This game for those reasons will show me what pride and professionalism our players have.For that reason,I am somewhat naively confident we will put on a decent display in spite of Canning and his Masters upstairs.

Understandably after the Annan & Celtic debacles patience is low which lead to the near hysterical reaction on this forum and others like it to a slightly unfortunate (I understand) narrow away defeat to the currently 4th best team in Scotland.
For Friday I would expect the same team again with the exception of Devlin coming in for Jesus which should make us stronger defensively with the advantage of having our on field organiser back. After a shaky start Devlin deserves huge credit in the way he's come back in after a 9 month serious injury lay off without any pre-season and a minimal amount of game time.
Canning's big issue is how do we create anything from the current formation - ideally you soak up pressure and then hit quickly on the break but we are a team with so little pace. If Morris starts then he needs to hold the ball up so much better than he's been doing.
Strange game football sometimes and no matter how unlikely the eternal optimist in me will go along Friday hoping for a huge turnaround from our last drubbing.

Canning got the subs correct!
Vital point and a goal at home!
