With the injuries announced ahead of tonight's game I don't know about other Bears but I think the defence looks stronger if this is how it turns out! Robinson; Faure, McGregor, Zaliukas, Wallace.

If only McDowall would bring back Mackay and play him and Templeton in the middle and play two up front (Clark & Daly) we might actually beat Hibs! Too much to wish for I guess.

Temps has thigh injury but Vulic could take his place problem is mid field that where battle has to be won i'd play nicky clark up front to help aging strikers and consider bringing back faure putting daly at centre back with macregor but then again iam only a fan not a manager

Doiger Cammy Bell will start. Lee Robinson looked terried on his last performance when Simonsen dove in to the post remember? anyway Bell is back to ful training, a goalkeeper unlike an outfield player does not need to be "match fit" like an outfield player. I heard Foster and Moshni are also injured. I don't know if Smith is fit again but reckon we will go with:

GK Bell,
Def: Smith, Mbabu, McGregor Wallace
MID: Law, Vuckic, Black, Hutton
Forward: Daily, Miller


But I would go 4-3-3 I would bring calum gallagher in, play him on right instead of black with Daily in the middle and Miller on the left. I personally think Miller is the only one out there trying to make something happen , shouting at other players.

{Ed039's Note - It has been confirmed that Robinson is starting tonight, Bell is not deemed fit enough yet. Confirmed by Gordon Durie)

Peeny arcade though a goal keeper doesn't need to be fully fit(leg injury could prevent kick outs) I think bells injury as a different kettle of fish mate, he had an operation on his shoulder and though he is back in training I don't imaging McDowell would be mad enough to give him the jersey, but like most ime dying for him to be match fit.

Funny I was thinking that too though Zaliukas seems to be AWOL?

Faure was obviously 'banned' by ally and pals after 'Cakegate" so unlikely though I would have the four you list as our defence all the time with Bell when fit.

Then Law Hutton Vukic Temps midfield with Clark and Miller/Daly up front

All that said our woes are management/coaching based so with no game plan or tactics ever in evidence I can't see us playing well and winning again until after the EGM and new management in place

On the EGM I hope this 1 WEEK delay does not change the EGM date of 6th March? ED do you know if that date has to be stuck to when venue found that is inconvenient enough?
