A deeply unpleasant show, imo, wasn’t good, and has aged terribly almost immediately. Weirdly, to me Friends has aged pretty poorly but Seinfeld… hasn’t, despite being much older. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allroy for Prez Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Anyway…. Sounds like we’re down to the bare bones at the back today with Ojala, Johansen and Lamie all out by the sounds of it. Wonder what the back four will look like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither booking was a surprise. Slattery and McGinley on the verge of a suspension. Another yellow for a pointless interaction with the keeper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 In terms of damage limitation - a 1-0 defeat at Parkhead is at the very low end of the scale, so I'm not despondent. In fact - coming out of a run of games that was Rangers(h)Aberdeen(a)-Hearts(h)-Dundee(a)-Dundee Utd(h)-Hibs(a)-Celtic(a) with a decent haul of points, a good league place and a number of really decent performances is waaay ahead of where I expected after getting tonked by Rangers at the start of it. We now have a lot of teams from the lower reaches of the league and the pressure becomes different and something we are maybe less suited to - but there is a good chance for us to be in a right good position by the winter break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I don't want to get too carried away but I think we can be quietly confident about Top Six. Hearts will probably pick up points consistently enough to motor along in 3rd but below that it's wide open IMO. Aberdeen appear to have turned a corner and you'd expect Hibs and Dundee United to get their act together eventually but I don't see any reason why we can't aim for Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I spent my afternoon putting felt back on a shed roof in the pishing rain, such was my interest in this as a fixture. Good decision it must be said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still see Dundee utd falling away, just cause there squad isn't as good as the rest, however they will 100% be saying the same about us. 5th should be enough to get europe, is that right, providing who wins the cup etc. would be nice, maybe a bit early though to dream, given how tight it all is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It was good to see Carroll getting 90 minutes, the fact that I didn’t really notice him suggests he did ok. Who knows which central defenders will be fit in the coming week so there may be a space in the team for him then there will be a suspension for McGinley in the coming weeks, so he may be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels quite small time but I'll admit my reaction when I checked the score was "Oh, we didn't ship 7? Cool." Going into the game without our culturally Scandinavians and the Bathgate Maldini, as someone mentioned yesterday we've went to Parkhead with better defences than the makeshift one we put out yesterday and lost 4 or 5. So *small voice*..."Yay." Granted if Forrest had scored that chance early on it could have been a different game, if Edouard was still at Parkhead it could have been a 4 goal game but he isn't and it wasn't and that's equally the case if Slattery's ping is a couple of inches lower or Sean Goss actually knew how to put his laces through a ball. Chaos Theory and Butterfly Effect. Could, woulda, shoulda. I had a watch of the full 90 on MFC TV and the first half was...different. A few on here picked up on Alexander talking after the United game about having changed the way we're trying to play that rang true yesterday as well...it was all very front foot, pressing - going to Parkhead and trying to do that is...bold. Yesterday felt like we were continuing to trend in that direction following on from Hearts, United and Hibs. For all it was a bit of a "meh" game it still feels like we're moving towards the sweet spot between Murderball and Football.

Mentioned this in the relegation thread but I can see January being pretty big for a bunch of clubs for a bunch of different reasons tbh. It's true for a pile of teams in the middle section of the league as well (including us) eg: if United lose say Fuchs and/or Siegrist how does that affect them? What happens with Hibs as it's looking increasingly the case that they've just binned off Ross without anyone lined up?

What happens with Hibs as it's looking increasingly the case that they've just binned off Ross without anyone lined up? I thought, first half especially, we looked quite good going forward, certainly tried to get forward quickly, at every opportunity, which was good to see. We tired in the second half, got a bit sloppy in possession, but so did Celtic. It definitely feel's like a corner has been turned since the Rangers game, it will be interesting to see how we fare against the teams beneath us in the table. Livi and Ross county have hit a bit of form, St Johnstone and St mirren are the total opposite. Agree with you there on utd, Hibs need to get this appointment right to keep in touch, also important they keep fit Boyle and Nisbet fit. interesting January coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, related to the point about us looking quite good going forward and given people have had opinions on him since he's signed (on a shree year deal) I thought Woolery had another game where he was showing shades of the sort of thing we'd see Marvin Johnson do yesterday. Which is a good thing, I'd say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been very impressed with him in the past few weeks. Even in the deluge vs Dundee United he was a handful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
