View Full Version : Sevco not so confident but wouldn't admit it.

For weeks the confidence and arrogance of the Hun fans has grown but I think they're having a wee look over their shoulders. Normally they don't stoop to commenting on any other teams or games in their league but today they are mocking and sneering at our 'big' win. I doubt if we're putting the fear of death iinto them but the fact that they are pretending to laugh at us means they're not 100% confident. They themselves didn't have such a convincing win today.

They must be really good at hiding it then because they seem REALLY confident that they'll win the league at a canter.

They'll struggle as soon as injuries hit them. Imagine them without either Tavernier or Wallace? They're whole system falls apart. They don't have enough variation in their squad to last as long as Hearts did.

It's in their DNA (don't no anything sp) they knew Scott Brown was going to sign, they knew they wouldn't go out of business, they knew they were going to win the league last year, they knew they were going to sign Scott Allan, they knew Craig Whyte was a billionaire FFS. If you listen to huns you only have yourself to blame.

It would have been good if they managed to drop a couple of points today, and reduce the 9 point gap (we do have game in hand though). If we can keep on squeezing out the wins then why can't we catch/ overtake ? We finished above them last season after a bad start, we are only 6 games in. No reason why we can't do it again.

Their bench is quite weak. Injuries and suspensions will expose that. It's up to us to take advantage when that happens.

It also wouldn't surprise me if warburton gets offered a better paid less sectarian gig mid season and jumps ship.

They're absolutely skooshing the league so far and they've already got a comfortable lead over us, they're thumping teams (today apart) and we're scraping by them.

The league's not over yet but let's not kid ourselves on, they're not worried in the slightest about us catching them at this stage.

I'm not too unhappy about this.

We need to just worry about our own games at the moment and get a bit of momentum going.

I'm happy for them to be totally complacent at this stage because their hiccup could then come at a more destructive time.

The more complacent they get the more likely they are to self-destruct if/ when a wobble comes round.

If they seen todays game I doubt they will be quaking in their boots. Yes we won but it was a less than spectacular performance against one of the worst teams in the league. But as someone mentioned, I'm happy for them to become cocky. We just need to focus on ourselves and keep picking up the points. They wont go unbeaten this season, there will be slip ups for them along the way, how they react and deal with them remains to be seen but we just have to make sure that we capitalise on it.

The season still has a long way to, many twists and turns still to come.

They're light for cover at full back and up front. If Waghorn gets injured/suspensions their only real replacement is Kenny Miller. Our squad is deeper and should be able to cope better once injuries and suspensions start becoming a factor.

I doubt very much that we will close the gap to less than 9 points over the rest of the season never mind win the league. Our best hope is the play offs again. If the Huns have injuries or the league is close they will bring players in in January. Hibs have been average at best this season and yesterday was awful

Are some of us though perhaps a tad guilty of the same sin of arrogance, even without realising it?

We seem to castigate Sevco for their dismissiveness of us, but many of us completely seem to ignore the fact that the team closest to Rangers is not us, but Falkirk, who although a couple of points above us,apparently are not worthy of any concern at all?

:agree:

I was delighted to get the Falkirk game cancelled a few weeks ago.

That will be a tough, tough game and we need a few more weeks to get our team playing before we can go into that with confidence.

They've kept a lot of their best players and will certainly be a force, if not over the course of an entire season then definitely in the matches against them and in a potential play-off match.

I've been happy with our performances at home so far and that is a huge improvement on last season at this time.

We did well to get the 3 points yesterday but only once we've won a few tricky away games will I get a bit more comfortable. When we're winning away to Falkirk, St Mirren, Raith, St Mirren and QotS then I'll believe for sure that we're challenging.

It was our long, winning run that took in wins at places like that that got us promoted the last time we were in the First Division.

Same goes for The Rangers though - a lot went their way before they eventually won comfortably at Palmerston and they made heavy weather of things yesterday.

When they've won at Easter Road, Falkirk and the like then I'll be more likely to concede it to them.

I'm referring to some posters on FF. I just feel that total Sevco confidence usually brings contempt and an obvious attempt to completely ignore and dismiss their opponents. The fact that some of them feel the need comment on us suggests a wee question mark in their confidence.

Hopefully that clip with King will become the new "I would love it, love it" from Kevin Keegan, where people look back at it and think "thats where they lost the title."

They can think it's all over and to be fair they may be right but complacency is a dangerous mindset to have.

Been saying this for a while now and as other poster point out, they don't have strength in depth. Man for man against us, I would say that only in the full back areas they are slightly better. We wipe the floor with them in every other area including the bench. Injuries will be their Achilles heel, (pardon the pun), lets be honest, going by what we've seen so far and by checking the history books, suspensions wont play a part.

And yet Sevco Huns are putting teams away comfortably whilst we're scraping out 1-0 wins. That gives them more margin for error than us, because a fluke goal for our opponents can cost us two points whilst against them it would only be a consolation.

:agree: We just need to keep winning until they come to Easter Road. I'm assuming they won't lose before they play us so it's important we keep the gap at six points (after winning our game in hand against Falkirk) and then close it to three points after beating them and then it's game on again.

It will be tough to match their consistency but it's not impossible.

One thing that keeps getting mentioned on threads is the lack of goals. With the amount of strikers we have, who, at least on paper(ignoring form/fitness, etc) have the pedigree to score goals, I really believe that over the course of the year the goals will start coming thick and fast. Cummings, Keatings, Malonga, El-Alagui, Feruz and Anier all have it in them to score goals and finally we also have an attacking threat in midfield from McGeouch, McGinn and Henderson. There's lots of options and over he course of the season all of these players will be scoring several goals.

I think the fact that we have so many strikers on the books at the same time means that they will all be trying their hearts out for the starting spots or even starts of the bench; they'll push each other to play their best and I think they'll really start to deliver very soon.

Haven't watched their games Bingo but remember hearing on Radio Scotland that their first penalty against Livingston was a terrible decision.
