    yep, dreading it in all honesty and that's an embarrassment in itself but it's true.

    We actually care too much about precision. Just speed and ferocity will do.

    I would say now is time to focus on our next league game, and use the cup game to try out a few things like...

    Scales at LB
    Or a 3-5 -2
    Holm in midfield with 2 of the other 3.

    We have been * * in our last 3 games and could easily have dropped 9 points.
    We can't go into the Killie game, hoping it i'll be alright. We need to use the cup game to make sure it'll be alright.

    If we don't win the league, nobody's going to, "but we won the cup, so it's all ok"

    So yes I'd like to see us win the cup, but I'm more than happy to risk losing it, if it helps us win the league.

    I reckon he'll change it up (full panic mode) to see if he can find some idea.

    We play better against the better teams it’s seems. St Mirren away, hearts away, lazio home, Madrid home, scum etc so not to worried. They’ll have a go and should be a fairly open game.

    Not gonna happen, but I'd try a 3-4-3 formation. We struggle to create chances. We need to spice things up.

    ..............................Hart..................................
    ........Johnston....Nawrocki........Scales........
    Maeda.......O'Riley......McGregor....Bernabei
    ........Kuhn.............Idah...............Palma.........

    Or something along these lines.

    Aw *, here we go again!

    It's cup. So the victory is all that matters. Hopefully the MF stamp their authority in the game and make it a straightforward win.

    That's what I would call a "hits" formation.
    * re-aranged.
    Need to get Lager back, Holm, also. If Vata is going in the summer, so * what, it isn't summer yet.

    Then there's Frame and Kelly. Change it.

    I’m sure most will be aware but this is an AWAY fixture.

    Despite having been there a month ago and winning convincingly, I geniunely cannot see us winning this.

    Away to St Mirren a team with a fraction of our budget yet I cannot see us getting the win if we go as we have been in terms of team selection.

    It’s mental to think that we have went from looking like we had turned the corner around Christmas and New Year to looking absolutely horrendous now.

    I have to say when half the squad jetted of to Dubai during the winter break either together or on their own why we didn’t do an overseas training camp like we always have was a strange call. The way they have all been playing since coming back it feels like they were all on an extended holiday.

    I know we need to build momentum but would make some changes..

    Hart

    Ralston
    Welsh
    Scales
    Taylor

    McGregor
    Bernardo
    Holm

    Palma in the 10

    Idah
    Kyogo

    Give O'Riley a break. Get Taylor back in. Ralston obviously as Johnston will be out. Holm to get a chance. Would like to see Palma behind that front 2..

    Just * the * horseshoe pass it about the back, play with intensity and get at them. Go direct move the ball fast.

    None of that will happen, we will play the same slow pish we have all season

    With the current back 4 we have it would be a minor miracle to keep a clean sheet in any game. We’re not creating chances at the other end either. Recipe for disaster and when I say disaster I mean handing the Title and £60 million to the huns. * soul destroying watching this unfold in front of your eyes. I’m clinging to the hope CCV, Hatate and Taylor all back from injury will somehow get us over the finishing line.

    St Mirren 0-2 Celtic

    When we’re overly concerned about a certain game we bizarrely seem to actually do quite well in it. Granted last night was a bit of an exception.

    Fancy us to win this, and winning away games is great for momentum at this stage of the season
