Hearts vs United - Sunday 6th April (2.30PM)

Does anyone know if Adegboyega's suspension is 1 match or 2? I always assumed a straight red card was a two match ban.

Be a huge boost if Docherty suffered no ill reaction to playing his first 90 minutes in over two months. We badly need him for the tougher games coming up.

Assuming Gallagher and Manny are back. What XI and formation would everyone play?

It depends what the straight red card is awarded for.

Serious foul play or violent conduct is two game suspension.

Denying a goal scoring opportunity is a one game suspension.

hopefully our good friends up the road take something off the maureens to confirm our top 6 place, which puts all the pressure on hearts to win

Can't see Gallagher being back if he's strained his ligaments but it will be interesting to see if he puts Mani back in at CB.

For me, I wouldn't be changing that starting eleven from the weekend too much.

The one change I would make  though would be to drop Stephenson for Babunski,  decent surface and retaining possession will be very important.

Every week folk say they want Babunski in the starting eleven. I can see why.

There's not a chance in hell though. He'll make the odd 5 minute cameo and be away in the summer.

I don't think Babunski would start for any team in the SPFL. He just isn't up to the demands of the agricultural Scottish game.

I'm not one of the ones that continually call for him to start and certainly not on that pitch last Sunday.

But horses for courses for me,  this Hearts side are not your typical Hearts side and they  their fight and dig has been questioned on multiple times this season.

They have a wee guy that's 5ft nothing in the middle of the park and 17 year old laddie (great player) that's built like the side of a fiver.

We will need to keep the ball a hell of a lot better than we have in recent games and he is capable of that.

That said I do think it's unlikely but the question was what I would do.

Definitely. Sibbald isn't back to his best yet but definitely starts alongside Docherty.
And again I would expect Stephenson to nail that 3rd midfield slot.
Hearts have been playing well but they're definitely fragile when under pressure. And they definitely start this game under more pressure than us. It's a fantastic surface so hopefully we can play a bit of football. Vital not to concede an early goal.

451 without the ball.

Walton
Strain Manny Graham Ferry
Svelj Luca Doc Sibs Glenn
Dalby

Stephenson has been poor for me for a good few weeks.

I'd put Vicko Sevelj back in midfield and play Manny at the back. Either alongside Graham or in a back three.
