Whilst it's frustrating that we didn't get to see the potential that Banks undoubtedly has, we cant really complain if Palace have thrown a bit extra cash our way and a possible slice of any future transfer fee to get him into their developmental set up now. Dont want to see him fail - his wage demands were apparently unreasonable but best of luck to him. Hopefully he turns out to be an excellent player and makes it to the national side as well as netting us a future windfall.

Stanton is a decent championship level player but probably wouldn't be first choice in the top flight. All the best to him if hes away.

I think we have a chance in the replay but we have to go for broke. Hibs were slick and largely the better team but they left plenty of space for our attacking players, unfortunately we just weren't at it to capitalise. We could go 4-4-2 with Appere in up top with Shankland. Play Mcmullan wide right and Sporle wide left on the assumption Powers and Butcher start again in the middle. Harkes, nice assist for the goal aside, was pretty anonymous.

Meh. We were nowhere near our best. Pawlett and Mcmullan were atrocious and given we were largely reliant on them to create chances we were always struggling. Thank god for Shankland and Appere.

Baws.

Mcmullan and Pawlett have both been pretty shite.

Great time to get an equaliser.

Be interesting to see how powers and butcher do together. Two strong midfielders. Good to see Mcmullan back.

Look at out defensive record before and after the signing of Connolly and Reynolds. Although neither are in the Maldini and Ramos moulds, they have definitely improved our back line and must be considered successful signings. Whether both will be good enough for the top flight is a different argument.

Both sets of supporters really got the cup fever for this one then? Feeling fairly positive about sunday, will be interesting to see how we match up against a top flight side. With home advantage and good home form, can see us sneaking a narrow win. 2-1 United.

Real shame for Clark given how well hes done this season. Dont see the need to go and waste money on bringing in cover however. As people have already said, Sow, Appere and Smith can all play up top whilst Glass, Pawlett, Smtih and Mcmullan can all play as AM/No 10.

What a goal. Perfect hat trick from Shankland.

Wouldn't mind seeing a 3-5-2 with the line up.

That's ridiculous.

Fair enough result. Lots of blood and thunder from both teams but not much quality apart from the goals. We aren't going to win every game and that shouldn't halt the momentum too much.

Things are going too well. 9 wins in a row, looking to sell out almost the whole stadium and the dees offering themselves up as sacrificial lambs. Away win banker.

I'm uncomfortable with the talk of having the league wrapped up. Given our cushion, I would take draws against the challengers and focusing on beating the bottom half teams. If we can get 4 points from this and the derby I would be more than happy.

What are we going to do differently that will result in said boom?

Much better from joshua. Better movement and didn't get drawn in. Ruiz looked like he was carrying far too much weight and never got close.

I actually thought Corbyn looked ok whereas Johnson was just parroting the same talking points as he has done for the past month. Likely not enough to win many over to Corbyn but showed Johnson's entire strategy now is talk as little as possible and say even less. Edit to say still voting SNP.

Neilson has the Manager of the month course bestowed upon him just in time for tomorrow's game. United 0 Alloa 1

If shanklands not 100% fit then he should be rested altogether. We have Clark, Appere and Smith which should be enough.

Shite.

Hopefully no issues, weather from 10am onwards is meant to be dry, sunny and above freezing.
