After the frustration of last Tuesday i have no idea what to expect this Saturday but will return to Tanadice in the usual optimistic hope that things will just suddenly click.

Will Robbie change from what we have seen so far or will he continue with the same tactics that are frustrating so many? My biggest hope is that we do not see Clark’s name in the starting 11. Cammy Smith alongside Shankland would be my pick but if not then the nod has got to go to Appere who has done a lot of good in pre season but ideally i’d having him coming off the bench after 70 mins to run the hopefully tired Inverness backline about. Biggest problem for me in selection is who plays attacking left? I cant see a youngster getting the nod and other than playing Smith out there the only other option is Robson ahead of Sporle and i realy don’t like that much. With under a week to go until start of the season i would have liked another winger option. The bench is going to need to start looking a lot stronger if we are to challenge this season.

Inverness will turn up with the usual hard to beat and kick anyone who dares to pass them approach. We are missing a player in Pawlett still from Donaldson’s (my pick for worst ever United center half) wild tackle in the away playoff game!

My starting 11.
