Not a great deal of creativity in that line-up.

 

Interested to see how Lafferty and Defoe get on.

Neither have much match sharpness but it's Cowdenbeath, so should be able to create havoc.

Very interesting line-up. Looks like Candeias will be at the head of the diamond. A bit disappointed Middleton doesn’t get a start. 

[Gonzo79 15,294]

Good to see Katic start again.  Hopefully Coulibaly can use this as a springboard to get back up to speed and it'll be interesting to see Defoe and Lafferty up top.

 

Agree with DMAA, Middleton seems to have fallen out of favour.

On papaer that is rather defensive ...

 

Foderingham

Flanagan - Katić - McAuley - Halliday

Jack - Davis - Coulibaly 

Candeias - Defoe - Lafferty

Subs: McGregor, Worrall, Houston, Kent, Arfield, Middleton, Morelos

 

Essentially, only 3 players attacking, plus Davis the creative man. Would like to see how Flanagan and Halliday push up and support the front line. 

 

Middleton's time will come.

I don’t think we’ll be in a 4-3-3. I think it’s a diamond but we’ll see

If it’s a diamond you’ll probably see the midfielders being pretty fluid and switching position like they were against Kilmarnock. I thought that worked quite well because it makes it impossible to man mark them.
