We fairly manage to find ways of deflating optimism.Despite Ramandanis departure catching us a bit off guard,saw someone saying it was 'pathetic' we didnt have a replacement lined up    Not that I expect anything from today,...a good showing and respectable scoreline I'll take this time round.  Prediction 2 - 2 Clarkson,Rubezic thunderbolt Agree. Signing good players is hard! It also gives polvara morris and Duncan an opportunity to show they are capable of contributing. From the team today I don’t see them as being long term starters and expect at least 3 more signings, which could include loans on the very last day of the window. The bullshit timing of the window and our league starting means we cannot really judge the squad in august, we have to be patient and hope things go our way this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Im still hoping theres more to come from Duncan,been a bit timid,within himself.A game like this might suit him.Polvara,Morris in the balance.

redordead Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Gonna be a long game Miovski being nudged off the ball like a 12 year old. Honestly still don't think he's anywhere near good enough to be leading our line. Never gets his shot away. Flat track bully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokinginashearerwonderland Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Massive chance missed there by Shinnie. Should be 1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'll give him that. Though duk did the work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 2 preventable goals, big fan of shinnie but needless shinnie foul for the first and obviously devlin’s error. However, I can take that given we are actually trying to play and attack. Breath of fresh air seeing a first half like that against Celtic.

OrlandoDon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 And I’ll add it’s only one half. But definitely a clearly different approach to playing Celtic. Refreshing attitude/mentality, what so many have cried out for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Been a cracking half to be fair. Celtic don't look as good as last season and I think there are more goals in the next half. Hopefully for us , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordDon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 We may be losing, but I like what I see in how we are playing. This game is definitely not out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Feel sorry for Devlin. Reckon over the piece he'll be an ok signing and a solid 7/10 most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Encouraging 45 mins. Duncan needs to sort out his first touch, other than that he's been okay. Odd to see Rubezic overlapping and getting to the edge of the box but I like it, it appears Robson wants him to target Nawrocki. Shinnie - needless foul for first goal apart - been excellent, as has Duk. Just really frustrating as we should be at least level.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Think devlin will be a solid signing for us. And big Ruby at the back will get booked most games. Just hope he lasts this game…..and many! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time ever there's been the faintest trace of anticipation when Morris strides forward with the ball, instead of an overbearing acceptance of imminent disappointment. Polvara looking pretty good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrlandoDon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I hate losing but I can accept that. We gave it our best, loved the attitude. Can’t criticize anyone, good performances all around but special mention to ruby, very good player. We really lacked a number 10/center mid to help clarkson. Not a dig at shinnie or polvara but we lacked quality there resulting in too much long ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besuijen and Bavidge were the only unused attacking subs and I wouldn’t expect either of them to have made a difference. The team was playing well so no point making changes just for the sake of it.

Slim Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 It’s not really about making a difference, more balancing out Celtic having 5 players with fresh legs and fitness levels usually being a main contributor to result swings in the last 10-15 minutes of games.

Elgindon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Wasnt as painful as I thought it might be.Get our weaker areas sorted(left back and central midfield,) and we might have taken something from today. Â Â Looking forward to the 2 or 3 apparent new recruits,and what we might do when everyones fit. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
