We just give the ball away to easily and struggle get a hold of the ball up front and keep it. The sad thing is the other teams around us are not really any better. 2 games with zero goals scored. Let’s hope that changes starting on Saturday.

FFS long just get the ball

Dammit Hylton just control it

Has Gillespie had a save yet?

All came from Campbell getting caught on the ball

We got a doing first game of the season but that was down to simple individual errors on our part and the fact that Celtic were 5 for 5 on chances. I still think it’s our best option.

Chances are we get beat regardless of how we approach the game but I think this is the best option.

Attacking line up. COYW !!!

Figure out their weakness and try to exploit that. So is that have a go at them ? Through the middle or on the wings? or is it counter attack with ball behind the defense for Long to run onto? Or do we mix it up for periods? I liked it first game of season but we can’t sustain the hi press for the whole game so maybe start of each half for 20 mins? I don’t know enough about how they play and what their players are like to propose the best way to play them but if we decide to sit in the whole game and give them too much respect odds are we will get beat anyway so why do that.

going into the games against Livingston and Celtic I was anticipating us coming out with 1 point from 6 so if we can somehow manage a draw on Wednesday night then we are no worse off than expected and even if we get beat I’d say We’ve only “squandered” the 1 point. I think the big outcry is because we were so bad people are worried we have lost it. Remember that most of us on here agree we will have inconsistent form throughout the season, Livingston was one of them.............. I hope !

Pretty sad when you don’t manage 1 single shot. So hopefully that’s our crappy game done for a few games.

BBC stats show we haven’t even had a shot never mind one on target

Surprised Grimshaw is on the bench. Whilst not everyone’s favorite and based on What little we have seen of Tait I would have Grimshaw starting.

Would be nice to see him follow the same path as Andy Robertson

They got 3 mins to get it done, right? 11pm in england

I hope Long gets better quick cause apparently we are not bringing in anyone to play thru the middle.

So who is Rolando. I have no clue.

Still all speculation and only about 8 hours to go. I may have to just not look again and wait to see the team line up tomorrow.

Ideal of course is they loan him back for the rest of the season. Works for me

When does window close? Jan 31st midnight?? edit: ok I googled it

When do we expect to have Long back playing ?

Certainly a tough game in store for us but another chance to give us added breathing space over our closest rivals. Let’s hope we can keep the good performances rolling along

What selections were wrong?

On the other side though 2 clean sheets in a row against top 6 sides. Not bad at all and here’s hoping we make it 3 in a row next week at Livingston.

I was a bit worried about today after all the effort expended at Aberdeen but well done to the players for maintaining the energy level and dominating possession. Missing 2 of our starting forwards today so perhaps not surprising we failed to score, especially against opposition whose main focus was to stop us scoring. Hoping we get back to full strength as quick as possible for our remaining games.
