Neil Lennon

There's a few worrying signs still.

We just look so flat and void of any real energy and I don't see that the winter break or the work he is doing with the team is looking likely to get us back to the form we showed at the start of the season.

The fact he's persisting with forcing Ntcham, McGregor and Brown in to the same team when every single one of us knows that doesn't work and that's something which was obvious during Rodgers time here. It didn't work then, it's not going to work now.

I know we have a lot of injuries, but that in itself is a concern. I just don't know another club like ours where we're constantly having to piece together make shift sides because of injuries all over the park. Are they being massively over worked in training, not enough recovery, are the medical team needing sacked?

Given that we are picking up so many injuries to key players, why is Lennon not changing things much earlier when games are done? We can be 5-0 up and he won't make a sub until the 80th minute.

This transfer window isn't looking great either in all honesty and I know that's not only Lennon's doing and there is still a bit of time, but we really needed some fresh faces in that squad when we got back from Dubai at the latest and it hasn't happened. There's a lot of work to do on this squad, even the first XI is missing a quality centre back, but outwith about 15 there's a lot of dross around and Forrest needs someone pushing him on as he's a waste of a jersey at times just now.

A couple of decent additions, whether permanent or loans could breath new life in to the squad and give everyone a boost so the last few days of this transfer window are going to be massively important.

 

Did be say we're looking to get 1 more in?

That is nowhere near enough. Especially when he's been banging on about experienced players to help the kid's. We've signed a couple of 21 year old's..

 

After watching Jozo today we need a CB imo, the fact we gave Bitton and his dodgy hamstrings a new deal does my box in.

 

We need a CB and another Winger in imo, neither should be a project either.

 

Think he meant 1 more winger.

would be surprised and very disappointed if we close window without another CB

 

It'll be a * disgrace if we close the window with 1 more signing..

Our squad isn't that bad when we have a full quota but we have far too many injuries to key player's/positions. It needs addressing right now..

Left sided centre half and a winger/attacking mid are the bare minimum over the next week..

 

Guys, did you notice at the end of the match...Lennon is shaking hands with Celtic bench
Greg Taylor just stormed past him without shaking his hand ( something not right ) for sure!

 

Aye 100% something ain’t right never seen that but guy is probably sitting there thinking am a Scottish international in the spfl team of the season and a £2m player and you are playing a * left winger at left back who looked totally out his depth and inept today, caught out by Ross * county! I would give lennon the death stare aswell, I like Neil a lot, have spent time in his company as player and manager at a few hail hail nights but this is starting to go like his first time here stubborn as *, has his favourites and shoehorning his faves into the team!

failure for Neil isn’t an option this season!

 

He's only a 2 million pound player because we paid that for him..

We got mugged by the looks of it..

 

Was Lennon that signed him. Why, if he doesn't rate him ?

 

If Lenny signed him then he wouldn't keep playing Hayes or Boli infront of him..

It's likely he doesn't get full say on all of our transfers..

If he does then he's had a shocker here with the fee we've paid in my opinion..

 

Might have seen his king billy tattoo

 

Said it at the time McGuire we had all summer and we went down the M77

 

This.

It was said after the game against the huns, and it's true. We have better players on paper, for the most part, but they are a far more cohesive unit which bridges the ability gap.

Like you said, we are reliant on a moment of magic from an Eddy, Christie, Elyounoussi etc. There's not an immediately identifiable style of play. Which is massively worrying.

 

Totally agree with the above post, no cohesion or sign of progress in the style of football.

I’m finding his decisions increasingly baffling and frustrating as the season progresses.

The lack of squad rotation is criminal, CM is by far the most tiring position on the park and Brown and McGregor play almost every game without fail regardless of form. It’s a miracle that neither of them are injured.

We are incredibly dull to watch given the quality of our players when compared to domestic opposition - there is no fluency or creativity, it’s very regimented, boring and predictable.

The formations seem to be random and not an adaptation of how the game is unfolding. The lack of appropriate subs when the games screaming for a change - then when it’s too late, it’s usually some mental sub like Bitton against the huns when we were needing more creativity behind the strikers or some equally inexplicable change in personnel.

Apart from the Europan League, this season has been pretty woeful to watch. Aye, we’re getting results but this ‘ we were fantastic, excellent’ pish isn’t insightful or representative of how the games have gone. We’re not idiots, is someone is playing pish stop telling everyone they’re outstanding to justify the decision to play them.

Apart fae that, he’s fine.

 

The midfield needs looked at pronto.

Zero creativity.

Zero structure.

Brown doesn’t need to play every game. He actually slows us down at times and doesn’t having the passing ability to split defences.

 

We have scored 6 in two games, with key playera missing. People are going bonkers.

The style will return when Elyounossi and Christie returns. People are looking for reasons to complain.

Only complaint I have just now is the same as Lenny, be more clinical.

 

* the style mate. At this point it's points that are more important.

Griff is hungry and Eddy is pivotal as *.

Don't think we've played that well so far with two up top but * me we'll win games with Eddy AND Griff up front - also would give the Polish lad a better chance at getting some game time off the bench.

 

The important point is we can dish out pumpings with or without style and they'll be fit soon

 

The style is what gets us points. Grinding out results by playing * will only take us so far. We are going to run that well dry if there is no injection to our game soon.
