Flybhoy Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 No thread with a couple of days till the game suggests pulses aren't exactly racing for this one. Blah blah budgets, blah blah f**k the old firm, blah blah Celtic can't take any credit or enjoyment from this if they win etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailHailHayley Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 We know County will try & kick us off the pitch up there so I'd expect a lot of changes. Not worth risking injuries ahead of sevco & Madrid. Might have to settle for just the 5 goals this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stressball Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Scintillating discussion on this. I’d like to think it won’t be ten men across the 18 yard line booting anything that moves as it’s a cup game and that Ross County might try and, shockingly, attack… But that would be naïve of me. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoddyKane Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 County have played quite well at times this season so far from what I have managed to see. Its the perfect game to rest Calmac and a few of the others, plenty games to come so tonight needs to be used to give the squad which is good enough a chance to play and stake a claim for some to start more often. The competition for every position is excellent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s not a great appetite for this game, many put off by giving Celtic the whole of the East stand, which might get us more money but does nothing to motivate those who are displaced. Others just assuming that Celtic will inevitably win. Given the atmosphere surrounding the last game many regulars won’t take their kids. It won’t be quite as bad as you say but of course our first aim is to stop you scoring, but only to give us a chance of a win. We won’t boot anything that moves but we will compete. Much like most cup games where there’s a gap between the teams. That doesn’t always mean that games are boring or whatever, but it is our best chance of winning and quite rightly we’ll go for it that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 County sending out a mix of first team and back up guys. Celtic sending out mainly back up guys. It’ll still be 0-4. I thought Akio was meant to be out for the season, but he’s on the bench tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoddyKane Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Surprised Calmac is starting, hope hes not overplayed again this season but Ange must have a good reason to play him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a very fair estimate of the game, well posted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 County's defending for both goals has been so sloppy. I know it's not a full first choice team, but look very disorganised at the back, especially at set-pieces most worryingly. At least attempting to be positive and get forward, and Josh Sims has looked relatively bright when he's had a chance to get on the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The first goal was a disaster. Really no sure about Eastwood so far. Missing Baldwin is hurting us too, Watson/Iacovitti is a major downgrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Mooy has had a good first half. His reading of the game and distribution has been excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 No quality in the final third has totally hampered us. There are wee flickers down the flanks but our final ball/decision making has been poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
