Warburton has lost every big away game since being here...is that really gonna change? Perhaps all what's going on with Neilson might help...

Aye but the 9 in a row team never won every away game..

[giffnockger 4,840]

As much as I would love to have a ticket quite happy watching this at home. Think we'll start the same as Sat except maybe Hill for Kiernan. Tight game no doubt, would take another last minute winner!

[Bruno's Manbun 2,631]

                        Big Wes

 

Tavernier       Hill         Wilson       Wallace

 

                         Crooks

                (if fit - Halliday if not)

          Windass                  Holty

 

Forrester             Dodoo                Miller

 

Halliday needs a wake up call. Think he's become complacent with no real competition for his position. Not sure on the latest with Crooks injury? 

Forrester earned his place last week. Worked his arse off and should start. Same with Dodoo - almost did in half an hour what Garner has done all season. Him and Miller linked up well for both goals - pair of them obviously have good chemistry and are on the same page so Warburton would have to be a mad man not to carry this on.

Midfield will be anyone's guess whether they turn up or not.

Going to be a close game I reckon, both teams share similar weaknesses, hopefully their lot shit the bed.

2-2 

[Amac9 2,060]

Why are people putting Crooks anywhere near the team in such a big game at one of the hardest places to go in the league?

So far he has been Crooks by name and Crook by nature. 

[Billy1984 6,314]

will be the same team as Saturday except dodoo for garner and maybe hill for one of the centre halfs. 2-1 win for us. Now can't come quick enough because mr soprano came through with a ticket for me. Top man. 

[Graeme22 2]

Hopefully rangers up their game for this one which they probably will the next 3 games are massive games for us obviously in us securing second spot cause tbh if that's not where we finish by the end of this year then I'm sorry but it's a failure 

[graeme_4 34,870]

Is a draw a decent result at Tynecastle? 

Struggled tgere in recent years, even post admin. Usually found a way to win though.

Surely you mean "especially post admin" no? 

Aye, sorry. Meant even pre admin  

[mw207 2]

Wouldn't mind seeing MoH and Dodoo starting together. prefferebly Forrester to the left

[ElBufalo20 7,929]

 

Dodoo for Windass and put Forrester back into midfield. And possibly Hill for Kiernan keep everyone else from Saturday.

Dont think Forrester offers much as part of the front 3 prefer his energy in the middle of the park.

Oops wrong thread. Can play that team v Motherwell too I suppose 

[LiviGer 648]

Just read on Twitter from MW press conforence that a decision will be made on Windass tomorrow. Hill trained today but Rossiter won't make it. He has a grade 1 calf strain. What ever that is!

Must mean a calf strain that keeps coming back every time he's ready to play

[Pearson83 1,059]

Rossiter with another new injury so no doubt that be him no where to be seen till next year. Windass fell and picked up injury will be assessed the Moro says manager so that will mean he's out for while also

[Band of Brothers 10,303]

I think we might see tav pushed up so hodson is RB as he is the better defender and as we know Tav is better going forward. Need Hill for this one big time as he seems to be our only player who can head a ball.

Same thing kept happing at Liverpool with him.

[WGOH 2,344]

As much as I like the idea of developing Rossiter into a good young midfielder, it must be costing us a fair whack to keep him on treatment table? Couple that with Niko, it's quite an expensive recovery duo.

It's official.  Rossiter is the new Ness.

They are very dominant in the air so set pieces will be a nightmare. 

Mate I watched the highlights of their 3-0 win over Motherwell and Hearts looked every bit as weak as us at the back from set pieces,  Motherwell had the ball cleared of the goal line four times from corners and were unlucky as fuck.  Hopefully we have Hill back in the team, can see him getting on the end of a few corners and grabbing a goal or two. ( if we dont hit them short ) Hill, if fit would also be our best option defending set pieces, Keirnan and Wilson at the back will be a nightmare. We need Hill for this one.

Makes it even more baffling that we signed him them in that case. You would think a club like us historically would learn our lesson on that front. 

[Falcoholic 1,348]

I fear for us on Wednesday night really I do.

Every game is a bit like that for us at the moment, you just can't see where a victory will come from.

And absolutely guaranteed that sheep mob will play out of their skin at Ibrox next week.

To be honest, every defence in this league is pish, but we still can't score for shit.

Fully agree about Hill, if fit he should start. 

[Mr Soprano 13,964]

If everyone is fit, I would go with this..

 

Foderingham

Tavernier Hill Wilson Wallace

Halliday

Windass Holt

Forrester Dodoo MOH

 

As I mentioned on Saturday night, Halliday does need dropped, but who takes his place? A guy who has played all of 20 minutes for us starting at a traditionally hostile, tight venue?

We need a player in there who can create from deep, all the while having the positional awareness and discipline to play as the DM in front of the defence and behind the 2 in midfield.

2-0 Rangers.
