    Forrest getting closer, McCarthy has a minor muscular strain apparently.. Juranovic should be in the squad.

    The checks seemed non existent today I understand you not wanting to risk it though.

    Good to see us finally being able to debate a starting line up. Not far off having a full squad to choose from. Bolingoli in at left back and Johnstone for Abada.

    Boli or Scales will start this one.

    I'd like to see MJ and GG more game time but can't see either starting.

    More important that today's game. Amp up the pressure on them, we are ascending they are in a sticky patch, can't afford to let the the prey get away when they are limping!

    Starting line ups are getting very tricky to predict/prefer all of a sudden . Good sign !

    Forrest , JJ , Julien all to come back in aswell. Things are looking up.

    Hammer this lot Saturday , put ourselves out of sight on the GD and apply serious pressure to that lot.

    Would like to see:

    Hart
    Ralston CCV Starfelt Scales
    Soro McGregor
    Rogic
    Jota Giakoumakis Kyogo
    I think we'll see Bolingoli start though, and GG on the bench. Would like to see McCarthy, Juranovic and MJ off the bench. No need to risk any of them starting though.

    Went with Soro in the middle as despite recent results, I don't think Turnbull and Rogic together is the answer. Those two sharing the 10 role - with support from McGregor - would give us more balance I believe.

    I think it’ll be Bitton if he goes for the more balanced role, to be fair with Bitton and Scales there, Ralston, Carter-Vickers and Starfelt suddenly we look a lot better in the air.

    The games are coming thick and fast (5 games between now and Nov 7th). But we're finally seeing some continuity and results.

    Youd like to see a strong side on Saturday, get the game finished by 60 minutes and then make changes.

    He'll probably bring Boli back in, maybe Gioukamas for Adada and move Kyogo out wide. But no more than that. Then use your 3 changes in 2nd half.

    Hopefully see Jaranovic, Forrest and Julien back soon and get ready for the League cup Semi and Final.

    Yes it would be great if both Johnstone and Giakoumakis could both get more time off the bench maybe 30 minutes or so on Saturday. But your probably right doubt either will start.

    Juaranovic hopefully good enough to make the bench at least on Saturday and maybe get on as a second half sub.

    Livi just pumped them 3-0 at McDairmid Park. Would rest a couple of players.

    Hart
    Ralston CCV Starfelt Boli
    Bitton McGregor
    Abada Turnbull Kyogo
    Giakoumakis

    Hopefully some minutes for Forrest and a decent run out for Johnston.

    I know it's the wrong thread but I'll try to make it relevant-ish...

    I rewatched the Motherwell game last night (something you can do in relaxation mode when you know the result - which makes analysis more coherent) and we were outstandingly good in the second half - much better than you'd imagine from reading the match thread. Calmac was just fantastic, as were Jota and Rogic, but I was very pleasantly surprised by Starfelt and Boli. If they can look as solid as that 9 games out of 10 then we're looking the goods - especially with a few others pushing for places.

    Besides the likes of Jovanovic, Johnston and Julian coming back, I really want to see minutes for Scales, McCarthy and GG, and in appropriate games would like to have a look at Shaw and Moffat, and even Bosun Lawal, who I think looks a major talent. I suspect with the team looking confident and competition for places hotting up, we're about to hand out some thrashings so those are the times to blood the youngsters.

    Maybe this week please Ange.

    Also, on the MW game, I didn't think the replacement ref was anywhere near as bad as some were saying. I probably counted two iffy decisions plus he gave a few our way you'd never get from the sash-wearing flautists who usually masquerade as refs in the SPL.
