I'm not going to get too upset if we get hammered. If we win and get through it'll be a huge shock so, like MTS, I'm just hoping for a decent performance (or signs of encouragement) and no injuries.

Will Naismith stay loyal to Rowles who has been a bombscare. The guy is too lightweight and he can’t head the ball. Not good for a central defender with a 5 year deal.
Not many left sided options though.

A loss of form is one thing but dropping him isn't going to improve his ability and I fear it's ability that is lacking. Probably tactical awareness as well; His feck up in the first leg infuriated me and took the wind completely out of our sails on the night and could (we'll never know) have cost us millions. He also played a part in the shambolic defeat at Dens with the pass that put Denholm in trouble although he was facing our goal receiving a shit pass from the keeper so I could cut him some slack there I suppose.
I was hoping the likes of Kent would lead to an improvement, simply by telling him what to do, where to stand, when to challenge etc but, apart from the fact that's maybe asking too much of Kent, I'm seriously worried we have made a mistake with this guy. I understand why we snapped him up on a long-term deal after the World Cup but how do you punt (or drop) a guy on a 5 year deal?

Rowles form seemed to mirror Gordon in his pomp. Clark is very good, but was it Gordon talking him through the game that helped? We also had Smith in the defence who was very astute
I dont think it is lack of ability, but his form and confidence seem shot. I would b tempted to play Kingsley in there and put Cochrane back to LB for a couple of weeks. Denholm back in midfield, seeing as Grant isnt in the squad. I woudl be temtped to play Sibbick in there too as a three man midfield. Boyce and Shankland up front and Vargas in a free role behind them.

I’m just looking for a good performance, not gifting them goals. Damage limitation and hope we don’t get slaughtered.

Happy enough with that. Think I would have prefered Denholm back in midfield.

Certainly going for it with that line up. Midfield worries me, but I suppose with Haring and Beni crocked, we're short of cover there. Just hoping we're not as shot shy as we were at the weekend, and we put up a decent fight.
Also, hope our fans behave and take care over there. The Greeks have some mental supporters and the police are just as mental.
