Oxborough O'Donnell Casey Balmer Wilson Davor Miller Slattery Sparrow Maswanhise Armstrong Not for me SOD needs dropped. Wilson has been poor since november. Davor hasn't played in months not convinced this is the game you throw him into. Ox should be in goal but he'll probably pick Balcombe. Team will should be for me: Ox Kaleta Balmer Casey Sparrow Miller Halliday Thompson Slattery Maswanhise Armstrong If Gordon is back I'd have him in over Kaleta and move Balmer to Rcb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 I’m hoping Gordon is available for this. I’d probably risk playing him even if he’s not quite 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 I wish we'd stop referring to it as a Cup Final, because we usually lose those. Let's just call it a big game and give ourselves a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be more shocked if he hasn't worked out yet that Maswanhise is our joint top goal scorer but hasn't had a sniff yet. Play him with Armstrong reckon we could see something magical.

I’m all for starting Maswanhise. If it’s the good one that turns up then we are good to go. If it’s the clumsy one then we can hook him at HT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Well Well Super Well 👏 3 points tomorrow hopefully, and let's just see what happens in the St Mirren game Not hopeful , but Michael Wimmer done an excellent interview. Let's get behind the guy and regardless of how tomorrow goes if it is bottom 6 hopefully pick up a few points after the split and move on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I can see us losing a goal or two today so I hope we start out with a positive attitude and line up. Lets go for it and score more than Hertz do. If we lose today lets do so all guns blazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couttsy Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 For what its worth Id go with a 4-2-3-1, similar formation to what we started with at Rugby Park last week, but with a few changes! OX back in goals, despite making a big error against the same opposition at Tynecastle earlier this season. Miller playing deeper to get him on the ball more, the older legs of O’Donnell & Halliday on the bench to try and get a bit of energy about us. OX Kaleta, Balmer, Casey, Thomson Miller, Andrews Sparrow, Slattery, Maswanhise Armstrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Even if we don’t achieve top 6 today, a better performance than recent weeks is vital to stop the rot. I do, however, fear that Wimmer won’t change anything from recent weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I'm not totally sold on Andrews. Many rate him highly, but anytime I've seen him he's failed to make an impression and the game passed him by. A young player though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure MW never told the players to go out and play like they did in the last two games, so its down to them to respond and actually look as though they are trying today. As I suspect that if the results go in our favour today and we make the top 6 and are safe from relegation, the last 5 games will be shit shows as the majority of the squad will be in holiday mode.

It was down to them to respond against Killie but they failed to do so, which makes me fear similar will happen today unless Wimmer makes some useful changes.

OX Kaleta, Balmer, Casey, Thomson Miller, Andrews Sparrow, Slattery, Maswanhise Armstrong That’s a decent shout but probably not going to happen. It definitely makes us look more mobile and a better selection to play a high pressing game with all 4 of those players up front capable of scoring.

That's my point - when players don't give you the reaction you need then they should be dropped. Last week should have had a huge reaction after being thumped by Aberdeen and we were awful, shame on the players. This is where I'm looking for Wimmer to react and make changes. The squad is plenty big enough and I'd like to see a few changes to the line up together with the high press and 'knock your pan in' to attack minded players., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our squad is guff and Hearts will have too much for us. The fact that it’s inevitably been hyped up as a potential ‘top six decider’ and all the social media talk of a big day, the sun shining and so on only helps point to one outcome. It’s got disappointment and defeat written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 On 4/7/2025 at 2:36 PM, Spiderpig said: With all due respect that's pish, SK had KVV and Spittal contributing 30 goals between them, MW has Armstrong, Watt or Ebiye so hardly surprising we struggle to score goals and therefore win games As for MW having Multiple chances to secure top 6, that would be 2 maybe 3 games out of the 6 or 7 he's been in charge, aye OK then. Some of the posters on here need a reality check at times, does anyone really think we would be any better off after 32 games if SK had stayed, not a chance we would be at least 6 points worse off. I'm not going to spoon feed you facts that you'll ignore anyway but I think you'll find both KVV and Spittal scored most of their goals under Kettlewell. I mean KVV literally scored twice as many goals in 1/3 of a season under Kettlewell. than he did in the previous 2. Kettlewell also took Theo Bair and made him a goalscorer and I'll even put my hands up and say he proved me very wrong on that signing. If you think for a minute that Hammell's side wasn't poorer that this one then, well I'll leave it at that., because all the facts are there. And I don't know if we'd have been better off under Kettlewell but your claim is purely imaginary, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
