Tannadice under the lights. A great chance to consolidate our league position and keep the Mutton molesters bottom. Hopefully the break has refreshed the players and given the coaching staff an opportunity to work on the defence.
Is this team picking itself now or would you change something?
Same starting line-up for me. Although we only drew against Hibs the performance was one that served up a great match for everyone who watched it. It would be harsh to make changes when you can see what we are trying to do.
I feel sorry for Craig Sibbald, he hasn't done anything wrong and always gives 100% but......... the way we are playing just now, and the system we are using means he might have to wait a wee while longer.
Unless Jim thinks it's horses for courses and plays him in games where we need more power in the engine room.
Same team for me on Tuesday, with a wee team talk on letting 6-foot-4 centre backs attack the ball if it's not in the six yard box.
I don't feel sorry for him as such, took him awhile to rediscover his form which only really was beginning of this season and with our injury record it won't be long until he is back in the side playing his part
Be a really difficult game, those signings they made will make a difference
Three home games but we need to make it a tougher place to leave with any points, I've felt more confident on the road this year than at home
WTF??? I've had to unblock you (briefly) coz you are obviously commenting on my Sibbald comment.Quote:

If we are going with two in middle then Sevelj gets the nod for me, and if Luca wasn't now holding onto RWB he'd be ahead of him too in middle
Was kind of hoping for a ssb equaliser here so they endure extra time but then they could go onto win and feel better ahead of Tuesday, so catch 22
It doesn't matter who plays where in any midfield formation. Sibbald must be feeling a wee bit left out, considering he has played well, when given the chance.
When Strain is ready, do we move Luca into midfield full-time, causing more positional issues? (not convinced Strain can handle outside pace)
Anyhooo, it could be a lot worser.... B)
Craig's a very experienced pro and I'm sure JG will have reassured him that his time will come. In fact he would have been starting on Tuesday night if it hadn't been for our successful appeal against the Svelje red.
The problem for players like Craig Sibbald and Ryan Strain is that we have recruited an improved Stephenson and captured Pan Camara.
My biggest fear is that JG puts Strain right back in when he's fit and shoehorns Stevenson into the middle of midfield where I don't think hes that great, hes a right sided player only imo and Strain is his back up for now at least.Quote:
