St Johnstone are away to Dundee in Scottish Premiership action on Sunday, looking to bounce back from Wednesday's defeat against Hearts.
Put yourself in Craig Levein's shoes and pick the Saints team you'd like to see start the game here.
Image source, SNSAndrew Considine believes St Johnstone played "some of their best football" against Hearts in the 1-0 defeat.
It took a lone goal from in-form Lawrence Shankland to see off the Perth Saints, and the defender believes his side should take positives from the performance.
"There wasn't an awful lot in it [even though] Hearts had the majority of possession," Considine told SaintsTV.
"First half it took us a good 15-20 minutes to get a grip on the game, once we did I thought we played some really good football, some of the best football we've played without creating an awful lot.
"But I felt the style of play the manager's after we did to a tee in the first half. Second half they went a little more direct and that's where their goal came from. It's a sore one to take.
"Since the turn of the year the team has defended pretty well in most games, but in tight games like that it's doing it for the 90 minutes and making sure you get a clean sheet. That wasn't on the cards today but we can take plenty of positives from it."
We asked for your thoughts after St Johnstone's narrow defeat to Hearts.
Here's a taste of what you had to say:
Peter: Nothing much in the game and a piece of magic from Lawrence Shankland shows what having a striker who can score a goal gives a team. VAR continues to ruin the fan experience though.
Anon: Having watched the game I can't understand how the manager can have five forwards on the bench and only one on the park. I am still not convinced by Craig Levein and his side-kick. Their tactics are purely defensive and then have a go in the last 10 minutes. It is a very hard watch and will not encourage fans back.

St Johnstone manager Craig Levein: "Frustrated a little bit. But there was a lot of things I was pleased about.
"It was a pretty good performance and passages of passing football. We more than matched Hearts when we got into it after 15-20 minutes.
"I was pleased with the performance, obviously not the result because losing at home is never a good thing.
"I thought we deserved something from the match, but we didn't get it. Hey-ho.
"It's Lawrence Shankland that's undone us. He's strong, intelligent and he can finish. He's got a nice cool head in the penalty area.
"We restricted him to very little in the whole match, but that shows you it's not about looking after him for 90 minutes, but even more than that.
"But I saw some really encouraging signs and hopefully that's us back on track."

St Johnstone will be disappointed with the ease at which Lawrence Shankland was able to get into their box from a simple long ball, given his lethal reputation.
What's clear is they miss midfielders Dan Phillips and Matt Smith, both of whom are on the treatment table. Manager Craig Levein said he wanted more quality on the ball than in recent games, and Phillips in particular provides that.
His composure, strength, and ability to get Saints moving forward is unmatched by those who step in in his absence. Having said that, the hosts still showed glimpses of good attacking play and had chances.
Benjamin Kimpioka and Adama Sidibeh looked lively, if raw. If they can add more goals to this team then they should be safe from relegation.

The January transfer window for many, if not all, managers is a search for a striker. St Johnstone have found one in Benjamin Kimpioka.
The speedy Swede showed what he's capable of with the winner in Saints' weekend win at Ross County and may just be the ingredient Craig Levein has been looking for.
With Levein's former club Hearts visiting Perth on Wednesday, Kimpioka can go in search of his first McDiarmid Park goal.
Liam Gordon, Matt Smith and Dan Phillips are set to miss out again for St Johnstone but could be back for Sunday's game against Dundee. Ali Crawford and Drey Wright are still not ready to return while Ross Sinclair and Cammy MacPherson are long-term absentees.
Hearts have Cammy Devlin back in the squad after a two-month lay-off due to an ankle injury, while Stephen Kingsley returns after missing the win at Dundee through illness. Australia duo Nathaniel Atkinson and Kye Rowles will return to the club on Friday after their involvement in the Asian Cup. Peter Haring, Barrie McKay and Liam Boyce remain out.

Image source, SNSSt Johnstone have lost each of their last five league meetings with Hearts, failing to score at all in their last three.
Hearts have won their last five league matches against St Johnstone, while they last won six in a row against a particular opponent in the top-flight in September 2010 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
St Johnstone have only lost one of their last nine Scottish Premiership home games (W4 D4), a 1-3 defeat to Celtic in December. However, one of their three home league defeats this season did come against Hearts on MD1 (0-2).
Hearts have won each of their last three midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league matches, last winning four such games in a row in the Scottish Premiership in March 2016.
Hearts’ Lawrence Shankland has scored in five of his last six Scottish Premiership appearances against St Johnstone (5 goals), including both so far this season.
St Johnstone midfielder Cammy Ballantye has joined League 2 side Clyde on loan until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old started the season brightly for the Perth outfit, featuring in all four of the club's League Cup group stage games, scoring inside a minute against Alloa Athletic in a 4-0 win.
But after appearing in their first two Premiership games of the season, Ballantye had not featured for the Saints and heads to Clyde in the hope of earning game time under Ian McCall.

That was a big win away in Dingwall.
We're still a long way from playing the kind of football we would like to see, but ultimately we need to be pragmatic and get the points on the board to survive this season.
However, we can see a bit more pace in the side, which is a huge plus. As much as the County defender made a huge error in the lead-up to the winner, I don't think that ends up in the net if it is, say, Nicky Clark chasing the ball down.
Benjamin Kimpioka has the speed to gather possession and face up the defender before his opponent can get himself set, whereas anyone else in our squad probably ends up collecting the ball with a defender tight to him and his back to goal.
That pace is going to be important going forward - and if it can be harnessed in the right direction it should be enough to see us over the line this term.

After his side lost to Hamilton on the same day, the former Hibs captain says he was glad to see Saints win so his house wasn't all doom and gloom, with his partner - sport presenter Eilidh Barbour - buzzing with her team's victory.
"It's a massive result. It really, really was," Bartley told BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
"They've probably put a little bit of daylight now between themselves and Livingston, but also Ross County.
"It was a huge game, a real six pointer. I had a happy household, obviously, with St Johnstone winning because Eilidh [Barbour] was happy for once.
"It made my weekend a little bit better, becaus after my defea [managing Queen of the South], I was down in the dumps, so at least one of us won this weekend.
"For St Johnstone, it was huge. Craig Levein has gone in there with Andy Kirk as well. They've had a bit of a bounce at the start, and then they went through a bit of a sticky period. Hopefully now they can go on a little bit of a run, but I think St Johnstone will be safe, if I'm honest."

Yet another impressive performance and clean sheet from Dimitar Mitov as St Johnstone picked up a huge victory over Ross County.
There's been a big turnover of players at McDiarmid Park over the last few years, but the Bulgarian international is quickly becoming one of their standout signings in that period.
A top keeper.

Benjamin Kimpioka showed St Johnstone fans how big an impact he could make as he netted his first goal for the club against Ross County.
The January signing sealed three precious points for Craig Levein's side, and their first away win since July.
"I'm happy [to score], more importantly happy for the three points for the team, and hopefully we can build on this," he told SaintsTV, external.
"I've been in those situations many times before [one on one with defenders], so I was just calm and collected and found the right finish.
"[Scottish football] is very exciting, high-paced, a lot of running, a lot of hard work.
"It's very exciting football and a lot of games all the time, that's what you like."
