Wish I had more confidence as well; this defence and our apparent allergy to the goal gives me nightmares. That said, we all know anything can happen in these games. I just hope we storm intae them and dont play like frightened wee lassies; nothing does my nut in more than to see all this indecisive dilly-dallying on the ball before eventually being dispossessed.

No matter how we are playing, I'd rather follow your approach, go into the game positive believing in a win, anything else you are a surrender monkey.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Sinclair will struggle and hate being up against Tavernier. He is a hard full-back to get past. Don't get me wrong, Celtic have good attacking wingers that will get past our full-backs but that's where we need a solid defender or two to do their jobs. It's as much about stopping Celtic playing to their strengths than it is us playing to ours Man for man we're not far off them. Sviachenko(sp?) is better than anything CB we've got. Toure looks suspect to me. McKay gave Lustig a torrid time of it in April, they might play their new RB, I've seen him a few times, just a solid player really not much else. Garner will rough them up as well. The midfield is always the key area in an Old Firm, win the 50/50's, win the game. Any loose ball must be ours. Barton owes us a performance and I reckon he might just make the difference. I'd play Halliday as well as he performs better in bigger games. We beat this mob with a midfield three of Holt, Halliday and Ball last season, we've got more than enough about us to beat them Fingers crossed the thumb picks up an injury playing for Scotland Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,121 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Im nervous about this one. However we just need to hit form, man for man I think we're in a better place than when we played them last season. MW just needs to find his strongest 11 and hope we hit the ground running on the 10th. It's been a far poorer start than we expected and I don't think it's because the standard is particularly better, it's just we've been pretty poor and lacked energy. Would have felt more confident had it been a month later with a new CB bedded in and Windass and Crooks with a few games under their belts.

Won't know what the fuck to do on this game. By the end of October I expect his jacket to be on a shoogily peg. Folk will crying out for Walter Smith before the new year I'm telling yous. MW is a good Coach and will go on to do a good job in England somewhere, but I really don't think he is the man to try and topple a dominant (??) taig side, when we have spent a pittance on our transfers so far. frustrating times bears, but NOTHING we can do unless someone hits the euromillions If Rangers can't get by without crying for smith then the club is totally fucked.

On current form we go in as firm underdogs. There is a loss of pace and mobility in midfield which is worrying me more than anything. I can see them allowing us to play from the back then blitzing us at the halfway line and running at our back four. That said I'm intrigued to see how we match up to a team who don't put their whole team behind the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have to remember that this Celtic team are not the team we played and won against last season. They are much improved as are we, but I`d be lying if I said I was confident of victory. Give me a draw now and i`d take it ! Call me whatever you like, but I`m just being realistic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,427 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Fuck taking a draw. 3 points, anything less is failure. It always happens tbh, major underdogs end up drawing or winning. Theres been a few times ours and there support have thought we were due a pasting only to go on and win comfortably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It's hard to call this game there are too many variables .... 1. MW training methods v BR training methods. 2. Injuries during international break. 3. Fitness of new signings (both sides) I am sure BR has adopted Cogitraining methods The clue was when Moussa Dembele stated that his telepathic understanding with team-mate will take the team to new heights.

BlueBloodStream 37 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We have won 3 matches since April in league form and all by one goal and when was our last clean sheet? It's shite attitude but one that is realistic and taking off the battle fever specs, if they score early first 20 minutes then we won't win and I think it will be a pumping as our confidence is down. They will win by 3 or 4 goals at least. I wish this game wasn't next for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
