    I'd be wary of making of too many changes as we still want to win the game but a couple would do

    Full team should be able to get changed and still come away with a comfortable win, look at the team that beat Real Betis that had Uroghide, Shaw, McCarthy, Ajeti, Scales, Soro etc starting

    Alloa are * rank.

    Whatever first team squad we put out should be winning comfortably.

    Ange should pick his starting 11 for Diets midweek and then then select a completely different starting 11 for tomorrow.

    Keep Jota as far as * away from this game as possible. Trying to get the man to sign for us rather than going back to Sunny Portugal there is no need for him even to watch Alloa away in January on the tele let alone play in it. Would keep the new Japs away from it as well.

    Fringe players only for this.

    It's not always about resting players or keeping them fresh, sometimes it's about gaining momentum. The squad have just had a week off followed by two weeks of intense training and tactical work...I'd say it's more beneficial to keep our strongest team playing in order to cement the ideas Ange has them working on.

    That said, all of a sudden we have rotational requirements now so he could well end up making a good few changes. Tough one to call, but as always in Ange we trust.

    Cement would be correct. Did you look at that Alloa pitch ? I would rather have the fringe players in the team for this one.

    We need to rotate, but I wouldn’t be making wholesale changes.

    Would expect something like:
    Bain
    Ralston
    Welsh
    Scales
    Taylor
    Bitton
    Guchi
    Hatate
    Forrest
    Maeda
    Giakoumakis

    Hopefully see O’Riley off the bench.

    Whatever team we play, we need to be wary; apparently this mob are always cheating :fear:

    Johnston and Giakoumakis should definitely be starting this game

    Don’t want Jota near this game anymore unless needed. Would rather keep him for Tynecastle with Kyogo and Rogic certainly out and maybe Maeda?

    Would start O’Riley. Good game for him to come into, not ideal pitch ect but would rather get him in here than Hearts.

    Same goes for Newcastle when they were beat by Stevenage 3-1 a decade ago...

    That's on Hibs and Newcastle. Both teams were better than the opposition.

    We should be beating Alloa comfortably with any first team we put out.

    Start with a strong team and make the changes when we go a few up.

    Some decisions will depend on the pitch for me. No need to test Jota's hamstring for example.

    Johnston and big Jack to start.

    Aren't the J-League players coming off their pre-season? I'd give them game time here.

    Aside from that I wouldn't be going mental with changes. Keep the momentum going and get the sharpness back, then hook as many as possible on 60 mins if the game is won.
