    Some amount of panty wetters here, yeah last night's second half was disappointing but away from home in a knockout tie against champions of their country was never going to be an easy 90 mins.

    At home to Killie on a proper grass pitch we should be too much for them, even off the back of the euro game and if Broony is out. This is where we need to utilise our strength in depth.

    I actually think it's riskier to not rotate and give our regulars a break, more chance they'll be injured and miss 'bigger' games that are coming up. The likes of Rogic, Ely, Klimala/Bayo should be getting game time in this one.

    Well said, from a fellow member of the 'Dry Y-fronts Emerald'



    ...although I was given a 1 week ban from the CSC for failing to adhere to the rules after McGregor's goal at Fir Park.

    Tricky game to come back to Killie could be tired from their extra time game midweek but they will still kick lumps out of our guys and sit in waiting to catch us on the break

    Just know that it's going to be Bitton for Brown..

    Surely they will look at how dynamic a three of McGregor, Christie and Rogic/Ntcham was last season.

    Killie wont come and attack.. they will sit in and try to nick something

    We really should be winning this game with a comfortable 2-0 . Hope we find a groove and the conditions are good. Need to get our mojo back, Sheep away we were poor and second half away to Copenhagen we were also poor.

    Nice solid win and some crisp passing should be the priority. Killie having that midweek game should even things up so should be a comfortable afternoon

    We should be bowling these over 3-0.

    McGregor Ntcham Christie midfield, maybe even start Rogic because he hasn't put a foot wrong when coming off the bench.

    Hopefully we go with a 3 of mcgregor, christie, ntcham, Bitton's decent enough cb cover these days but he really slows our play when playing cm.

    I'd like to see Soro get a run. We might need him on Thursday if Broony's not fit. Looks energetic (on youtube - I know that's just his best bits) and might be just what we need even if he comes off the bench.

    With Brown probably going to miss, it’s a good opportunity to see how the midfield will cope/operate without him.

    Forster

    Jozo
    Jullien
    Ajer


    Frimpong
    McGregor
    Christie
    Ntcham/Rogic
    Elyounoussi

    Edouard
    Griffiths

    What's going on with our new signings we spend 5.5 million on two players and they seem to have went into hiding .

    I totally agree. I would assume after last night that Brown will be out for Sunday. So for me I would play McGregor in Brown's deeper role and then play Ntcham and Rogic or Christie in front of him. Christie is suspended Thursday so he should start Sunday and for me I would want Rogic in from the start on Thursday so i would push Christie out to the left to start play Rogic for an hour or so and then move Christie into the middle when we sub for Rogic.
