TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 In games against the old firm teams you desperately need the ball to stick up front, to release the pressure on the defence/midfield. Ayunga and Main did this superbly against Celtic and this was at least in part, the reason for our success. One of them will definitely not be playing and the other possibly not. That’s my main concern. We will also miss Strain’s energy down the right hand side. Stating the obvious I guess, but I’d be more confident if we had our full squad to pick from. The point being I ordinarily wouldn’t have ANY confidence going into a match at Ibrox, even with our full squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleySaint Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Going and having a go will see us get pumped, playing like we did against the green lot will see us have a chance, with a depleted team the best we can hope for is a good performance and a point, anything above that will fall in the highly unlikely category.

Jay I believe is the best at shooting at goal in our squad. It might come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prague Buddie Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 When we play either of the Old firm (especially away), I see anything gained as bonus points. I am fully prepared for the usual defeat, however I do feel that we are probably as well equipped as we have been in 35 years to go there and actually get something. Hopefully 0-0 or 0-1 with a bit of luck. Realistically 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondsman Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I seem to remember that we got a draw against Celtic last season with a team that was even more depleted Than the one we're likely to have this weekend. I'm not in the 'have a go' club, I'm afraid, though it would be nice to think we had the players to allow us to do that. We need to defend for our lives and the point made above about having front players who can hold the ball to relieve pressure on midfield and defence is key. Tonight's Champions League game may also have some influence on the game at the weekend. If Liverpool return to form and dish out a real doing, that might help us.

antrin Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 It is possible to have faith in the manager who organised the available bodies a fortnight ago against a far superior teams bigots, and achieved an understated 2-0 victory. I’m confident that he’s working on it. The blue shower are simply not as talented as the other lot. Nor do they have the depth of talent in which to draw. It’ll be fine.

Slarti Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 As others have said, usually anything at all is a bonus when up against the bigots. However, this time I am quietly confident of getting something from this game, although a lot will depend on who is/isn't available, especially to make the ball stick up front when we have it. I do agree with antrin, this mob are not as good as the other mob, but this is at their patch, not ours. Of course, unless we take the 3 points, the other mob will be accusing us of being closet h*ns and lying down to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Still think our defence is a bit dodgy can see colak having a field day if he gets as much room as we gave Anderson on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I agree to a certain extent. Colak, in the few games ive seen him, is top class. If they double up with Morelos we could be in trouble. On the other hand we really handled Celtic very well, reducing them to very few clear cut chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slarti Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 If Strain injured Fraser right back and Joe back in to make up back five, Gogic, in midfield with Erhahon, Baccus and Ohara. Hopefully fit striker to play up top....pretty decent team.. Shut up ya wee fanny, nobody asked for your wee man input...go away!See what I did there?

Higher Consciousness Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Faraway Saint has single handedly killed this forum, After 5 years of not visiting because of him I can't believe how far this place has sank. Such a shame and such a waste. Anyone else would if been kicked off long ago and have been, Real St Mirren people have been shunted from here while he remains. Unfortunately all I've done is feed his ego but I'm disgusted that he's still here and aloud to kill every thread and every valuable discussion.

Tommy Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 As bad as we might hope they are, any team winning 4-0 at Tynecastle can't be bad. I think it will go as usual with us failing to leave a glove on them and losing 2 or 3 nil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
