Unfortunately they will put about 5 past Hamilton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 42,620 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Around 90 if the season goes to a finish. Very much doubt it will though when winter rolls around. Need to be on top with zero let up from the sheep game onwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Haven't we only won 5 games in a row in the league once under Gerrard? Don't think it's a question of points on the board it should be how consistent can this team be to sustain a challenge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have only had even close to a challenge in the last two years. Only last year do I actually think we had a good enough team to potentially win it. We fucked it both those times. Neither of those times did we actually keep the pressure on them. By the time the split came it was pretty much over. Apart from that, they have faced no domsetic challenge in nearly a decade.

Well thats it we haven't really been knocking on the door or been able to take it to the end of the season like teams who eventually win the league normally do. Sticking with the same team its hard to really see us making the huge jump to champions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who exactly has tested their bottle? I’ll bite. They were gonny crumble when we played them at Ibrox under Murty, went 1-0 and 2-1 down, down to 10 men, won the game and league due to it and our arses collapsed. Beat them at Ibrox, again they were gonny crumble, but it was us that shat it, then same story with Rodgers leaving. Appointed Lennon, league was in the bag for us apparently, even Rangers were tweeting taking the piss, neck and neck at new year after beating them again, who’s arse collapsed then and who continued winning the league?

Who exactly has tested their bottle? If they haven't had their bottle tested, then saying they don't have one is a bit of reach.. There's literally no credence to your theory. What happened 10 years ago is no longer relevant. Fact is celtic have developed a bit of a winning mentality by turning draws and defeats into wins(I.e vs Livingston & vs Hamilton). Where as we have had a habit of turning wins into draws or loses... That's the big difference between us right now. We dropped points in 8 games last season, 4 of them we were actually in a winning position. Aberdeen: Winning 2-0, Drew 2-2 Kilmarnock: Winning 1-0, Lost 2-1 (in the last 12 mins) St Johnstone: Winning 2-1, Drew 2-2 (in the last 10 mins) Hearts: Winning 1-0, Lost 2-1 (in the last 7 minutes) That's literally 10 points thrown away. We are more than capable of matching and out playing them, however at the same time we are our own worst enemy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about the number of "hard" games in a row, it's the potential that due to the way the opening 3 rounds of games have been scheduled, we face the possibility of playing Aberdeen and Hibs 3 times away and only once at home during the campaign. It also then gives the possibility that they have to play Aberdeen and Hibs three times at home and only once away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,708 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 As many have said here, will need to be racking up 87-90+ points over the 38 games. Sadly I’m just not convinced we have it in us especially against the low block 34 out of 38 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
