Celtic v Braga Thursday October 2nd kick off 5:45 TNT sports 2

I disagree on McCowan. We looked active and dangerous with him in the midfield. I specifically want him to start against Braga.

 

This one

 

Iheanacho buries his sitter and Maeda has an assist. Barring a last ditch block on the 6 yard line, Maeda has a goal. It's fine margins.

To say it "failed" after one cause didn't score is kneejerk as *.

 

Sorry pal, he been tried there before and he's fucken useless on the right wing.

 

Can't see anything positive happening with this game.

Has a boring 0-0 written all over it with the same slow and turgid play.

 

Just noticed they were playing and 1 nil down at home. 25 to go..

On sport tv 1 in Portugal..

 

Few minutes to go but Nacional look majorly comfortable. Having loads of the ball and the more likely to score another..

Braga looks quite easy to play through down the middle and out wide..

Edit: lost 1 nil. They looked dreadful, their fans all waving white hankies and going daft. Away side burst through in injury time and the guy missed 2 open goals practically..

 

They may be there for the taking but I wouldn't count on us being up for effecting it. We've just looked so blah for ages now.

 

We have a huge problem of how to shoot at a goal away from the keeper. Most shots against Hibs straight down the middle right at the keeper with no composure.

We will lose this due to our clownery of a defence with set pieces and our toothless attack.

 

Braga is good, but we are better. We will have 4 points after the game and be ready to face Sturm

 

So they can't defend and we can't attack. Sounds like it'll be a thriller.

 

Who will you be supporting against Sturm Graz?

 

Two hearts in one Body. But I will be in the away-section this time. For me the result does not matter as it does in other games. A dream comes true that I will be there with Sturm. It will be the game of my life.

 

Hope Sturm get hammered. No offence.

Enjoy it when it comes mate!

 

Think we'll sneak this one. Yeah Braga beat feyenord but apart from that they've been a bit poor..2 wins in 6 or something but no doubt have it in them to be better.
2-1

 

Important game these next 2. 6 points from 6 would put us in a great position

 

29 minutes silent protest in a European home tie is * stupid. And the next game after that is even longer. That is damaging the team.

It is the worst call they could possibly make.

 

Disappointing result at the weekend but the encouraging thing to take is that at least we have seem to progressed from not creating chances to creating chances but not taking them.

Iheanacho could have had a hattrick midweek v Red Star, Nygren should have scored too. We could have hit 4 or 5 against Hibs at the weekend.

This is a big game for us. A win sets us in a strong position for EL progression and I think it could kickstart a stuttering seasons so far.

I've been very pleased with our defensive performances so far this season, we aren't coughing up a whole pile of chances, do think we are weak on set plays though as it only seems to be Scales who can win a header in the box for us but we are a small team. Height wise CCV isn't the biggest centre half as he's only about 6ft but he makes up for it with his power.

McGregor had comfortably his best game of the season at the weekend.

Right wing a huge issue, I'd probably just run with Yang for now. I don't think Forrest impacts games from the start, Maeda is just bereft of confidence, Balikwisha doesn't look comfortbale there, Nygren doesn't have the legs so he's probably the best option of a bad bunch.

Kelechi I'm hoping will start firing when he builds his sharpness up. He could have had 6 goals in the last couple of games and he only played about 100 minutes over those 2 games.

 

I didn't think Maeda was awful on the right but hes obviously not the answer there.

Absolute masters of our own downfall.

 

Whilst we haven't lost many goals our defense is still so suspect at dealing with crosses and our keeper has also looked a bit dodgy too which doesn't help. The fact that we aren't scoring goals like we used to do only adds to the fear that a defensive slip up will cost us
