    If they press high, there will be gaps everywhere. We simply have to be willing to lob passes over their heads, and give our front players something to run after.

    Want to see us with a really fast tempo, attitude of the players has to be right, this is a great chance to silence this mob.

    Defence needs sorted between now and Sunday if possible.

    Team struggles when pressured

    The first tackle I don't give a * if it's McGregor, Forrest or that. They better get * stuck in..

    Lenny better be telling them first challenges don't dare pull out and make sure you win them..

    Don't want to see us jumping out and away from tackles every again there.now

    They're *. Let them know/make them feel they're * and * as well..

    What a mess. Total lack of familiarity, no time to gel. Question marks regarding their ability, even bigger questions with bomb scare Bitton and the madman Jozo as our only other alternative...No cover defensively in midfield to boot. :55:

    And yet, nothing else we can do.

    Would take a draw now, to be brutally honest.

    This. Some folk are building them up to be something they're not. In my opinion, they have lost the two players who gave us most problems ( Kent and Candeas). They are there for the takinģ as long as we believe in ourselves and impose our game...

    If we signed the Legia Warsaw defence we would win this 5-0.

    Watched half hour of their game just there, some of my confidence has dwindled a bit after seeing them playing the ball about fairly composed in the middle and seeing our defence again tonight.

    If Ajer, Elhamed and Eddie end up out I think we'll struggle.

    It really will all depend on how Lenny sets us up and how well we start the game.

    Honestly cannot believe a squad like theirs has so many people unsure of who the favourite is going in to the game.

    We should still be so far ahead of them going in to these games thinking how many are we going to beat them by.

    A last minute winner like that will either give them a huge boost or that will be their cup final and they'll be out of steam come Sunday.

    Need to go at them from the start none of this soaking up their pressure for 20 mins especially if ajers out, defence is our weak link but our attack on form should blow them away if we're up for it, this is a massive game for lennon and this squad.

    Bookies have Sevco as favourites to win on Sunday.

    Turn up with the right attitude and we will hammer these basturts.

    If we can remain composed in midfield and play through their high press then our frontline will mince them.

    We've got this.

    Got a sneaky feeling we'll do this one..we're scoring very well, dodgy at the back of course, but genuinely think we can score more then the tribute band. Gonna be a great Sunday..old firm... then all Ireland final with my beloved Dubs! Bring it on!

    We match their intensity and we'll batter them, they're *. It's just whether we turn up or not.

    The way they won tonight with a late goal was a real boost for them.

    On paper we have a better team but i think that result tonight will give them a huge boost,this is going to be all down to how lenny prepares our team.For the first time in a long time im not to confident about sunday.

    Not confident at all.. the whole thing is a mess and certain players (Edouard, brown, ajer, McGregor, Christie) have played too many minutes. I so wanted to believe in boli but after tonight he's a complete liability for Sunday . So we sign Greg Taylor? We dump him in or we play boli? Ajer is a loss but if elhamed is fit we have ok cover at centre half and rb. I think them * need a surprise for Sunday , I'd start ntcham and McGregor . Mikey Johnson this is your day to come of age.
