ArabFC Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 What a difference a month makes. Four weeks ago this topic was full of folk worrying about an absolute pumping and a possible relegation battle. Seven new signings have made a helluva difference! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the radio last night they were declaring this the best team since the 90s which was a little wild! But, then imagine that 2014 team with Fletcher up top, Levitt in Paton's place and Mulgrew instead of Gunning. Oh the sex! Stopped at 2013 as its a comparison with other teams who have played in Europe. McNamara failing to qualify for Europe with the 2014 squad never mind a trophy was a fucking disgrace 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few comments of how they enjoyed the game even though they lost because of the amazing atmosphere. Probably goes to show how they might not ‘want it’ quite as much as we do, which can only help. Indeed. Hopefully they underestimate us again at home too. I still think that was a large part of why they were so poor the first leg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look over the two Tuzla legs, they won 1-0 at home and took them until midway through the second half away from home to score their second of the night/third on aggregate. Heads dropped and they stuck another couple of easy goals past them. I just really hope that Odgaard and Bazoer are out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 As much as I am enjoying us being European giants again, I'd prefer we played league games on a Saturday. That should be fine with us being in the Champions League next year, but will be a frustration this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Warrior Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It really hits home on Saturday lunchtime, just how shite a Sunday game is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 I must be one of the few who doesnt mind a Sunday game. Gives you the opportunity to watch the lunchtime game, coupon on, few beers watching the scores then watch the teatime game all without having to worry about missing anything. Tomorrow can get to the pub and watch the Edinburgh derby then head up to Tannadice afterwards 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFE ARABIAN Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think we're likely to see Ross Graham, Young Erch, Cudjoe, Niskanen and maybe one other come in tomorrow. Would be very surprised if JR doesn't make wholesale changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play the starting XI you’re planning on for Thursday. Edited August 6, 2022 by ArabFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 The squad isn't nearly strong enough to be fannying about resting guys after two competitive games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no insight into the team selection, but I’m fully confident that JR will go with his strongest team cos it’s the right thing to do at this stage of the season. Only changes I might make are to drop out Freeman and Harkes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more to be gained by winning tomorrow and gaining confidence and fitness for the first choice XI than would be gained by resting guys at this stage of season and running the risk of wasting points, confidence and momentum. Any changes tomorrow are likely to be to strengthen the team (by bringing in McGrath and - if his permit is through - Behich). Levitt took a knock on Thursday. If he's less than 100%, I might be tempted to give him a rest, perhaps for Meekison, but that'd be it.
