we shouldnt get over run if we play 433 in attack and 451 in defense

It'd end up being that way, anyway. Samuel's a lazy c*nt and would stay up front while Savo and Holmes ran back. Sure, he can score if he gets enough time, but without any contribution in other areas, it leaves us weaker overall.

He's basically our Boydie, but with more technique.

Really looking forward to this one due to the fact that Del has a virtually fully fit squad. So many options he could go with but my personal opinion is:

Main

Irvine Dinky Caff Craig

Millar Hardie Jody Swankie

Homo Savo

Hillcoat, Ando, Mooner, Sammy, Sheerin

That leaves two very unhappy footballers in the stand for a bumper crowd at home.

Paper talk is that Caff still isn't in training so I'd expect to see Ruti and Ando start with Caff as subby.

First half news

The Queens team showed four changes from that which lost to Clyde on its last outing and a change to a 3-5-2 formation with Burns and McQuilken in the wing-back positions. Back into the side came Craig Barr, Andy Aitken, Stephen Simmons and Stewart Kean in place of Parratt, Sives, Weatherston and Dobbie. The latter two were on the bench along with new loan signing from Rangers, Stephen Kinniburgh. Craig Sives has now returned to Hearts at the end of his loan spell but there was no place in the sixteen for Parratt. St Johnstone were along expected lines with an attacking line up in the only first division game to survive the frost thanks to the Perth club's undersoil heating. Even so the pitch showed obvious frost in the centre.

Queens started brightly and the match was less than two minutes old when O'Connor turned Gary Irvine inside out and cut the ball back for Stevie Tosh to strike wide of target across the face of goal. Five minutes later Queens had the ball in the net when Jim Thomson smashed home Barr's header across goal from a Tosh free kick but referee Mike Tumilty spotted a push by Barr and disallowed the goal. St Johnstone showed for the first time of note on 12 minutes when Steven Milne's completely mis-hit shot fell perfectly into the path of Derek Holmes twelve yards out but the big striker blasted wide of target. Seconds later Paul Burns was booked for a foul on Hardie.

The next half hour or so saw little in the way of chances as St Johnstone gradually began to take more control of the ball in the middle of the park. The next significant chance of note though arrived on 38 minutes when Jim Thomson beat Alan Main to head goalward from a corner but Stewart Kean's diving header only succeeded in diverting the ball narrowly wide of target instead of into the net. Two minutes later at the other end Andy Aitken moved smartly and threw himself in the way to deflect a Milne drive over the bar but in the end Queens saw it through to half time scoreless in relative comfort.

Reading this in a hotel in Detroit (America's Rust Belt answer to Sheffield Duncs) so missing live match. I'd settle for a goalless draw that may sound pessimistic and like squandered points, but this league will be won by grinding out points rather than by big wins.

True. The rest are playing catch up.
