simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Naturally most of the discussion is about boycotting so I think it's worth having a thread to discuss the football aspect of the draw.Apart from the Saville gang Dundee Hibernian away probably the toughest draw we could have got. They aren't so high in the table but they've been something of a thorn in our side for a long time even when we've been right at the top of Scottish football, did we not go about three years without a win at Tannadice under Walter?Our last display against a SPL side wasn't at all encouraging either and that was at home. But on the other hand there's the Motherwell game where we were outstanding and should have won by more. Play like we did against Motherwell and if we've got the likes of Templeton and Sandaza fully back fit by then, we've certainly got a chance.A draw and a replay back to Ibrox would not be a poor outcome at all.

Johnny Dangerously 7,564 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Would be a great scalp,tough, but we can do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 We have a young team who are starting to play some composed football. I just hope this draw, which is tough by any stretch of the imagination, has not come too soon. I'd happily settle for a draw then take them on again in front of a sold-out (assuming no boycotts) Ibrox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo 708 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Overall, they are an average side but Tannadump is never an easy place to go.If our defence can handle Russell and Daly then we will win IMO, but I don't have much confidence in our defence at the moment but hopefully we have a settled back four by February.If we play the way we played against Motherwell then we will get through, but every player will have to step it up because it wont be easy.

El Carpintero 546 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think Russell and Daly will run riot to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 735 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's going to be really, really tough. We'll need a performance similar to the Motherwell game to have a chance. Templeton, Black and McKay are going to be key. Hopefully Jig will be back up front by then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 72,854 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Our back line is a bombscare in the middle.Russell is a handful and given the run at Jig and Cibari or Perry I'd expect him to leave them for dead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'd hope that Dundee Hibs don't pack their defence and try to score on the break, that may well give us problems.I am encouraged by the performances of our young players and by the time this game comes around, we could be firing on all cylinders and the SPL team could just be fearing our visit as much of us seem ot think that they're anything specail at all.All will be revealled on the day, but I think we have as good a chance as any to go through.

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This has to be our goal, we have a few months to work towards. If ally can keep building on the attacking play we have showed and somehow sure up that defence then we have a great chance up there. A few more months with hopefully minimal injuries then we will have a good attacking midfield. Only worry is the defence. Goian anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
