Esson

Duff, Innes, Hogg, Shinnie

MacDonald, Cox, Duncan, Doran

Rooney and Foran

Ok as I understand it, Munro shall be suspended as shall Ross Tokely. See player suspensions for feb 2011

Hayes is injured alongside Nick Ross and Gavin Morrison. Sanchez has a broken hand and also out.

So my team would be:

- Esson -

- Duff - Innes - Hogg - Shinnie -

- Cox - Duncan -

< - Doran - - - - Foran - >

- Odhiambo -

- Rooney -

Team to line up in 4-2-2(wide)- 1 -1 with Odhiambo supporting Rooney. Use likes of Blumenshtein, McDonald and Sutherland where fit in attacking line up as game progresses.

Little bit wary about untested unfamiliar back line?... try this -

- Esson -

- Proctor - Innes - Hogg - Shinnie -

- Duff -

- Duncan - Cox -

- Doran - Rooney - Foran -

Having someone to protect the back four could be very useful whilst they get to know each other. (None know Hogg and he knows noone else. Innes is a backup anyway so has no familiar partnership) Lets hope Terry and Mo drill them all this week in training. Dargo will be a handful.

Dani Sanchez out for quite a few weeks unfortunately.

I'd go with:

--- ESSON ---

DUFF --- INNES --- HOGG --- SHINNIE

--- DUNCAN --- COX---

DORAN --------------------------ROSS / HAYES

---ROONEY--- FORAN ---

See my post- Hayes still unavailable along with Ross and Morrison. Dont think any are back in training or ready yet. (I could be wrong.)

Yeah, tts very tricky doing a line up at this stage. Ive heard as well that Shinnie has withdrawn from the U21 Scotland training camp, hopefully nothing too serious and it doesnt mean he is out for this weekend

Could really do with Gillet back

Really hope Hayes, Ross, Sanchez, Gillet and Morrison are back fit soon

Yeah, guess thats what it feels like to be a manager. Terry'll have a team in mind no doubt but has to wait until the weekend to see whos available and have contingency plans outwith.

I guess Nick Ross is expected to be available in time for the weekend?

Esson

Proctor, Innes, Hogg, Shinnie

Ross, Cox, Duncan, Doran

Foran, Rooney

Assuming Nick Ross is fit, I like the look of that. If he is ruled out I'd bring in young MacDonald, who I thought looked good for the ten minutes, or so he played on Saturday.

my bad innes then

Esson

Duff, Hogg, Innes, Shinnie

Ross, Duncan, Cox, Doran

Foran, Rooney

Subs: Tuffey, Proctor, *Gillet, *Hayes, Odhiambo, MacDonald, Sutherland.

* if their fit, if not McBain and Gollie on the bench.

Esson

Proctor Innes Hogg Shinnie

Doran Cox Duff Ross

Rooney Foran

Subs: Tuffey, Golabek, Duncan,Sanchez* Odhiambo, MacDonald, Sutherland

*cox played with a broken hand so can't see why sanchez can't at least be on the bench

I think cox had cut his hand falling on a glass table and damaged some tendons while dani has broken 3 metacarpals in his hand which may require surgical intervention ( or may already have had) so can't risk falling on it and further damage let alone the pain. Prob out for a couple of months !!

Need to see Rooney and foran up front together again after Saturday and hope it works again.

Think you will find a couple of surprises when the teams are announced

Definitely no Sanchez
