Team for the derby

[Mr_Brightside]

Murdoch and Keatings could be fit. McDonald and Matty Smith back from Suspension. Fyvie added and even N'koyi is back training. With all of these players available what we thinking for the team for tomorrow? First time in a while McKinnon will a selection headache!

My team would be:

Lewis
Murdoch
Durnan
Edge
Scobbie
Fyvie
Briels
King
McMullen
Fraser
McDonald

Subs:
Memhet
Keatings
Stanton
M.Smith
Allardice
N'koyi
Toshney


It's nice seeing a bench that could change a game.

Lewis
Toshney Edge Durnan Scobbie

McDonald Keatings

Old school 442. How would The Dees cope if they found a central strike partnership facing them? Likewise if we were up against a central strike partnership, how would we cope?

[Daly9]

Lewis
Toshney Durnan Edje Scobbie
Briels Fyvie
King Stanton McMullan
McDonald

Would be my preferred starting line up.
First derby showed Deacon is their real threat on right hand side. Having McMullan's pace covering instead of Fraser will be a big help. If Fyvie can also do a job on Allan then we'll limit number of opportunities they have.

They're struggling at centre half so get McDonald dragging them about from the start and we have 3 direct runners in McMullan, Stanton and King to exploit the gaps.

[tHeArAb]

Absolutely no way Stanton can be dropped. I'd go with this:

Lewis
Murdoch Durnan Edje Scobbie
Briels Fyvie
Fraser Stanton McMullan
McDonald

but think it'll be this:

Lewis
Toshney Durnan Edje Scobbie
Briels Stanton
King Fraser McMullan
McDonald

There are four or five players who would usually be first-pick not going to get a starting place.
How to shoehorn Fraser in, I don't know.
He may have his critics but he's still our most creative player.

He's probably our most talented player, too. Amazes me the abuse he gets at times. However, I reckon Stanton is better suited to a derby.

For me I reckon we should be starting anyone who hasn't had a full 90 minutes in the last week or so, even Quinn if he signs. I know it's them but it's more important we get as many of the main squad up to speed as soon as possible.

[Juicy Fruit]

I'd like to see 4-4-2, with the midfield a flat 4 when defending and pushing into a diamond formation when attacking.

Lewis
Toshney, Edge, Durnan, Scobbie
Stanton, Briels, Fyvie, McMullen
Keatings, McDonald

Subs;
Mehmet, Murdoch, Robson, Flood, Fraser, M. Smith, N'Koyi

Lewis
Toshney Durnan Edge Robson
Briels Flood
King Stanton McMullan

Deniz Scobbie Murdoch Fyvie Fraser McDonald Keatings


Some bench, don't think a few are ready for starts hence my selection, ideally it would be a bit different with Murdoch/Fyvie/Keatings/McDonald definitely starting

Deacon had Scobbie on toast so would try Robson tomorrow

[dundeeunitedfc83]

Lewis
Murdoch durnan edge scobbie
Briels fyvie stanton
Keatings mcdonald McMullan

Harsh on king but against Dundee would rather play 3 in the middle to watch up with them, would start keatings on the right to cut in shoot and I would also play him for his set pieces! Would like to see us play 4-4-2 for rest of season after Dundee

This for me ...

Lewis

Briels fyvie stanton
Keatings mcdonald McMullan

Hope we don't drop Stanton and would love to see Keatings and McDonald on, but wonder if match fitness issues will keep Keatings and Fyvie on the bench.
