vegas-voss Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well can we ? I know it's best to just take one game at a time but Burley's run is always mentioned by the press right now so it would be great to get that monkey of our back.

portobellojambo1 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well can we ? I know it's best to just take one game at a time but Burley's run is always mentioned by the press right now so it would be great to get that monkey of our back. Personally I don't think it was specifically the number of consecutive games we won that got the press talking vega-voss, I think it was a combination of things which included that run, i.e. the manner in which we were playing as well, the fact it happened right at the start of the season, and I think they were probably also interested with regards to Skacel's involvement, and his run of at least a goal per game and a potential new record. That's by the by though, I can see us winning next weekend at Motherwell if we approach it correctly, however the scunner game could be the following week at Parkhead, where the referee/linesmen selected will play a huge part in the outcome. At this point in time I would be more than pleased to leave Parkhead with a point, or if we do lose I would accept it (reluctantly) if the performance level has lifted significantly from when they beat us at Tynecastle. If we had approached that game in the same manner we approached yesterday Celtic would have left Tynecastle defeated as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I honestly don't even want to think about it. Csabas spot on when he says we have to start each week from zero. Without disregarding the excellent result from yesterday and the current winning form, the team have to concentrate only on beating Murderwell and collecting 3 points. All the focus has to be on selecting the right team, tactics and discipline. After the dismal performances of the last 2 years and our morale sapping position at the end of last season Csaba needs to manage the fans expectations. A top six position after the split must be our first objective. Where we lie within that top 6 will possibly determine whether we get a Europa spot. If the fans have a reasonable expectation by the new year, we might see a few thousand buy up the 1/2 season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's best to just take one game at a time but Burley's run is always mentioned by the press right now so it would be great to get that monkey of our back. I think that's unlikely looking at our games in December (Darkhead in particular). If we take yesterday's level of effort/performance into the next few games then I for one would be more than happy & I'm sure the point tally will keep totting up as a result.

The Gasman Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Not trying to be pedantic, but the maroon tinted glasses we all wear at times can result in rather "selective" memories of past times. We didn't ever actually win eight games in a row under Burley, we got pumped out the League Cup by Livingston during the run we all remember.

Ryan Gosling Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 No but I'd argue that, should we beat Motherwell, it will be almost as worthy of praise as Burley's run because we have 'lesser players' at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure -- while the manner of the victories shouldn't really matter, and I think Csaba is doing fantasically well with what he's got at his disposal, I still have that feeling that we could easily get pumped rotten in our next three games. Not something I could have said half-way through the Burley run. Still, I'm predicting we'll defeat Motherwell, lose to Celtic, then hopefully sneak a win agains Sc*mdee United. If we draw against Celtic and win the other two, then it'll be a truly amazing run given where we were at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Gosling Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I don't understand why we should fear Motherwell.

Ben Dover Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Provided we can keep up the teamwork / workrate and our application then I think we could take the points at Firpark and Aberdeen. We'll have to watch that Levein doesn't manage to nullify us again at Tynie though - however I believe our midfield is now posing teams far more problems than when we relied solely on Mikey Stewart ( which CL obviously picked up on in previous visits ) As for the Celtic game. Well I'll just be happy if we come out and perform on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Don Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 To do so would mean winning at darkheid, and tbh i cant see that happening, ill be happy with a draw against the filth. No reason why we cant make it 6 out of 6 though by beating murderwell next week, the team is growing each week as the run continues and you can see a confidence in the team that hasnt been there for a couple of years anyway, I would be astounded if we pulled of a result against the filth though, but if we did then we have to seriously look at possibly a second place finish again, at the moment its probably just a dream to get second, the longer our run continues though the more it becomes a very possible reality.

Dirk Diggler Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Never mind winning 8 on the trot. With the team we have, should we manage to avoid defeat at Fir Park and 'Paradise' it'll be a greater achievement than anything Burley done at Hearts. I don't think we will however.

Probably not, no, with Celtic coming up. I'd think REMAINING UNBEATEN in 8 games would be a more reasonable aim. If we can avoid defeat against Celtic and Dundee Utd, we should be thinking about an unbeaten run FAR FAR longer than 8 games (when you look at the fixtures that follow ) Apart from a tricky wee trip to Kilmarnock I dont see a game that worries me until the end of February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 As always the next game is the most important. With Motherwell getting stuffed by Hibs and Aberdeen in recent weeks, and with us being on a great wee run of form I would hope that we can extend it to a 6 game winning streak! I am not looking beyond next weekend in terms of games, we just need to keep it going week in week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 We have to go to that Lanarkshire slagheap believing we can do the bizzo there, but not getting carried away. Self belief, organisation and a bit of skill got us through yesterday, we have to apply the same, but I'd say, to an even higher degree at that sh*thole. Not an easy win by any means, but deffo achievable if we go there in the right frame opf mind prepared to scarp and abttle for 90 minutes and let the playmakers do the rest.

Victor Meldrew Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I remember that in the long unbeaten run of 1985/86 the mantra was taking it one game at a time. The moment we start to think about games two or three weeks away, we'll lose. FWIW I don't think we'll win eight in a row, but as others have said, there's no reason to think we can't go 8 games (or more) unbeaten. I say this because there is no team in the SPL that is unbeatable at the moment. whilst Celtic are 7 points clear, it is largely because they are more consistent (and have got the rub of the green more) than other teams: 'in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king'! Even if we don't win eight in a row, we've managed something this season that Burley didn't: winning at Falkirk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win at Motherwell and Parkhead then IMO Laszlo's eight in a row would be better than Burleys. It is important that we do not place too much importance on matching that record though, If Laszlo can turn the club around and get a good league placing that will do me fine.

I agree, hence my statement that it would be IMO a "better" run of games than the Burley run. However any such run is not the be all and end all, if offered a defeat against Motherwell in exchange for third place at the end of the season, I would happily (well, grudgingly) accept the offer.

Perhaps I could ignore the rules, accuse others of being a bigot, throw personal abuse around and still stay suspension free, That seems to work for some. I think I might try that. Thanks.
