With regards to Itten getting lost, I have to disagree. No fans makes this just like all the other games with no fans IMO. There won't be that intensity from the first whistle with fans demanding every lunge and tackle to be 200%. Itten is a smart footballer and I dont think he would let us down if played. I just worry about Alfie letting us down. I can't get it out of my head. He's progressed in this dept. but his idiotic lunge at Tannidice suggests to me that a leopard can never change their spots.

If Duffy plays it throws up a few questions regarding Alfie IMO. Duffy is a carthorse but he likes to be physical and this can be where they can exploit Alfies temperament. He stupidly let himself get involved with Duffy in the last game and could easily have been hooked at HT. We need to exploit Duffy's obvious weaknesses (slow and ponderous) with guile and speed not pure physicality. Could Stevie G throw a curve ball and start with Itten? A physical presence but a more level headed temperament?
