd improve that skill

    We're so poor just now that no-one, not even Mowbray, knows what our best pairing is, all of our players have had extremely poor games at some point of the season so far so it's hard to decide who's the best of a bad lot at times :54:

    we don't know the best central midfield partnership because we have been chopping and changing it too often in my opinion, we have to have a consistent balance in the middle of the park, right now i would pick crosas and nguemo

    I agree with this partnership, 1 sits & protects the back 4 the other sprays the passes, in my opinion Crosas is the best passer of the ball in our side.. I like Scott Brown & Robson aswell tho, but liked how the N'Guemo/ Crosas partnership worked a couple of weeks ago.. In the couple of games Mowbray tried them..

    Oh for a Collins and McStay. The best understanding midfield pair I've seen in the Hoops.

    One stays one goes, both goal threat, both great defending.

    Crosas and Brown probally!
    Then Crosas and Yeung come January!

    This would be good:

    ----------Crosas-----Yeung----------
    ------------------Zhi-----------------
    McCourt------------------------McGeady

    Technically a very good midfield!

    I could agree with that, mostly. Not sureabout sammy out wide but he does tend to drift wide or deep. but that is what i would try work with coz brown when he 1st came showed alot more skill than he does now and crosas is without a doubt our most gifted, technical player who can only ge better
