wellboy1991 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I know there is a match day thread for it but what’s our thoughts for Saturday. I wouldn’t be adverse to going back to a 5-4-1 or 3-4-3 whatever you class it as. It worked in the away game against Rangers to an extent and also at home to Celtic. Kelly (unfortunately) Spencer - Casey - Butcher - Blaney - Gent. (Howevef appreciate likely to be SODs and Spencer on left) Davor Paton - Slattery - Spittal Mika. Play Mika on the defenders shoulders and supported mainly by Spittal pushing up. Doubt he will but if Ketts plays 3 strikers we will be utterly fucked as need an extra body on midfield to try and match Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I don't care that it's obviously not a real possibility - but a wee chink of light in what's been a massively drab season is alright by me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Honestly, this is the type of game where we might sneak a point, then get beat by Dundee a week later. The point is, I don't expect anything this week so let get some positives in and enjoy the Scottish cup draw to see who will put us out this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 It’s got to be a return to the 541 for this game. I just hope we don’t get first post of the thread embarrassed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLDL/W: Kev is his pal and a great player anyone would want, international break is hard for football clubs, standard game plan and character sound bites, folk should stop sacking managers, football club, football club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we don’t get first post of the thread embarrassed. I just don't think the 5-4-1 is viable anymore without playing rapid fullbacks (i.e. Gent and Spencer) and Sak won't do that at Celtic Park if anywhere. Teams know to shut down Slattery and Spittal straight away. The striker becomes isolated and the wingbacks get blocked because they are either on their wrong side or too slow. To be clear also, I don't think 3 up top is viable. Not really sure what is. A long afternoon awaits.

Quatermass Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 9-0-1 formation for Saturday and beat 3-0. Games a write off. Already focusing on Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Spittal LWB, Wilkinson up front by himself, SOD doing whatever he fancies. Easy points, lads. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I don't even care about the weekend. I will be watching the match thread to see how many of the loser Celtic fans on this forum don't post for 2/3 hours to pretend they were at and actually go to the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 If it’s the same line up/formation as v Killie and Hearts then Kettlewell might aswell go. Of course it’s a massive massive ask, but our situation/run is so dire I don’t think we can just right this game off completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Old Firm games are bad enough, getting them at the start or end of an international break is even worse. Anyway, as ever I'm not to bothered about the result tomorrow. It could be a cricket score but that's 90% dependent on them rather than us. As long as we show some gumption, organisation and don't collapse completely, I'm fine with getting it over and done with and moving in to Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 HAVE I noticed that before? No I haven't, WILL I be able to ignore it now? Listen, and I've said this before to you guys, I don't get to decide these things. I can only focus is on what's best for this football club. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Mugabi back in. Butcher probably into midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
