    SPL - two goals in our last four home games.

    Can anyone remember a worse run?

    Lenny seriously needs to learn to ROTATE the players after European games.

    It's not rocket science, it's obvious - we have by a long, long way the best squad in the league, and the best squad we've had for quite some time - yet still he doesn't rotate.

    And the worst of it is, he doesn't seem to learn his lesson. Time after time, we struggle after a big CL game with players labouring, time after time he fails to take account of it.

    How the * Commons managed a full 90 mins today I will never know. Why Watt was subbed when looking dangerous? Search me. And why the unfit Scott Brown was preferred to the raring-to-go McGeough? :rolleyes:

    Need better from our manager. We are fighting a number of competitions. Rotate the squad.

    The subs boggled my mind today.
    An unfit player and a guy who runs into the opposition. Great :rolleyes:

    Total shambles

    Mulgrew, Commons, Hooper and Sammy should all be dropped for the next game.

    Lennon needs to learn he can drop these players, he has his favourites that he always has to play:38:

    Lassad, Miku, McGeouch and a few others deserve more of a chance.

    I've been one of the most adamant defenders of Lennon throughout his managerial reign at the club, but even I can see that he got it all wrong today.

    The initial team selection was fine, but the subs were ludicrous to say the least. I don't know what he was thinking about when he brought on Brown and took off Watt. Unbelievable.

    I'm afraid he's learned one lesson too many from Martin O'Neill on that score.

    We lost two league titles because MON was not willing to rest his favourites, leaving us with an increasingly tired, ageing 1st team in the last third of the season.

    Please let's not repeat that mistake: this season above all it would be so hard to take.

    Neil Lennon needs to sort this out NOW. Another DISGRACEFUL performance at home. Neil is fortunate that we're still doing OK in Europe. The results in the SPL are scandalous. When have played well at home in the SPL this season? It's got that bad I give my 2 season tickets to brother in law today.

    Martin O'Neill is being found out now for the ordinary manager that he is. He spent a fortune when he was our manager and left us with an ageing squad.

    Alex Ferguson has spent far more money at Man United than Martin O'Neill did at Celtic. Does that make SAF an ordinary manager too?

    Shane - I'm not a fan of Martin and NEVER have been. I couldn't give a monkees about him. He's moved on from us. He spent a fortune when he was here. His record in England is not great. Sunderland are currently AWFUL. Go on to the Sunderland boards and u will see what they are saying.

    Back to Neil Lennon and our cutrrent results in the SPL

    I don't buy the whole the players are tired so rotate excuse. He maybe should be rotating however if those players today gave 100% they would be beating Inverness easily. Instead they treated it like a * take.

    Nice move, completely avoiding the question. So you didn't celebrate any of his title wins then, or when he guided us to the 2003 UEFA Cup Final?

    Didn't see the game as im at work but i followed the updates through this and bbc. Didin't look too good at all.

    For a start i thought the line up was all wrong, i have no idea why we don't give the likes of McGeough, Ibrahim, Fraser, Chalmers and so on a run out today, especially at home. Every one of them would have been fresh and desperate to make an impact. Surely wouldn't have been as bad as today sounded. He needs to rest players when tired and drop those not making an impact.

    I'm not even going to get into his subs today, don't think i have ever seen any manager make worse use of his bench other than today. Absolute * decision making.

    Even Wally took a team ole cloggers (Old Co) to the final of the UEFA Cup. Not that great of achievement in my eyes.

    Agree to an extent. Players have to share responsibility.

    But if the players fail to give 100% in a single game when they're fresh, sure, that's their fault.

    If they fail to give 100% repeatedly, and always on the comedown after a big Euro game, and the manager doesn't sort it, that's his fault.

    Not a great achievement to take a club to a European final?? Am i reading that right?

    I'm assuming you would have been watching the bill during 2003 then yes?
