    See some of you * who think they are favourites have a * word with yourselves, you go on about our defences etc

    Lets compare defences then

    To date this season they have had their First choice back 5 and have shipped - 7 goals

    So far this season with all sorts of partnerships and injuries to the back 5 we have shipped - 8 goals.

    Now yes we have conceded more but we haven't had a settled back line in the first 10 games and McGregor has saved them time and again!

    Onto Goals scored

    Them -16

    Us - 19

    Yet again we have had an inconsistent front line.

    They haven't faced any strikers of note either, Osijek both first choice strikers out, Aberdeen - Cosgrove pish, St Mirren pish, Maribor - Taverners is finished but still caused them some issues!

    Yesterday was the first challenge; Main and Bowman they crumbled, they haven't met Dembele and Edouard yet either!

    Cant wait to sunday to get all these newbies off this * forum and back under your rocks!!!

    What is the logic behind thinking they’re favourites?

    I seriously don’t get it.

    Surely this is a bit of a daft question?

    If you can find me any bookies that have the huns as favourites then I'll review my position, but until then there's not really an argument to be had. We're favourites. That doesn't mean much to me in all honesty, because I do think Lafferty and Morelos have it in them to cause our soft-touch defenders some problems......but we're definitely favourites. The likes of Moussa, Griff, Edourd, Forrest, McGregor all have it in them to rip them to shreds and I'm confident that Brown and Ntcham will control the game from midfield.

    And yet we’re a point ahead of them.

    Doesn’t mean I’m not genuinely worried about the derby. I’ve said twice now that the thread title was to provoke discussion.

    aye while they have played the 4th best team in Macedonia and Croatia as well as a half baked Maribor team!

    what are the huns then if we are a shambles? Scored less goals, conceded 1 less but played the 4th best teams in their leagues?

    That’s fair enough but they’re not favourites.

    As disappointing as our form has been, it’s still better than theirs on paper really.

    Some people thought they were favourite when they met us last season, we were in a sticky patch and they were the form team having leathered some lower league opposition in the cup (WOOOO), they were gonny win the league remember our * was about to collapse any minute just watch it's coming!

    Beat them with 10 men.

    Get enough of this delusional pish from them, don't expect it here.

    The likes of Dembele, Brown, Ntcham, Tierney and Edouard are enough to turn it in our favour. Sevco are capable of taking advantage of our defence, but that leaves them open to our attack and midfield.

    Think you'd have to be incredibly arrogant to not see them as a threat.

    They're unbeaten this season. We're not.

    Minty had a wobble.
     
  19. "Unbeaten" hardly played anyone great and are in really average form themselves - have only won 5 out of 10 games, the best team they've probably played so far this season is Ufa who are sitting 12th in the Russian League with 1 win in 5 games.

    We have played against the teams who currently sit Top of the League in Scotland, Norway, Greece and Lithuania.
