ICT vs Celtic Sat 23rd Aug 12.30 BT Sport 2

Good point, always been a tough place to get a result for us and to be fair we made ten changes. caley yet to concede a goal and how many times have the celtic front 5 / 6 played in a competitive game together. Ronny only learning the league also. fair play to him for having the guts to blood so many youngsters. main positives is henderson for me, could be a real gem with time....alot said of pukki and twardzik and mcgeough, ronny needs to see these players in games like this and I would rather it be caley away than at home in parkhead against any other spl opposition or champions league.

 

Resting players in augast that team that will go out and try and give us something to look forward on tuesday need games they need as much time to gel into the team ronnie needs them to. It is augast the players will not get injured. They are professional footballers they are able to play 2 games in 4 days bit because of the * ronnie is used to managing he would not know.

 

Surely the fact we've only played 3 games makes the league table LESS embarrassing than it would be in say...December?

 

Keeper came out like a big Jessie.

 

This might affect the game for next week, low morale. I don't mind losing provided it's against a quality team, ICT are not a quality team. We should be beating teams like these.

 

Yes we lost to a better drilled side than ours they deserved there win. But Celtics "mainstays" have gota take a hard look at themselves tbh..

Kris commons is past his best for me he just doesnt suit this team anymore, His awarenss, descision making and passing at times is * utter horrible

To much deadwood added over the seasons, Mulgrew needs punted as does commons and a host of the youth team players.

roll on tuesday and im sure everything will be forgotten and the imposters will still be here..

 

Can understand people being rested I was hoping for a better performance from the guys on the fringes tho hoped they would go out and make a statement but it was a pretty poor match bring on the Maribor !

Big Sutton doesn't mince his words hard to disagree with any of it

 

Does he not attend training matches? Why does it look like he's gambling all the time in his team selection?

Twardzik today is a classic example of just nonsensical 'experimentation'.

You know I'm not a negative type Dev but honestly I think people give Deila far too credit at times given the consistently puzzling things we've seen so far under him.

That's not rushing to judgement either, it's just saying what the *'s going on.

 

I think it certainly shows some of the weak links in the reserves. Ambrose, Biton, Commons, Pukki, Henderson are probably the ones I'd keep. Just a bad game for them. I wouldn't jump on O'Connell just yet, still very young and we have seen him play well previously. Looking forward to Tuesday, best players at 100%.

 

How is our second string losing a game going to affect the morale of our first team?

This sense of entitlement really rips my knitting.

We lost a game away from home at a ground we always have bother at.

 

exactly

today we seen for the umpteenth time pukki getting chances and taking a touch or taking far too long to make up his mind what he was going to do
i am resigned to him not making it here, it's not rocket science you don't get time in scotland youve got to hit lots of chances first time

and griffiths was hopeless on the right side of the 3 upfront as he has been all season

shows us what the problem is alarmingly well goal scoring centre forward

has we taken our chances in the first half when we played alright considering all the changes to the 1st team we would probably have won this easily

but i'll take the loss, as the game in the middle of the week is thee IMPORTANT game

not panicked at all :smiley-laughing002:

 

So when we draw at Dundee will it be the players are tired ?

 

Don't think I expected anything different today. Make lots of changes and the team looks disjointed - it's what happens. Ronny prioritised the Maribor game and I can't blame him for that.

 

This.

 

Twardzik played at left-back under Lennon.

 

At least Delia has the * balls to put out a team like that. Last season it would of been the same 11 that started Wednesday.

 

When we draw at Dundee? :smiley-laughing002:

 

* off you.
