anyone reckon Tom Cairney might get a nod in the middle?

I hope so, I thought Saturday was crying out for Cairney when Fathi came on, then as soon as he did we stopped just hoofing it and started to play football again.

Id go with:

Stockdale
Chester Hobbs Bruce
Elmo Meyler Cairney Quinn Brady
Gedo Koren

Oxley Rosenior Fathi Evans Stewart Proschwitz Simpson
 
Our defence is going to have to be at it's best with Rhodes and Campbell running at us.
 
Can't see why everyone is expecting Koren to come back in. I thought he was crap again when he came on on Saturday. How many times can he have such pathetic attempts at shots as that daft 'lob' before people start to realise he lacks basic footballing skills required for a playmaker.

Nice to see someone else sees this...
Spot on.

Bruce said he left Koren out on Saturday to give him a rest and keep him fit for tonight.

I expect that Koren and Evans will come in for McShane and Simpson, but that isn't necessarily what I'd do.
 
I hope not, Koren doesn't strike a ball properly like Simpson. I know Simpson never ever gets in a position to get a chance to even shoot nevermind score, but on the 100/1 chance he did get a chance to shoot he hits it hard and low into the corners away from the keeper, where as Koren once missed by about 10 feet wide of the goal from about 40 yards, so I'd choose Simpson on account of that.
 
Koren averages 10 goals a season, there isn't many midfielders who average that at NPC level. Yes he has his faults, but his positives outweigh his negatives IMO.
