The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think its just been an anxious last few days, the narrow win v stjohnstone, the poor performance and draw at hamilton, coupled with celtic winning their last 3 games, the player suspensions etc etc. I think a wee bit of fear and nervousness has crept onto the fan base, because we are so so close. Hopefully a good performance and,win on Saturday will allay those fears and anxiety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy bob swollenbaws 1,865 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 My biggest worry is we go back to not shooting. Over reliance on crossing especially when the front line is disrupted will lead to a dearth of goals. No coincidence st johnstone goal came from real hagi magic and a dig from edge of the box.

Bill8972 479 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Sky is the shop window for teams in our league. On Sunday Hamilton played better than I've ever seen them play. The fact that this game is not on Sky and we have the advantage of a home fixture, (even without Morelos, Roofe and Defoe) should be more than enough with the squad that we still have available.

It's been creeping in for a while, not from the taigs playing better (they couldnt exactly have gotten worse) but from our own performances We've went off the boil a fair bit & have been riding out luck since the turn of the year. Hamilton on Sunday could've easily been a loss & hope that's the wake up call the players needed. We need a good performance against Killie & get back to scoring goals again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I will take the draw on sunday, because looking back over our games in January, we could,easily have dropped alot more,points than we did, alot more, so let's be grateful where,we are right now, and hope the players respond on Saturday to allay the jitters.

Broxi 11,481 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Don't know why since yesterday everyone seems to be shitting themselves. 15 points ahead if they manage to win their game in hand and everyone seems worried because they've strung 2 wins together and are now saying we should take a draw at home to Killie All will be fine bears. Expecting a reaction and a good win here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,708 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 3 points and a convincing performance please for all our sanity. McGregor; Tav, Goldson, Helander, Barisic; Jack, Kamara; Aribo, Hagi, Kent; Itten. Aribo needs to be up and around the box for the 90. We need to get back to pressing high with energy and passing with purpose. Hamilton should have been a wake up call - I’m sure it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackAlex93 11,245 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Just get the 3 points on Saturday and keep us moving towards the title. If we put in a good display then that would be even better but wins are all that's required right now. Looking forward to playing Killie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,153 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 We’ve got 3 home games before we play them ffs, we’ve a 100% record at home and have conceded 1 goal, we win those 3 games which I’m confident we will and we are more or less there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds_Bear 8,107 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 11 hours ago, The Ibrox Derry said: I understand the nerves, I'm same as we are so close. But listen we very nearly left Hamilton with all 3 points despite everyone playing utter gash. These performances happen 2 or 3 times a season when everyone is off their game. We wete fortunate to get a point. On paper the St Johnstone win looked tight, but we should have been 3 up at half time against a team who have only lost 1 game in 9 and that was to us last Wednesday. Can't fault the team for only winning 1 nil in Edinburgh v Hibs. Any win there is massive. Could have been so different if Alfie had been sent off. And we were also strolling it up in Aberdeen, even at 2-1 we were very comfortable. And also we blew Ross County away at Ibrox the week after a deserved point v Motherwell. With regards to the filth, and their recent upturn in results i put down to the pressure being off them. The damage has already been done. Weve seen this from our own team in recent seasons. Thyy scraped to a narrow win on Saturday v Motherwell, and their 2 recent midweek 4 nil victories, including tonight flattered them. Pretty good perspective. Too many people jumping to the extremes.

We would need to draw 1 and lose 6 games out of 10 for them to beat us. We're absolutely fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
