Interesting that you have both chosen 4-4-2.

I was wondering the other day, the reason why we dont go with this shape, and play more directly sometimes.

It's Partick Thistle at home.

We should always have two Strikers upfront.

IMO

Service was woeful on Friday bar two great deliveries from Grimshaw.

Shouldn't detract us from being attacking in our formation, we've became far too predictable.

Time to shake things up a bit. Wouldn't even be against us trying 3-5-2.

well spotted, amazing how many supporters watched that game and thought we played 4-3-2-1 and talk like they are the next pep

Defence and keeper pick themselves, sibbald is the only other player in my opinion that can say he deserves a starting spot. The rest well, they need to get their fingers oot.

I just want to see us playing with a bit more purpose, urgency, dig and fight from the first whistle. None of that waiting until the second half or last 15 minutes before we start sprinting to take corners and throw ins.

This mob were horrific a few weeks back, absolutely horrific so they will have a point to prove. Need to pick up the boy Fitzpatrick, he's a decent player.

Mon United.

We are properly fucked

If only these cunts could get stuck into other teams the way we seem to get stuck into our own fucking players eh?

I think i'd rather Grimshaw moved into midfield than see Tillson play there again. Like playing with ten men when he starts.

Both options rather grim, atmittedly.

Billy_Hainey · 28/12/2023 6:07 pm

By 90 mins hope we're not wishing for the goals of Christmas past.

Was that just yesterday as see he was doing the pre match press conference ?

MockChop · 28/12/2023 11:15 pm

Apart from injure each other, what do we do in training?

No idea mate. Just a fellow Arab was telling me he got a text saying the above.

But hopefully it's either bollocks or nowhere as bad as made out. Guess we will find out tomorrow night.

Fair enough, fingers crossed it’s been bollocks!

Apparently Gallagher is fine and will play tonight after all. Docherty back running but not gonna make it. Outside chance of being involved at Arbroath.

CCX2 2010 · 29/12/2023 9:47 pm

Not made it this week so watching it on the tele. Everything in terms of application and fight is certainly there from what you can tell from watching on the TV.

Got to put a few of these guilt edge chances in the net and keep the look of disappointment on Crightons face.

Another 45 like the first please.

kiwiarab · 29/12/2023 10:40 pm

Really needed that win, and it's another clean sheet.

Gallagher going off injured is the main negative, bbc think it's a groin injury.

CCX2 2010 · 29/12/2023 10:42 pm

That's much more like it.

I thought Grimshaw, Sibbald and Kia all had very good games.

I've heavily critical of Tony this season however credit where its due and not justvthe goals, his all round work rate was very evident. That's the bench mark and shows he can do it, let's keep that going.

Hopefully Gallagher isn't too bad an injury, never gave Graham a kick.

On to Arbroath.
