[stuart1994 4,303]

Into these bastards, get this shite day out the way and get back too it. 

[The true baller 972]

Take a draw. If we had Alfy I think we'd beat them at a canter.

[Supersonic 4,654]

Line up picks itself. 

Sakala can't be relied upon to score any actual chances we get so it should be Roofe even if he can only give us a good 60 minutes. 

Wright, Itten and Lundstram shouldn't even make the bench on Wednesday.

I'd much prefer Balogun over Bassey but no idea if he's close to being fit/available.

 

At this moment in time, I can't help but feel like they take it sadly. 

[ElBufalo20 7,892]

Hope Diallo is fit 

[SkylineBlue 23,366]

Too scunnered with today to even think about it. Dreading it.

[Prso's headband 35,459]

Win the fucking middle of the park and don’t let them attack us constantly, pretty simple. 
 

Should be going after them as well with pace up front. 
 

McGregor 
 

Tav Goldson Bassey Barisic

Arfield Kamara Aribo

Diallo Sakala Kent

[bluenoz 30,843]

I'm going to take a calculated gamble here.

         McGregor

Tav  Goldson  Balogun  Barisic

        Jack    Kamara

               Aribo

Amad     Roofe   Kent

Really harsh on Arfield but we need to be more solid defensively away from home. I realize it is a big ask of Ryan Jack.

Kent doesn't deserve to start after today's performance but he has a good track record against them.

If Balogun doesn't make it, I start King (or maybe Souttar). Too much pressure is being put on young Bassey to play out of position.

[Teamgers 1,214]

0 -2 The Famous, keep the faith guys, we can do it.

[Scottywellhousetb 50,491]

3rd post before the inevitable "I'd take a draw" I won't and never will accept a draw against they bastard. 

[TEFTONG 60,114]

Comfortable win come Wednesday.  3 nil for The Mighty and The Famous. 

[KeyserSoze 14,545]

I feel pretty confident for this strangely 

cunts

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

Hope for a draw, we're shite. 

[B1872 20,719]

Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet so we’ll need to score. Not confident at all so would take a draw just now.

[Guest]

The key is going to be whether we can play through their high press into the spaces vacated by their full backs for Kent + Amad to exploit 

If we do, we’ll win. If we don’t, we won’t. 

[Swagger 7,967]

Fuck knows what’s up with Balogun and Helander obviously won’t be thrown in so it’s the same back 4 I’m afraid. Bassey is not and never will be a centre half. 
 

Helander, Morelos and a fit Jack then we are strong - a team gets it’s strength through the middle.

Obviously none of them will be there so it’s going to be a hard watch, come out still on top and I’ll be over the moon. 
 

Regroup then, get everyone back fit and try  and sort this mess out 

[superallysbears 7,583]

Just can't even begin to think about this game yet, maybe being a bit OTT but am fucking raging that we've even given those scum bastards something to be excited about, I believe we can win and we'll probably win, it's the other games I'm worried about with this shite mentality we show at times, the league cup semi was a low point and we bounced back but since the break we've been terrible, today is a low point and I hope we can now go and show what we're all about, lose on Wednesday and Gio's got a mountain to climb already.

[.Williamson. 82,231]

Fucking batter them

[MARK92GERS 807]

McLaughlin, Helander & Roofe in. Bassey, Mcgregor & Itten out 

[STEPPS BOY 73,923]

Wont be surprised if it’s the same starting line up as today bar mibbe Roofe for Itten.

Stand up and be counted time for certain players.

[King Jela 20,361]

2-1 good guys. 

[.Williamson. 82,231]

Nah, McGregor had a stinker today but he plays Wednesday. He has big game saves in him. 

Itten can go in the fucking bin.

What other changes would you make?

The sit on a lead mentality needs booted to fuck. We should be looking to score more goals against most of the dross we play. We don't have the defence to see out a slender advantage so sitting back and soaking up pressure is the worst tactic for this team. I hope GVB can see this and change it. 

Sit back against them playing defensive and we will get a pasting. 

[Prso's headband 35,459]

Better no sit on any lead against this mob. We need to ruin their confidence. A win here and there’s 14 games left with a 5 point lead and the next OF at Ibrox. 
 

We need to make it happen. I have confidence in the team, their unbeaten against them for 2 and a half years. We just need to believe in ourselves and cut out the stupid individual mistakes. Be brave on the ball and pass through their midfield
