Bench: Barrowman, cowie, Djebi Zadi, Proctor, Duncan,

As far as i am aware renegade, rooney cant be on the pitch and bench as well, unless ICT have sigh wayne in the transfer window.

Anyhow, i would go for:

Esson

Rossco Pavel Munro Zadi

Morias Duncan Black Vigurs

Imrie Rooney

Subs: Fraser, Duff, Roy, Foran, Proctor, Barrowman, Eric

Hence the reason I just changed it.

Just keeping you on your toes

Kevin Kyle caused BIG problems for St Mirren on Saturday our defence will have their work cut out for them

Fear not.... Lionel will take care of him!!

It sounds like Imrie's going to be playing through the middle now.

We've got a spine that should be playing every week, with the wide positions and one striker position up for grabs. I really hope one of our strikers can step up and take it - that's still our weakest spot

With all of Brewster's tactical buggering about it was always difficult to assess what our best line-up was.

Now with all these new players, I have absolutely no idea!

Butcher has to keep as many players as possible "hungry" and I'm hoping he'll do that by playing the most suitable team as opposed to any pre-defined 11.

Celtic game was always going to be a physical encounter and I think that's probably what shaded it for one or two players who were in the starting line-up yesterday....and rightfully so. I also think Woods, Vigurs, Ronney (the younger guys) were probably on the bench because we needed as many cool heads in there as possible to stop adrenaline overcoming the team and doing more harm than good.

Kilmarnock will be a whole different ball game IMO, and I think we'll see one or two changes with Duncan and Lionel perhaps being sacrificed in order to bring in better "ball players".

Esson

Essentially a 3-5-2 but with sufficient personnel so as to allow the shape to become whatever the game dictates.

Hopefully we're looking to add a right sided midfielder before 5.00pm because with the loss of Barry and Cowie looking like he's away then we're more than a little lacking on that side. Whilst I think there's a couple of the left sided players capable of playing on the right, it's not ideal.

How long did this post take you to do?

I never timed it, but I'm fairly certain it was longer than Brewster ever spent doing a team selection.

bit nervous about lional but seen as everyone on a clean slate i think he deserves it after a good show against the tic

Going by Butcher's comments so far, it looks like the days of P1ssing aroung with different formations are over. We'll play 4-4-2 every week, with a spine of Pavels and Grant at back, Blackie and Duncan in the middle of the park and Imrie playing just off the main striker with the freedom to roam as he did yesterday.

Simplicity, organisation and stability.

Now, if only Butcher could conjure up a striker before 5pm........

My Team:

Esson

Tokely, Mihadjuks, Munro, Djebi-Zadi

Proctor, Duncan, Black, Foran

Imrie, Rooney

but i think butcher will go with the same team against celtic

With the signing of Kerr today, I expect it'll be Duncan who's sacrificed in the middle.

Possibly swap Black and Kerrs places and that'd be my guess with what we'll go with.

Can't really see Butcher dropping Zadi after that performance

Kerr Black Duncan Foran

The question is: can Zadi last against Taouil? We can afford a cup loss, so let's see shall we?

Two wingers, two up front. As I've said, it's only a cup match, let's see how well we can play as an attack-minded team. If Morais still injured, then Gattheusi to assess how well he can play. If he's out, then McBain. Sincerely doubt Kerr is fit enough, so gets on in the second half.

i see alot of people are putting mcbain in a left back. why??? after lionel had a great game against celtic i think he should remain at left back for the killie game and see what he can do
