    Horrible today, we made enough chances to win but the build up and general play was all very turgid and flat. Can't go on like this, need something to change.

    More chance your dog winning at crufts than getting a draw at the bigotdome next week and it's a depressing thought the confidence among the fans is draining away after each game .

    *. First half we were decent but second half was brutal. Even with the lengthy injury time it didn’t matter you knew by 80 mins we weren’t scoring.

    Forrest for Yang was genuinely mental. Forrest hadn’t been in the team for 4 years now and all of a sudden he’s back in the fold.

    Maeda, Turnbull and Scales should not be near next week.

    Just so so bad in every department again. Eye bleeding stuff. There is no confidence in that team just now and we'll get scudded at Ibrox next week. They need a rocket up their * and reminded this is Celtic they're playing for.

    We were hoping some players would flourish under Rodgers, many appear to have regressed including Callum McGregor. Abada was being touted as being a key player for us this season, if you’re relying on a player who turns in one good performance in ten then you are in big trouble. We need players who are consistently good, at the moment apart from Kyogo we have none.

    Boys professionalism must be questioned he’s a worse player than he was at Motherwell and can’t say he’s not been given the platform and opportunity to progress get him the * out the club

    Don’t know where to start. Everyone showed up hoping for a positive performance and result. To walk away with a 0-0 against relegation favourites says it all really - BR has inherited a juggernaut and he’s crashed it almost immediately with his stinking style of play.

    Fair enough if it wasn’t for O’Reillys poor finishing, we should have been 2-0 up at HT but we weren’t and the 2nd half was just unacceptable.

    McGregor is absolute * btw. He is going to get torn a new * next week. Miles off it.

    Scales and Taylor - negligence that we are 7 days away from a window closing and they are lining up at the back for us. Same goes for likes of Forrest and Haska being our options off the bench.

    I don't have coaching badges. Or rather, I don't have the practical experience needed to pass the level. But pure logic tells me that BR broke what wasn't meant to be fixed. Our problems certainly weren't domestic, under Ange. Now, we have a mess against teams we should be beating. Yes, Hatate's injured. And Oh. But why did the whole team sink?

    Did some of them oppose Rodgers coming back, and he was foisted onto them?

    In any case, I hope Gavin has a copy of Ange's instructions on his laptop. Get someone to KO Rodgers and reintroduce the old system before we find ourselves in a position akin to Lennon's last season.

    Another issue is see when Kyogo did this Turnbull in particular and quite a few times
    O’Riley too didn’t make those runs.

    I think the biggest issue we have is switching from a system driven coach to one who relies on players having a degree of autonomy to work things out for themselves.

    Basically our squad are used to being drilled into exactly what they should do whenever they are in certain scenarios, positions they should take up, runs to make, passes to play. Now they have some ideas but are being asked to make decisions based on their own game intelligence and it is shown up as lacking for quite a few of them.

    If the system is successful which it was then you get a manager in that plays the same way and that's not Rogers and again the board have * up not just with the manager but so far with recruitment.

    The problem the club has now is it's panic buy time.
    The board have yet again * around ....I think that nutcase is right regarding the court case...they're * it .
