Calm doon and wring yer pants oot, if we are in the same position with 8 games to go it might be a relegation battle but now its just poor early season form.

True bud, it would be dull if we all sang from same songsheet

Football can be a very funny old game in the words of Ian St John , or was it Greavsie I was kinda hoping for a Sellik win just so we didn't move any further down this tight league On the other hand the Brendan and the board out brigade and Big Ange back in could be quite comical tonight on social media

It’s a football forum built on differing opinions, and it would be dull without them. What you call a meltdown is just part of the fan forum dynamic.

Its the September review. This is October.....

This is where I get really frustrated. 2 weeks ago we were close to getting a great result at Parkhead had it not been for a horrendous error. Fast forward 2 weeks and we have a bad 45 mins and suddenly we are relegation favourites, manager under pressure, etc etc. Yes that's not everyone's views but I just hate the meltdown every time we lose a game of football Keep the faith

Well said pal, agree 💯

Im with you @texanwellfan. Patience required and given how damn good our football has been I've got faith we're making huge leaps forward. Results will come.

I get the frustration and disappointment but I hope everyone can have some patience and maintain positive support for the manager and the team. I’m pretty sure the vast majority were confident of getting a win yesterday which makes it even harder to take. We are playing a style which has yielded some of the best football seen at Fir park in years and we are only 8 games into the season. Yes, there are issues but let’s not start getting on the backs of the manager and the team so soon. I’d much rather support continuing our current style as we try to fix the issues. Some fair comments regarding our issues but that should not be transferring into booing or getting on the players backs at the game. I’m hoping Slattery will help make a difference when he comes back in and i think i agree with earlier comment about going with Walsh/Gordon pairing. I also hope that we are looking for a Longello back up and another striking option we can get in January or are we planning on Suele(?) being that?

What they say about Said goal?

We’re not winning this one. We’re toothless up top, our final ball is generally pish, and the defence is soft with a dodgy keeper behind it. All we’ve really got going for us is some tidy midfield play that rarely leads anywhere. Martindale won’t need to do much. He’ll just let us play in front of them and wait for the usual daft mistakes that gift them a goal or two. If we do lose, the midweek game against Dundee Utd before the semi turns into a cup final for us. The pressure’s on JBA and the players now.

Now if we loose on Saturday we could be bottom of league. 1 win in 8 What is relegation form. St Johnstone went down having won 8 games in 33. If our run continues to be 1 win every 8 matches, it will be total of 4 or 5 won in 33 games. Even getting 1 point per game will likely mean relegation or playing in play off.

Dundee doing what we could only dream of; beating Celtic and actually winning a game. Granted Celtic have been terrible but if they had played against us like that they would still have beaten us because we can’t defend and can’t kill games off. The bigger picture here is though that this is not a good result for us. There is actually a very strong possibility that we could be bottom of the league next Sunday evening should we lose to Livingston and Aberdeen beat Hibs on the Sunday.

Any team can say they could be higher up league. Given circumstances being different.We could equally be bottom of league without the Aberdeen goalie error.

As much as it’s nice to see Celtic being beaten, Dundee picking up 3 points today isn’t great. i do think though that it is the closest league I can remember. Every team can beat one another, including Celtic. They are the worst I’ve saw them in 50odd years. To think we could be sitting in a more favourable place at the top end of the table is quite frustrating

By all accounts the new pitch is much improved. Not grass but not the shocking surface of seasons past. Win or lose, it will not be down to the surface.

We aren't anywhere near good enough defensively,we keep getting into winning positions in games and it's the daft goals and individual mistakes that are costing us,all the nice football in the world will count for nothing if we don't sort it out,we have a semi final coming up and it will be no surprise to anyone if we play well and don't make the final.yesterday feels much worse than letting the lead slip at parkhead or the collapse at tyne castle,we need to start learning our lessons and quick as this is a really bad habit we have developed so soon into the season.

Usually try to avoid posting immediately after games to give me time to clear my head. But yesterday was too much. in no way do I condone any of the irrational abuse aimed at some players which others have highlighted earlier in the thread. Maybe having to put up with some of that stuff is the price we have to pay for playing the attractive football that has seen a sizeable increase in the number of fans attending games? But I do think fans are justified in calling out our Manager after performances like the second half yesterday. He rightly has had plenty of praise for changing our approach and making football fun again. But he must also expect criticism after days like yesterday. It's not all down to the players. He has the power to alter things if needed. My view leading up to half time was that Katroumbis was done, having been injured when fouled and then seconds later further aggravating the injury with a block tackle. He battled through until the break but did not look like he had recovered. He was kept on regardless and really struggled in the second half. I consider that a managerial error. I mistake which Falkirk exploited time after time down that wing. I lost count of the number of times they got in behind and should have punished us. Team selection wise I had hoped to see Welsh return at CB, pairing up with Gordon. I am not Gordon's biggest fan but have to admit that he and Welsh have been great as a pairing. Welsh seems to have helped Gordon regain his confidence and composure. McGinn may be Club captain but for me he finds it challenging playing centrally given our new approach. Even panics at times. If he cannot make the team at right back then he should not be squeezed in out of position just because he wears the armband. I thought our central defending was poor yesterday and I believe Askou's team selection played a part. Up front I thought Hendry did ok, and was perhaps a bit more mobile than Ap Stam. But he was no better in the box. What was the reason for starting Hendry ahead of a striker who was excellent at Celtic Park and who at last looked to have found his goal scoring touch? Unless Ap Stam was carrying an injury being dropped will hardly have helped his confidence. Admittedly he did miss a chance when SOD put in one of the few decent balls into the box that we saw all game. On that front both Katroumbis and Langelo wasted too many opportunities. So! Frustrated but not bailing ship yet. I love our style of play and find it refreshing and enjoyable. I took along a couple of Falkirk fans to the game and they thought we were fantastic, more so first half of course. The drive back to Fife was a tough ask! Still relatively early days, but we need to start winning games we dominate and our Manager has a part to play in that. He also has to reflect on his own contribution when things do not work out. Evidence suggests it's not only the players that have things to learn.

Currently 10th at moment but in a very glass half full attitude we are 3pts off 3rd!, league so tight

Lol yes very mature of them. Embarrassing. All I want for Saturday is a win and hope vat don't ruin it again. That goal on Saturday would have helped confidence of Said and team.

Sellik will comeback and win i am certain but also funny seeing them lose at moment after the embarrassing delay to game by 'best fans in world', aye let's throw loads of balls into pitch...wooooooahhhhh that's tough

If Livi win we could be bottom of league. They are a physical side and it will be difficult. Especially on that surface. Draw expected.

I was so tempted to fire a few at them yesterday, that would have left them speechless. My mates would happily agree with your request to move 🤣🤣

We could be bottom of league by Saturday if Livi beat us and that's a real possibility as Dundee beating Celtic.

Any chance you could come and sit beside me in the back row and tell some of your jokes , that will soon move them.
