    Unbelievable month coming up for us..


    LC Final, pivotal EL match v top opposition and difficult away games v Hibs, Motherwell, Sheep, and Hun


    Sun, 2nd Dec Aberdeen Betfred Cup 15:00 N

    Wed, 5th Dec Motherwell Premiership 19:45 A
    Sat, 8th Dec Kilmarnock Premiership 15:00 H
    Thu, 13th Dec FC Salzburg UEFA Europa League 20:00 H
    Sun, 16th Dec Hibernian Premiership 12:30 A
    Wed, 19th Dec Motherwell Premiership 19:45 H

    If we can win every game, it would be some achievement.

    I think we're bound to lose or draw at least one. As long as it's a league game, I will be a very happy bunny.

    I see possibly dropping points. Most likely Salzburg and Hibs, after Sunday we will know if Aberdeen will be able to take points from us.

    Indeed. Just having a look at this time last year:

    Little bit disappointing so hoping we can maintain this form we know we are capable of this year and avoid defeat

    Having so many fit midfield options that are genuine quality makes a big difference.. we’ll need them.

    As long as we don't lose in the cups or against the scum then I'll be happy. Ideally we win every game but it's some task considering the amount of games in just 4 weeks.

    Easter road after Salzburg, pittodrie followed by ibrokes.. mental.

    You could well be right, if we've won the 1st Cup of the season and stretching away in the league I will be very happy. The longer Sevco remain within touching distance the more "honest mistakes" we will see.
    I will be disappointed if we don't go to Ipox with less than a 6 point lead , which will become 9 after we stuff them , even if we don't have any fans there.
    Unfortunately I have come to the same conclusionn as a lot of you, in that I don't think any other teams are consistent enough to challenge for 2nd place.

    Going to (hopefully) be the case from now until the end of the season.

    In September, November was the month that was going to shape our season and it has; ended Hearts Title challenge, knocked them out the Cup to reach the Final and brought Europe back into our own hands.

    I think we'll drop at least 2 points at either Motherwell or Killie at home,maybe draw against Salzburg. I think we'll win the rest.

    Aye, I know what you’re saying every game is massive never mind every month.

    However, we could finish Dec with the league almost dusted, first leg of a triple treble in place, European football in Jan and hopefully another lesson handed out at Bigotdome. Seems huge..

    Looking at that 4-0 defeat still stings.

    That whole game was a shambles, Simunovic played as if he was wearing a blindfold in it.

    Win or draw against Salzburg and beat the monkeys, the rest will take care of itself.

    I can genuinely only see us dropping points in 2 game's tops....and that's me just throwing Killie in, even though I think we'll hammer them. Salzburg at home I think we'll get the draw to take us through which will be massive..

    We'll hammer the sheep in the final..

    We now are shaping up to have the depth to cope with this month at the perfect time..

    Izzy can come in for KT. Broony and Ntcham are back. Griff is back. Gamboa can fill in. Bain can come in. Ajer will be back soon..

    We may need a Morgan/Johnston or Hayes to step up in this period..

    There isn't 1 fixture there that we will or should fear. We've definitely got the fear factor back and our mojo as team's now don't know how to play us. Going after us doesn't work and they get ripped a new * and we are now forcing mistakes from the opposition defences when they sit deep..

    Usually we play the Huns and are off the back of a grueling schedule with European game's kicking off from pre season. I think this month will be where they struggle with their squad playing this amount of game's and a trip away in Europe. We'll be the last thing they need at that point and will be dead on their feet I think..

    Gonna be brilliant being able to bring guy's like Ntcham in for Christie and vice versa..

    Blow team's away with our pressing and tempo and rotate the squad with the right subs, and keeping possession. Brendan calls it resting with the ball..

    I can see us having a magical month in all honesty as we're certainly back and doing all our talking on the pitch now..

    Vital month, but there's only 3 games I'll cry over if we don't win. Crazy we've got Aberdeen away on the Wednesday then Ibrox on the Saturday.
