Presumably McGrath behind Dennis. That midfield could get raped !!! Shit, I didn't even clock Tait wasn't in. Right. Interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'm not overly impressed with that line up to be honest. It feels like he might have bombed this game to keep certain players fresh for some of the upcoming home games this month, and give some guys some minutes. I actually fancied us to do something today, so seeing that team is a bit disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Perhaps Goodwin's thinking is to pack the middle of the park with players to combat Celtic's narrow diamond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His thinking is that the Tombola must be obeyed no matter what mad shit it spits out. But naw, you might be right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 People moaning on Twitter that Flynn isn’t starting. Never expected him to. Played a full 90 mins on Wed so we need to manage his workload so he doesn’t suffer any setbacks.But yeah, looks like 3 at the back. Odd. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 That's a random line-up. The only bit that isn't a surprise is Flynn on the bench as asking him to start twice in four days after so long out was always pushing it. Goodwin seems to have decided if we don't know what our tactics are then there's no way Celtic will be able to work out what we're doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No obvious left back, putting Erhahon there would be terrible for him. 3 wingers in the starting 11 as well, looks like Goodwin has taken the opportunity to rest a number of key players for this. Only way I can see it, but still a baffling decision. Celtic aren't in particularly great form, have a lame duck manager who has yet to make a signing this window AFAIK, are fragile with set pieces which accounted for our first two goals midweek - I know OK did it a coupla seasons ago but was against a stronger Celtic side and we were in the then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyM Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 It is an odd line up for sure. D-H and Flynn need managing so them being on the bench makes sense, but we could do with another body in there. Is Mason injured or away? Is Tait carrying a knock? Unless Connolly, Durmus and McAllister have been briefed to get stuck in, we are potentially carrying too many passengers when Celtic have the ball. Alternatively, JG is a tactical genius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hoping for a strong hesgoal stream for this one.Its them. There will be plenty of streams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) If Goodwin's team selections could be summed up in a movie, it'd be.. I'll go with the others, 3-5-2/3-5-1-1 but at least there are options on the bench to change it should (heh, oh, boy..) yeah... should it not work out that well. Perhaps a nod towards the heavy schedule ahead of us, who knows. The only concerning thing is no Mason at all, which would maybe suggest his issue is more serious than first reported.

Doctor Sanchez Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 3 at the back and two wide men in the middle. Goodwin on the tranny now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I mean, yes it's the third game of an extraordinarily heavy month and a bit which encapsulates 12 games in 5 and a half weeks. Yes it's away at Parkhead. Yes Flynn was unlikely to start given his exertions of Wednesday. But f**k me, that line up absolutely reeks of selection bingo. I hope I'm wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just now, Doctor Sanchez said: 3 at the back and two wide men in the middle. Goodwin on the tranny now. Mentioned Celtic's midfield diamond and us trying to match them in the midfield and use the two wide men. As always, he spoke really well. Sounded surprisingly up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just seen the Celtic line up. The 3 in midfield and their two up top give me the fear. *MON THE BUDDIES...!* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Going to be a lot of squad rotation given our hectic schedule. Of the next eight games this is the one we are least likely to get something from, so makes sense to change it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Started fairly well. Couple of long range efforts on target from Dennis and McGrath but easily saved. Celtic not offered much. Looks like a 3-5-2 with Durmus and Connolly as wings backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
