We just simply have got to get the correct ingredients or the cake will go flat at Rugby Park. More of a challenge than usual for CC - Granty suspended and Royster returning. Bound to be differences in opinion about this.
Watching Setanta it would appear that Nish and Naismith are the front two with Naismith playing off a lot of lumping to Nish, as Wales is crocked. Johnston is the play maker and is more central than he used to be. Now it could be that Killie may have the League Cup Final on their minds but we have to look to our own formation first and foremost.
Nish is a target man and Dods can handle him. We need pace fer Naismith so Caff may fit the bill. However I would suggest pairing Dods and Hastings in the middle and putting Morgan in at left back. Royster is a CC fave so I can see him being accomodated in a five man midfield of Wilson - Duncan - Black - Royster - Rankin with Bayne ploughing the lonely front furrow.
I may even have to congratulate CC if he gets this rite. Wonder wht he is thinking?
