I think Terry Butcher has been given the best headache a manager can have. The cloud of injuries has produced a silver lining as we have seen what some of our young lads can do. Nick Ross has been very good so far this season and I don't think Butcher will be in any hurry to drop him, particularly as the team has won two in a row.
The big questions for me are at full back and in the hole in front of defence. I think Gillet will return when ready (but a big thumbs up to Shinnie who has let nobody down in recent weeks. I have liked Duff at right back but McCann is good too. Quite like the idea of Foran going through the middle.
Duncan, Cox and Duff could all play in the hole but they can't all be there. I am going to plump for
Esson
Duff Tokely Munro Gillet
Duncan
Hayes Foran Ross
Odhiambo
Rooney
Subs: Tuffy, McCann, Proctor, Shinnie, Blumenshtein, Cox, Sutherland
