    let me ask you another question lads?

    if you would risk a 60% brown ? why was there an outcry last season when mcmanus wasnt fit enough to play against hearts but did?(now its not a dig at anyone only a question?)

    I wouldn't play Brown even if he was 100% fit, from what i've seen so far, N'Guemo seems to be able to do most of what Brown can, and more importantly, knows how to pass the ball. N'Guemo and Crosas in the centre of midfield for me.

    I'd risk it. I thought he played well against Sunderland and he is definately what hass been missing.
    As someone else said earlier " a 70% fit Brown is better than a 100% fit Donati".

    No doubt that if Iwas the gaffer, he'd be thrown in and told he's gotta fight for his place...

    We need everything we got on Wednesday, and I'd deff fire him up and into the middle!

    i think if we play brown he'll get injured, it just seems like last year's cycle (like with maloney, or robson, or jan in the beginning or sammy mid-season) starting up again.


    Having gotten that pessimism out of my veins, all the best Skoosh if ya do play, do us proud

    Brown isnt a risk.

    Donati is the risk, would you risk Donati when Scott Brown is able to atleast walk? :bbpd:

    Crosas or Flood won't play with N'Guemo because they are too small especially against that mob who are big in midfield. Brown is not much taller but he's big in terms of pace and power.

    Id play Brown!

    Bench.

    I wouldn't say it's even a matter of risking him, but considering how much fitter the Moscow players are there's going to be little point in playing him from the start.

    Probably play him first half.

    If we make an impact and score take him of at half time and put on Crosas, with him and N'Guemo we'd be able to keep the ball well and possilby get a wee cheeky ball forward. If we haven't made a break through put on McCourt, personally think that if they're playing very defensive that he could make a difference.

    Then again, I'm no the manager and there is probably a good reason for that.

    id play him we need his energy and we need someone who will not give moscow a second on the ball like they did to us in the first leg. IMO we back off players to much in the midfield wen we should be in their faces and not giving them a second on the ball. we allow them to play

    there was on an outcry because mcmanus was actually injured and that was hampering him where as browns not injured hes just not match fit.

    definetly risk him we need our best players out there and for me he showed enough against sunderland to suggest he is fit enough to start.

    To me it is a decision between risking brown & risking failure to qualify to the next round. i dont think donati gives us enough going foward as last week was like having to holding midfeilders at times whereas i feel brown will try to drive us foward so 60mins out of him could drive us into a position where we could be trying to win the tie with 30mins left rather than trying to get ourselfs back into it & bringing him on in a hope of a moment of magic so i would definatly start him

    Crosas and N'Guemo for me, although Brown provides legs and drive he doesn't give you a goal threat even when he is 100%.

    I'd have him on the bench and go with N'Guemo and Crosas.If we need him he could give us a good 30 mins.

    I wouldn't start him but I'd have him on the bench in case he was needed.
