    So we'll just all keep quiet and plod along like everything's hunky dory? What happens after Brown and Forrest pick up their 2nd and 3rd clicė injuries just keep quiet again?

    He's had 4 league games won 2 and effectively lost 2. 6 European games. Won 2 drew 1 and lost 3. Not to mention the 8 goals conceded in the later 4.

    Aye, Good shout.

    The performances are worrying no getting away from it.. I noticed today during a break in play he was trying to give instructions to Kayal and to me it looked like Kayal totally blanked him, he just had a drink and then ran back on to the pitch..

    Could be nothing but that coupled with how slow we were out the traps, it seems the dressing room looks fractured..

    Collins doesn't seem to be offering Ronny much support either as if he's waiting for a shot at the big job...

    All very worrying..

    lol man lol, So what is a better shout then, Sack him after hes had 4 league games and hasnt even played anywhere near his strongest 11 yet? How can you possibly want to sack a manager before hes even played his strongest team that in itself is madness and its not like its even one player we're talking 5/6 players here thats a completely different team. Give the guy a chance and stop calling for his head!

    So what you're saying is you're not giving him a chance to play his own team in his own style before judging him?

    Yep. Any half decent manager knows you have to work with what's there in front of you. Why must I be patient when his results haven't merited patience?

    genuinely the biggest managerial howler i have seen here . The mind boggles, i dont know what Ronny thinks might happen with him up top alone . Thing is we play one up top and then still seem to be light in midfield and defence , * me the tactics make it feel like we are playing with nine men .

    I thought Hartley would've been a good replacement to Lennon. He's known nothing but success in a short managerial career, was at Celtic fairly recently (so knows the way it works), knows all the folk here, loves the tic, local bhoy, hates the sevco and most importantly, he knew success (European and domestic) while he was here.

    His appointment wouldn't have been unprecedented, Lennon was inexperienced when he was appointed.

    I like the fact Deila has brought in a focus on fitness and stuff, so I would like the board to implement that from a higher level than the management, regardless of whether Deila is here in a few months or not.

    :smiley-laughing002: That's actually very true. Every player looks stretched.

    I woke up today hoping that i'd be able to see light of more things but I'm just as annoyed as yesterday. This was Dundee we lost to. A team that has just been promoted. A team that Paul Hartley filled with Montrose and Alloa players with the leader of the pack being that half baldy mutant * that couldn't hack it at Kilmarnock... not some world beating team.

    I don't understand his logic though for the majority of his lineups. He will without regard play a right back at left back, Stokes who is essentially a playmaker as a lone striker who has shown time and time again that he can't cut it as a target man, McGregor as a winger, Lustig at centre half and Ambrose at right back...

    His interviews - something I thought he excelled at, are now just as bleak as the performance. I said before how I think, he thinks he has some sort of bedding in, honeymoon period which just doesn't happen at Celtic. Like I said, he doesn't strike me as a winner. He may play good football (eventually) but it's the final score I care about.

    Really wanted Ronny to succeed and still do but as the weeks pass by and we have results like yesterday - no that's wrong, it's the way we played and the way we set up that's really disturbing - am now having doubts.

    When I look at him on the touch line or in interviews, he's like the proverbial rabbit caught in the headlights. In yesterday's interview he came out with things like VVD wants to move, but he's not going and he knows that, so once the window is out of the way we'll get on with the job. Then in next breath it's , we've got International break and most of the guys will be away, which will be good for them to clear their head and then they can come back and we can get down to preparing for Aberdeen. This is all just garbage!

    We have a talented guy who doesn't want to play for us/in SPFL and to think that a few days away is going to change his attitude? Come January it'll be same again. Same goes for the International break. Somehow it's all going to get better after few days away. They've only just come back from weeks away in the Summer, so how is tht going to work?

    There is something brewing at Paradise and it doesn't smell good and to support this, one final question. Now I know he's injured, but apart from a pre-CL sell tickets advert, where's our vocal Captain? There was a time when you couldn't shut him up and now ......nothing but silence. Is he not sold on the 'new way'? If that's the case, not looking good.

    From day one this always looked a huge gamble by the board, the problem with gambling is sometimes you can lose very dramatically.

    Delia has undoubted PA skills and that got him over the early "who the * he?" period but since the games have started it's been painful at times to witness someone so clearly out of his depth and consistent in making dreadful tactical decisions.

    What help is he getting from the likes of Collins and the back room staff, what has their input been on formations, selections etc?

    He's despite what Lawell says been given no money to improve a team that stunk the CL out last season

    No Broony his captain.

    Before we start calling for his head I think we at least need to let him see what he can do when Broony is back and after the new players have settled in.

    Early signs look a car crash but let's see how thing play out in the next few months.

    Ronny needs to give every one of his players a kick up the *. Their attitude is a * disgrace. I want to see him strike fear in his players, because when I watch my team I see a too many arseholes stroll about like they are superstars and get outplayed by a * Dundee. Not good enough.
