    That's my team.

    It'd give players a good run out whilst resting a lot of our top dogs.

    Huns and, more importantly, Aberdeen can't afford to rest anyone in their bids to pick up points. There's levels to this game.

    It'll be Nawrocki or Welsh. Even AJ could go in the middle with Ralston at right back.

    We should have enough regardless.

    I think it'd be stupid not to rotate tbh.

    CCV shouldn't be playing on that surface ever if we can help it.

    We have the squad depth to be able to beat Killie.

    It's only 5 games between this game and the last but the last would've taken its toll. We also have games coming thick and fast and the international break is a pain for us because we have more men called up than the rest of the league combined.

    We need to use the squad over this period, not just at the end when people start to feel fatigue or injuries. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

    Aye Nawrocki or Welsh, I was more asking what bleak option people would prefer there? Before Falkirk I’d have unquestionably have said Welsh, but undecided now.

    One thing I’d never have is AJ in the middle. Seen him as a back 3 RCB for Canada and he was shocking. And he’s in the form of his career just now, wouldn’t * about with that. If we had to play one of them as a CB I’d shift Ralston in there before AJ. But it’s a straight shoot out between Rocky and Welsh.

    Aye, I'm in the same boat. Budge up.

    Nawrocki definitely first pick ahead of the rest.

    We're never going to get a fourth choice center back the can be up there with Scales, CCV and Trusty.

    Tricky if Trusty, CCV, Kuhn and Kyogo are carrying knocks. All 3 Japanese lads away with their NT too.

    Want to just get a win here, and let anyone who's struggling recover.

    Maybe something like:

    Kasper
    AJ - Nawrocki - Scales - Taylor
    CalMac
    Bernardo - McCowan
    Forest - Idah - Daizen
    Reckon that team would have enough about it to get the job done if we bring on the likes of Kyogo, Hatate and Kuhn. Maybe would be smarter to start more 1st picks, and take them off at 60 mins.

    I’m ecstatic at having 3 options that can perform at such a high level. Scales has found himself on the bench, and has probably been our best CB this season. 2 MOTM awards in the CL, outstanding in the league, was a stand out against the Huns.

    And yet, I don’t disagree with CCV and Trusty getting the nod. Harsh on Scales still but can’t argue with the decision and what we see from it so far either. We have 3 first choices, with 2 positions available.

    Then we have a drop to an emergency option for 4th. We’ve utterly wasted Welsh’s potential, I like him, but we’ve * what could have been there. Not a youngster anymore, injury prone, not played much football.

    Welsh, from what I’ve seen last year, I still think was better than Nawrocki. But I don’t know who I’d pick.

    I don't really enjoy this fixture. * pitch and kille are a tough nut to crack. Any sort of win and no injuries would do me.

    Schmeichel
    Johnston
    Trusty
    Scales
    Valle
    McGregor
    Bernardo
    McCowan
    Kuhn
    Maeda
    Idah

    I would like to rest Kuhn but our alternatives are terrible. If we can get off to a flyer get Kuhn off early for Yang or Forrest.

    Hope not.

    Kuhn missing would be a big loss, and if both of those centre backs are out it could be quite uncomfortable.

    Apparently rested as a precaution, I think Trusty will start CCV as a sub Scales coming in. Plastic pitch playing a part in that decision as well.

    Kuhn I think we could push to play, but he is struggling with that ankle definitely, and a physical team on a shoddy out of date fake grass pitch? Letting him skip it, and have that rest properly between that and Internationals, not risk a longer injury for him - I wouldn’t be surprised if thats what we do either. Yang seems to be the backup though. I do not like that.

    If Kuhn is missing, an option we’ll never actually do that I’d go for, Maeda RW, Palma LW.

    We need to look at the options on the wing come January but Palma’s the 3rd besf option for me. Forrest is a steady option. Yang a wildcard but seems to be the 3rd choice
