Whilst I concede that on their day they can pose a formidable threat, too often in the last couple of seasons the trannie scored crucial goals that saved their bacon and got wins from draws and draws from losses that hid the fact that they had played poorly. They are an established squad and what you see is what you get...meaning there is little room for improvement. A win for the rags would merely seem to confirm in their minds that they are still ahead of us. A loss to us would worry them very much and show the World that they are not the team that they think they are. They seem to be very reliant on Shrek. Stopping him and the supply to him is crucial.
City: We are a club/squad/team on the up. As the season rolls on, better understanding between players should see us improve. On paper and depending on availability, we should be able to put out a team that is at least their equal if not superior to theirs. Our bench should be stronger and offer Hughes a huge bigger number of options than Taggart. A loss to the rags on their swamp would not be critical but merely show that though we are improving and should at some point overtake them, we are not quite there yet...A measure of the present but not of our possible potential in the near future. A win for City, especially on the back of our display against the Gonners, would be a massive boost for City and would establish and confirm our credentials and our arrival in the elite.
bring it on.
