Neil Lennon

Probably true, but for all the wrong reasons.

 

I've thought about that myself.

A strong manager doesn't accept that sort of interference though, as ultimately they carry the can when on the park performances and resulrs go wrong.

 

This is why a Rodgers type appointment won't happen as long as Lawwell and Desmond are at the club.

 

Didn't Lawwell and Desmond appoint Rodgers?

 

Aside from being forced into changes because of injuries, I don't see how he can change the team going into the Kilmarnock game, would make no sense, particularly in the middle though. If he messes about with that again I think it will really * people off. The players have shown they can perform fine, and provide more of exactly what's been required all * season. Like a broken record but it's been blatantly obvious.

 

The performance against Lille was a massive difference from what we have seen since the slump started, players fighting for balls digging deep, going forward I noticed we were also more aggressive holding off opposition players and not losing the ball as much, hopefully team carries this new found attitude into the rest of the season soro Turnbull breath of fresh air.

Should have put "again" in my post you quoted. Apologies.

 

Fluked a result, don't talk * we were in their faces from the get go, even when we went ahead for the 3rd time he brought on subs etc and had the team run down the clock to win the game something we have not been doing for a while, fluke my * we had a winning mentality yesterday something we have not had for a wee while.

I wouldn't say we fluked the result. It was disappointing to lose a goal so soon after going up, and I just wasn't really surprised. But credit to the players they showed character and played well against a very good side. Will wait and see how we do against a team that sits back, but I think with that midfield pulling the strings we're so much more lively and able to open them up. I said I wouldn't want much change but thinking about it, I'd probably want 2 strikers as well, as I do every domestic game. Ideally our game would have been the early game in Sunday, pump Kilmarnock and try and put some kind of pressure on the huns later.

Maybe wise to not get ahead of ourselves though. I think it's probable we're rebuilding for next year if I'm honest. Have turned these corners before with games against Hibs, Aberdeen, last game with Lille, part of Milan game.

 

He fluked it because he picked a team he wouldn't have picked otherwise. If it was a meaningful game that lineup would have been totally different. I never said WE fluked a result

 

Regardless of he or we, the team he picked won, his tactics won it, he showed too much loyality to players because of their price tags, hopefully this is the turn around that we have been dreaming of, still think we will miss out on the league by a small margin.

Regardless if it was a fluke or not the defending from set pieces is pub fitbaw stuff. Its embarrassing

 

If only all our games would be meaningless, we might win the league with Lennon.

 

I'm not sure if it was his tactics. Why should he come up with proper tactics after not doing so for 3 months? And if he did you should ask him why he needed 3 months to get it right. Doesn't sound like a very good manager tbh.

Think we did better with pressing and game control because we had a midfield with players that can run, tackle and introduce an attack. Also McGregor didn't have to protect Soro. Our midfield didn't slowed down the game like it did for 3 months. I think the players made the difference, not the manager. The manager should be asl why he didn't play those players. Even the supporters called for them to get a chance for months. How can the fans see more than the manager.

Hope we can move forward from here but Lennon isn't a long term solution. He makes too many mistakes and repeats them on a yearly basis. Comes next season, he will again play players out of position.

 

I agree with that point but the first was an error due to McGregor, we shipped one goal through a set piece.

And have every single game since st Johnstone

 

I think giving someone the assistant managers job just because they have done their badges and have been here for a while isn't that great of an idea. That's how u end up with a john kennedy situation.

 

Hopefully just choosing his words for man management reasons, I hope those aren't this hear thoughts. Not going to lie, it worries me a bit.

Same team for Sunday, please.

 

He MUST play that team again man.

Turnbull and Soro were outstanding.

See to actually see players with energy and fight and be so positive with and without the ball!? * breath of fresh air.

Nice to actually see a celtic player whip a corner in with pace and purpose. * sick of Ryan Christie's * soft corners that don't beat the first man.

The core of players has been * letting him down week in week out, those guys last night showed more fight, hunger and determination than the usual suspects.

Those players are a huge part of why he is edging closer and closer to losing his job, so he has to * pick guys that will play and fight for him and the club.

If I don't see turnbull and soro in there on Sunday I will be * raging.

I've been quite passive and calm, after weeks of ranting and raving I've basically accepted that we're losing the league and we're *.

But I backed Neil Lennon last night before the game with his formation and personell.

If he goes back to brown, Christie, elhamed, edouard, Barkas on sunday I'll lose the * plot.
