For me it has to be same team as today with only change being in goal.

If we win this then we go above Aberdeen and close to Celtic and also pile pressure on County so tbh, next week could be last time we play them for a while.

This has been a great season and John Hughes HAS to be a contender for manager of the season.

So proud to support this team .

County have signed ANOTHER player. This time an A-League flop

I'm not concerned about the selection/line-up because we seem to play well no-matter who's where, but we need to approach the game like we did in the second half against Accies.  County are there for a gubbish big time and are coming for a draw.  Let's give them a right thrashing to say cheerio for their inevitable descent into the wilderness!

I fully expect County to park the bus very early and like Rene says dominating the game will be key like we did in the second half against Hamilton 

 

My team would be: 

 

 

                       Brill 

 

 

  Raven Warren Meekings Tremarco

                

         Draper Tansey Shinnie 

 

Watkins                                    Ross 

 

                      Mckay 

 

Subs: Esson, Devine, Williams, Vincent, Christie, Doran, Ferguson

With Mckay now looking like he could well be away by Saturday then I'd go with this:

 

Brill/Esson

 

Raven Warren Meekings Tremarco

 

Draper Tansey

 

Watkins Ross Doran

 

Ferguson

 

Not dropping Shinnie on purpose, but he's definitely best at left back and I feel Tansey is better than him in the centre mid role, and with Tremarco doing well over the last few games it would be very harsh to drop him, especially as it looks like he's going to be our number one left back next season.

 

I think even without Shinnie and Mckay, this looks like a very strong team.

Esson

Raven meekins warren tremarco

Vincent/watkins draper tansey Williams

Ross shinnie.

Doran for Williams Christie for ross

Do we know how Brill's scan went on Monday?

This is going to sound a bit bizarre, but I've been thinking about this for a while.  Could Josh Meekings play up-front?  Think about it: he's tall, he's strong, he's fairly quick and mobile, he's a decent enough passer and crosser of the ball and has a quite a powerful shot and header on him.  Imagine him as a kind of target man/creator up-front with a Mckay/Ferguson character.  I think it might work!

Then you may as well play draper with Ross off of his shoulder up front.

I'd put Nick Ross on Draper's shoulders for corners!!

Brill (if fit)

 

Raven Meekings Warren Tremarco

 

Draper Tansey

 

Doran Christie Shinnie

 

Watkins

 

If you take last Saturday's starting line-up and assume we've seen the last of Billy, then none of our top 4 league goalscorers would be in the team! (Mckay 10, Wakins 6, Doran 5, Christie 3).
