Don't think the team will change much from today, apart from Joey Barton will get some game time, thank god the open finishes on Sunday!!

Anyone know the expected attendance on Tuesday?

MW said there would be number of changes. as many as seven from today's starting XI.

Might get 35k which would be very respectable

I would be intrigued to try Tav further up the park and play Hodson at the back. Seen Hodson play a few times and he is a better defender than tav but not as good going forward, it might be worth a shot seen the rest of the game are of lesser quality. Honestly see Tav more of a right winger than rightback in all honesty, the majority of the motherwell attacks were coming down that side. 

The amount of assists and goals Tav gets I think would be more suited for him to be pushed further up field

[Vanoli 4,625]

Just because be contributes a lot in terms of goals and assists as a full back =/= good winger. His technical ability isn't high enough to play in the front 3. Let alone his positional sense there compared to other players who have learned the position over a 15-20 year period. 

He contributes so much going forward, because that's what he is, an attacking full back. The ones who are specialists in both defence and attack cost 8 figures in the modern game.

Your correct I missed his interview, probably a good game to make changes.

[Prso is King 64]

Gilks, Hodson, Hill and Windass will start. Barton will come on as a sub. Good to see them get a run out and expecting Windass to impress!

Can't believe I'm in a meeting starting at 5pm hopefully won't be too long, the agenda articles look quite short but knowing my luck there will be some idiot with about 10 items for A.O.B.

Go from there straight to train station and hope not affected by strikes though is the underground still out?

That could have a big effect on the attendance at the game, as it will be hell getting to & from game.

I think I'll take the wee man to this, what's concession prices?  I tried looking online but there's not an option for a concession for some reason?

[GOAT 30,449]

When you get tickets online it doesn't give you the concession prices till you go to checkout.

I think he's getting a bit more time off due to his involvement with England U19's

[cr3_bear 14,830]

Cheers lads , am caught between wanting to see krancjar and windass starting and getting more game time but then i would  hate for them to pick up an injury from the inevetable hammer throwers in a game which in all honesty one of our weaker team should be able to deal with 

[Darrenmt7 656]

                      FoD 

       Tav.  Hill  Wilson  Wallace

   Windass    Halliday      Niko

Will be a very different looking team to that of today, I'd go with (if all fit and available)

Gilks

Hodson--Hill--Wilson--Wallace

Kranjcar--Thompson--Windass

O'Halloran--Hardie--McKay

Would be my team with the exception of young Hardie, going by MWs last interview he is looking to get the likes of Hardie out on loan so him and Thompson unlikely to feature.

Shame because i really like the lad Thompson and he looks ready to step up for me, young hardie still needs to bulk up a little. Think Halliday will play instead of Thompson and Waggy for Hardie though would like to see Thompson.

[Dutchy 1,200]

I know MW has said we can treat this as a friendly, but it isn't a friendly, there's points at stake but we've got the better players and we can easily afford to rotate the squad as AA will be sitting in hoping to score on the break.

They won't manage to score so I'm going for a sober 4-0 win, given the park the bus style of the opposition.

[TMB 14,167]

I hope Young Jordon Thompson gets a run out at CDM.  No point putting Halliday there anymore so give the youngster a chance.  

[K.A.I 36,183]

My team would be 

Gilks 

Hodson Kiernan Hill Wallace 

Krancjer Barton Windass

O'Halloran Hardie Waghorn
