Any thoughts on what the team line-up should be tomorrow?

I'd quite like to see McAnespie given a chance if he's fit - he might give us a bit of extra width.

I'd also be tempted to give Doris his first start if Dobbie's still going to be ruled out.

McAnespie is struggling to make it due to the flu - I would be inclined to make just one change from last week and that is Coyle out and Henry in - reverting back to 4-4-2.

Although with the tight pitch, it may be better to work with Scotland in behind and if that is the case, Doris and Milne up top.

Think I'd go for a 4-3-1-2 in this one.

Cuthbert

Anderson Rusty James Stanic

Stevenson Sheerin Jancyzk (if fit - if not, McAnespie - one of them is bound to be fit!

Scotland

Milne Dorris

Thought Dorris played well last week - had pace to burn and will give absolutely everything for the cause.

Give Sheridan a wee break. Makes us a bit powderpuff in the midfield but I think we need to be looking to breakthrough Brechin with guile rather than a battering ram.

Scotland in behind to run at their centrehalves. He'll cause all sorts of bother there IMO.

Anderson to stay in the team for now. He's playing well so no point in changing anything there.

Would be my team... but I can't see it happening.

Stanic is the answer to out Midfield problems IMHO. He is our most cultured player, I say put him on the left side of midfield. Not sure who would be the best option to cover left back - Dyer was good last season.

Up front I would try Dobbie again with Milne and put Jason Scotland on the right of midfield. That would give us two midfielders capable of going forward (as well as goal threat Paul Sheerin :) )!

I think he is our worst player when he plays at right back. He's a decent centre half but rotten on the right.

I actually think he's better at right back. He has a bit of a tendancy to go forward so playing him centre is a bit risky. Good cover though, as you say. In all honesty, I'm happy to see either Anderson or Mensing at right back. Both are decent enough players so its good to have a bit of a choice

Dobbie and McAnespie are almost certainly out so don't consider them.

Anderson is good enough in either position, but I would throw Mensing in as he certainly looked like he had a point to prove when he came off the bench last Saturday.

I agree with the 4-3-1-2

Cuthbert
Mensing - James - Ruti - Stanic
Henry/Janczyk - Sheridan - Sheerin
Scotland
Milne - Doris

Subs: Paston, Ando, Henry/Janczyk, Coyle, Hannah

I agree with chopper's line-up here. Wasn't sure on giving Doris a start but he did look lively last week and will bust a gut for the cause.

I've not been too impressed with Anderson at right back recently so no hesitation in bringing Mensing in.

This will be a tough game but I think saints will handle it.
