Nothing acceptable but a comfortable win tomorrow. I'd revert to a back 4 to replace a defender with an extra positive player. I'd go for something like Hutton Fordyce Crighton Kerr McCann Thomson Roberts Wedderburn Carrick Gallagher Smith Not including Hawkshaw as he's barely played all season but he could easily come in on the left ahead of Carrick if the manager fancies him. Can't make the game tomorrow but I hope the highlights are at least enjoyable

We've definitely looked more solid with a back 3 in my opinion but those 3, plus two wing backs, and a couple of defensive minded centre mids seems to commit too many men to defence and there's no creativity in the team. Might be worth trying the back 4 again to try and fit guys like Thomson back into the team. On the other hand it might be that there's no right answer because that's how it felt watching that today.

Hutton obviously to thank for those three points today, and I also think Millar was excellent in the second half at helping us see out the win, but worth noting that Kerr, MacDonald, and McKay all had solid games again. All three are young lads which has me feeling (without getting too carried away) fairly optimistic for our future.

Think Eckersley will probably start to play on the left of a back 3 in the long run but I agree it would be harsh to leave Kerr out. I'm a fan of Thomson and generally prefer to see him starting than on the bench but I'm not sure about him as a wing back. Rest of the team looks pretty much as I'd expect and hope for. -
Smith's our best talent up front, Carrick's our best worker, and Gallagher's our best goalscorer. I like Ally Roy but I've no doubt he's our fourth choice. I'd be happy to see him prove me wrong though. Think he looks much better up front than on the left though and to be fair to him he set up the opener today.

McKay over MacDonald for me and I think a midfield pairing of Roberts and Hawkshaw against Falkirk would be madness. Wedderburn may not have covered himself in glory last weekend but realistically either him or Millar has to play. Would like to see Hawkshaw get more game time but I can't see how he fits into a 442 other than out wide. Arguably too lightweight to play in a central pair and I see him as more of an attacking midfielder you'd play just behind the striker. As for Reilly he's a 17 year old that I know next to nothing about. Must have got him on loan for a reason but I'm not shouting for him to be starting games yet. Gallagher and Smith up front is a must imo and I wouldn't mind seeing Carrick on the left but what's wrong with Euan O'Reilly? He's an actual winger as opposed to playing strikers there.
