Homme Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 We will win this comfortably imo. Things are coming together. No point in dwelling too much on another loss at Ibrox - I'll take the positives on what was an excellent defensive performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 This is going to be tougher than people expect as Martindale really knows how to set up & get the very last drop of talent & effort out his team.

AC Mallin_51 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 A win ensures the worst case scenario is 4th and 2 points behind Aberdeen going into the break. A month ago if you offered me that I would’ve snatched your hand off. Failing to win could see us slip to mid table. Massive game this, the psychological impact being in a good place going into the break is very important, especially with a very favourable run of fixtures to look forward to at the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shepherding balls out with supreme confidence I felt tonight. Rowles beside him is a proper CB too, so we've got two proper CB's and a much more natural feeling defence, rather than full backs trying to cover etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The joy the entire squad will have for 3 Aussies will be a facror imo.

bobby bombscare Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Think they'll be tougher than many on here think. This is a team that has taken points of us, his, Aberdeen and rangers (not all of which is at home, so they're not just decent on the plastic pitch). I think we will win but reckon it will be closer than many predict. 2-1 to us I reckon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better team than Hibs with a manager who knows to put the right type of player in each position and to play in a way that utilises their strengths . None of their players are world beaters but Martindale gels them together to be greater than the sum of the parts All that said I think we will win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxfee Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Rowles makes a huge difference. He’s immediately made the defence more secure and I now don’t expect teams to always score from corners. Will be a tough gig against livi but we have added a bit of steel to our game so see no reason why we can’t get a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Mikey Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm gagging for this game. A 3pm Sat KO. (All too rare) A sell-out.

A Livi team led by a manager who is more than likely going to make a game of it. He's no Tommy Wright (imho). But ... ... Nae home plastic pitch advantage!!! Anticipating a sooo-fu*king-perb pre-World 🏆 - cum-Memorial Day atmosphere spurred on by The Gorgie.

TexasAndy Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 This is another big game. If we win on Saturday we will be in a very strong position after what has been a terrible time with injuries and a tough spell fixture wise.

AndyNic Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 We only have 7 points from the last 6 games. This is a must win. Livingston have 10 points from their last 6 games and would go 5 points clear of us in 3rd place if they win. If we win we go 3rd or 4th at worst in to the World Cup break which is massive.

iantjambo Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Wins for us and United will put us 3rd going into the break. When the league restarts in December, we should have all our defensive players fit again (Kingsley might still be a doubt though). That should set us up nicely for the crucial winter period.

They've been smashed 5-0 away to the sheep & also lost to Motherwell & St Mingin on the road & even Ross County beat them at home on the plastic pitch. We need to be aggressive, get the ball forward early & close them down fast when they have it. An early goal is a REAL game changer in more than ways than one, it'll alter their entire plan & they'll have to take risks they don't really want to. Let's hope we get one, and a few others.
