    Could easily have given both a half alongside Klimala.

    Hope I'm wrong but team selection not inspiring confidence. One striker (and not even our best striker) and Ntcham in midfield so will be like playing with 10 men. Really worried now.

    Seems like every big game Lenny hasn't had our best 11 available.. Another big decision let's hope this one works.

    I like it, it's a ballsy team and players out to prove,

    Paddy has the drive to get at them and will run circles round goldson.

    Game is make or break for Welsh, he's part of the squad so I've faith in him plus he's got Duffy and ajer in there next to him.

    Laxalt is a quality player and an unknown to the huns, he'll come good.

    He should’ve went 4-2-3-1 for this.

    Lenny once again doing his stupid make or break moves again. Like last year playing Mikey Johnston up front or playing McGregor left back. Trying to make himself look like a tactical genius but we all know he is not.

    And we've all the firepower to unleash second half, GRIFF and Ajeti coming in against tired legs to terrorise them, Turnbull to change the midfield play up and rogic to hit a screamer

    Not the strongest team we have but if the tactics are right we should get a result

    When was the last time that really worked though?

    I like this set up, as long as we are fluid from back to middle and people cover each other when we go forward we'll be fine.

    Think there is the potential for us to get pinned back, but these * couldn't beat Hibs away let's not make them out to be world beaters when they aren't.

    If we turn up, we win IMO.

    Let’s hope it’s used at the right time and not wait until we are possibly behind.

    At least he realises he can make 5 subs now.

    Klimala to run the channels and tire the 2 centre halves and Griff rogic and ajeti to finish the job. The subs are gonny be really important.

    We’ve been completely outrun against the scum last couple of matches. Think Lennys got the right tactics this time around. I’m just unsure with the players available.

    4-2-3-1 has been our trusted formation for about 5 years previous to this. So we definitely know how to play it. I do prefer 3-5-2 but only when he have the personnel. I’m not convinced with the personnel for this today I’m afraid.

    I'm not sure what to think after seeing the team.

    All the pressure is on the huns. It’s an absolute must win for them given the circumstances. If we were to manage to get three points here, they’ll absolutely implode and the 10 is ours for the taking.

    Their two centre backs will not be happy at all up against Moi and Klimala, who’ll pull them into all sorts of areas they don’t want to be in and stretch them in behind. Our midfield three need to stand up and be counted. Our back three just need to win their tackles and clear their lines.

    It’s 90 minutes Bhoys. It doesn’t need to be pretty. Win your battles and we’ll win the war.

    There would be nothing worse than doing that. Far too easy to pin us back.

    Given neither are fully fit I can see that being part of the plan. Especially with having 5 subs.
