Our second SPL fixture & first home game of the season. After maybe a flattering win on Wednesday we still need to get things right in preparation for the CL play off on Wednesday.
With that in mind I hope we start and finish with whoever is likely to play next week. Always a chance someone will get injured but hopefully we can get another win under the belt and improve on our performance.

I completely agree, start with the Maribor side and formation. Tough game mind you, slightly worried over this one.
-
United have the capacity to do us if we don't find a formation suited to our players..
If we are going to persist with this playing style I would start with a similar team who finished the saints match, I think that team looked better tbh. I'm going with a score draw.. 2-2. -

The one benefit to starting so poorly is that i'll be genuinely up for this game, makes it more exciting knowing we're nowhere near looking at a nailed on win!
In all seriousness, Jackie's got these boys playing very well, a victory here would put us in good stead for Maribor. -

I'd like to try that, Ambrose as DM may work nicely. I thought Berget had a good physical presence about him on Wednesday and would be better at holding up play and laying it off than Stokes was. Seems to have a good touch and be adept at short, quick interchangesLast edited by a moderator: Aug 14, 2014 -

Have I missed something? Why's no one picking Commons?
Anyway, this will be a good test to get us ready for the Champions League qualifier. -

With 1 of Ambrose/kayal/Henderson coming on for one of the front 4 to close the game out -
Tough game by all expectations, we will have to be at our best to get anything out of this I feel.

I like this though I'd maybe put Bitton in for Derk and move McGregor forward. Alternatively I'd go:
Gordon
Mathews -- Lustig -- Virgil -- Izzy
Forrest -- Kayal -- Johansen -- McGregor

Personally I didn't put him in mines because I thought it was a straight fight between him and McGregor for the behind the striker role. McGregor is currently playing better than him so I put him in.
Wouldn't be unhappy to see him starting obviously. -

Only been a handful of games mate. I'm sure he'll come good soon :50:
I just think that we need his experience for Marribor and we'll need him fit so even give him 60/70 minutes against United. But you're right, wee McGregor is looking good. -

Think that front 4 is more suited to the new style we're trying to play.
