That midfield man. Bugger me!  18 months since Beni was injured and that’s the best we can muster. 

Does anyone even know what’s happening with beni?

No one seems to know anything. Very strange the club hasn’t said anything about his injury as was a few weeks ago now

Cotton wool and nursed by look of it.

 

Its a long season, just a guess, we aren't going to take chances with players that are not in form or half fit after the initial abortive attempts

Our centre midfield changes yet again. Some signings we've made there, a CB is getting in ahead of 4 or 5 mids.

 

I think Denholm / Sibbick is the weakest combination we could put out. It needs addressed.

Yes, there's still no indication we've got the midfield sorted.  Puts a lot of pressure on young Denholm.  But he's been impressive so far ,so let's just see how things go.

I hope your right but a defender and a 20yr old in midfield, while Devlin, Halliday & Grant are on the bench? 

 

It doesn't make sense but will hold off judgement til 5pm.

Lyall Cameron on the bench. No surprise they'll be setting up to frustrate us and try and steal something later on.

 

Early goal please lads. I'm actually excited to see our middle two but it would worry me against the rest of the top 4 tbf.

Sibbick and Denholm are mobile and energy. 

 

Win it and feed front 4 is their role, making perfect sense

sibbick was originally a midfielder. i think he is a better midfielder than cb tbh

I think the team makes sense. I’d like to see Shankland up top, Lowry just behind with Oda right and Vargas left.

 

I fear it may be Vargas up top with Shankland behind and Lowry on the left.

 

Trying Offiah makes sense and I don’t mind the balance of Sibbick / Denholm although agree we should never have been in a position to fielding that pair. It’s another slap in the face for Grant mind you.

We should have more than enough to beat them . Denholm still young and fitting into first team lets give the boy a chance. Mon the jts1-3 shankland 2 and oda to ram it up these scumbags.

What the squad is there for. Energy is important today, fresh legs

So do I, really hoping he seizes this chance as I just can’t see him being a regular at centre half. He’s more suited to midfield IMO, hopefully plays well today.

we need a midfielder desperately before window shuts. will be a big fail of this window if we dont sign somebody that can pass the ball forward and dictate play

Clark should be first name on the team sheet.

 

Then Kent should be second. Partly cos it's funny.

No shankland is first name on team sheet and there is no debate about that

Is Hoff injured?

I think not. Personally I think the club have realised this guy doesn’t quite “ cut the mustard” However he may have potential for the future.

Send somebody down to Tesco to see if they have one.  May get clubcard price if we're lucky.

Lowry needs a good game today. Decent against Partick. P!$$ poor on Thursday. We need him today to be in charge. It won’t be Denholm or Sibbick just yet.

He’s not going to get a better chance to stake a claim at Hearts than right now.   Haring and Beni injured and the Hoff probably has a niggle too (certainty not up to speed in any event).    Hope he does well.

I don’t mind the team but I find it embarrassing that players can’t play 2 games in a week. If any of them have any ambition of going to the top, then they need play twice a week.

Is it the players though or the Manager?

Well for Devlin, he should be playing if he’s fit. Thursday will take care of itself. Natty never seems to play twice in a week. I understand Boyce being on the bench.

We're still in with a shout in Europe. Nowt wrong with rotating the squad.

It’s just my opinion, maybe using the word embarrassing was a tad harsh. But I feel we need to play our best players at all times from the start, we have 5 subs, try and get the job done instead of having to possibly bring players on to save the day.

Good looking First Team.   Close to what I had in mind except Devlin or Hof for Sibbick.   Good to see Offiah start.   Good bench.   Enough there to win.    Denholm should have decent distribution long and short.   Enough creativity in there. 

 

1-3 

 

Come on the Hearts! :flag1:

That's surely not even in question now. I know we've got injuries in that area (when haven't we got injuries) but that line up is a problem.  Clearly one eye is on Greece but Dundee are shite and it's quite simply a must win even this early.

Might be one of the main tests for Scottish teams.

 

Can they keep Lowry quiet. He destroyed St Johnstone and Partick but was quiet in the other games he's played.

 

In his favour he is still a novice.

Indeed. Time to show. Grant makes bench, i suspect he will get on and chance to show also. Interesting to see Offiah, Lowry central and Vargas/Oda together.

This is actually going to be a real good indicator as to quality of our squad depth.

Strong bench supports it.

Craigan having a mare on Sportsound.  Apparently we have Harry Cochrane suspended, and Ian Denholm in midfield.  Bloody BBC

We are obviously trying to manage the squad for Europe next week that's why Devlin and Boyce are not starting.Haliday and Grant are nothing more than squad fillers now.

 

I do think we need another central midfielder in though.Have Brighton got any they could give us.

If we get knocked out on Thursday they can leave. I'm sure that's what the delay will be.
