    Ntcham was making the most of his starts, but then he was dropped last Sunday and again on Thursday. Then he gets brought in today and folk wonder why he is inconsistent. He can't get a run of games in the starting lineup, even when playing well. I was all for dropping Brown a few weeks ago but last Sunday and Thursday have been his best two performances of the season, then he gets rested today when we have an Interbatiinal break coming up when he will get a rest anyway. Just doesn't make sense. We are going into the game in two weeks time and we don't have a clue what our best formation or starting eleven is.

    You finally got your wish today and it didn't pan out so you've moved onto something else to be critical about.

    Honestly the irony in you calling anybody a crybaby...

    No matter how well we do, some people will just keep adding epicycles to explain it away.
    Great examples in the Broony thread today.
    It's what's made this place so frustrating lately.

    Was ready to call for his sacking the day but luckily those late goals mean his place in Celtic's history is restored and I'll happily contribute towards his statue on the Celtic Way.

    Credit where is due, he finally realized the line up was stale, and made the right substitutions at a decent time, something we have been complaining a lot. The team is still disorganized but I was afraid he wasn't even noticing something was wrong.

    He made the right subs at the correct times.

    But our system and tactics are a concern and have been since the start of the season. Better sides or even those who are a bit braver will take advantage.

    For me it's a concern that we are going into the game in 2 weeks without a settled XI either. It's important we leave the team to settle now.

    Takes the plaudits for the subs today, they won the game.

    The lack of urgency in the first half wasn’t down to him, the players were one paced.

    That's true. Gave him stick the past few weeks, and there's things I think he needs to work on but today he got it right on all counts. Right subs at right time. St Johnstone had a clear plan (A dull and blunt one) and they stuck to it without troubling, bar a very dozy moment in defence start of the second half from us, we were untroubled.

    Also, probably a little fatigue from Thursday also wouldn't have helped. We March on.

    He needs to play two up top from the start.
