I think its about time we had a proper look at Kapo, he has came out & said hes ready to make his debut, I think this weekend we should throw him in, change the side a little aswell..

 

Fact is if Kapo starts, everyone will say how bad he is, thatl be becuase he hasnt played a proper match for ages, even if he comes on as a sub people will most likely say how bad he is for the same reason, no one will give him time

 

Time to seriously go on a run, no more * wee draws or losses to these diddy teams. We should play Kapo to see what he can bring to the team and what qualities he has.

Time to bounce back and go on a winning run before the old firm

 

If there is a match, I would go along with that. Maybe Kapo would come off the bench though.

 

I completely forgot about Kapo.

 

We can only pish with the * we have got, and that is Lenny's problem, and has been until we can get Kayal and Brown back. Until then he has to harvest the best team out of the pack, and Inverness Caley are on fire just now, and probably not the team we would have wanted to be facing after Saturday's draw, but it is a must win, we can't afford to cede any more ground to Rangers. A three point deficit going into January would be acceptable IMO, but no more. Anything else is a bonus. I think Lenny must start playing a three man central midfield, I can't understand why he didn't before. My three would be Juarez - Ledley - Ki. I would also be sorely tempted to drop Majstorovic, and maybe play Misun alongside Rogne. A gamble I know, but I think Majstorovic is a gamble anyway, but I liked what I saw of Misun in the pre season games at centre back.

 

That's my team for Inverness, with stokes in for McCourt if he has recovered

Im not to fussed on mcginn or mccourt tbh but until forrest is back mcginn will do.
Kapo should get a run out.

 

If the game goes ahead.....

Forster

Wilson Rogne Majstorovic Izaguirre

McGinn Ledley Ki Maloney

Hooper Stokes

Ill take any sort of win, i think this will be a harder game than what we thought dundee utd was.

2-0 or 2-1 i reckon, Hooper and McGinn with the goals

McGinn Ledley Ki Maloney

Hooper Stokes​

3-1 celtic
Hooper 2 McGinn ​

 

i think mcginn is a must start, been one of our better players since he came back from injury

 

You being serious???? Hes awful. His final ball is pish poor ! Gets in good areas and then * it up. Not a snippet on wee james forrest ! Cant wait till he is back !

 

McGinn is good, just let down by his delivery at times. I'd start him. Anybody but Sammy is my opinion.

 

forrest is a defo starter dont get me wrong but as hes injured i think mcginn should be startin before sammy, mccourt and maloney

 

Looking forward to this, want to see the team bounce back and get themselves on a run again before the OF game.

Be tricky in spells but i'll say 3-0 winners in the end. Hooper (2), Maloney.

---------------Forster

Juarez--Majstorovic--Rogne--Izzaguirre

McCourt------Ki--Ledley------Maloney

---------Stokes-------Hooper

I think Paddy definitely deserves a start, and I'd experiement with Juarez at RB after he done well at the World Cup.

Ki has got to stay in the team, he's like the glue which keeps the team together, I'm so happy for him with the way he has played since he broke into the side again.

we need a good performance for confidence. also hopefully game goes ahead :icon_mrgreen:

go 3-1 with hooper samaras and maloney on scoresheet.

 

I know this is not a popular view but I would like to see how we perform without Ki so I would give Juarez a chance in there.Also I know it wont happen but Crosas in as part of a 3 man central midfield and no team would get the ball from us.
