Jim Panzee Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Gonna be the usual really. I can see the headlines. Players / squad worth 10 times another team wins football match easily in "no shock" shocker. It's a bit like the current Norwich team rocking up to Villa Park (based on squad values). Bit of a no brainer who'd win that. Only silver lining will be reading the er....passionate suggestions on kickback after the final whistle. (hoping McKinlay takes a boat load of immodium prior to the game to alleviate his alleged flatulence condition as that's clearly one factor why we'll lose).

TexasAndy Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I wonder what people's thoughts are about Saturday. Is this a free hit or is it damage limitation? I think we are all writing the game off as a loss so does that mean we would be 'happy' with 1 or 2-0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never happy with a loss, however history tells us we have as good as no chance of winning or even getting a point out of it. The current squad of players don't have it them to go there and play well IMO. No belief at all within the group that they can compete with the OF. For a club our size and considering the amount of other teams that put up a better show against both half's of the OF our record is a dismal embarrassment home and away recently.

Debut 4 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Be the usual us through there. Probably make a decent start, defending ok, wee bit possession, some players looking sharp for the first half hour…..then the concentration goes and everything with it. That’ll be that.

upgotheheads Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 EEN running an article on Denholm.

This season we have so many average footballers. Not saying they have always been crap could be due to injuries, age or something else. Its not just 2 or 3 either its around half a dozen if not more.

It is basically a free hit, We need fast attacking football with EVERY player putting in a tackle. Stop them roaming up the park and you stop them playing. Always wary of the ball over the top to Kyogo. Get Craig between the sticks. Both the bigot teams like to rule the park and when their defenders can roam into the opposition half it gives them more players to pass to. Keep Shanks up the pitch with possibly one other, make sure the defense know what the other players are doing and keep heads on a swivel.

We are so set on trying to keep the ball we don't have a clue how to hit teams quickly and its not going to change tomorrow unfortunately. We are going to sit in and probably capitulate like we normally do. If we lose one or 2 goals early there is every chance it could end up 5 or 6. We are also way to susceptible defending against any pace down the sides that Celtic will probably have a field day tomorrow down both sides.
