My mate said make sure he signs the contract because he’ll probably sign the table.

 

[Smurph]

Yes, he's coming on when we're showing no attacking intentions.

Yep exactly. When a striker normally comes on it's because we're struggling to score.

 

[Ringwood]

We need to braver on the rotation and subs.. Key, Franco, Burgess, Galbraith all playing 3 games in a week is questionable. We bench Yalcouye who is the fittest of everybody. When we can use 6 subs we don't use Widdel or Benson and content to sit deep in panic mode.

Not sure why Eom and Idah came on, we looked noticeably weaker and less of a threat although our midfield was out on its feet second half.

 

[ABSwan]

Loads on here said the same about Vip.

Not sure what he was supposed to do today, on for 15 minutes and the ball was in our box for most of that.

 

[eteb]

Very laboured in his approach and even coming on fresh he seemed to late to every loose ball.
We have got this one wrong, I don't see him suiting our system and style at all.

Felt sorry for the players today. They stayed in the battle, should have been 2-0 up early doors and got done by a linesman's call 1st half.

This is what really pisses me off. We're clearly a very good side when we attack teams and should've been 2-0 half time. Sheehan has a nasty habit of shutting up shop early. He rightfully receives the plaudits on Wednesday and should rightly receive the criticism today. That second half was cowardly

 

[Cooperman]

To sum things up:
Too late with some of the subs. For all of his heroics, Galbraith was tired and Yalcouyé could have come on twenty minutes earlier. Don’t bash Idah, it’s clear that he can score goals, and he will in the same way Vip has done, when given service. Our creativity to provide this service continues to be our Achilles heel. It’s Sheehan’s job to develop the fix for this. The right back spot, whilst being far from a disaster, is the next area to upgrade. Overall, the trajectory is upwards. That’s me done, we’re off out for a drink.

 

[Smurph]

I’m not going to argue I’m just saying

Not arguing with you, just highlighting people have been know to chat shit (me included).

 

[Rhydian]

Ridiculous to criticise Idah at this stage. What is he supposed to do with no service, brought on for 20 minutes when we’re completely out of the game.

None of that was on him.

 

[Smurph]

Not sure what he was supposed to do today, on for 15 minutes and the ball was in our box for most of that.

Score six, according to some.

Idah is going to be a poor signing
Im happy to put my head on the block for this one, it's clear as day for me.

Benson tore zinchenko to shreds Wednesday and didn't come in for a very poor Ronald today? What on earth is that about?

Franco has been poor this season but stays on and yalcouye hets 5 minutes after being excellent on Wednesday too?

I’m agreeing with you mushroom head.

My mate who is a Celtic season ticket holder reckons Idah is the worst player he’s ever seen in green and white.
I said this a couple of weeks ago in the thread when we signed him.
My mate said make sure he signs the contract because he’ll probably sign the table.

Interesting.
A player who scored 20+ goals in a season is the worst player he's ever seen for Celtic.
It's a surprise that Celtic haven't won the Champions league in that case.
Or maybe your mate is blind.

Smurph mate, I usually see eye to eye with you on everything but that second half was atrocious and self inflicted. These owners are not here for mid table
