Wee Forrest back tomorrow so hopefully he'll be straight back into the team. Could be a tricky game tomorrow. Wee McGowan is high in confidence and will be looking to show what he can do having not quite made the grade at Celtic. Apart from Kayal, the whole squad is fit and available.
It will definitely be tricky. I'm making no predictions - this game has banana skin written all over it. I'm not going to relax until we get the game at Swinecastle out the way
Really? McLean is a definite to go to a bigger team - the boy is brilliant. McGowan is flying. Van Zanten (who speaks to someone I know every week and is a Celtic fan) is playing well (incidentally, he has said in the past that he hates playing against McCourt - he was pleased in the Parkhead game recently to be up against Samaras - Sammy duly tore him apart ) That Mooy boy looks the business. Their big Centre Half is just back - is it McAusland? St Mirren have been stung with the result at Tynecastle - expect them to be fired up after that and they have the belief after beating Rangers. Seriously, this will be one of the hardest games of the season.
Mr. T It is known by most people that you have problems, but to lower yourself to make fun out of a very real mental/physical disability is particularly low even for you.
A very real disability? So that's a yes then. Cheers superhoops for clearing it up. I'll give him his due, he's done very well for himself, the lad.
Team: Forster; Cha, Rogne, Mulgrew; Ledley; Brown, Wanyama, Ki, Forrest; Samaras & Hooper Zaluska, K Wilson, Matthews, Commons, Stokes, Izaguirre, McGeouch Looks like a front two of Sammy and Hooper. Can always throw on Stokes and Commons if we're struggling. Anyway, I'm off to watch it in pub. 'mon the Bhoys and the Dons!
Bright start from our heroes. Stunning effort from our number 88. Lesley Rogne booked. St Mirren a threat.eeeeeeee
Can't agree at all RB - I think we've been utter pish. Created zero. Crossing woeful (particularly from Cha). The worst we've played in ages.
After I typed that, they lost their direction fairly fast. Cha had a nice run against the FB. Forrest tucking in ok going backwards. Hooper is not getting the service but he is going to get involved. The problem seems to be in the middle of the park.
Lots of possession but very poor final ball and not getting it forward quickly enough - allowing St Mirren plenty of time to get everyone back. Agree -Cha Du Ri really needs to learn to deliver crosses - he wastes a lot of good work. Ki Sung-Yong needs to up his game as well.
here is my take on the first half, for you purists out there please ignore as i am 10 crownies (aussie beer)in so my judgement may or may not be out. i think we have been poor and have offered nothing at all. where is izzy? for me i would replace brown and sammy with commons and stokes. i also thought we had decided that sammy was not a striker so why the **** is he leading the line. not often we play before those ****ers so lets make the most of it
Need to be more direct, i feel it is games like this where Commons does his best work, driving at teams. I would put Stokes on for Sammy and Commons for Ki with Ledley coming inside. But that is just my opinion.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i could see this working. by the way who the **** does satan think he is starting a match day thread, he is no stereo...
