    Worrying when (according to Scales post match) at HT he wanted the team to be calmer and treat it like any other match.

    Calm, seriously? - any calmer and we'd be feckin sleeping.

    Yeah can't argue with any of that. We have massively under performed and BR rightly deserves criticism, however as long as he is going into battle with damp powder he rightly or wrongly will escape most of the recriminations. Regardless I don't see him continuing past this season and 50/50 to actually make it that far.

    Such a big frustration and sums up where we are at the moment. Top class clubs realise set pieces are the key to unlock stubborn or well drilled defences, and that way of gaining the extra 1% over your opponents with an unpredictable, orchestrated play.

    Meanwhile, we lump the ball into a box like it's 2002, but with no * who can win an aerial duel.

    As dull as its been there's no doubt in my mind if we can somehow get some faces in next 24hrs things will improve.

    Ironically, from a defensive perspective I'm as confident as I have been for a while.

    Should've let a couple of fans for the HT team talk. Would've injected some needed enthusiasm in to our performance.

    Forrest absolutely pumped up West Ham today. Hopefully they sack Nuno and go all out to get a Rodgers.

    It's the only way I see this season turning out well

    If they sack Nuno they'll go for Ange.

    Hasn’t beaten the Huns in the last 5 attempts. That’s a damning statistic.

    So do i, even though i would be glad if he stayed under the right circumstances.

    A good appointment could spark us to life. Could go to * as well obviously.

    Always plays the same * formations and tactics against a team that every other team in this league will beat at least once this season HH

    He talked again about us moving the ball too slowly. Does it after nearly every match. You’re the coach, change it!

    No wins in 5 against a consecutive messes of sevco teams.

    No wins against 3 consecutive Sevco managers, every one of them an absolute joke in terms of proficiency.

    No lessons learned. Zero. None.

    Hes getting away with it because of how poor theyve been elsewhere in the league and deemed not a threat to the title.

    Any Celtic manager with that record in the past wouldnt be the Celtic manager any longer. Only Liam Brady has a worse record ffs.

    A * monkey with a typewriter and sign language translator couldve set a team up to beat that mob today.

    He's completely lost any aura he had going into these games now.

    No matter their form, I fully expect us to lose whenever we face them now.

    He almost sets up exactly how the huns want us to, Clement figured him out last year and so did Ferguson. Worryingly, it looks like Martin has too.

    It feels like we will plod on to season end and he moves on.

    I am confident we will win the league, probably win a cup as well. So you are right that its not the end of the world. But in the last few weeks Ive watched the two dullest euro ties I can remember followed by the dullest derby I can remember. 5th derby game in a row we cant beat near all-time-bad Ranger side.

    Rodgers just sounds flat. The team feels flat. There is no spark or flair or positivity or even aggression. No bite in the team. From top to bottom we are a club going through the motions. Rodgers promised to be here for 3 years but if he hadnt made such a big thing about it he would already be gone I suspect.

    Think he’s fed up. Now with no CL and leaving at the end of season he’s probably not got much go about him to change much especially that’s he’s not got any backing in the window. He’ll just potter though the season and hopefully we can win the league but I’m not as confident as I was last week. We look like we’ll drop plenty of points.

    Yeah i think with him wanting to honour the 3 seasons commitment it's kinda backfired tbh, he looks and sounds jaded with it all, don't like the narrative at the start of a season that it will be the managers last.

    The team has been crying out for new quality players to give us that spark, just all seem a bit flat for now, see what happens in the next 24 hours, all being well this can still be a really good season for us, no need to hit the panic button.

    Would make sense with the Greek links but stories last week was Rodgers is his 1st choice. Could of just been paper talk tho
