Do we simply go with the same team as Saturday (minus cadden)on the basis of good performance /win ,or do we get more minutes in other players legs as they say

Wonder if Youan will be back for this one ?
Similar team. Probably have NMW in, and Youan if he's available. On paper the hardest game. Other 2 will be fine to rotate a bit more in.
Presuming Cadden is unavailable I’d expect
Bursik
Miller
Marv
O’Hora
Obita
NMW
Newell
Campbell
Boyle
Vente
Molotnikov
Don’t see much changing for this one. Can’t see Youan featuring not believing the ill storyline either.
Win the game and then bring on the subs.
Strongest team possible. No messing about.
Strongest team available , win this and we're almost there.
We followed a 5-0 win with a big turnaround in players last time at this stage and were mince. Some changes yes but not half a team.

Queens Park are miles better than the others in the group. Got to be our strongest team.
Rudi keeps his place for me.
2nd game in 4 days..after a 3 hour trip back… but against a part time team.
Think there will be a few changes in central midfield.
Except a tougher game but 2 or 3 nil win.
Elie training today so no excuses for him not to be involved
JDH also in pictures..was McKirdy training ?Quote:

NMW or Amos in from the start this time and the rest much the same...
Yes but won’t be involved tomorrow, back in for Saturday’s game though.Quote:

Sounds like Cadden out and Youan a maybe
SDG called him Elie Yoo-han. Gray out!
Megwa in for Cadden for me, other 10 places same as Saturday.
Strongest team possible . No messing about. Do wonder if Gray will change the formation for this one ? .
I meant Elgin part time.Quote:

Think you may be right. Guess it will depend on how we think QP will set up as well, they are no mugs.Quote:

Didn’t realise they lost 6-4 to Celtic recently ?!!
Yeh but heard they were truly awful at the back, very young side too. Sure we'll be ok🤞Quote:

This is probably the hardest game in the group and I wouldn't be making to many changes , go with your best / inform team for the Queen's game .
Unless Grays going to change formation I'd pretty much stick with the same again ( apart from Cadden ) and start Elie on the bench after his illness .
Team I would like to see.Quote:

Flexibility rather than sticking rigidly to a shape or formation.

I’m surprised they didn’t change it earlier as it was 3v1 at the back a lot of the time and we didn’t need an extra defender back.Quote:

No Wollacott
Or Harbottle from Saturdays squadQuote:
