texanwellfan Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 1 minute ago, C&A not the shop said: We're set up better for winning games against Rangers and Celtic than we have been for a while. We're not reliant on having possession to score, we look to go front to back quickly, we've a threat from set pieces and we don't concede a lot. That said our defence hasn't come up against a team with rangers quality yet but still I can see it being a tight game tomorrow. Might see the "hammer throwers" patter getting dragged back out (it definitely will if we get a result). I’ll be more than happy to take that abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coatsy Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Don't look thru claret and amber tinted specks, if Aberdeen had been any good at finishing they would have beat us last week. I don't think we are as good as some think yet but hope this team can carry the luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. After the first 5 minutes we defended really well and restricted their opportunities to half chances where Kelly was well positioned. We had the 4 best chances in the game, and took 2 of them.

Hope Springs Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 A lot of factors have got us to where we are today - better and different recruitment, a shift in tactics and less naïveté during the game, and a resilience and physicality that means we are less willing to roll over like we did in the past. Today will see all of that tested more robustly than before but I feel modestly confident we can pass that test if we apply ourselves properly. Every game has seen a raising of our standards, and today it will require a significant but achievable lift. But we can do it - COYW!!

CoF Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 We only seem to give ourselves a chance when they're playing shite ("we'll never have a better opportunity etc etc"), so it's nice to go into this with a bit of confidence because of what we're doing right rather than what they're doing wrong. It just feels like we've got a team that won't be fazed in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Rangers are not the team they were last season and in our current form we can go their and ruin the title party once again. Is Owen Coyle available for selection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if that is what takes priority. I have never seen any posters complain about players who can be physical. I have seen plenty of posters - myself included - who want to see a balanced team that includes some ball-winners and some players whose priority is to put their foot on the ball and find a pass. There's a reason Turnbull commanded our record transfer fee and it's not because of his tackling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could withstand a heavy challenge and still retain possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennyc Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Solholm took a knock against Aberdeen and was hobbling a wee bit in the second half. Pretty sure after his performance last week that he would be in the squad if fit. Pity, certainly looked to fit in well beside Ojala.

Stuwell2 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Loss of Solholm - after his display last week - is a blow. Hopefully Mugabi has a good game in the centre of defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
