Harsh on Doig & McGinn but McGregor & Stevenson are better defenders and we can't afford to go a goal down.

I don't know. Assuming they're fit, Nisbet, Doidge, Boyle, Hanlon and McGinn have all booked their places. Probably Doig and Porteous too.
The rest of the team have two games and two weeks to show why they deserve to be in the starting eleven. Aberdeen and Celtic are open auditions for who gets those remaining places.

Unless we pick up any further injuries, the only real decision will be who plays in the middle of the park IMO.

That would give you:
Maximum power and legs in midfield to overpower the opponents
Stevenson stopping Rooney rampaging up the wing.
McGregor, Doidge, Porteous, Hanlon and Nisbet heading away and strength at set pieces stopping Rooney, Kerr etc
Leaving our superior forwards to score goals.
Keep 11 players on the pitch and no goal gifts and the jobs a carrot!
Basically keeping the ball out at one end whilst scoring at the other.
A cunning plan.Last edited by CMurdoch; 09-05-2021 at 05:30 PM.

I think most of the team picks itself at the moment. I love Newell but he's not been at it lately and Halberg staked a huge claim yesterday. McGregor just seems more suited to a game v St Johnstone but I fully expect Porteous, who I am also a big fan of, to get the nod.

Murphy/Newell to come on as a sub if goals are needed, McGregor and Stevenson if we're up

Ross will play him if he’s available but I’d rather see Hallberg. Didn’t think I’d be wanting to see Hallberg in the team but I thought he was superb yesterday.

Same team as yesterday but Gogic for Newell. There's an argument to be made for Mcgregor for Porto too I suppose
I think Tanser is out for the season so hoping Boyle has a field day
Paisley saints created plenty chances, just like we did in LC SF. We need to take them like we did yesterday

We’ve no idea who’s going to be for for Wednesday, never mind the final
If Newell’s injury is as serious as 1st looked, might not see him again this season
I just hope we don’t pick up any more injuries before the final, Porteous could also be a doubt if he has a hamstring problem. We’re lucky we have cover in certain areas, but can’t afford to lose anyone in the final 3rd

Surprised so many are wanting to drop players that have done it all season for some such as Hallberg, Murphy etc who are just back from injury or been inconsistent.

Jeez it's St Johnstone we're playing not Man City.

Lewis always positions himself as an easy pass to our midfield which may help, but is also decent at those sort of crosses. There's a genuine case to suggest starting with him to counter the way that they play.

Should not being going out to stop them. Should be going to play our game. Doig must play because Rooney is a big donkey who scores a few headers so folk think he is good.
They looked shaky from crosses. Essential that Doidge plays well and fight them for everything.
Its strange. I believe in the 3 recent defeats to them we've not started both strikers, which gives their defence an easier game and always an extra man. Gotta push them back and work them.

I can’t believe some wouldn’t play Doig, that genuinely baffles me.
Rooney would be better against Stevenson and they would most likely target him. Height and speed over Stevenson.

Gives us options on both sides need width against St Johnstone. Murphy could be a match winner

For me our strongest side. If Newell isn’t fit enough Hallberg comes in. No need to make changes that are unnecessary. No daft mistakes, we’ve got better players it’s about staying patient and making sure we take our chances. They’ll allow us plenty of the ball. When they open up and bring Middleton and O’Halloran on, that’s when we should be bringing Murphy on to exploit the areas.
