Rest Sammy, Ledley, Wanyama and Mulgrew. Give Hooper a run out from the bench.

Alison Robbie ‏<s>@</s>AlisonRobbie Scott Brown in contention for <s>#</s>Celtic for tomorrow. He's be referred for op after Spartak game

 

Absolutely * ridiculous. In every single way.

 

I think most fans will agree we need to rest a few players or more time to recover from injuries. Lennon has already stated that some of the squad are fatigued. I would prefer the back four to stay the same, I dont think theres much need to change the GK & defence. ICT are SPL top scorers(27) My team would be-

.......................Forster

Lustig.....Ambrose........Wilson.......Matthews

McGeouch/Wanyama...Kayal...Twardzik/Commons

..............Watt......Miku.....Lassad

Not an ideal team but would like Ledley Samaras Hooper Wanyama Commons Mulgrew to be fresh for the Hearts game on Wednesday. Wanyama and Commons could start tomorrow ahead of McGeouch and Twardzik and be rested an hour into the game providing things are going well. It will be tough with so many changes but I think its better to risk it at home. Some hard calls for Lennon to make. Just noticed we have scored 7 home spl goals in 6 games which is dreadful.

 

Would like to see Ibrahim

Not trying to have a dig at peoples team selections, but why drop Forster? Far to vital to drop and thrives on games and confidence. If he's fit he's first name on the team sheet.

Forster

Lustig Ambrose Wilson

Matthew..............................Mulgrew

Kayal Wanyama Ledley

Sammy

Hooper/Miku

Unsure about the striker options. Hooper looked *, and Sammy has played a lot since his injury. Maybe play Miku and Lassad. No point in having them here if they're not going to play.

And I know, change of formation, but since Commons looked * also think I'd rather see 2 wing backs to maintain width.

First home game of the season I'm not going to. Gutted

Not sure Commons looked fully fit midweek. Either way I'd give him a break. Do we know if Forrest's back yet? If so I'd rest Ambrose and put Wanyama at CB, Ledley and CM and Forrest on the wing. Ambrose has looked a little off the pace recently, it's been pretty flat out for the whole team. 3-0 Celtic.

 

praying for a bit of a park in this game. league games at cp of late have just been a case of going through the motions

 

gimme gimme gimme 3 points.

This will be a tough game, no doubt. Our home form hasn't been great in the league this season and Inverness have a good enough side to cause us a few problems.

I think it will be a close game. 2-1 to the good guys

or something to that effect

Matthews, Ambrose, Wilson, Mulgrew as a back four

McGeoch, Ledley, Wanyama, Commons as midfield

Sammy and Tony up front.

 

The atmosphere today will be horrific.

 

That it will.

Lassad, Samaras or Mulgrew (if well) could easily start.

 

It'll be dire no doubt,but it'll help them get their point accross,hope the football is entertaining enough and we can get a result.

 

If we had more squad rotation maybe a handful more people would be willing to turn up to see how some of our second choice players ply their trade, but I don't think it would make that a great difference to be honest.

 

Aye, the attendance and atmosphere will both be disappointing today. Might have been a different story if we had qualified for the last 16 of the CL against Benfica midweek, but that's all in the past now.

It will probably be the most boring game at Paradise in years, but as long as we get the result, then I'll be happy enough.

Would love to Ambrose getting another shot in midfield today with Kayal.
