Bazzas right boot Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Home game v Celtic and away game v St Mirren. 2 wins On top of the 4 lc cups wins. 2/3 players still to come in. How long can we stay top for 😎 Utd away, Aberdeen and hibs at home next 3 games. Unfortunately I think we'll get beat at Parkhead, but looking at our league fixtures we could go on a wee unbeaten league run. Great start, how long may it continue?

mscjambo Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Think 2-1 flattered them today. All the quality came from us. McEnefff nearly scores a wolrdy. I've been a neilson critic but today I thought they managed them game well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) It was never in doubt, even after being handed probably the hardest start of the big teams. Neilson always starts well with us, as has been pointed out many times. Couple of additions to the squad definitely needed - that bench today was very light. All the people predicting bottom 6 or even a relegation battle are looking even sillier than they did then. We look like a team that will be very hard to beat, but we need to dominate games more. This was a fairly typical away performance but we won against a tricky team who ended up just shelling long balls at us.

Jambos_1874 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hope Robbie gets some credit as too many fans are normally falling over themselves to criticise him wherever possible.

Our form this season will no doubt ebb and flow like most seasons. The thing about Neilson is he knows how to keep picking up points and nothing has happened yet in his second spell to change my mind on that. The Neilson critics need to acknowledge that and not go batshit crazy again if we have a lean spell for a few games.

Fitzroy Pointon Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We need to avoid picking up long term injuries like recent seasons but this is a solid start. I thought we would have struggled today but although we weren't great, we did enough to get the three points. Grinding out results like that are what makes for successful seasons. Long may it continue. Happy for Robbie to prove the doubters (myself included) wrong. He did fantastic the last time he had us in the Prem. Nothing to say he can't do it this time. Another couple of signings needed IMO. My god it feels weird to be this positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if Gnando is a bustling striker,despite his size, but if he put himself about and linked up with the clever play of Boycie, then that might just work.

I definitely think a 3-5-2 type formation would work better against them. If all fit I’d go Gordon Souttar Halkett Kingsley Smith Haring McEneff Beni Halliday Boyce Gnando Harsh on a few players but that’s the side that gives us the best chance imo. Let Boyce roam all over the midfield and forward areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same fixture start as 85/86 but instead of 1/6 or 1/4? - we have 6/6. iirc we lost 5 - 2 to St Midden at the end of 84/85 - on the day of the Bradford fire disaster, so everything in perspective, - and then 6-2 at the start of 85/86. In order to effect a full exorcise of that season , although still my favourite campaign in 44 years of following the club, a last day title victory at Dens would be feckin perfect.
