The OP prediction of Robbie's team is probably spot on. Cammy Smith's not played much pre-season/LC so I'd be surprised if he starts and Neilson will definitely play Robson left midfield against ICT. Until Pawlett's back or the Nicholson transfer magically transpires we're stuck with that, I'm afraid. He won't take a chance on Banks or Chalmers in the league. Not yet anyway.
I think It'll be a draw. I don't, however, subscribe to the popular theory on here that we MUST get off to a flier. We've got by far the strongest squad in the league and I think that will tell over the course of the season. This will not be a scoosh. Anyone who thinks so hasn't been paying attention the past few years.
