Guest TPAFKATS Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Great thread. Definitely couldn't be included as a post on any already running [emoji849] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just for some balance, today's result doesn't make us world beaters, it's still early days. It does instil some belief in the team and the manager, which can only be a good thing. Getting through is a major bonus, although it shouldn't be forgotten, we didn't lose any games and a draw at Killie was a good result. Definitely changes the mood for next Saturday.......................well, for most supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidebud Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Is the next round draw seeded?Yes. 4 European teams and 4 best group winners are seeded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft to say considering so many goals was ultimately what put us through but the actual scoreline and winning margin was secondary in terms of importance to the overall performance. Think we needed to see dig, urgency, understanding of each other, doing the basics correctly and pressing high. We got all of those today. The number of goals we scored wasn't the deciding factor on how we judged the team today. Even if it had finished 2-0 or 3-0, the support would have been thoroughly impressed with how cohesive the team looked. Not to say I'm not delighted we pumped 6 past and got through but I'm just delighted we looked like a football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't playing three centre halves, Cammy had guys in front of him as well as getting support from McGennis and Willock. It seemed to make sense.

Speedysaint Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Stubbsy!!!

southsidebud Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Stubbs bettered Jack's League Cup Record. Now he has a chance to better his cup result at Pittodrie [emoji846] (Shouldn't be hard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
