I had wanted Sinisalo to start, but he may go as close to the team he has in mind for YB.. so we may even see Hatate start, which would be harsh on McCowan.

 

I don't think he will but I'd actually be tempted to rest some for young boys..

I'm glad it's at home.

 

Will need to be showing far more fight for this than we did tonight. Being at home is actually a relief at this poi t, if we were down there I'd be slightly worried.

Treble on the line here, can be no room for complacency. A new signing or 2 would be extremely welcome.

Tempted to rest CCV as well but would be surprised. 3-0 us.

 

Trusty may the price for his performance today

3-0

 

McInnes will have been watching that, as will the Young Boys manager, we need to get our act together.

I want to see what Sinisalo can do.

It's Killie though, wish Idah was playing good would have him in for Yang if he was Kyogo out left

 

Just saw elsewhere, theve got Ramsey on loan from Liverpool, decent signing, guessing he'll start

Hope not, he's better than Scales..

 

Expect a full on slog here vassell and Watkins will be buzzing if CCV and Trusty play like they did in 2nd half last night

 

Vassell is out injured just now as is the boy Innes. The thing that worries me is they will be fresh having had a week and a half to prep for this game whilst, by the 60th minute in games if teams have a go some of ours look leggy. Which shouldn’t be a surprise.

Rotation is necessary given the volume of games we have and fatigue from them but it may well be that, the rotation is actually hampering our fluency in games.

For me this is the second biggest game we have coming up, after YB. I also think we need a performance, so should be the team we plan to play against YB next Wednesday.

The problem I have is right now there are a few positions I am not sure who we should be playing given drop off in form of so many players.

He usually goes strong before CL and that side generally starts both games..

We have had an incredible amount of games, so we'll see how we go..

It's an important game.

 

Aye keep Trusty in and let him bounce back with a clean sheet hopefully.

He's shown he's a good player and can do a job for us. Shouldn't let that performance against Dundee linger in his head if we can help it.

 

Wasn't overly worried about this however, shipping goals in our last few games, failure to convert our chances and the lapses in our defence has given me cause for concern.
