rfc_no1fan 13 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yes it's good to win 7-1, but when Hamilton had 11 players on the pitch we were only 2-1 up. Some people seem to forget that last week we were hopeless and couldnt hit a barn door. Celtic dropping points is a huge lift, but it doesnt change the fact that we will almost certainly go into the Old Firm game on December 27th in 2nd place and needing to win. I hope this result isnt papering over the cracks and that we can finally get a bit of momentum going and be more consistent week in, week out. Dundee Utd is a huge game this weekend and nothing less than a victory will be good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeyin 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i was thinking that good post mate seen as a couple of the goals were very late on and beating a accies team with ten men didnt give me a hardon but at the end of the day its good for the goal diff if it comes to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 This Monday morning feeling is sure a lot better than last Monday morning - and a big part of that goes to the Hibs result (and Boruc!!). But reality is wa are still 4 points away but this weekend showed they are vurnable as well and we all know we need to start winning on the road, consistenty!

But reality is wa are still 4 points away but this weekend showed they are vurnable as well and we all know we need to start winning on the road, consistenty! I think the biggest lift we have had this weekend was not beating Hamilton, which was surely expected, but that we have seen Celtic are beatable (let's face it, they haven't been recently - at least not domestically ). It was good to score a lot of goals on Saturday, some good goals amongst them, but if Celtic are going to start dropping points, we just need to win some home games, and we're right back up there. Lets not forget, our home record is very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 its just been a great sense of relief seeing Celtic finally drop points. For a while I thought they would never lose this season. All of a sudden they don't seem invincible anymore. We have to take one game at a time. Tannadice will be a real test. Barry seemed to make progress and we have Steve n Sasa back who played really well this weekend so hopefully we can get the points on Saturday but it will be real tough. I hope we find a way to get some width though as United will work to snuff out our midfield. Chesney had a wierd formation pushing Caldwell from defence into midfield partnering Hartley and leaving out McGreety n Naka also Sheridan was horrific don't see him trying that formation again.

Imodium 412 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We needed a few goals to build confidence in the team - we were awful against Hearts and ran out of ideas attacking wise. Was nice to get a few players on the score sheet which will should give WS a wee head-ache when picking the team next week. The game next week is a must win if we are to win the league. We need to start a lengthy winning run and continue to put pressure on Selik. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchestGer 347 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I dont think anyone's getting too carried away, I do however think that scoring 7 goals couldnt have come at a better time giving us some much needed confidence with Dundee Utd away and OF on 27th. Hopefully we'll be neck and neck by New Year and put some real pressure on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
