SMJ_1874 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Well it was good to get through to the last 8 and now that I’m thoroughly thawed out from last night like a lot of fellow jambos, then attentions are turning to darkheid on Wednesday night. This interests me for one reason only as it’s Daniels first trip to face one of the uglies away from home. Will he stick with the gegenpress and hope to rattle them on home soil? One things for sure, Celtic will score if we continue to play like we did last night. Dikamona needs dropped and soapy hopefully back. Would like to see Damour involved at some stage. Someone needs to play minder to Andy Irvine to let him control things on the big pitch. Langer is not up to speed yet and imo Walker should start. Possibly a cameo for Advijaj who will score goals in any league in any country...his own words, so make it happen then lad! Our last two league encounters have been a damp squib and I was hoping for us to kick on after the sevco win. Really don’t want another false dawn. I’m heading through to this one, again in hope and wondered if we’ve sold out our allocation? An early goal or two would change and spoil popcorn teeth’s game plan. Keep wondering when we’ll actually turn up in Glasgow and actually give the old firm a game on their patch. Anyway my prediction is for a 1-1 draw. Daniel and Colt have much work to do in the next two days. Good luck! HHGH 🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sertse Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The problem with Septic is that they like to shoot. As others have said before, with Pereira in goals they're going to be shooting just for the sake of it. Against Killie we leaked those 3 goals which came from pretty much nothing. Septic are going to be properly attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALDOS' Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Play like recent form and they will dish out a severe hiding. Using a fancy term for high press with just a bunch of players doesn't work, as has been shown in recent form, even the Rangers game, but for poor finishing would have conceded 3 goals. The players have to have the footballing intelligence to carry it off, Liverpool and Barca(4 or 5 years ago) are the best examples, most teams cant pull it off.

been here before Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Rest players that need rested.

Redhelen Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Think it could be risky not to play your strongest team. What if Celtic are below par? 3 points is 3 points regardless of who you play.

Win against Celtic lose against Hamilton is the same as doing it the other way round When you’re in a relegation dog fight then any 3 points are welcome however we don’t want Hamilton getting too far in front of us. We lose to septic and beat Hamilton and we go above them. The other way around is not a scenario we want to contemplate given we’d have the same 3 from a 6 points tally. Hamilton are our biggest rivals just now. If I had to chose only one game to win then it must be Hamilton. Celtic are just a marker to gauge where we are with Daniel now on board. They’re too far in front of us for us to actually worry about them. However a win in both fixtures would be the ideal scenario! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhelen Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 We're 8 points from safety nowi so resigning myself to our fate is something of a relief! Am hoping you guys can still do it. I'd put last night out your minds, your weather last night has hit here now and there is no way you could play attractive pressing football in it. There will be sone tired legs amongst both teams players that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Celtic are going to score. Pereira was beaten at least 3 times against Falkirk, okay they hit the wood work but an inch down and its a goal. I don't want to sound like I'm being a prick, but the reality is that we're highly likely to concede with this guy in goals no matter the opposition, given we're playing Celtic we're going to need to score at least 2 to win. I don't feel good or confident with this guy in goals. Bobby we know can stop a shot and his errors are more around decision making (should he come/shouldn't he). I'd rather we had Bobby starting from now on tbh. Our players seem to really turn up when the cameras are there so you never know. Will say though, that even if we win I'd bet the house that we through away points against St Mirren and Hamilton as we seem to do after winning big games. Need to play at that tempo every game. Not just when Sky are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay James Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Folk writing this off need to have a word it's themselves. We need points and this game gives us a chance of getting at least one.

KineticBeat Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Obviously I hope we will get something from the game but I fear we'll get battered. Our high line v Edouard and Griffiths is a disaster waiting to happen, especially when twinned with our GK problems and the form those 2 are in just now. If we are to get any of this we need to play with the intensity we did v Rangers and completely disrupt Celtic's game plan and hope they don't take their chances when they fall to them.

amadjambo Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 If we turn up and play well, and catch Celtic on a day where they aren’t at 100%, we’ve got a chance.

Septic are going to be properly attacking. Agree. Our workrate in closing down and awareness around our box will have to be on tune. Get out to people quick, force a pass or at least make it difficult. As an example we can’t afford to do what we did last night when Miller smacked the bar. Too indecisive and we waited on what he was going to do instead of reacting and getting out to him quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know games v Old Firm can run away from you but that’s mostly down to not showing bottle. Let’s not overrate them. Teams have gone to Parkhead this season and made it tight.

N Lincs Jambo Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think Stendel’s gegenpress style is more suited to playing teams like Celtic than your average bottom 6 team. I remember a few seasons ago we played them there under Robbie, got right in about them in a similar fashion, went 1-0 up through Jamie Walker and had at least 50% possession 1st half. We ended losing 3-1 but the score totally flattered Celtic. I would rather we showed some belief in our own ability and with the players we have we I believe we can cause them problems. Ross County could have had 3 or 4 there the other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
