My team would be
-----------------Kello------------------
------McGregor-----McAusland------
Naismith------------------------- Kelly
---------McGinn----Goodwin----------
Teale-----------------------------Wylde
---------------McGowan----------------
---------------Thompson---------------
I almost went with McGinn left instead of Wylde, with Djemba-Djemba starting, but I'd have things this way in an attempt to have as many players playing in their natural positions as possible.
I'm glad I did this, running through the squad confirmed for me, once and for all, that it's not the pool of players that's the problem. I was going through each position, with the exception of centre half and centre forward, and rather than struggling to find a body to fill the jersey, like I thought I would be, I was leaving out good player after good player. Guys like Van Zanten, McLean, Djemba-Djemba, Magennis, Campbell, Newton aren't in there, and these are players who would play regularly for almost any team in the SPL. We have a very good group of players, it's making me wonder more and more why Danny Lennon and Tommy Craig (who I like by the way, before anyone jumps down my throat) can't make it click. It's very frustrating.
Also, just to say, I know the team I've picked can't and won't happen, due to the terms of Newton's loan deal, but going just by who is out best XI, that would be my pick.
