It's a very good bench as well, here's hoping for a 4-1 score tonight.

Halliday in a more advanced role? Sounds good.

I have been dying to see him advanced. His long shots make him a constant threat. With no holt and zelalem unable to trouble any goalkeeper I would say he will make the late runs into the box

[tayside 295]

Basically playing with a man down with Arsenals number one in for Law , Iam at a loss as to what he had ever done to be in our team .

 

[MasterD 7,435]

Not too keen on the midfield. Hopefully we take an early chance.

Think subs will be Law on for Zelalem, King on for Miller and O Halloran on for Ball meaning Halliday dropping back and Mckay going  into midfield or he'll take Mckay off to rest him for sat

[tannerall 25,935]

Think this is a game where Ball sits in the middle as our main DM with both our full backs pushing up a wee bit more than the recent games. 

Potentially a very attacking game with the two defenders as wing backs and the two up front with MacKay pushed in front of Halliday and Zelalem. 

Could be a make or break game for Zelalem, imo, will have to do more than usual and take more control of the midfield with Law and Holt out initially.

And that bench is now beginning to look strong too. 

All looking good.......two early goals and we could romp it. 

 

 

[Dutchy 1,200]

It's true though what people are saying on here, Zelazem doesn't really shine and his power puff shots just make him look a bit useless

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Tonight we could see the real Andy Halliday 

Disappointed that Holt has missed out again I think we've really missed him in the last 2 games,hope it's nothing too serious.

[Vanoli 4,625]

Zelalem 

any win will do now. 

On the bright side, superb bench. Hopefully see the best of Halliday tonight, has a real natural drive to his game he has to suppress playing the holding role, tonight he gets to let it out. 

[The Monk 3,207]

Zelalem`s movement was a lot better in fairness v Falkirk, he created quite a bit of space when he came on. Hope Holt is back fit soon though

Just saving him for Kilmarnock, hopefully.

[Gaz52 11,837]

Zelalem in for Law is a strange one, Law's been fantastic this season and Zelalem leaves a lot to be desired at times. Good luck to the young lad anyway, hope he puts in a cracking performance like we know he can

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Goalscorer odds for anyone that's interested.

 

[STEPPS BOY 73,923]

Can see Zelalem finishing the game in Dundee with the wind tonight.

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Forgot Jon Daly was with them  

[Moody Blue 9,357]

Half of that 16 will not be good enough for the top league but should be more than capable of ripping Raith apart

[Johnstone Burgh 1,640]

We played better with Zelalem in on Saturday

Not saying much as we were shite on Saturday..

[there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724]

It's disappointing that Holt is still out, but there is no point rushing him back.

I can't wait to see MOH come on and see what he has to offer us. I presume he'll be a direct replacement for Miller?

O'H is 15/8 anytime on Sky Bet

Halliday 4/1...might jump on that.

[bluenoz 30,843]

Law has no chance of getting a new contract. The writing is on the wall for him unfortunately.

Putting the mortgage on Tom Walsh.

[Moody Blue 9,357]

ffs, if we rely on Walsh or Aird as first goal scorers then we've huge problems
