4-2-3-1 with Jacobs at right back, Lyon & McAlister sitting, Orsi up front? Still three centre backs with McAlister back there and Salkeld on the right, with Jacobs and Lyon in the middle and a front three of Muirhead, McPake and Orsi? Something else no one could guess?

Could be a typical caretaker manager type flat 4-4-2. Who knows.

Why is Fjortoft not on?

Incredibly daft and reactionary take to assume he's  been dropped for that. He's hardly Alessandro Nesta, is he?

 

The fitness coach guy is one of Hopkin's appointees anyway and is likely disappointed by the situation as well, so the conspiracy doesn't even make sense.

I don’t know where to start with that line up. Could be a few different set ups really. 
Fjortoff on the bench is a fucking joke though, even if that’s a 442 he starts. Big man has been solid

[dunning1874]

Chris Dodds from the Tele suggesting it's Strapp at centre back with Muirhead on the left, which would be the most ridiculous thing which has happened to the club this week.

Don't think that was a foul from McLean.

But McLean was in their half. We're looking more attacking than normal.

[TRVMP]

Orsi's close control on the left there was excellent.

ITS THE mORTON GAME

That gormless arsehole Mackinnon squirming his way down to the dugout. Why’s he still in a job?!

Is there a footballing reason for dropping our best player this season?

Get in there

[AyrshireTon]

A goal.

A real actual goal!

[TRVMP]

AN OPEN PLAY GOAL!

Okay, poor "clearance" from the Pars, but Strapp put the cat among the pigeons and McAlister finished it sweetly. Not the prettiest but extremely effective.

Got to say we've looked quite a bit better today. We are inviting a bit of pressure and it's clear that McPake has to be doing more defending than he ideally might, but it's not wave upon wave of attack like last week. It's managable. It just means we have to take chances at the other end, and we've done just that.

McElhone on a three-year deal, please.

[Drew Busby's Moustache]

GET IN!!

Lovely, more long throws please.
