    Half time 1-0 is important. I can see another 2 goals for us after the break. Hibs scoring is part of the narrative in this run to 9 in a row. I will always agree to look after our own * first but you can't disregard our closest rivals taking a bad hit. This is what's called a race.

    Well that was another lesson. Thanks to the goal it was a free one. Please Lenny learn from it or it will cost us.

    Since we scored we have went very flat, Nchamp slowing it again, always looking for the perfect pass. Our wing backs are defending more than they should be because our back 3 fecking around. While the 2 up front may suit us going forward it does not work with the 3 we have at the back. Ajer is an accident waiting to happen tonight, I don't think playing in a back 3 suits him, he looks lost as to where he should be at times. Nchamp off for Christie, move Cal Mac to the middle and Christie wide in front of Taylor. With the Huns trailing we have a great opportunity here, don't * it up Celtic . COYBIG

    Ajer playing with his strong foot infield is a disaster. Jozo is a disaster waiting to happen. Griff offering nothing. The system isnt for us. 433 ffs

    Taylor, McGregor, Griffiths and especially Forrest offering too little. We are too passive and weak. No tempo or passing to speak of. The only time we look remotely dangerous is with Ntcham and Edouard.

    Far too many basic mistakes and simple passes going astray. Klimala for Griffiths & Christie for Forrest (he'll be out of position but at least he will * try and get the ball).

    We desperately needed another winger at the end of that window. Forrest has zero competition now and will coast about for the rest of the season shirking out of any attempt at a tackle.

    Surely that has to be the number one priority. That followed up by keeping Edouard.

    Forrest is never a wing back either he can't play well in a 352

    Taylor has bern great defensively but has offered the square root of sweet * all going forward.

    Be interesting to see if they come out with 3 upfront again, if so I’d be more comfortable goin to a 4 at the back as we look vulnerable every time they come forward.

    I'm still not a fan of 3-5-2.

    We play some great stuff going forward, but our glaring weaknesses are at the back, in particular Ajer and Jozo, so forcing both of them in to a side makes no sense.

    Forrest should be on the ball in our own half for as little time as possible, he just doesn't have the brain to play out from near the back. Plays balls that would be okay in the oppositions half but risky as * in our own.

    We do need a more defensive player. Is Biton on the bench?

    We’ve been *, Motherwell had the more clear cut chances.

    Ajer has been ridiculously bad.

    been quite similar to the first half hour of the Hamilton game.

    Taylor is offering nothing going forward, if we have a 352, we need to use that to our advantage attacking, instead they're benefitting instead even though we should have the better players.
