    Delighted to see McGregor starting, potentially huge for us.

    Also great to see Calmac is back.

    Not a bad starting 11, only letdown is Maeda on the bench rather than starting but what can you do. Understand as well starting Abada given his form but don't know if I wouldn't prefer Forrest given his experience with the fixture. So excited man, massive night.

    Personally would prefer having Ralston at rb in the 11 over Taylor.

    Maeda off the bench should be game changing.

    Then there is the energy that should have more than enough to control the game in McGregor, Hatate and O'Riley. Can't wait to see that pairing.

    If Abada and Jota are on form then their full backs could struggle with their direct style of play.

    Could look at allowing Abada and Maeda to play up top and take of Giakoumakis in the second half.

    They field a midfield for going forward (Aribo, Kamara, Arfield). This game will be won and lost in midfield, CalMac in the starting XI means all the difference. Bring it on!

    Ralston would have made sense and Juranovic on left but the manager gets paid for these decisions and hes not been that wrong so far :ange:

    Think they'll have a go at us, have to dictate the game and take our chances.

    In the first game against the Klan, it proved to be a mistake to start Kyogo out left.

    Taylor is the weakest player in our starting XI. The Huns will be targeting him.

    If they have a go we should easily play through them. We have home advantage. Midweek under the lights , 60,000 going tonto and a team built to attack and press, if they come on to us we really should pick them apart.

    What can we do about that?

    Target their weaknesses maybe?

    It looks now going by that bench we need to win this game in the first hour as we have no attacking midfielders on the bench and might have to throw on soro and McCarthy with 20 minutes to go to protect a lead .

    Being worried af Taylor gets done time and again isn't a concern of yours? I watch the Huddle Breakdown, do you? Because it's obvious from the data according to Juco James and Alan on the show that Taylor struggles badly with pacy wingers, it's football suicide starting him against their new winger, hopefully the Man Utd player * himself in the atmosphere but the smarter decision was to go with Juranovic at LB
