What do you think the team for thursdays big game should be?
Personally I think if Kenneth is back, we should put Daly upfront so that we have more height in the team. It is something our team lacked last week. Daly is one of the best ball winners in the air that i've seen and his flick-ons are essential for Goodwillie to run on to.
Do you think Swanson will be back? He played in the United XI team, that got beat from Cowdenbeath but I see him being on the bench and coming on as an impact sub if we need that crucial goal. If he does play, i'm sure it will be Severin dropping out of the midfield.
I expect the line-up to be:
Pernis
Watson Dillon Kenneth Dixon
Flood Rankin Severin Douglas
Daly Goodwillie
the bench will probably be : banks, swanson, dow, mackay-steven, russell, hilson and allan. Put all attacking players on the bench so we've got plenty of options if we need that goal to go through.
Team for thursday..

No chance Swanson will be fit. Only lasted for half-an-hour against Cowdenbeath... and was apparently knackered after 15 minutes of that half hour!

According to the tele, Swanson and Kenneth have a great chance of being in the starting line-up

That's probably what I'd go for too.

If Swanson is not fit then I agree with that team.

Houston says Swanson isn't fit enough to start but will be on the bench

Really glad to hear that Swanson is in the squad, if we are needing goal later in the game, may just be the man to unloack their defence.
Also glad that he will be fully fit in the next few weeks for the early pace setting in the title race

Really hope we don't have a repeat of last season when he comes back too quickly though as he'll end up being out for another few weeks. Think it was the Hibs game at home last year when he came on as a sub, set up a goal for goodie and then went off again 5 minutes later!! Difficult one to manage though I guess as we want our best players on the pitch if it means another European tie!
