    I believe he's still the man for the job. So, yes. He can turn this around. I remain confident we'll win the league.

    I think he can. The key will be in getting an established and settled back 4 I think and having Kayal and Ledley both fit and on the field.

    The next 6 weeks are critical and I think a defeat in League Cup qf to Hibs ( better than the team we faced on opening day) will be last straw for board as i don't see league deficit being reduced or Europa League hopes boosted.

    He has to get basics right.

    Keep Loovens & Sammy out of starting line up.

    Start Hooper & Stokes at all times when both are fit.

    Good luck to him as I want him to succeed

    Lets hope so... I can see us winning the next after the've had their arses kicked, but, sadly we will fall back into the no heart performances.

    Not without money he can't. I honestly believe that. This team is a few million quid away from being competent in the SPL.

    The cracks which were showing last season are getting wider and wider each game, so no for me.

    This, I don't get. Celtic need to spend a few million to win the SPL when the majority of teams they are playing haven't spent that in the last 5 seasons?

    I think so. Now that Kayal and Ledley are fit again, I think our midfield on Sunday will be the same as against Motherwell. Hopefully with Stokes and Hooper up front again, we'll get a good result to get us back on track. Stick with that team and maintain a run and we'll be right back in it. The huns have had the easier games so far as well, so hopefully they'll drop some points before we play them. Remember, even if they don't a win at CP on the 28th would put us just 4 points behind if we both win our games til then. 4 points is a tiny gap with a full half season and 2 OF games remaining.

    We don't need to beat the others, we need to beat Rangers. They bought a 5mil striker last year, they won the league.

    Jelavic was out for 4 months in total. He was fit for the run in. He scored 16 goals.

    Unsure but hoping he can do it. A few good performances will get us on or way and rankers are just scrapping there wins just now so fingers closed.

    we need to get behind him he has put up with a lot in his life in the past year, he brought some bite back to the club that mowbray lacked, granted we have lost our bite at the moment but i think he can turn it around, he brought us back to life i don t believe he will give in without a fight let us do the same, passion does nt die it just gets misplaced N.L.Y.N.W.A

    This is exactly what I think, but with help from the board. Lennon is no mug. He knows how to play when he has the talent at his disposal. He need's a bit of cashfor some quality to back up his big ideas. He had the Shame by the balls last year. Everyone was fit and on fire.

    He could never have forseen some of his biggest players being injured or, worsely, dropping form.

    You'll find that the Rangers games are worth 12 points in total. Celtic have so far lost to St. Johnstone and Hearts this season, costing them 6 points. Last season it was a loss to Caley and draws against Caley, Dundee Utd and Killie which cost 9 points. If you cannot beat those teams then you don't deserve the league and if you cannot beat them with a budget many times more than them, you need to get someone in who can. Money is an excuse when playing against a big team in Europe but when two of your midfield are on about as much as the other team, you cannot complain about money.

    I think it can be done but we need to win all of the games against the huns and make them have a crisis for a change.

    Aye, and a guess Manchester United don't deserve the EPL title by getting beat off of Wolves, drawing with Birmingham or West Brom etc. Also Ferguson should get the sack by not beating those teams as he has a budget many times more than them. Major clubs are going to lose to smaller teams during a season, due to many different factors, injuries etc.

    Can Lennon turn it round? It's all ifs and buts there is no way of predicting how a league is going to pan out, * happens during a campaign. Best we can do is win all of our games by big goal margins till next derby match. Pump them and swing the momentum round, for going into deep silly season (winter) where anything can happen. Can't just roll over and die ffs, this is Celtic fc, we tough it out on the park and in the terraces until the bitter end.

    was it not lennon's big idea, to get Freddy in, juarez, Murphy, now you are making out he was in the penny tray, the thing is, can he now be trusted with money to buy, i dont think he can, and i also think they do not practice anything
    at Lennoxtown.indoor or out.

    Yes, I think he can.

    This is his first real spell under pressure, it was always going to happen sooner or later; how he responds to it will define his career as our manager.

    But i fully believe he can turn it around.
