Is going to be interesting to say the least.
Personally I would go
Laidlaw (assuming bogdan is unfit)
Gray
Efe
Porteous
Hanlon
Stevenson
Mallan
Hyndman
Slivka
Maclaren
Kamberi
There is a few tough choices to be made. I would leave Bartley out from the start as I reckon playing 6 defensive minded players may bring them onto us and if we are going progress in the tie I think we will need to score first. I would also go Gray over Boyle at wing back as I think defensively he is more solid and seems to be enjoying a good run of form again after his injury problems. I would bring him on late on to run at them if they are tired or to try and stretch the game.

I can't see it. If Bartley doesn't play then someone else will sit in his position. A defensive player like him is in there to allow The full backs to get forward and they can sit. So like you say it's kind of 6 defensive players but someone in Bartley position is to allow Stevenson or/and grey to become wingers.
All that being said I think it's the team he might go with but I can't see Boyle being left out so switch Grey for Boyle I think Mallan will sit and you have your teamLast edited by Scooter; 13-08-2018 at 07:43 AM.

How anybody could consider dropping Boyle is beyond me.
Up front with Kamberi I would’ve thought. Gray has been excellent and his pace will cause problems.

Boyle dropped. Our best player of the season so far.
I wonder what some people watch sometimes 😂

MacGregor to me is a must as I think we will be under pressure defensively. Anyone have an update on his availability?

Think it’ll be the same team that played in the first leg.

Boyle is only our most dangerous player when playing on the right. It is a tricky choice as Gray has been excellent when played and has scored and put some great crosses in. I think Lennon will play Gray and then stick Boyle up front with Kamberi. Not sure it is the best option but it gets our big game players on the park so understandable. It will be interesting to see if Lennon thinks about a change of formation as our midfield is nowhere near as strong now and it would allow Gray and Boyle to play on the right together which, imo, would work very well.

Who’d be our first choice penalty takers if it got that far?
Kamberi
MacLaren
Mallan
Hanlon
Boyle
Pretty strong - Hanlon and Boyle both scored in the Brondby shootout.

Like others, I think it will be the same starting XI from the first leg. No one has really done enough to force their way in unless there are injury issues.
Maclaren still getting up to speed, as is Hyndman, who is also maybe too slight for the giants of Molde.
We will need plenty of dig against a big, physical team who will have their tails up after a fantastic win over the league winners and we will need to keep possession better than we did at home, so Mallan and Slivka have to really step up.
Boyle could be encouraged to team up with Gray out wide, but that would need Mallan and / or Slivka getting closer to Kamberi up top.
We certainly need to be working on finding room for Mallan to have a shot or two from outside the box.

I don’t think he will change it on Thursday though.

If Fit:
Bogdan
Ambrose
Porteous
Hanlon
Boyle
Emerson
Bartley
Mallan
Stevenson
Flo
MacLaren
Grab an early goal. Get D.Gray on after 55 mins, shift Boyle up top to chase defenders.

Sir Dave will surely start , id imagine he was rested yesterday so he'd be fresh for thursday . Need the captain leading the team out in Molde
-
13-08-2018 09:27 AM #21
Can't see Maclaren starting, will be Boyle and Kamberi up top I think
Toughest thing is picking the midfield but I think Bartley or Whittaker will surely start

What I would say is that the way Gray has played in the last few weeks, we need to find a way of having them both in the team without ‘wasting’ Boyle by playing him through the middle.

I'd go with this!
No point starting Kamberi & Maclaren if they are not 100%. Shaw and Boyle are our in form forwards.

There is no way Lennon leaves Boyle out the team, even if that means playing him up top. I don’t think he’ll shift from a back 3 on Thursday though and expect Boyle to play up top.

I’d go with this as well. Kamberi doesn’t look match fit atm and Shaw is in good form.
