jbee647 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 We are not guaranteed to be seeded even if we win tomorrow, depending on StMirrens result tomorrow we will need to win possibly by a few goals to be seeded and avoid potentially the Old Firm etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee are seeded and St Mirren also probably seeded if they beat Partick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Don't like this seeding thing in cups. We're as likely to beat Rangers as Dunfermline in the cup these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Good to see certain folk staying away from a thread that is to do with football, funny that happens when We are winning. Need to win, secure seeding and it would extend our unbeaten run ( excluding friendlies and training games). Hit celtic next week with confidence. Can't wait to smell that smell!

Guest ToqueJambo Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) I feel Neilson is taking this cup amore seriously than before this season, which is great to see, but I do wonder if he'll be less worried about being seeded and more interested in trying a couple of players and maybe resting someone like Souttar in advance of the Celtic game. We're through to the next round which is all that matters. I'd be as confident against a seeded team as an unseeded one in the next round.

When Damour came on against Sunderland he couldn't control the ball and made a cross that wouldn't have looked out of place in the lions game - kicking into touch. Id rather he didn't play at all. Its unlikely we can pay his contract up, and he looks absolutely bereft of confidence (and talent) so can't see anyone taking him on even on a free. May as well tell him to put his feet up for 2 years so he doesn't stink up the team with mistakes. Not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copa-mundial Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Would really like to see us start quickly today, and keep the tempo for long spells of the game. A mass win today would be a huge confidence booster going into the game next weekend. Win today. Hopefully be seeded for the draw. Get through the game with no injuries.

Saint Jambo Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Being seeded is the priority. One of our two chances of a trophy, we need to be giving ourselves every advantage. Neilson also needs two good cup runs to help turn round the opinion of some fans. 12 points in the group stage with 4 comfortable wins isn't changing anyone's mind, but it is one less thing to beat him with. With that in mind, I don't think we have the luxury of all out changes today. Maybe one or two. So the question is which to go for. These wouldbe the one's I'd consider. - M. Smith in to centre back and one of the youngsters (probably C. Smith) at right wing back. Right wing back is a problem for us if Smith is injured. Being able to move Smith into centre back as cover would also be helpful as I get the impression Popescu is considered a liability. - Swap Kingsley and Cochrane. I said on another thread that I think they might be more suited the other way around. - Play Damour. I agree with those saying that if we are going to give him a chance, we actually need to give him a chance. But to be honest, if Neilson was going to give him a chance I think he would have featured by now. If he doesn't play today, time to get down to negotiating cancelling his contract. - Start Pollock. I'd rather see McEneff get more game time and bring Pollock on later. - Play Walker. He is about the only player on the bench that I'd have hopes for making an impact if we are 1-0 down to Celtic after 60minutes next week, but I'm concerned he has played so little football. He appears to be another one Neilson really doesn't fancy. - Start Gnanduillet or Henderson. Not the change I'd go for. If a win is a priority, play Boyce. If things are going well at half-time, bringing both on and changing shape to a front two would be an interesting exercise in seeing how we can adapt. I know some posters are suggesting playing several youngsters, but I've always felt that is a bit of a disservice to them. Better to give one or two a real chance in a strong team, than ask them to look good in a team that has been weakend in various areas. On balance the two changes I'd go for from the start are moving the two full backs into centre back and playing Kingsley and Connor Smith as wing backs.

DG_HMFC Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The last game before the league opener next week so I'd expect the players to be bang at it and in top physical condition by this point. This isn't just a meaningless game, this is a chance to keep the momentum going and build confidence. 2-0 Boyce and GMS the scorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
