This is a cup tie and chance to get to Hampden. Genuinley wonder what people have seen in Dave to.make them think he is the man to get us there. Not being cheeky at all btw, just curious

Even if Marciano had played a blinder on Saturday it was probable that Laidlaw would be in goals for this game, to give him some first team action.

I'd like to see Swanston get a run and also Big Davey get a start.

It will be a chance for him to show what he can do..

Coming on when he did on Saturday was a no win situation for him as we were self destructing at that point.

Against lower division opposition he will be expected to show something and hopefully boost his confidence.....at least that's how the theory goes.

I think irrespective of Saturday's result, we could have expected a few changes for the Livi game....just means that opportunities beckon...

[kaimendhibs]

I like that team

Resting Hanlon as an injury to him and we're struggling. Stokes we know what will give so giving Murray and Big Dave a chance together. Feel they have the attributes to gel together.

Slivka is a tough one - looks a great player but where do we play him? He isn't a wide player

It's a big game and a chance to tech another semi final.

absolutely 0 possibility of stokes not starting. As long as fit he will start every game this season.

can't believe some people are give big Davy stick...he has played about 45 minutes of football in total...he needs minutes to have a fair chance. There are other more regular players who have had far worse contributions today than him as a sub....

The goalie looks overweight compared to last year (for example) and his form seems to have dipped notably...

The criticism of Big Davy just sums this place up...incredible at times it really is

A bit of squad rotation to benefit more injury prone players, Laidlaw needs cup games to keep motivated and pushing Rocky, and Porteous is good enough to play in these games and needs the development opportunity.

I would put out the best team we have to win the tie. Cups are our only chance of winning things and we are not good enough to just think any team we put out should win.

I'd be tempted to give Dave a chance, but if there is one thing Murray has done great at so far it's score goals against lower league teams in the cup.

Rocky
Gray Ambrose Hanlon Stevenson
Boyle Mcginn Slivka McGeoch
Stokes Murray

The start of a consistent back 5 going forward hopefully.

half the people suggesting we rest players or give fringe players a game in the team will be going absolutely nuts at Lennon on Wednesday if he does that and we end up getting beat.

Strong team, Good performance, clean sheet and a few goals to see us into the semi-final of 1 of the 2 competitions we have a chance of winning this season will cheer everybody up (hopefully)

The incentive of a share of the proceeds of the potential 60 - 70,000 or so semi final ticket sales should gurantee this.

[NAE NOOKIE]

If Rocky had played a blinder on Saturday he would almost certainly have been replaced by Laidlaw for this game, because he didn't I think Lennon would be mental to drop him, keepers like strikers live and die by their confidence and the worst thing to do to Marciano here would be to leave him out ... don't get me wrong, any more performances like Saturday and he will be dropped because that wasn't good enough and Laidlaw has proved that he is a more than able replacement.

What is a pity is the clear loss of confidence in Swanson, half the posters picking teams haven't included him, including me and I wouldn't be surprised if that's because some folk have practically forgotten him he seems so far out of the picture at the moment .... crazy when you look at what a good season he had last year.

Marciano

Gray
Hanlon
Porteous ....... as the only back up to Hanlon and Ambrose I wouldn't be surprised to see him start, he needs a chance to prove he can cope under real pressure.
Stevenson ..... By now even Neil Lennon has to admit that Whittaker isn't cutting it at LB and its time to get Lewis up and running again.

McGinn
Slivka ...... Its time this guy was given a start
McGeouch ..... Needs a start as well and can play deep to give McGinn a chance to push further forward where IMO he is far more effective
Boyle

Stokes ..... IMO Lennon wont leave him out unless he is injured
Murray ..... Under normal circumstances I think he would be dropped to give big Dave a chance, but he needs a goal to stop his mini drought and for that reason I think he will at least start the game.

Having said all that it could be that we end up playing what Lennon sees as our strongest team, there is a pile of cash to be made if we make the semi finals and this is also one of only two chances we realistically have of winning anything.

Laidlaw

Gray
Porteous
Hanlon
Stevenson

Slivka
F. Murray
McGeouch
Swanson

S. Murray
Matulevicius

That line up will play like Brazil 1970 and be a fixture for the rest of the season
