Right, comfortable win here would rise our confidence sky high. It's * Falkirk, relegation battlers, so a win here is something that shouldn't be questioned.
My team would be:
Boruc
Hinkel - McManus (c) - Loovens - Fox
Mizuno/McCourt - Crosas - N'Guemo - McGinn
McDonald - Killen
With that team we could experiment even further with bringing on Josh Thompson, just to get used to competitive games. I would also slowly introduce the return of Robson and this match would be perfect for his match fitness. Now, I know Falkirk would do their best to cause trouble for us, but our defence needs to be sorted and confident of nullifying their attacks. I can see Killen's name on the scoresheet if he starts and also Skippy should get one or two.
Come on the Hoops!:50:

I hope he starts a good few fringers, McCourt, Mizuno, Zaluska and Killen.
I would also give the lad Thomson a run out.
Robson also needs the sharpness. -

could ne a good team to put out, some players need a rest, loovens has played loads, wish this was at home, that team should win the match, one things for sure i do not want to be knocked out the cup already, this is quite hardfor an early round -
I also hope to see some of the fringe players given a run out, would like to see Zaluska, Caddis, McCourt, and McGinn all given a chance, would also hope to see Robson play to get his fitness up.

defence is absolutly garbage so id give the youngsters a go,
Boruc
Caddis - Loovens - Thompson - Misun
Maloney - N'Guemo - Robson - McGeady
McDonald - Killen
Not much attacking options but if there where any more strikers available i would play them over McDonald.
Hopefully we get a confidence boosting win, something like 4 or 5-0

think it will be a tough game so we shoudnt play too weak a team.

Spot on. I want Robson and McManus on the park for match fitness. -
We have a congested fixture list ahead, so i'd like to see us use this opportunity to give a game to our players who have been struggling for first team opportunities.
--------------Zaluska--------------
Caddis--Thomson--McManus--Naylor
Mizuno--Flood--Zhi--Robson--McCourt
---------------Killen----------------
Crosas in for Zhi if either his paperwork isn't trough or he's simply not fit enough. -

That's a good shout actually, I'm looking forward to seeing Zhi in action.

There are a few people I'd definitely like to see get crucial match time. On the other hand we don't want to be disrupting the structure too much. Perhaps:
................................Zaluska.................................
Hinkel........Caldwell..................McManus............Fox..
...........................................................................
...............Crosas...............Robson.......................
McGinn.................................................Maloney......
................Killen...............McDonald.........................
Will be important for Killen and McDonald to forge a decent relationship, also would like to see McCourt brought on for a significant spell (30 mins perhaps). Crosas and Robson desperately need to show why they should be playing ahead of the misfiring Brown and N'Guemo. Also a Zhi cameo of 10 mins or so would be nice.
