Does anyone still think that we shouldn't be worrying?

worried about them …. gies a break !!

 

Cmon now look at urself lol we were * and they played their best

 

If I have any concerns, it’s our yo-yo form and the managers repeated selection of players not up to the task and somewhat baffling team selections and tactics.

This season has been a major head scratcher. So much off the field nonsense that has been frankly rediculous coming off the back of the success of last season and the jubilant scenes with the open top bus.

All that * aside it looked like we had moved on. Recently we turned in some truly magnificent performances, some of the best football I’ve seen in a long time. Add to that the continued development Calmac and not to mention the sudden impact of Christie - things certainly were looking up.

Then we come up against that mob, our gaffer puts out mental line-up that included two midfielders that clearly don’t work. So much so these two have been involved in the majority of our negative results this season, yet at the midway point, Brendan thinks it smart to put these two together again, away from home AND move our current best player to left back.

Do I think we’ll lose the league if this trend continues, no! However, it’s playing with fire with only 3 points in it at the half way point given our game in hand.

If we don’t improve the squad this window and they do, we are again quite frankly inviting them to take the title.

Our signings recently have left a lot to be desired so this window does not give me confidence we’ll improve much if at all.

* the SFA anaw, just coz

 

Rangers have only won more than 2 games in a row once this season, they haven't been relentlessly grinding out wins since Walter Smith's second run. A 36 year old Jermaine Defoe won't change that.

 

I don't think he will either; but if they get him and Davies and maybe a couple of others... who knows?

I'd rather we up our own game, so that we don't have to worry about them. If we recapture the standards of Brendan's first season, we'll leave everyone in our dust.

 

This is the reason I voted no.

If we do lose it this season or even lose the 10 then i want everyone on the board and Brendan gone.
For the record I think we will stroll the ten.

 

The problem there is that neither are we. Unless we are on top form we drop points. How many games this season have we played badly and won, particularly away from home? A 36 year old Jermaine Defoe might turn some of their draws into wins.

 

We need a strong window and we have to take the full points of them coz there will be games we drop points against others. It's unnecessarily close and I'm not liking it one bit.

 

Posting this for later. What a bunch of gobshites make up the numbers on here....

No surprise a few of the usual suspects voting yes.

 

You would have fared better trying to reply to the post I replied to you with instead of trying to be smart, although tbf, there wasn't much you could say.
Anyway obviously your new year's resolution didn't last long I see

Well that can only happen if the manager says he wants rid of a player.. has he said he wants rid of any ? (remembering much of the squad fillers he bought himself) or if a player wants to leave and as far as I'm aware we have loaned/got shot of what we could with hopefully more to follow. Of course the problem you face is getting said player to move, when they are probably going to be taking a pay cut as the new club won't match the wages they are currently on. What would you suggest then ? Contact agents, I think its safe to say we do that.
Obviously Pete would have little difficulty in selling the decent players, although somehow I think that wouldn't be overly popular. The dross we have accumulated is rather more difficult to sell for the above and because the player may not even want to move which would make selling them difficult.

If only it was as easy as some seem to think.

 

I voted no, but after I voted I also had a look at that and felt less sure. If serious and thoughtful posters like Devlin, Jeannie, Vert and a few others think we're in danger of losing the league, I feel less sure of myself.

 

Aye but Dubliner1's in there so we're all good..

 

I don't know who that is.

 

Count yourself lucky..

A serial pessimist..

 

Ah, got you.
I think the name is ringing a bell now.

 

Lets be honest here, if we win that game at brox were on easy street as wed have been 6 points clear with a game in hand. The performance last saturday was abysmal but are we really surprised rangers looked the hungrier? They NEEDED to win that game and played like it too.

We have yet to really get going this season, partly due to a poor summer window but also because weve had a horrible run if injuries. Im confident well kick on after the winter break, hopefully with a few new faces onboard too. The result last week will have hurt the players and i fully expect to see a different celtic in 2019.

The only team who can stop us winning the league is us imho.

 

Voted yes and there are a few reasons , 1 there is always a danger and to discount that is being arrogant ,something the team are being accused of , 2 this is reminding me of how McLeish hung in there to take the title when they should never have , it has that closeness about it , the hysteria is stemming from the fact it has been a cake walk for a while now and they were always gonna improve eventually.

 

The arrogance of 'we'll still walk it' and 'its them, they're *' is hun patter. We are still very well in the drivers seat but if they make some good signings and we sit on our thumbs as usual, anything could happen. Killie were sitting top ffs
