Why's everyone picking Alves
Because he's the best centre half we have maybe?
If he's fit he must play.
Why's everyone picking Alves
More or less picks itself, for me:
Foderingham
Tavernier (c) Martin Alves John
Docherty Goss
Candeias Windass Murphy
Morelos
This 4-2-4 system is too open for me especially if the 2 are Goss and Holt.
You have to make adjustments against the more capable teams.
I fear another Hibs type result tomorrow.
Foderingham
Tavernier Bates Martin John
Holt Goss

Picks itself these days
for me we cannot go 1 upfront at home again, made the mistake V hibs and it cost us bad, HEarts have argubly the best centre back pairing in the league form wise, 2 up is a must to give them trouble.

Tav Bates Alves John
Same for me, is it too soon for Alves?Same team as last weekend for me.
You were quick off the trigger there hahaWhy you playing with only five men then?

The only debate for me is whether Murphy or Candeias start.
I know man, but we done this 4-2-3-1 against hibs and were nowhere, total bug bear starting with 1 upfront against teams at IbroxNot a chance of that team starting mate.
We're scoring for fun and controlling games with our current formation and line up.

Suppose on another day we would have, just felt we made it so easy for them from the word go with 1 upfront but maybe the midfield can hold the blame for not supporting, hopefully tomorrow they make runs beyond Alfredo and get round about him for the knockdownsWe missed a stack of chances and gave away a ridiculous penalty that day mate.
Hibs only effort on goal from 25 minutes onwards was the penalty.
We really should've won that game.

Alves if fit should start

Do we really need 4 players marking Lafferty ? I'd be tempted to go 3-5-1-1 Foderingham

Candeais Docherty Goss Holt Murphy

Agree- throwing him straight back in alongside Martin would concern me though re lack of pace.Without a shadow of doubt.
Good point .. whatever the formation we need to go at them from minute 1It certainly worked against Aberdeen at Ibrox mate.
Another thing I'd say is that since the Hibs game, both Goss and Murphy are much more match fitter and Windass's form has taken a serious upturn.
I expect Holt to return to the starting XIHolt will replace Candelas..

Or you could drop Murphy push John into the 5 and have Bates or Alves at the back
Agreed, learn our lesson from the Hibs game, particularly the first half, we need more strength in the middle of the park. It's a bit tough on Holt but it's not about sentiment it's about winning this game and putting the pressure on ahead of the Sheep and Them game on Sunday.I think holt will come back in. However if it was me I’d keep docherty as he is stronger than holt. Central midfield is too lightweight for my liking.
With Tav & John we hardly have 4 defending at all times.Do we really need 4 players marking Lafferty ? I'd be tempted to go 3-5-1-1 Foderingham

Hearts are not as dangerous as Hibs going forward, yes they crushed the filth 4 0 but that was a one off game at home, Djoum and Cochrane are out aswell 2 of their best midfielders.This 4-2-4 system is too open for me especially if the 2 are Goss and Holt.

Think martin deserves more games before we judgeHe's been better than Martin, who is poor in possession, garbage in the air, gets caught on the wrong side of his man and has not impressed one bit.
I'm expecting one change, Holt for Docherty.
