16 Oct 2020 23:09:59
Ralston played and scored in tje bounce game during the week. We are at our bare bones on the right hand side. With jullien looking doubtful we can't play ajer there. We need frimpong at winger because forrest is out.

16 Oct 2020 23:17:18
Why would Welsh not start then if jullien is out?

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 23:31:43
Because I don't think he is ready for it.

17 Oct 2020 01:02:54
Ralston is nowhere near our first team even in a crisis. Frimpong will play there with a midfielder covering the RW.

Elyannousi through the middle is definitely a good shout.

Watching some old belters fly into the mobs net from 25-30 yards, Naka, Thommo, Lambert to name a few and made me realise who in our current team/ squad can ping them in from distance? Christie tries and gets the odd one but other than that? Hopefully someone steps up and lashes one in the morra. That said I'd settle for a scrappy 1-0. Love it to be Duffy or Ajeti who according to fat Adam isn't good enough.

16 Oct 2020 21:00:58
Been a bit concerned about him; since the start of the season he looked shaky and lacking confidence, then he was out the side, on the bench, then injured and I have no doubt we will need him at some point. When he is on his game, he is am asset in both boxes.

Well you could play Brown at centre back along side Duffy, in a 442,with Ajer at right back and Taylor at left back, the four on the middle could be Frimpong, Turnbull, McGregor, Laxalty, (spelling) and Ntcham playing just behind Ajeti LG up front, do it's really a 4411,that's the only position I would have Brown in the team.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 22:34:31
HT it would most likely be other way around for turnbull who has played left at times and Elyouanossi who has played right at times.

I genuinely believe that if we win tomorrow we are primed for 10iar

I think if they win, the league won't necessarily be gone but it would be a major setback especially at home

A win and the potential for a 5 point lead, that is huge at a point in the season where they are probably at their best. for them to get to 230pm tomorrow and face the prospect of a 5 point deficit, this could dismantle their confidence and swagger

And so, a WIN for us tomorrow and I think it will be a MASSIVE step to 10iar, a defeat and all not lost . but a lot of pressure will come on to NL through to Christmas with Ibrox looming at new year

If we set up to dominate and take the game to them, I think we are better

I wouldn't want to see NL over coach this match . just ensure that we are like greyhounds coming out the traps

Hail hail and enjoy the match all.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

16 Oct 2020 20:29:18
Lubo, there is little advantage playing at home at the moment so I don't see loosing as being a major setback. I doubt fans will be back when we play them at Crumble Dome.
Totally agree that a win tomorrow is a massive step towards the 10 especially with some of our big game players missing or not 100% (French Eddy in particular and I know he's been poor lately)
We also have players yet to settle in like our new left back so regardless of the result I'll not be getting too concerned.
Never seen the betting so evenly matched so it's game on!

Hail Hail.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 19:30:40
If it were me making the team selection I'd have Griff on from the start. No question about it, he's our best striker when he's on fire (yes, that includes Eddy! ) and in good shape and he has a habit of putting the Sevs to the sword. HH.

If we play with a no 10 who would you play troops. rogic . turnbull who you could drop a bit deeper and give you more dig.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

16 Oct 2020 13:24:21
The one thing I think we lack is 'extra dig'. Our squad from middle to front is packed with smaller ball-playing footballers.
Even the front-men are not 'Hartson or Sutton - like, although they still do a great job on opposing defenses.
Obviously no bad thing with a treble-treble in the cabinet and going for Ten-in-a-row; not seen enough of Turnbull, but apart from Broony, we do not have that dig and rely on skill, class and experience.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 13:44:43
For me l would go with Turnbull or nitcham in that role. We need a bit of bite in the middle and rogic is not the man for that.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 13:52:18
Laxalt has that hope he plays he has dig and passion. As you said Broony has it now possible laxalt and Duffy we Griff has and Christie this should be enough for the rest of the team to push on.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 17:43:35
I would go with Turnbull or Christie.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 17:45:53
Has to be Ntcham for me, especially if Eddy is fit enough to start, they link up well if both are on their game and with Ajeti potentially fit and raring to go as well I think it could be a good trio for us. Need to make sure our wing backs are on form and putting a shift in too.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 18:19:17
Is Christie not in isolation and out of the game?

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 19:27:01
Turnbull for me. I think if he can regular game time with Broony we'll see his true class and ability. HH.

The difference between a Tim and a sevvie

So a sevvie fan site is selling an offensive badge about our manager, when asked to comment their spokesperson said "it is just harmless fun and anyway we have hundreds of orders" No apology no remorse.

Contrast reaction to Green Brigade putting up posters of FOOTBALL games all over Glasgow, nothing remotely offensive there, EXCEPT in sevvie eyes who are asking the police to charge GB "with defacing public property" you could not make it up.

Lets end with a smile, with a quote by "brain of britain" Ryan Kent who said
"Saturday's game will be so different with NO STADIUM".

Hello all. Thought a post regarding tomorrow might be in order. Firstly this is a massive game for Lennon and that's where my worries lie. He has to tinker with our shape, and steer clear of three at the back, to get on the front foot from minute one. Will he, who knows but i think he will stay with it, and this allows them to get up the pitch quickly, and to be fair they use it well.

I would stick a nice tight 442 in amongst them. This would ensure anytime their FB'S tried to move forward one of the front two can pull across and move a CB. and none of theirs will fancy that. If we get it right we can have them putting crosses in from deeper, much easier to defend.

No point really naming a team till we have some idea who is available, but for me Polish Paddy must start. He's quick and sharp, also on evidence seen is now as strong as a bull. He could rattle them by bursting wide to a longer through ball behind their FB's, He's also a wild card as they have never faced them. Worth a punt for me.

Since they clawed their sorry asses outa the grave they have been waiting for this, signs of us faltering. Almost every game they fancy it, nothing won bar a few battles. This team need to produce, i don't care what anyone says, we have not been performing. Win tomorrow and normal service can be resumed, but we need to be on it from the whistle.

Finally brother beaton. As we seen in the ibrox game, where moreorless was allowed to kick, punch and actually walk across Ralstons back, he will give them every opportunity to pressure us. So let's be cute and not dive in. We have better players, and we are winners. prove it tomorrow.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

16 Oct 2020 10:35:09
Dont think 442 would work mate. Last 2 games they over ran us in midfield. They would have 3 and we only 2 if we play that way. Bound to be over run.
3 5 2 griff eddy up top. Laxalt for taylor.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 11:14:57
Raymundo I would go 3-5-2 as well but I reckon he will go 4-5-1. They will be playing 4-3-4 with Beaton up front, so having 4 at the back keeps an eye on him lol.

Agree3 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 11:27:05
Our initial formation is not the be all and end all . It is how we adopt to nullify any threat that arises and to create opportunities and chances up front . Mistakes must be kept to a minimum with colleagues sniffing out danger before a mistake becomes a disaster. . As long as our players keep remembering they are better than the Rangers2012 players and as long as we make them feel their inferiority, we should be all right . Nerve wrecking, hard to watch at times, but that’s nothing new.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 12:11:44
ha ha Green Jhedi "the third" what did you do with 1 and 2 lol good to see you posting again.
As for tomorrow, our bench will be as important as our starting eleven, with French Eddie, Griff and Ajeti (if he makes bench) all lacking fitness or game time.
Klimala has been playing regularly, so I would start with him as his speed will be an asset. McGregor and Brown will need to put in a shift.
But we have better players, so Lennon should just say, go out and prove it and dominate game.
As for Beaton, make him impotent by not giving him any decisions to make, although I worry he will target Brown and try and send him off, but world will be watching and anything too obvious will be highlighted and embarrass him.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2020 12:13:15
They also rely on their full backs for width and I think it will go down to how we compete and win a lot of 'personal battles'. Taylor v Tavernier and Frimpong/ Barisic will be defining areas as will the middle of the park - obviously.
Been watching some of Eddy's first games against them and I hope he can recover that same mobility and confidence as they really fear him Griff, Ajeti and Paddy would also run riot on a good day, so at the end of the day; score more than them and we beat them and Beaton.

We have to show more desire to win the match, everyone has to win their personal battles all over the pitch. It has now got to the point that just having better players doesn't get you the win in this match, they have improved and have been showing more desire and will to win in the last few matches hence the reason they have been getting decent results against us.
Everyone wins their personal battle and then the cream can rise to the top.
