Far better side first half. That was self inflicted and intentional

You should read what you type. That looks like you meant his intent was to lose.

 

[Smurph]

And he hasn't been offered up one single opportunity on goal.

Embarrassing to write a player off based on the minutes he's had on the pitch.

 

[ABSwan]

Just answered it yourself AB.

He waited too long to make the subs and then got it wrong with the personal when he did it.

We needed someone to take a grip in midfield, didn't see anyone on the bench to do that, those players were on the field and tiring. Difficult no matter what.

 

[Frankie Burrows Cap]

Needed the fresh legs sooner galbraith and Franco looked knacked after an hour

Don’t disagree with this but as a manager sometimes you can’t win. Too many subs and too early last weekend & not enough and too late today.

We do need to do better on and off the pitch if we want to challenge for top 6 though.

Maybe ‘we’ got carried away over the summer (based on previous years) as the reality probably is we’re an 8th-14th placed team/squad. Personally I’m pretty happy with that as long as there’s some entertainment and attacking/positive football along the way.

Seems to be the same culprits too, Vipotnik anyone...

 

[Smurph]

yes a long long way to go but its games like today that could make the difference where a point would have been good but we have zero

If this had been happening constantly through out the season, then yes it would be a concern.

Wednesday we were on cloud nine singing the praises of the manager and this team. Today we lose out in a fairly even contest against a team with a good record at home.

On another occasion we would have won this game if things had gone our way. Today we didn't, we move on and get ready for Millwall.

Looked mikes of it

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.

 

[Smurph]

Seems to be the same culprits too, Vipotnik anyone...

Absolutely.

It's like we've forgotten how to support the team upon times.

I have to say, I never wrote off Vipotnik.....I have always said I could see a player in him.

I'm not seeing anything in Idah. I do believe also it is down to how we play and I don't see either changing unfortunately.

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.

Loads on here said the same about Vip.

I said at the time we'd payed too much, but I'm not writing him off just yet.
Also, if your mate reckons Idah is the worst player he's ever seen in a Celtic shirt he's talking utter pish ...

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

 

[J_B]

Little unfair on Idah. We've all seen what a run of game does for a striker.

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

He might come good but it's a worry how poor he looks at present.
His hold up play is terrible, touch is poor and he looks like he is carrying a bit of weight.
