Try and keep the defence with some continuity - Tokely goes into the "Foran Role" sitting in front of the defence as he did against Ayr earlier in the season. I did consider putting Piermayr in there as he was good in the midfield in an earlier game, but I think in a 4-3-3 he has more pace to get forward down the wings that Tokely does.

Cox goes into the defensive mid, where Foran has been playing. A counter-attacking style away from home. I wouldn't rush Doran back. Let him come on from the bench to try to get match fit. After all, why drop Tade or McKay?

4-2-3-1 - it's a nice balance and has served us well away from home. G. Shinnie unlucky to be dropped but Gillett has got that bit more defensively and Tokely a more natural foil for Golobart (nickname Golo or Golly Mk2?).

-----Esson-----

Piermayr-----Golobart-----Gillet-----G. Shinnie

-----Cox-----

Hayes----------Tansey----------Doran

-----McKay-----Tade-----
