    I agree, we spend too much time worrying about our opponents, when we should be focusing on giving them things to worry about.

    Of course, there will be times when we need to adapt, because of our opponents, but that should be mostly reserved for the likes of cup matches away against teams 2 or 3 divisions above us and most certainly not teams below us.

    I often wonder if teams change their formation to counter us.......they’d have to be a bloody mind reader if that’s the case..

    He may be one of the players who pulled out of training, Novak and Donaldson to start up top for me.

    Whoops. I thought I had dragged Guthrie onto the bench but must have forgotten. I couldn't decide the likely lineup especially as I heard a rumour Novak and Donaldson were two of those who sat out so at one point had had Samiels and Guthrie uptop. Anyway updated it

    There was a rumour those two were part of the 4 who sat out Thursday so maybe neither. Unless it was a major injury Novak is surely going to play but I'm not so sure if its true they would risk both

    So based on the twitter photos Novak if the rumours were true is fit and is likely starting. Also looks like Watt and Clarke are starting

    I'm guessing from those pictures they won't be getting a shower after the game

    His choice of system may well be right for some opponents and surely the law of averages means that one day it'll be the one we're up against on the day

    They haven't won a game this season; we can't lose.

    Looks like Staunton was one of those 4 who missed training and didn't make it
