MotM vs St Mirren

[ian1964 10,447]

Colak for me, Goldson strolled it as well and has been pretty consistent recently

[Frankie 8,182]

Has to be Colak but good to see several players do the business with McGregor, Goldson, Lundstram and Sakala all on form for me.

 

Nice cameo from Yilmaz as well.

Davies was fine too. 

Jack pretty good. 

 

only really Matondo was poor and he hit the post and put in a great ball for Colak that he should have scored from. 

 

Very encouraging domestically at least.

I've voted for Sakala because he's been left in the lurch for a while but still shows great enthusiasm when he gets his chance, as well as creating and scoring - both of which we need.

Since qualifying for CL, we haven't laid a glove on any decent opposition.

 

Cumulative 0-13 in 4 games.

The players believe they can beat provincial clubs in Scotland but don't seem to carry that belief into bigger challenges. 

 

You could argue Napoli at Ibrox was better than the rest, so maybe it is in part down to the negative approach to difficult away games.

 

Negative rather than pragmatic. For example, under WS there was an organised and pragmatic approach that players bought into.

True. Two relaxing 4-0s make a pleasant change from nervous 1-0s.

I think gunslinger was referring to the CL results (4, 3 and then 2-0), as a result of buster's comment.

Also, domestically, over the period since our last loss, our main rivals have gone from scudding everyone out of the park, to one loss and two narrow wins - the most recent relying on an OG and a last gasp winner.

 

I think it's fair to say we're coping with the midweek CL games better than they are. I'm hopeful we can take the lead before the winter shut down.

Against decent opposition away from home, not really. Although you have to qualify that with recognition of a higher level of opposition last week. 

 

We'll find out more tomorrow regards the difference of approach between playing away and playing at Ibrox.

They are there for the taking may be a supreme optimists take but I think we can definitely give them a decent game and hope that we take the chances that come our way and they continue to misfire somewhat.

 

Against domestic opposition, yes and a major difference is the now almost habitual early Colak goal.
