Huge opportunity to apply some pressure by winning this.

Lets make them go into their game against Hamilton 4 points behind us. I reckon they’ll concede.

yip,keep the pressure on them every chance we get. they're already starting to crumble. had it way too easy for years.

Thomson isn’t biased etc, he just loves being the centre of attention and so deliberately views the big moments in an obtuse way.

All true, but with added total incompetence.

Flanagan completely prevents any sort of attacking down the left. Barisic is definitely first choice and Flanagan is definitely a back up 

I think Flanagan is far better on the other side of the pitch. Looks much more comfortable both in attack and when defending.

Must win tomorrow so strongest team possible! As it stands we are 5 behind the leaders.

Im enjoying Europe but the League is the absolute priority, strongest team possible and lets get a good win ahead of next week.

[Allyup 174]

 

hope we hammer this bunch of no marks and their thug of a captain.

[Jb85 1,783]

Must win tomorrow and hopefully a few goals scored. Need to start winning by a few goals. Strongest team that’s available.

I don't agree that it's a must win, but it would definitely help.

Puts a lot of pressure on them.

If we both make the Europa group stages, I can see a lot of dropped points and teams like hearts hibs and aberdeen keeping up with us and them till xmas.

[FlippinEck 3,708]

Got tickets thankfully. Looking forward to it. Hope Middleton starts.

I just think every game is a must win. We need them to be under so much pressure they start turning on each other.

Also I think we need them in Europe too. 

[Laudrup1690 1,064]

Don’t even care about the performance the most important thing is we get the win to keep the momentum up.

hopefully get out of there with no new injuries 

[BILLYBOY50 1,638]

Tomorrow I just want three points and no injuries don't give a fuck about the performance but if we play well and batter them then that's all the better. C'mon the gers.

Agreed, if we fails to make it, then it gives us a chance to open a gap hopefully.

If we make it, then we want them in too so they also have to play 2 games a week.

Pessimist at the best of times but with the over confidence on here lately combined with the lacklustre performance on Thursday having nightmares at the thought of in the space of a week all the positivity is killed!

Hopefully get the win tomorrow to keep the feel good factor heading into two massive games.

I'm exactly the same. 

Always think the worst. Three early goals and I'll relax, maybe.

[Drumloyal 14,998]

Can see a couple of changes tmrw, think he might give Alfredo a wee breather. 

 

McGregor 

 

Tavernier        Katić        Goldson        Barišić 

 

Jack

Ejaria                Arfield

 

Candeias                                        Middleton

 

Lafferty

 

Going for a comfortable 0-2

 

 

[BigDak 798]

To be fair to Thomson, I know somebody who knows him and he says that he is actually a decent guy who just likes football and apparently takes it to heart when he fucks up. But that’s second hand knowledge and my first hand knowledge of him is that he’s fuckin’ honkin’. I’m sure that guy said he was actually a Jambo.

Why are people putting Halliday in midfield ahead of Ejaria?  Did you see the game last night?  Ejaria was the best player in the park.

Other than swapping Barisic for Flanagan I think it'll be the same team as last night.  The league is our number one priority and our strongest team needs to be put out.  Hopefully we can smash Motherwell and stay above the scum going in to that first Old Firm game.

Agreed. They have played two lost two. Smash them and sit nicely in place for next week.
