I think anyone looking to sack our manager right now needs to give their head a wobble. I actually think most folk who post on things like X and FB it’s all click bait and saying things they don’t mean for a reaction. A bit like a couple of posters on here. Just part of the moronic world we live in I’m afraid. I’ll give Alfred another game before I start calling for heads….. kidding!! We need to give this group and manager quite a bit of time imo.

If only it were as simple as picking a correct lineup, eh? We won't know if the lineup is correct until we see how the game plays out. That's the benefit of sitting in the stands. We get to say "I'd have picked a different lineup" after we see how the game plays out. As is the case when we play Celtic at any point, the result of the game will largely be dictated by how Celtic play. If they come out on fire and they're right up for it it doesn't really matter what we do. The gulf in class and depth in squad usually means we'll see a Celtic win. We need them to be at less than their best, and us to be on our game.

Well, it's harmless depending on what the individual's definition of "shout what you want for 90 minutes" is, isn't it? I certainly don't think that buying a ticket is a licence to act like an absolute bellend and hurl abuse at someone that would get you arrested if you did it outside a football stadium. Show displeasure at the result, the performance, for sure. But far too many take it too far. Maybe that's a reflection on their own situation, but still, footballers don't sign up for that.

Yup, were a few on Facebook also. Wonderful patience some folk have. Probably folk that don't even go to matches. Hopefully lessons learned and we regroup and get the personnel sorted. Drop the ones not performing and its up to them to get their place back

I also had thought about that but as mentioned probably not likely to happen

Duplicate post - please remove.

Hibs away (2nd goal), first half hour v St.Mirren. Helsinki home. Definitely been encouraging signs but we badly need SOD and Mcginn in team and priestman back. I think Fadinger was our oldest player on Saturday....26

That’s a fair point but as I said in that post you quoted from last October, I liked what I saw from Askou and could see what he was trying to do even if it hadn’t clicked for him yet at that point. He had a plan and he was a leader, that was clear, the only thing we hadn’t seen by then was it actually yielding results, but they of course came. Unfortunately I don’t see any of that with Alfred Johansson.

I agree in principle, but don't think we are reluctant to go long. Thats one of the biggest differences, for me, between JBA's team and AJ's team. We are now playing more long balls, irrespective of who is in the team.

I don't know if it's just X but I'm seeing folk saying they want AJ sacked. I think Jens obviously raised the expectation levels massively but maintaining that level was always going to be difficult. We need McGinn back asap because our CBs seem to switch off far too often Paulsen has been made some big errors which is not helping matters. I think we need to get Bjorgolfsson in the team he at least gives us the option to go longer which we are reluctant to do as the ball comes straight back at us with RCC up there

Great post. Thats it for many - a relatively harmless way to let off pent up steam.

Happy with that pal but I don't think we will go with 2 strikers, be one or other with 2 wide players (longelo and kanga/said my preferred pair) have any 3 from fadinger..hodge...lowry..Levitt...priestman (once fit)

I think Paul McGinn is coming back to fitness at just the right time and I'd pair him with Moormann with SODs right and Williams left. Longelo can play in midfield and put crosses in for our centre forward pairing of Thor and Seb. The last bit probably won't happen, but it would be nice to see what difference a traditional 4-4-2 might make.

I learned to keep schtum after shouting at Spittal to move away from a free kick after he had put in about 4 poor corners. He curled it into top corner, I have never looked so sheepish then apologised to everyone around me 🤣🤣🤣

Pay your money at the gate and shout what you want for 90 mins. No need to be reasonable or rational about it. Then toddle off home and do what the wife tells you to do for a week until next Saturday when you can start shouting all over again. Aye some football supporters are crackers, maybe even most.

Also this was just after Falkirk beat us 2-1 at fir park. I will never forget the guy at that game going absolutely berserk at askou and the team....times changed quickly soon after

That was an important game for sure and a turning point. Celtic will prove to be a far sterner test and I won't judge AJ and his team too harshly if we don't win. I am looking for a good performance from us though and one which demonstrates progress over what we've seen so far. Probably the Kilmarnock game will be a better yardstick. The following Hearts game will also be a good indicator.

It will be a different kind of challenge to the ones we've faced recently. Celtic won't adopt a low block. However that means our team must show aggression, physicality and competitiveness. Are they capable of that? Also no free gifts please.

This isn't me picking on you MFC but just really for the forum. Check the date we played this fixture last season where defeat would have taken us to bottom of table. Season didnt turn out too bad. At this moment I doubt we will finish 4th but absolutely no reason we cant turn it round after 2 bad defeats. Players still settling in.

I think there could be a different manager in away dug out by then but this will still be a very tough ask. All we ask is AJ gets his line-up correct and there is a big improvement from the players and hopefully we can get a great result

Three weeks to discuss before the game in case anyone is upset with the team 😇 See this game is on sky will it affect our home crowd? Hopefully a return of our injured players and someone up front to score goals Will we win this one? MJC? COYW

No place for Lowry isn't even worth thinking about, been our best player
