mellors1874 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Looking forward to seeing me and my boys on the TV with the amount of goal mouth action they will have on Saturday. It will be like a training session of defence Vs attack. If Celtic turn up it could be anything north of 5 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas-voss Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 What about 361 with Humphrys up top. Going to be honest I have no idea who the feck is fit or not now so Humphrys, Gordon and whatever else we can cobble together.We def need more in midfield though as the two in the centre whoever they are are just constantly overran.

PapaShango Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 This one could get messy! They love beating us and if they really go for it we will be in big trouble with the defence we will likely have out. He needs to change something back there for sure. The WC break can't come quick enough for us, we just need to steady the ship and hopefully pick up some points before it or we will be nearer the bottom than to 3rd. We can't score goals or keep clean sheets which means one thing and that's tumbling down the league at the rate of knots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB1874 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Smith(if fit) Sibbick Neilson Kingsley Forrest Devlin Kio Snoddy Ginnelly(if fit) Humphreys Midfield 3 sitting and protecting the defence, cutting passing lanes, keeping us solid centrally and forcing them wide. Forrest and Ginnelly chasing back to sandwich them between Smith and Kingsley. Get 5 subs these days, depending on who's fit you can switch in McKay and GMS for wide midfielders after 60 mins. Beyond that we can't do any worse than actually give youngsters half an hour instead of 2 minutes. A complete change of tactics required (imo) to deal with a massively superior opponent. If we don't put in a disciplined, organised performance they will score as many as they want. Could easily be one of those Mark McGhee style 9 goal scorelines if they score early and we lose our shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Don't concede an early goal and don't get a player sent off and we'll do OK. We haven't really had a chance to get at the likes of Istanbul ( although we had a couple of good chances) , Rangers or Fiorentina as we got players sent of or conceded early- or both. All a bit shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason why St Mirren can beat Celtic, St Johnstone can run them close, but we have to accept a hammering. The tactics and mindset need to be different.

Bauld Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 It's great we have VAR to make things an even bigger shambles but I feel like Scotland has missed an opportunity to properly lead the way. We should have taken VAR and turned it into the rugby style system where you can hear the conversations between referee and VAR team. Let the fans hear the process, the thinking behind the decision. It works. In rugby it works and in football it would be no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder and Lightning Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Sadly can't see anything other that a kicking here.

Gorgie_Rules Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Need to take a different approach, easy for anyone to look at our recent performances and see how vulnerable we are at the back. Back 4 with 2 centres back and 2 holding i’d say. Hard to justify giving McKay a start due to his performances in big games.
