They seem to think it’s inevitable that’s how McInnes will go about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,718 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 McGregor Tav Goldson Balogun Borna Kamara Davis Aribo Hagi Morelos Kent Would be my team and reckon that’s what we’ll see. 2-0 to the teddy’s!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,722 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Jones is tosser, he's carrying an injury, and shouldn't play for us again after his covid breach nonsense. And I'd still prefer him to play than Barker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Peterson 348 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Thinking of the physical scarp I’d be tempted to go with Mcgregor Tav Goldson Helander Barisic Kamara Davis Zungu Aribo Morelos Hagi Kent, Itten, Defoe, Bassey, Balogun, Barker all available to back up.

jamess 3,422 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 As they have no crowd they will park the bus. They have better players than the usual park the bus teams so will be a hard game. Stay solid against the odd corner or free kick they get and we will grind them down. They are pish and won't play football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,836 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Gerrard seems to be chopping and changes his CH's based on the oppositions forwards. Hedges gave us a wee bit of trouble last time and I noticed Cosgrove is in and about the first team again. I would lean Helander but it really is a toss up with Balogun.

If I remember correctly from the 4-0 game Hedges main strength is his speed. If that is the case then perhaps Balogun is a better pick than Helander.

My take on them is there is not much difference when play is in front of them and if we are organised then that is how it should he 99% of the time. I just have more confidence in Balogun getting back to make a last gasp challenge should they get in behind us. Mixture of slightly quicker, slightly braver and slightly better at timing the tackle. Agree with you either can, and do, perform well for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll still win but it'll be tough. 1-0 and I'll be a very happy Boyd 😊 🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧 Better teams than this have lost immediately after a win against the tramps, so a bit of nervousness isn’t unreasonable. Padded out the cushion a bit last weekend. Should be ok as long as the players don’t think that last week means ‘job done’, or they didn’t take too much out of themselves turning it around.

bluenoz 30,836 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If Roofe was fit, I truly believe Kent would have been on the bench replaced by Hagi. So here is your reprieve son, go and make the most of it. Hagi-Morelos-Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,722 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 In far worse seasons than this we've dropped points up there and went on to win leagues.. I doubt we will but even if we did its just that, dropped points. The frenzy will come both internally from those who scream our bottle is crashing, and the tarrier msm who would say exactly the same. Hard game, confident, but as I actually said before the tarriers game lets try to keep it real and objective no matter what. 😂 aye right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll have put more into last weekend than met the eye, so an adverse result might not be totally unexpected - we’re asking them to keep up their levels a lot & to be fair, they’ve largely done that. Time to worry might be if we have a blip at the weekend & follow it up with another one fairly soon afterwards. And, as always, if it turns out we don’t collect 3 points on Sunday, it’ll be the manner of how that happened that indicates whether we have much to worry about or not.

As many have said about Walters saying, it’s the result after the old firm that is huge. We win this then I’ll have zero doubts about this league, if we keep a clean sheet in doing so then we’re breaking records galore this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
