So my advice is get a bike, pram or a good pair of walking boots. Or a bus, tram or train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2 hours ago, AC Mallin_51 said: Harsh to blame Rowles for conceding the penalty at ER. Kent made an absolute meal of it and put us in that position, Rowles just stopped what was probably a sure goal He was definitely unlucky but the poster was exaggerating his role in the defence, we havent missed him or Atkinson, the defence has been pretty much as good as it was with them.

Nah not how I saw it. Against Livingston, RC, Dundee and Airdrie we have had spells where the defence has looked shaky. I know we were trying to get Halks up to speed, but it certainly wasn't as solid as the Kent, Rowles partnership. Our RB area has been getting targeted too. I hope both Atty and Rowles start.

I think that's a fair assessment. I've had kittens watching some of our defending in recent weeks (while still being pleased at the result obvs) - though maybe I'm a bit of a worrier. I'd be happier with Rowles and Kent at the back. In any case, what a difference Frankie Kent has made to the defence. Last season, every crossed ball was a reason for panic (and the defenders seemed to think so too). Now, I reckon we're more solid than average against crosses, and Kent is the main reason for that.

Victorian Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Rangers, Hibs, Celtic after today. There is a possibility of no more than a point from those. We have to win today to be a relaxed position going ahead. I think it's only Kilmarnock and St.Mirren who can challenge. It would be nice to see them hit a mediocre run. Still slightly wary of Dundee though. Edited February 17 by Victorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzroy Pointon Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Need to be mindful of Motherwell's fast start on Wednesday night, combined with our notoriously slow starts. But I'm confident we can make it a Lanarkshire double. 2-0. Shankland and Vargas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmiyaHearts Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It's a weird feeling, being so confident going into games. But we're scoring today, no doubt about that, we always score. It's a great bit of security to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most likely return is 4 points - 3 from the Hibs, 1 from Celtic, but none from Rangers. Getting more isn't outlandish though.

davie1980 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'm usually a bit of a contrarian If we're on a good run, I get a bit pessiistic and feel it's got to come to an end soon, if we are doing badly I often see light at the end of the tunnel. But I'm not getting that now. We feel like a team that could maintain this form and still fancy a Hearts in today. 3-1 Hearts Vargas to play a blinder and get on the scoresheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveandal Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Massive game. As stated we have, on paper, a tricky run coming up. Win today and even a mini collapse shouldn't stop us from coming 3rd. I'd say Celtic and Rangers also have uncomfortable games this weekend. Its always nice to look upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that one. Craig maybe hasn't been tested much yet, but what he's done has been confident and calming. He was our number 1 before, it's about time he was again. Put it another way, if I'm watching Scotland open the Euros, I wouldn't feel confident with Zander between the sticks, despite how good he's been for us.

Mac80 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2 hours ago, jock _turd said: Did you read what I posted? Deep trough and in the last three games an upturn and scoring some goals. It is just a comment on how the have done. They started the season well then plummeted maybe on the way back now? I’m not so sure to be honest. They got beat by Greenock a week ago. They have been scoring quite a bit this season prior to last two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
