Do we give him game time in the hope he will improve or just accept that he will not make it. Walker for this game IMO, although we might see Naismith start since were back to grass. Henderson ? I’d give him game time when the league is wrapped up and decide once and for all if he’s good enough to keep persisting with. I think he’s potentially not a bad player but he doesn’t play with any confidence or belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haring for Halliday the only other possible change but don't see it. (BTW imagine if and when we have Halkett, Popescu, Gnandos and Haring all in the box for set pieces!) Wouldn't be surprised if Naismith came back in and Walker pushed out wider instead of Henderson. The big man starting on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busby1985 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hoping the grass has been cut was mega long against Raith. Match the intensity of Tuesday and it’ll be comfortable. Start slow and we will struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be surprised to see us play 3 in midfield for energy as no doubt Dunfermline will press again and will be all the fresher for not having played in midweek. Wouldn't be opposed to us playing a diamond. Gordon Smith Popescu Halkett Kingsley Irving Haring Halliday GMS Naismith/Boyce We do cry out for width but I can see this being a bit more of a battle so if we can control the middle and get crosses in from our fullbacks I couldn't see us losing. Possibly swap GMS with Naismith if you did want a bit more pace to help get in behind with Boyce dropping in. Complacency and confidence big big differences and should be sorted out with having the same things said before this game as they did before Tuesday nights match . I’m probably in the minority , maybe the only one, but I’d prefer Naismith on the bench and coming in for 20/30 mins at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Big game and, possibly, the toughest we'll face all season. We have to be on it from the start, just like Tuesday. We're miles away from being a well oiled machine and anything less than 100% won't be enough to get all three points. I'd be chuffed with 1-0.

Go about the game the way we did V Raith and we will win quite comfortably. On the other hand, if Neilson worries about how the Pars are set up and trys to counter that, I think we will struggle.

upgotheheads Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The third of the three crucial games I suggested a week ago. So far we have three points form a possible six, which is behind the curve imo. 4 points would have been acceptable given that it would have denied one of our closest competitors 2 points and magnified the lead we have over them. Anything less than a win this Saturday is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were lippy after the last match and they need put back into their box. They are also on the 'list. Feckin upstarts. I'm in jonno's camp here ... they 100% upstarts, despite what the KB 'coaches' on here say, when we played them they were punching WELL above their weight and caught us flat footed and with a large chunk of luck, the perfect storm so to speak, if our chances that hit the bar and post had went in then even when we weren't at our best we could have still got a draw against them ... to many on here keeking their collective pants about that shower of shite ... we will do them good and proper feck thum!! .... people need to remember ...ONLY Hearts!!
