Right, Europe and insignificant investment aside for a post - tomorrows game.
What changes, if any, would people want to see?
I ask this because
a) I think a lot of the 'first team' could do with a rest.
b) With no disrespect to our domestic opponents, we are in a position, unlike say, Malmo, where we have a bit of lee way in RDs second season to give youngsters a chance to showcase.
So my team:
Bailly
Janko
Virgil
Boyata
Tierney
Brown
Henderson
GMS
Rogic
Armstrong
Griffiths
Gordon has done well so far this season and changing a keeper may be viewed as more detrimental than most positions but I'd just like to see a bit of Bailly. I'd like to think he can genuinely challenge for No.1. Was immense in Germany.
Janko and Tierney quite simply to replace full backs but keep Virgil and Boyata together to develop their understanding further.
Hope Henderson gets a run out. Could partner Bitton or Brown to be fair. Just put Brown in as I think he's fitter than Bitton.
Rogic is a player that I was really looking forward to and I've put him with the young GMS and SA. But Commons could easily come in and do a job.
Griffiths. Only real option.
Too many changes? Perhaps even in defeat it would be worth the time?

Good shout Jim more so I would say in right back

I thought Henderson went to Dundee Utd on a years loan?

JT. the only one exception I would make is Gordon, Its all very well getting a rest however for keepers its a different story, they need to be match sahrp.

I would be happy with that team Jim as I would like to see some guys rested for Malmo and some of our youth and fringe given a chance to prove themselves.
Finally, I would like to add that we can't keep signing players if we want to see the young players developed.

Commons infront of rogic for me but not a bad shout the rest

Think there was talk of it Junglebhoy but I think he's still with us.

Wouldn't mind seeing some youngsters given a chance, but geez a break with the players getting rested. It's August

Would love to see this sort of rotation but don't think as many as that will happen, RD has been good at giving youth more chance however he said last season he wouldn't change too much after the poor start we had. RabMac spot on we can't keep signing players and give youth a chance.
I understand comments from supporters wanting a couple more and better quality however I'm just happy we have a guy in charge wanting to develop youth in a way we should have done 3/5/10/20 years ago (take your pick).
