Coventry Saint Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Our first trip back to Parkhead after we forcefully applied one of the nails to Neil Lennon's coffin last time round. That game was a genuine Jim Goodwin tactical masterclass, showing slight tweaks to our approach to make the most of the opposition's weaknesses, and we capitalised quite magnificently. I'm not quite sure where that tactical mastery disappears to the rest of the time, but here we are. I wasn't optimistic about our trip to Livingston at the weekend, so of course I'm not optimistic about this. I think Hearts have done the 'catching Celtic cold' thing already and I doubt that's about to be repeated. The demolition of Dundee was concerning for us, to say the least. We are without Kristian Dennis after red against Hearts. I'm assuming/hoping Alan Power is back after sitting out vs Livi. I could tell you our precise line-up right now, but not in a good way. We are currently very one-dimensional, overly direct, incredibly predictable and lack pace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 @Grangemouth Bairn there, posting with all the bravado that only seven points from nine in *checks notes* League One can grant you. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky67 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) With the momentum we have we should win this one relatively comfortably. Hopefully we see a few new faces in by next weekend also. I'd be happy with a 3-1 Edited August 16, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The last time I was this trepidatious about facing Sellick was January 2013 as we had just been pumped 4-1 at home by Ross County. My fears were, of course, unfounded and I hope that will also be the case come 5pm on Saturday. However, I'm not holding my breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to mention this to their crowd vs Galatasaray. The 'Saintees' chants were coming through loud and clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoddyKane Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Im enjoying watching every game this season, even in the early games where we had poor results the football was better to watch . The last few games its been just pure entertainment. Chalk and cheese compared to last season. Im thinking 2-1- Our defence still makes mistakes and midweek game may have an impact 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'd love to think we will only lose 2-1 but I fear a good old spanking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 No away fans again, surely celtic could let a few hundred in to watch their team, especially when so many fans have been starved of live fitba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
