fizoxy Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 The back to back wins takes the pressure off for this game, and I wouldn't be surprised if we go with the same lineup as Wednesday, save any injuries. I don't think that would be a particularly good idea, but can see it happening. I'd like to see us keep the same formation though, rather than try to be too clever, I think that's our best chance of getting anything. My biggest worry in that regard is the center backs, we still look shaky there and the clumsiness of Lamie and Mugabi terrifies me since Celtic will get those marginal penalty shouts. Either way, St. Mirren have shown it can be done, so I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I used to not mind Lennon too much (I never 'liked' him, but I disliked him far less than cunts like Rodgers in previous years). This year though he's shown himself to be a petulant wee dick and I'd really quite like it if we could put the final nail in the cunt's coffin on Saturday. 3-2 to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go 4-3-3 then I'd replace Crawford with O'Hara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Regarding penalty shouts, it makes a difference when there aren't crowds screaming at the ref. It also helps that Celtic are well out of contention for the title, so refs feel less pressure to avoid "robbing" them. Saying that, I have zero expectations in this game. The main thing is we keep our performance levels high and see what happens. We are terrible at keeping clean sheets at the moment, so I expect we need at least 2 goals to get anything from this game.

Spiderpig Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 As much as Celtic are a bit of a shambles just now the omens for the game are not good, was just reading we have lost our previous 7 games against Celtic with an aggregate score of 25-4 so it will be a tough ask, but not beyond us if our approach and attitude is good from the start.

Devante was quite clever NOT to give the journo an incriminating quote. All the more reason to pump them tomorrow. Lesson for all MSM readers: never believe the headline.

underboyleheating Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Getting anything from the Old Firm. is a bonus. I’ll accept a point, however, three would be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 You have the hope we might be able to do something like St Mirren did but no doubt it’ll be a routine home win with Turnbull on the scoresheet. The Killie game is probably more important but not to the extent that we don’t bother here, which I’m sure won’t be the case. Hopefully with some training and squad integration with the new defenders we won’t have to see Lamie feature again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 This is an ideal situation to avoid rushing people into the lineup before they're fully fit, plus it rewards those responsible for the last two wins. We're telling players they are in control of keeping their spot, which is healthy. Now, that does mean lamie and mugabi against Celtic at parkhead and little likelihood of a clean sheet, but the pressure is off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
