Starting 11

So, Ross and Wighton to the bench. El Bak and Kerr in.

Hateley or Kerr in midfield?

[Derry Drummer]

I would have brought Kerr back in but not dropped Ross. He was our best midfielder last week. 

[eyeothedug]

Absolutely why drop Ross? Shades of PH here. Also think Wighton needs to start each week and build up confidence since it was destroyed by Hartley.

Both were unexpected changes for me.

Lee McCulloch says he reckons we'll have a different set up today, so maybe that's it, but dropping two of our best performers from last week has to go down as a surprise. Hope they prove spot on though. 

[eyeothedug]

Hopefully Hateley at right back. Gomis is certainly seeing a resurrection here. Is it deserved. Would prefer Ghadz or Higgins.

[an-dee]

Harsh on Ross who I like and probably prefer over Hateley. Thought Wighton played well second half last week and El Bak wasn't the best when he came on so surprised at that change. 

[HH66]

Looks like  the plan is to keep it tight

Surprised also and disappointed for Ross. However I have a feeling we are going to see Cammy come in at right mid and ohara move into the center along side Vincent. Only problem then is who plays left mid? El bak?

Ross liked like a shoe in for me too, I would guess that it will be Kerr at RB, O'Hara at RM and Hateley at CM, keeping people where they're happiest, something that didn't seem to happen under PH so maybe all about confidence/morale ??????

The more I think about it the more im surprised at Ross dropping out and Hateley starting. I really believe he must be keeping him at RB and having cammy flying down the right wing and elbak on the left getting crosses in for Haber to bury! (in my head its a wonderful plan!)

[BCram]

We stil have planA available from the bench. This will have been worked on all week, surely?

I'd be happy with that, I think O'Hara should be playing more central myself. Ross was a star last week taking charge and getting balls fired around so its maybe for some specific anti-Killie set up.
