Poor decision to replace McKenzie with Alston IMHO.

[carpetfitter]

One good - Hodson, one bad - return of Alston 

[C4mmy31]

No mention of Haunstrup in TW's injury report this week again, yet he fails to even make the bench.... All very strange.

yes, especially away from home where Rory has ranged from excellent to good.

[Scouser2]

Mid November and TW still doesn't know his best team nor has a settled system , yet 

Hope this latest line up worke, but lack of pace real worry 

[TKB]

Agree with Hodson in 

Disagree with Alston in

I just feel we're slow everywhere. Armstrong isn't fast, the wee legs just go like f**k. Quick feet though. 

I'd love someone like Jones, Tope, Invincibile playing wide with raw pace

Agree 100%.... McKenzie should have kept his place and bout time Naismith was dropped imho.

[trenwick]

wow Mckenzie arguably our best player last few games dropped for alston who arguably our one of the worst.... 

[red_dug]

Can only assume Rory has a knock of some sort. Alston and McGinn should never been in the same 11.

[Pride_of_ayrshire]

Id have kept McKenzie in but dropped Polworth for Alston. McKenzie has ran the midfield the past 4 games.

On the happier side Naismith dropped bout time

 

[Pieboy]

Hmmm mixed feelings about this XI. Glad to see Hodson in for Naismith as he was poor last few games. Don't understand taking McKenzie out of midfield for Alston. Think we will miss McKenzie for legs and work rate in there. I suppose he can come off the bench. Good to see Burkie starting and also good options off the bench. The whole situation around Haunstrup is odd. Heard a few folk say he's injured and he's been spotted limping apparently yet Tommy hasn't mentioned him. Can only assume there is something going on there but hope he's okay. Here's hoping for a better team performance today and good result!

Over run in midfield again today then 

[Stokekillie]

Got to hope TW can get his tactics right today. But worried about total lack of pace in midfield and from evidence all season 4 4 2 just doesn't work. Massive game for TW to get a win today.

[casual observer]

I’d be surprised if we get overrun with that 3 in there, more likely a disappointing 3 for getting in the box or passing through their back line. 

[Malkmus]

Alston is Tommy's boy

[kerrwmorton]

Rory must be scratching his head. TW must have forgotten that Alston going off and Rory moving into centre mid at the Piggery saw us start to control and dominate the game. 

I'm no expert but I'd expect similar type of game especially at Cappielow. 

[galbraj]

I think we'll do the business today.............with Burkey on the scoresheet!  Mon the Killie! 

[LH31]

Good luck Killie! 

[Scouser2]

Back in time feel again, nowt much changed at cappielow, ground n a few of the dodgy locals , but at least it's not raining...

Hopefully our decent away form continues

Odd choice. I don't mind Alston but taking McKenzie out removes mobility in a team already lacking it. Would have made more sense to drop Polworth or Hendry. 

[Mogwai]

Looking at the line up, Polworth is the key man for us. 

If he plays well, we play well.

Game is live on BBC radio.

Quite possibly. Less movement without Rory, Robbo.
