It would be lovely if we don't just shite the bed tbh. You can be the most staunch person on the planet but the evidence of us at the piggery just doesn't inspire confidence.
Fantasy land stuff but if we were to win by 2 goals they would be going to Rugby Park under a lot of pressure. That would be our only hope5 goals behind them is as good as a point so we must defy all odds and form to win handsomely.Fvck me we are way overdue a performance to stick Brenda back in his box.
Spot on with this pal.Opportunity in or around the box? Hit it first fucking time, stop trying to take extra touches.
Butland start coming off his line to collect crosses like he did first half of the season.
Have possession with the ball and no one around you? keep fucking moving forward with it, don't pass it to someone who is already marked.
Pass direct, with pace, none of this floaty ball pish.
This is what we need to do to win.
Win.
Of course it is but to win the title we have to bash them.Fantasy land stuff but if we were to win by 2 goals they would be going to Rugby Park under a lot of pressure. That would be our only hope
the team may surprise us and start the game well, we do that and it could dictate the flow of the match, we certainly can't do what we did the last time with Tav's 1st minute shockerThat is ultimately all that matters. Win by any means and we are level on points and at worst 3 goals behind. I'd bite your hand off for that prospect even yesterday, let alone after the Ross County and Dens Park disasters!
Dessers out of form cos he didn't score today? Despite bagging the winner last week and both goals in the Semi the game before that?Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Wether it's more bodies in midfield to stifle the game, Matondo through the middle (don't laugh, see Sakala in 1-1 game), or a formation change in some way. We need to come up with something different and create a surprise on the day.
After today, and his last performance at their dump, I'm not sure we can go into the game with Dessers up front. He seems to have the jitters at the moment when it comes to shooting. We cant have him pass up any good chances that come our way. 20 goals and all that but he's bang out of form.
Well, maybe his inconsistency.Dessers out of form cos he didn't score today? Despite bagging the winner last week and both goals in the Semi the game before that?
I agree though that something has ti be done differently. I'm thinking more along the lines of not conceding something ridiculous early and give ourselves a chance to get a foothold in the game. So whoever starts, just fking concentrate from minute one and let's not have our backs against the wall before we've even woken up.
mate we got away with the chances Dessers missed today, but that will not always be the case, especially against them, that's the main gripe, and it no like it's a one off thing with him, there's a reason why he divides the supportDessers out of form cos he didn't score today?

I now I'll get shot down here, but I'd drop Tav and play Sterling at right back, it'll no happen I know
I’d like to see Sterling in centre mid for his aggression and energyInsanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Everyone in the squad is inconsistent. No exceptions.Well, maybe his inconsistency.
As others have said, we've really no one else unfortunately.
There's no one in the squad who's any more clinical than him though so we've got to work with what we have. At least til next season.mate we got away with the chances Dessers missed today, but that will not always be the case, especially against them, that's the main gripe, and it no like it's a one off thing with him, there's a reason why he divides the support
I know mate, some folks are just venting and I include myself in that sometimes, that's what he does to the fans, give us that at leastThere's no one in the squad who's any more clinical than him though so we've got to work with what we have. At least til next season.
Could you imagine what the likes of Butcher & Gough would be saying to the troops if they were in the dressing room next Saturday.
Oh to dream!
Constant long balls against Carter-Vickers and Scales just won’t do.
Get Silva through the middle, Dessers on the bench and move the ball.
If we adopt the same tactics we have done in the last two games under Clement there will only be one winner. We also can’t afford a slow start or to concede an early goal.
We’ve nothing to lose, it’s a must win. Get at them from the get go like a team possessed.
I know that, no amount of venting is going to make him any less inconsistent as a finisher. He is what he is and despite his faults he's the best we've got to see us thru to the end of the season. It's the hope that kills you I know but we've just got to cross every finger that his purple patch in front of goal is next week. No other choice at this point have we.I know mate, some folks are just venting and I include myself in that sometimes, that's what he does to the fans, give us that at least
Or belief against them.The problem that most of our players don't have any drive and intensity
Not a hope in hell Tav and Lundstram won’t start.Hopefully Yilmaz can play , If Big Phil is determined to play a 4231 id drop Lundstram and play Sterling and Diomande as the double pivot or another option is a 433 and go with Lundstram Diomande and another with a view to going more attacking later in the game.
Id also consider dropping Tav and play Sterling to nullify Maeda who will probably start.
We had some joy in playing out in December. Think Yilmaz makes a huge difference, hopefully Davies can help tooI don't think we should be attempting to play out from the back against them.
Pains me to say it, but we're not good enough to play around their press.
We absolutely do need to do a better job of pressing them, their defence is their weakness.
This all day longNot play sterling on the top right
He simply must be in midfield
I suspect we’ve resorted to more long balls because Clement knows the players don’t have the legs to press and move the way we were doing up until the end of February.We resort to the long ball and crosses from wide so often that it has to be a tactic from the manager rather than the players going rogue because they're the main features of our approach play.
If we're going to be a long ball team then at least be good at it and get players with the skill set to utilise the tactic.

There was some good football going on before then. I have to believe that’s the way he really wants us to play.
Yes - what is he doing now? Very strange.Opportunity in or around the box? Hit it first fucking time, stop trying to take extra touches.
