Squirrelhumper Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 No goals against them last season was very poor imo. Appreciate what he accomplished last season but I don't rate Shiels very highly as a manager. Be interesting to see how they perform in the league this season. We lost 7 or 8 players, 5 of whom played in cup final. We have signed two. Squad is very inexperienced. 17 year up front first two games.

milo Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Badly need a win out of the next two games. No disrespect to Ross County, St Johnstone, Killie, and St Mirren, but if after those 4 games we're still winless, that's fucking chronic. And I'll be officially panicing! Thanks to my encouraging words we'll hopefully get the win though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Saturday is actually a big game. A win and two draws is a good start, but two draws and a defeat is a shite start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweed Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Saturday is actually a big game. A win and two draws is a good start, but two draws and a defeat is a shite start. What about three draws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Wellfan 2k7 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think we'll lose miserably, or win comfortably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think Law has done well in the centre the past few games, but as Fritz pointed out to me, he is having to do far too much with his back to goal. Would be open to Cummins in and Ramsden in midfield. Definitely a seat on the bench for Ojamaa and a seat in the stand hopefully for Daley. The St. Johnstone game was the first time for me that I visibly saw us miss Jennings. There were many times St. Johnstone broke forward and there was a massive, a gap which Jennings had the nous to fill just about every time a team counter attacked against us last season.

MelvinBragg Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 You do realise we still have Law and Hutch and didn't sell them yesterday.. A lot can happen in the next couple of days. Not saying that they'll be sold by Saturday but if negotiations are at an advanced stage by then, professional as both Law and Hutchinson are, Will they have 100% focus on the game...

StipeIsGod Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Are we not due one of the SteelmenOnline's resident gargoyles telling us how shite Humphrey is, and that with his presence, and Higdon's, we'll actually concede more at half time than we could ever score!?

Stu Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Shh! With all the flak Daley's been getting, the boo-boys have forgotten all about Humphrey. Don't bring attention to it. Let's see if Humphrey can flourish without all the negativity that has followed him around at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 saying that humphrey isn't very good at football isn't exactly a controversial statement. he's been howling in the two games he's played this season. how long is he out for?

well-army Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 We seem to struggle against Killie no idea why..... As MJC and Jay have said i'd start with McHugh and higdon up front . Don't see many goals so i'll go for 0-0 or a narrow 1 - 0 win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC_MKI Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 As well as playing McHugh up front instead of Ojamaa, I'd also move Murphy to the right and play Law on the left of midfield. Murphy is too predictable on the left as was touched on by someone in the St.Johnstone match thread, he always wants the ball on his right foot. I'd line up; Randolph Hateley Cummins Hutchinson Francis-Angol Murphy Lasley Ramsden Law Higdon McHugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 First Killie away game in years I'm not making. After last years bore fests I'm actually not that bothered . Guaranteed 4-4 draw now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 missing this so hopefully it'll play out like last one i missed when we won 3-1 at tannadice. i can see us playing 3 centrebacks against levante so i think cummins will get some game time. i'd stick hateley in the middle of the park and ramsden to right back and go with a 4-3-3/4-5-1 type deal randolph ramsden hutchy cummins zfa lasley hateley law mchugh higdon murphy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEWELL Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yep i was at that last game at Killie who were knackered after they'd been partying all week after winning the league cup and we we playing our most important game for months to get us that crucial euro slot..Cue a HORRENDOUS and VERY VERY comfortable 2-0 win for them. I see the same thing happening again on saturday so im giving it a miss and keeping my money for thursday. <_> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywellscott Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 See they have signed a midfielder/striker yesterday. Not sure if I will be at game tomorrow (sons birthday), but lets hope we gets some goals, give Bob a start upfront along with Higgy and stick OJ just off them to give him a chance to get at them, with Law, Las and Murph in midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Humphrey returns to the squad, Daley reportedly out with the same injury. Can't possibly imagine how we'll cope without Daley's committed contribution. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdalli10 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 i hate this game I'll be less than 2 miles away from the stadium at bloody work till 6 we're due to give killie an absolute thumping 3-0 motherwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StipeIsGod Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 In dire need of a victory today to kickstart the season a bit. In theory, we should really take 9 points from the next three games. Europe's all well and good, but we need to get a good start in the league before the small squad issues start later in the year. Having said that, I'm going for a battling draw today. (feeling more negative than my earlier 1-0 prediction, but sticking with us getting a goal in off Higdon's arse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
