Ralston McGregor Ntcham Miller

Griffiths

​

Wouldn't mind seeing Ralston and Miller be rewarded with more game time, this is likely to be the "safest" cl game they will take part in with a 5-0 cushion, I'd expect Astana to be going all guns blazing trying to score and I think with the energy and pace of Ralston and Miller bombing up the wings and the three defenders at the back that would be a great way to choke the * and hit them fast on the counter.

3-1 Celts.

 

Thank the lord I'm off today.

Looking forward to being able to watch the game in the comfort of my own hoose, and no hiding in the toilet at work for 90 minutes.

 

I would be happy starting Miller but not Ralston,it would just take a few silly mistakes then we go 2/3-0 down then the pressure would be on.Not much risk starting Miller.

 

So Roberts isn't starting?

 

I see no reason why Ralston can't be trusted he maybe wasn't as threatening going forward compared to Miller, but defensively he was solid, he had one moment of being caught in possession but quickly learned from which shows he's capable of adjusting quickly.

 

We have goals in us so we will score 2 at least

Going for a 2 2 long as we don't lose our record to this mob

 

I would bring him on 2nd half once we know how the games going for experience.

 

Have the full squad went out or did he leave some behind to rest?

 

Bonus to breaking my foot last week I will be watching this afternoon instead of working. Downside is I'm bored as * right now

 

Full squad only injured players left behind

 

Strongest possible team tonight to see this through. Hopefully come back with the win as well.

 

a win would be great, but I'd settle for a goal over there

 

If we fielded an ineligible player , would we only receive a 3-0 defeat and therefore progress to the next round?

 

I think we'll win, loose, or draw but still go through

 

Play Brendan's son again, * it.

 

Excited for today now - I'm sure BR will have us ready to be aggressive - key is to come through the first 10 mins unscathed, as they are likely to throw everything at us from the off. Once we settle we should be able to pick them off. Hard to decide between Tam and Callum - think i would probably start Callum for his energy off the ball.

 

The thing about it is even if they do attack attack attack, which they will, we have the pace and the ability to pick them off on the counter.

 

Would rather be hopping about my house, stuck on a usual 12 hour will get to see the first 10mins only

 

Ayr I'm working today ffs would love to be at home watching this.
