Subs - Mathieson, Devine, A.Shinnie, Sutherland, Hogg, Pepper, Taylor

 

*Devine in for Warren if he's injured, with Polworth coming onto the bench.

Is A.Shinnie injured? wouldn't drop what i think is our best player because he's taking a step forward in his career this summer!

I don't think the posters drop Shinniesta because he will leave but because he had some substandard performances recently.

As the same applies to Billy, I'd go for the following:

 

Reguero

Raven - Meekings - Warren/Devine - G. Shinnie

Draper - OTJ

Foran - Ross - Doran

Sutherland

 

Subs: Mathieson, Devine/Polworth, Hogg, Pepper, A. Shinnie, McKay, Taylor

Probably our biggest game of the season and you want to drop our top goalscorer

The reason I wouldn't play A. Shinnie is the fact he's looked disinterested for quite a while now.

I'd play the same team against Celtic if possible.  One bad result doesn't mean a bad team.  But I'd play more counter-attack.  Pull in Doran and Draper.  Let St J attack.  A draw would suit us far more than them.  Let them leave themselves exposed.

 

Basically do to St J what they did to us last time we played.

If Warren is fit then he has to start, was only when he came off that we gave away goals. Id go unchanged from Sunday.

Most important game of the season to drop either Shinnie or McKay would be cutting off our nose to spite our face notwithstanding the fact that neither have been at their best recently.

To play A.Shinnie or not is a big call and only TB can figure that out - it is all down to how he is training and what his attitude is - he can be the exact player that you need if your tactics are to defend and hit on the break.

Likely TB will go with same again barring injuries? Should be really tight going by our recent games. Someone could be a hero (or bigger hero) by 2pm Saturday....

 

I have a 25yr old Glenlivet Reserve I'm keeping to open when Europe is achieved - hope its a step closer by the end of the game.

As above.

Should it not be I never felt more like swigging the booze when Everton win, and Liverpool lose?
