    hes not soley the reason for our poor play this season and a 20 minute scott brown coming on late in the game gives you his all and it is his all! like the scott brown of old, although still not as fast, he isnt conserving energy because he has to play 90minutes every few days

    its his exuberance and personality that improved us in that st johnsone game

    Ultimately, being top in October is a lot better than being 2nd in October.

    I agree about Griffiths. I had him in my preferred team if you check this thread.

    Serious question. When should we start to panic?

    I hope so, but based on the way we’ve started the season I’m far from certain.

    Klamala seems to make his own goals or running onto the ball but he was picked today and we didn’t even set up to play to his strengths. * is the use in that?

    Seriously !?

    Would have expected more balance from you. Ultimately it really isn't. The only thing that matters is being top at the end of the season.

    Totally. Klimala deserved to start imo and him and griff would have worked well

    But my main opinion is throughout the squad we are severely lacking the mentality that for us to 8 in a row.
    Cant blame investment. Can question areas of strength for sure but we have invested heavily.
    Blame the manager? Buck stops at him but I do rate lenny as a manager. He started this journey and knew he would be here to finish it.
    But on current standards we will not go the distance.
    It's hard to maintain a certain level and expectation but for me there is something going on behind the scenes.
    Too often this season we have been left wanting performance wise.

    It's all good putting 5 past ross county whilst playing bad but they are poor.
    We need to take a hard look at ourselves and ask why in the last 4 games rangers have not even needed to play great to beat us

    I agree with what your saying,however i think the performance today hurt more than the result.I think most of us accept we wont beat them every game but to play like that today is unacceptable,but im sure you agree with that.

    However I will say this,you say we lost by being hampered from lack of options,from fitness and global situation,well its the same for all teams(hun included)and its no excuse for todays defeat.

    We lost today because we played *,we had no shots on target(first time in 11 years according to sky)and they wanted it more and their defence kept us out.Dont think anybodys pressing the panic button,but we are playing poorly and it needs sorting quickly or we could find ourselves in trouble in out quest for 10.

    I think that 10 is too much for Lennon on a plate, he's * it up for himself right now, just his inexperience the fact as a Celtic manager he's above all of us, he makes the decisions he hides his own going mistakes, he tells us how great that his under performing team is, and point being is that he's not liked in the dressing room just like at Hibs hence the * with the players.

    Well like the two posters who have quoted me beforehand, I will tell you that I haven't denied we were poor today or all season. I don't get why people are losing their * over a game that they were expected to win and we were severely hampered for - on top of the fact that they're playing with confidence and we have been sluggish.

    It's October not May.

    Only positive thing I'm clutching at is we have been here before and then went on a long winning run and upped the displays, let's hope its a rocket up the *.

    Gerrard seems to have Lennon’s number. What makes it even more brutal is the fact that Lennon doesn’t seem to learn from past mistakes. They had a system and it worked to a tee. We had the square root of * all.

    I thought Klimala would have been the last out the 4 strikers to start but to start him up top himself is madness

    Huns in the media desperately keen to make out we didn’t have a shot on target while at the same time praising McGregor for saving that Griffiths shot. :56:

    ‘Misplaced pass’ my backside.

    We can't get away from the reality , yes they wer better and deserved the result , if lenny had a full squad would he have picked the team he did , we lost christie who along with edouard is our main threat , we have forrest out who also gets vital goals , we have jullien out who thrives in these games and causes them bother at set pieces , maybe playing for the (title) again would help the mental aspect the team and management have to deal with .

    The thing that frustrates me is that I totally get we were missing players, but there was no passion and I don’t actually think it looked like there was a game plan. As much As I hate the huns, they have a structure and a team that rarely changes. They all know what’s expected of them. With us, I just don’t see it. I don’t see a plan A or a plan B and unfortunately, having superior players will let us scrape by * teams, but will see us found out against half decent or well organised teams. Major work needed here if we are to get the 10.

    I don’t think it’s a case of people ‘losing their *’ at this game in isolation. It’s more to do with the fact that people including myself were expecting us to at least put up a fight today but we were so abject in our performance yet again only this time we got what we deserved for our efforts i.e. * all.
