    I liked his angle on 2 Sessions a day Training , get Fit and work at your skills if you're a Professional ...... I don't believe in 1 session a day in this Modern Era.

    I'm disappointed in Collins as I see no improvement in the Team or the Formations played , and he doesn't look like he's having much input as kennedy seems to do all the talking ..... only our Defence is even worse than it was last season.

    He gets a lot of stick for whatever reason but running to the 4th official at 90 minutes and going daft as only 1 was added on, when we're 5 nil up. I love that attitude..

    He gets stick because people listen to Keith Jackson and other clueless wanks who have created a persona for him.

    He's an assistant manager, can't handle the pressure as a manager and not good enough on the tactic side. He's there for fitness etc and he could well be the reason for Griffiths's resurgence.

    Yes we probably could find a better assistant manager but we could do a lot worse. He has a lot of passion and you can see during warm ups and that he jokes around with the players. Don't know him yet all judging him as a * is quite harsh.

    Proof? Oh the thing at hibs? Your the liability by keeping this bullshit going.

    Honestly, Is this people's opinion of john Collins because of a young hibs team years ago?

    It's * ridiculous and I've seen and heard NOTHING about john Collins in a negative way since he joined....except on Celtic forums.

    Exactly.

    This. He's realistically more of a coach than a manger and a good one, imo. Maybe needs to learn to hold his opinions and stuff to himself a bit more but he's a good coach type to have in the management team. He shares Ronnies desire to play the right way too.

    Brown is running around like he played at Hibs, I put that down to the fitness regime at Celtic contributed to by Collins!

    Have heard from a friend of a friend that he isn't scared to take the * out of himself re his supposed six pack. But at the end of the day he's a perfectionist and I'd rather have him at the club and * off one or two lazy * rather than be everyone's mate. * that, we need to maintain professionalism constantly if we are to compete at our desired levels (yes, yes we are not there yet.)

    Probably was :smiley-laughing002:

    Rogic was poor, mostly when played in the holding role and then he was burnt out when he moved further forward. Armstrong was average, McGregor played not bad, always available for a pass and was moving around into good areas and had a few good runs down the wing.

    Ajax I cant really even mind what their midfield done, had decent possession but didnt look that threatening.

    I'd say he was, if your counting Forrest as a forward..
