The next 6 weeks will be the biggest test we’ll face this season in terms of tough games with the last 2 Europa league fixtures, mixed in with Livi, Hearts away, Aberdeen, Hivs twice, St Johnston away and then culminating with the filth on the 29th. If we’re in touching distance with them prior to it what a game we have on our hands. Think Stevie deserves more credit that he’s been getting outwith the club.

Prso's headband 35,428 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 It’s no surprise really. The past month the media have fawned over cellic because they’ve hit a bit of form, yet that form in league terms is still worse than ours in terms of goals scored and points accumulated. Obviously a big month coming up. I think we have to be within 2 of them come the OF. We’re playing all these teams at home, whilst they play all of them away. It’s imperative we’re within touching distance because the round of fixtures again turn and we’ll play them all away before the split. I’m interested in sporting integrity if that’s the case because if Hibs and the sheep finish in the top 6 then we should technically play them all at home after the split... All of that won’t matter if we fuck it. We need some big performances across the board and finally find a bit of consistency that’s been missing for years now Rum Ham, LOL153 No Surrender!!!, kanjo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 It's better than given credit for, the inconsistency is no surprise, we shouldn't have unacceptably dropped some of the stupid points we have, whilst our EL results have been credit worthy they've led to many assuming or expecting a league title will follow. Some good, some bad, lots of room for improvement. Teddybear123 and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,171 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Don't really care about stuff like this tbh mate I judge each manager on their own results and signings.

ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I expect there not to be a lot in it come the third Old Firm game, very similar to last year. December is a huge and difficult month but the tims have the tougher of the fixtures IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakbear 3,586 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I think we tend to overlook the challenge of playing Thursday/Sunday for a relatively newly formed squad of young players who haven’t played a lot of top flight football. This is why, as frustrated as I get with some of Gerrards decisions and subs, I fully believe he is going to lead us to the promised land. He has spent very little net spend. He has pulled together guys who weren’t first choice at their respective clubs, some loanees and he has got better performances out of players we had consigned to the scrap heap and got them all to within 2 points of the league leaders and within touching distance of qualification in Europe. Its nothing short of remarkable really. graeme_4, Gossie gers, Garnock Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play Hearts away to start the month, Aberdeen, Hibs twice and are away in Europe halfway through the month. St Johnstone won't exactly be a formality with how we have been away from home either.

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 We have a much better chance of winning league ,if other teams are doing there bit and making it more competitive Other sides are now cabable against the mutants which helps bring the pack together Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 27 competitive games across all competitions under Stevie and the mostly new squad and we've not even passed the new year yet. That's a wild amount of games for a new manager/team to have played by this point of the season. eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulbrian11 432 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 These things don’t really matter. We’re judged on where we are in relation to the taigs, not how we’re doing compared to previous seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 If you were to say we would be practically one win in the league away from being top and one win in the Europa league away from being top I would have been delighted. The major disappointment is obviously losing the semi final, all the moreso because the sheep are and were awful. It was a tough one to take. In addition to that there have been some bumps along the way. That said, taking all things into consideration we're doing not too bad. Next 6/7 weeks are season defining. Let's make them count.

McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Agree with @.Williamson. None of this really means anything in the context of season against season - it all depends on the context of the season we are in at the time. If it did, we could point out that each of the title winning sides in that list had more than 24 points at this point of the season.
