Team for the semi

[ByeByeScum2012]

We go again.

The tombola will have some job with no Logan, Shinnie or McLean.

Maybe...

Woodman
Ball Arnasson McKenna Considine
O'Connor Nwakali
McGinn Christie GMS
Rooney

Rogers,Reynolds,Stewart,Maynard,May

Aye, that was the X1 I posted earlier.
You could also swap AOC & Ball?
May for Rooney I’d think too.
And you’re allowed 7 subs so add Wright & Harvie?

I thought Lewis would have been back by the time the Semi final comes round, McInnes said he should be back playing the first couple of weeks in April.

Well done to Woodman for keeping us in the cup but if Lewis is fit then he must play.

Lewis is back the week after the international break, I read last week

Whether he takes his place atween the sticks for the semi, who knows. Boot in the s****s for Freddy Boy, but, he's nae our player.

Agree with the team above, but May in for Rooney

With Logan out, surely the obvious choice is three at the back (where's the sarcastic smiley when you need it)

This was my fear, and sadly I think it will happen, despite the fact it never works.

Woodman
McGinn O'Connor Arnason McKenna Considine
Nwakali Ball
Christie
Rooney May

Likely with Rooney playing out on the left or something. McGinn with no cover behind him so having to basically play right back all night.

I would probably go with this to stay as close to our 'normal' set up... I have concerns about the defensive midfield area, but Nwakali might get a bit more game time before then and prove to be a revelation in there. Other option is swapping Ball and O'Connor around, although O'Connor is probably too slow to play right back.

Not sure if its a boot in the s****s to Woodman, he must have been told he was here as cover for Lewis and once he is fit again he will be sitting on the bench as back up to Joe.

Woodman done really well with the penalty saves last night but I dont think that guarantees his place for the semi final, his kicking is not great and he is not the best at coming out for crosses either, Motherwell will have a field day with him at corners.

Correct

Think we play Mwell 10 days afore the semi-final as well

[sheepcrooky]

Lewis might be back, but it would be touch and go, I think he will stick with Woodman.

Woodman
Ball Arnason McKenna Considine
O’Connor Nwakali
Stewart McGinn GMS
May

Having our suspensions may turn out ok. It means if we get through these guys will be available for the final (Christie loan deal notwithstanding).

Motherwell are decent, but without Moult, they are nowhere near as good. 2-0 AFC.

I'd be tempted to move Arnason into midfield and keep O'Connor at centre half based on his performance against Killie. Very good game at centre half. Far better than when he's forced into a defensive midfield role.

Arnason can at least play midfield.
