St Johnston have some decent players, don't think it will be a walk in the park.
3-1.
3-1.
Borna is a big factor too I think. With Helander playing alongside its a natural balance and I think it gives him more of a licence to go forward.Lot of love for Katic but Helander was top quality midweek and he will develop as a first choice centre back for us. Goldson is getting a lot of stick but is consistently excellent for us and is also a leader on the pitch which I’m sure Gerrard values. Goldson is the one who seems to marshal the back 4, he’s very vocal. Katic and Edmundson will both get plenty of opportunities but the reality in my view is that the leadership and experience of Goldson and Helander will more often than not be the pairing we see especially given the right/left sided balance they offer. And I’d be perfectly fine with that.

Burn out? The season has just started. We'll have Scottish cup and League cup games to deal with. The majority of our strongest team will play in the League and Europe.That is at odds with the transfer strategy. We went with volume of similar standard of player so changes could be made.
I am concerned we may burn out jack and davis. Glad Arfield is getting a break he was knackered.
Plastic pitch influenced Katic omission?
Aye because Mark Warburton didn't sign players who had no chance of making starting 11as warbs used to say "players have to see the first team".
Barker really needs to just shave his head, that's some combover.

Katic has loads of potential but he is very young. If you play with two attack minded full backs then you need two experienced CH. Katic more used to playing with Flanno who gets a nosebleed if to far forwardAgreed. Could very well be why Borna was more positive midweek. I hadn’t made that connection but think you are correct.
He isn't a child. If a player is good enough he should be in the team on merit. I could understand it if he was just coming in from the youth team but he isntExactly Katic is a young player, Gerrard is just managing his development and will bring him back in
Don’t think anyone has considered thisPlastic pitch influenced Katic omission?
Watch O Halloran have the game of his life today. Turned up once in his career already, against us.
Gerrard putting that to bed though so are you honestly accusing Gerrard of telling lies?Sounds like the Katic bust up story was true.
There is no way he would not have been in the squad Thursday or today if he had not said something to either the coaching team or the gaffer.
Or even to Goldson as had been claimed by Bill Young.
.. not going to happen. they are too similar so it would be an issueAs much as I like Goldson, i still think Katic and Helander have the potential to be our best pairing. Hopefully it's just a knock Katic is carrying and nothing more in it.
Youd need to be mental to NOT make something up in your own head?
Okay.
Looks weak? That is our strongest midfield 3, and arguably strongest in the league by some distance.I shouldnt worry about today,as it should be a walkover.why am i a tad nervous then.. team looks good on paper but i think the midfield looks weak... just a observation..
We never play well up there.. just 3 points needed
I had a dream that we won 3-1, king scored the last goal and invited me down onto the pitch to do a weird celebration with him. So on that basis we'll probably win 6-0.
I copped a ban on the old forum for my thoughts on O'Halloran, so I'll just say that he's not a very nice person and I hope he has a poor game.
I thought it was weird too he hasn’t put any rangers related stuff on his social media when normally he’s posting loads and loads about games and training photosSounds like the Katic bust up story was true.

The weirdest thing is it was Dave not Andy.I had a dream that we won 3-1, king scored the last goal and invited me down onto the pitch to do a weird celebration with him. So on that basis we'll probably win 6-0.
Honestly
I don’t recall this amount of bed wetting when any other player has been dropped in my entire time on FF.
we kept a clean sheet against feyenoord
I’m more than happy to keep these 2 together.
Get over the Katic love in its becoming tiresome
