MJC Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 As has already been said, one of two scenarios are more likely than not to happen today and they both begin with an S. 1) Sickened As we were on both occasions we played Celtic at home last season in that we hang in there and lose late on. or; 2) Skullfucked A defeat by four or more goals which if we concede inside the first ten minutes is a distinct possibility. Either way it won’t be pleasant viewing. I’m going for the second scenario and a 0-5 defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 It all depends on how Celtic play. For us to get anything from the game, we need to be on our game while Celtic are off theirs. It's that simple. If we can take anything it's a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that. However, our problem is that our midfield, even with the likes of Nicholson, Paton, Slattery etc is simply not set up to, or capable of, screening the defence. That immediately puts the likes of Wilson, Gordon and the Ox under pressure. We badly need an Ally Mauchlen, Stewart McLaren, Colin O'Neil, or Steve Jennings to stick their chin out, get in their faces and make tackles 40 or 50 yards out.

MJC Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 David Dickinson is the referee today with Alan Muir on VAR. I don't believe any match official is deliberately biased but you do get some who are very easily swayed by St.Brendan putting his hand up at every 50/50 challenge and Callum McGregor getting in their face trying to referee the game for him. I don't envy the match officials in games involving Celtic to be honest as they know that if they give decisions that don't suit Celtic then they will be scrutinised and harassed for weeks on end. So I don't think it's a case of requiring an impartial referee it's more a case of requiring a strong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 Kaleta and Sparrow in for casey and Robinson. Looks like SOD right of back 3. Happy with that line up, glad Robinson on bench, hard shift for Stama. COYW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 SOD is the worst defender in the team and hopeless in the air so move him inside. The sheer idiocy we have come to expect from Kettlewell and Frail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 Only thing with Kaleta is I've noticed is being caught wrong side a few times. He does have pace though. Think Robinson needed rested. Sparrow gives a bit of energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least we avoid the frustration of seeing him bossing about our pitch after his Scotland performances. I'd take winning 0-0 the now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 I presume our tactics will be to keep it tight until we'll into the 2nd half and then make some changes. Ap Stam will have a pretty thankless task but the run out will help his match fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Stama was confirmed as a stomach bug on Saturday, so hopefully that will have passed and he will be fit to start. If he is we really need to leave him up by himself and put an extra player in midfield. Either Sparrow if he is fit, or Maswanhise to give us an out ball when we eventually do win it back. If we go the same again as Saturday it will just be wave after wave of Celtic attack and the inevitable 3 or 4 nil. SK has already said there isnt going to be a kneejerk reaction to Saturday so he isnt going to make wholesale changes (its just not his way), so the best I think we can hope for is Ox Balmer Gordon Casey SOD Wilson Davor Halliday Miller Sparrow /TJ Stama Good to see SK reads the board 😆 Super impressed that he is going for it by playing Marvin and moving SOD in one. That will give us more of a threat going forward and he should have the legs to deal with Maeda better. McGregor out is also a bonus. Lets get intae thum!

What I would like to have confirmed is who actually pays for the repairs? Rumour in the past was that Celtic agreed to pay if we did not go public, over charge, or make a fuss. But that all fell apart when Burrows highlighted the extent of the damage a few seasons ago. Perhaps something our new Board will address? Even after all their Uefa fines, I'm pretty sure they can afford to Another 'capacity' crowd in the South Stand...well done again Boab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
