Spiderpig Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Ok so now we have the 1st win of the season sorted its on to Celtic on Sunday, I honestly can't see anything other than a defeat, so I hope I am wrong. I might check the odds on DT scoring for Celtic as I think its a certainty if he plays, thoughts please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 If we lose 2-0 it will be a success, cant see us getting anything. If DT starts then à good chance he will score but maybe it will be 0-0 going into injury time and Polworth megs him then runs through to score winner.......and then I woke up!!

weeyin Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Either Celtic are going be feeling the pressure and struggle to perform. So will beat us by the odd (self-inflicted) goal. Or they are going to be fired up looking to put their Champions League exit behind them, and we could be in trouble. Let's just take it to them the same way we took it to Hibs and see what happens. If DT does make an appearance at some point I'd bet a fair wad that Campbell will nail him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Pathetically searching for omens, not long after our previous record sale moved to Celtic we drew 1-1 with them. I'll take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Some have been drawing parallels with our 2014/15 season. We managed to get a 1-1 at Parkhead around the same stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 In the interests of sporting integrity, I hope that Celtic don't select DT on Sunday, or if they do, he doesn't actually play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm not sure fielding a player you just employed is lacking integrity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Either Celtic will man up or they'll be exposed for the disarray they are in. Can't say which way they'll go. Draw would be a more than acceptable result. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the deal would have been nearing completion a day or two before our Euro tie. Had we played him he may have picked up a slight knock at worst or at best tired him self out. As it is he will be fresh for Sunday, benefitting his new employers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's standard practice for just about any team who is about to transfer a player. It ensures we get a better price and sweetens the deal for both parties. If we'd played him, Celtic (or any suitor) would be asking for a discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The African Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 We are probably on a hiding to nothing with this game. As such, we have nothing much to lose as long as the outcome doesn't affect our performances in the next few games. I reckon that our best hope of taking anything from the game is to sit in and try and frustrate them. Whether we have the personnel to do that is another thing altogether. Lose an early goal though, and it could end being a very long afternoon. If nothing else, this fixture may help show up the areas of our squad which will need attention in the next few weeks if we are to see the team move in the right direction up the table.

To be honest to a degree we already know. The wide areas and supply from that area are a disaster, I would get rid of all our wide players if possible bar Lang ( I know it’s not that easy). We need Carroll back as soon as possible along with another centre half in my view. We then have the debate on a central striker with an eye for goal and just how much the loss of Turnbull will impact. I’d be amazed if the Celtic game is anything other than a heavy defeat, they will be stinging from the criticism from Lennon and will batter us.

I’d be amazed if the Celtic game is anything other than a heavy defeat, they will be stinging from the criticism from Lennon and will batter us. Yes, I think most of us know where we need improving, but does Robinson? I think we have been a little unlucky with injuries, especially at left back, but we have been found wanting on too many occasions and it has cost us points. I agree that another centre half would be a priority. Someone akin to an Aldred or Hartley to add steel and leadership beside Gallagher, or as a replacement should we receive a decent offer for him. Up front I also agree that our wide players aren't cutting it. I do feel that Long, Lang and Watt have the ability for this level and it is probably unfair to judge White at this early stage but it is possible that he will never make the step up. Seedorf has shown signs of improvement but we are not in the position to be able to give him too many games to see if this will continue. Hastie looks off the pace and if Hylton is considered behind those options then he probably isn't the answer. I think that, in the search for versatility in our attacking options, we have ended up with a number of jack of all trades who can fill in a number of positions but who fail to excel at any of them.

livivoice Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Very good post from The African. Re tomorrow. Although expecting a loss I do feel that Thursday night will have given the team a lift . Consequently I'm anticipating an organised and disciplined performance . Also see the ' runners' Long and Lang causing an already troubled Celtic defence some problems. Factor in the absence of Eduard and you know what we might not be that far away from taking something.
