    At last MARTIN we agree on something 100% corect.

    Just a shame WGS took to long to put him back in the team.It looks likely hes of to pastures new and I realy dont blame him for looking elsewere.
    Lets just hope WGS has someone up his sleave as a replacement and this time he gets a CB signing right for a change.

    You'd probably find that we agree on quite a lot when it comes to the Ginger Genius - but I have given Keltoi my word that I'll hold my tongue on my favourite topic.

    lads practically every time someone scores someone has to be at fault, the goals mentioned are in the prolly the highest level club championship going. is it really fair to lay blame on one particular guy, i.e caldwell or balde

    If a particular individual(whoever they may be)is consistently making mistakes that lead to goals.We would be pretty stupid to ignore that.You can accept errors,as you're right every player makes mistakes,but weve been watching the same players making the same stupid mistakes for some time now.

    If Bobo goes,it would be criminal not to splash the cash and get some quality.As Ryan posted earlier this is not a new problem,the defence hasnt been right since WGS took over.He has to address this now.

    I dont think Keltoi´s health is in question.

    But I have a sneaking suspicion that WGS will chuck it at the end of this season Win or lose. I hope I am wrong but I think it will be the latter. As only his January signings if they are any good will change our poor results.

    Thats a tricky one!

    What I do know is that WGS does seem to have problem identifying a decent centre half.As i posted previously,this issue should have been adressed a long time ago.Most teams build a solid foundation from the back,he has bought a few in,but Im afraid IMO they are not up to standard.

    He also seems to have a hard time identifying a decent defensive midfielder.

    I think we have got better as a team. The reason the poor form has been injuries. I really hope that the team pushes on this second half of the season and proves me right. Aiden is player of the year in the making, last seasons player of the year is on the road back. JVOH finally looks likes his injury is behind him. Skippy has proved a shrewd buy. Boruc is Boruc. Brown can only improve game by game. Donati, Hartley or Jiri??? Naylor and Hinkle look like they could handle the full back position well. So yeah I think we have improved, just not had the luck when it comes to injuries. When we play we play some fine football, getting the consistency is the key, but that comes with a settled side.

    His signings IMO have been more miss than hit.

    The poor form hasnt been down to injuries the only long term injuries weve had is Naka wilson and doumbe. The problem is in the middle of the park and in defense, There has been no real injuries in these positions and we have looked exposed in almost every game weve played no matter the oposition. These areas most Celtic suporters have known for a long time now have needed sorted. I also think the manager has known it to but he just doesnt bring in the suitable players to fill the voids.He has had a lot of goes in terms of players to get it right and he has failed.Lets just hope his aquisitions in Jan turn out to be inspired as we need to improve and fast.

    I agree we have had some injuries to the defense espacialy RB. But we havent been stretched in these areas at SPL level. But teams seem to by pass our midfield far to easily and this over burdens our CBs who are not realy to be trusted either.
