This.

Ross has some very big decisions to make here. Stick with 442 where McMann Cudjoe and Harkes have all struggled or change to a back 3 to get wing backs higher up to support our attack.

Going with a back 4 at Killie maybe suggests he prefers a 4. IMO Freeman offers a more attacking threat on the right than Smith and Cudjoe have so far.

Does he start Behich? Could Niskanen add pace to get at them and cause uncertainty?

I sense that Ross will play a bit safe. I think he'll keep faith in Harkes. I think this is the team he'll play

Birighitti
Smith Edwards Mulgrew Behich
Middleton Sibbald Levitt Harkes
Fletcher Watt

Maybe Middleton on the left in front of Behich instead of on the right as listed above.
Wouldn't be surprised if he persists with Cudjoe at the expense of Middleton.

I'd prefer

Birighitti
Edwards Mulgrew Graham
Freeman Sibbald Levitt Niskanen Behich
Fletcher Watt

I'd ask Niskanen to interchange with Behich, covering the space behind him when he gets forward. If we're still not ahead by 60 minutes sub Niskanen for Middleton.

I'd do the same interchange thing with Freeman/Sibbald.
We need to get support up to Watt/Fletcher, get in behind if possible, get crosses in when possible and imo Freeman Niskanen and Behich will do more of that than Smith Harkes and Cudjoe. Pace, commit defenders, surprise, disrupt.

It'll be interesting to see what Ross does.

If Behich is anywhere near close to fit, he starts imo. McMann has been really poor the last few games. I do think Ross favours 4 at the back. I also think Cudjoe will be dropped. He was great pre-season but totally flopped at the weekend for some reason.

100% spot on mate,Terence McCann has looked washed up in the ring after a very promising opening couple of bouts.Funny enough i started calling TTT Terence after watching auld episodes of Minder where Arthur(George Cole) refers to Terry by his Sunday name.

We had Terence McCann and Pat Butcher but now there's only one...
Buster Edwards anyone?

IIRC Ross favoured a back 4 at Hibs and St Mirn?

Evert time GB posts now I'm going to picture him in a camel hair coat and trilby paying for his match tickets with a brown envelope in the pub. Saying daylight robbery, a liberty my son, do you want the shirt off my back?


Only kidding GB 😁
