What would your team and formation be? There's a lot of talk that we should use these games as preparation for next season so I would like to see us get back into a traditional 4-4-2 shape and I want a couple of untried youngsters to
be given a chance in the side.
What are St Mirren's strengths and weaknesses? Like ourselves, St Mirren will be looking to blood a few youngsters so I'm not really sure what kind of team they will put out. However, in the previous three games, they have proved tough to beat and well disciplined. Jim Hamilton's height caused us problems a few weeks ago.
How will you counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses? The pressure is off now and I would like to see our players relax and play some good football. If we do that, we should be too good for St Mirren and I'd like to see us get Kingston and Mikoliunas on the ball and see what we can create by playing around them rather than just going through them.
What do Hearts have to do to win the game? For some of the players it's going to be a culture shock. Tynecastle is going to be half-empty and I would like to see how the players react to that. If we can keep the heads up and produce a semi-decent performance, I think we will win the game but ,if we don't, then St Mirren could be the type of team to embarrass us.
