I sometimes lose hope there's good I the world then reading someone has paid to meet Kettlewell and wound up meeting JBA it reminds you......good things do happen

We will miss having Welsh at the back so it will be tough for us on Sunday. Even with Celtic below par this will most likely be our hardest test of the season so far. Even if Just is available again, he’s just recovering from injury amd probably a bit rusty. Slattery still out, so we are down by 30% on starting outfield players. Having said that, the team is still capable of putting up a good show but will it be good enough to take 1 or 3 points ? If there are no silly mistakes in defense and if we pick this week to improve on converting our chances we might just come away with a point or three! COYW!!!!

Malpas's time in charge could be described as being No.2!! Ba boom

Celtic fans are currently hounding their board anyway due to the perceived lack of investment over the summer and their Champions League exit. The last 2 games wont have helped their mood, but its not going to have any influence on where their support is at in general. And where the support is at will have a much bigger influence on the teams performance than 2 bad results. Lets not try and pretend this Celtic team is anywhere near peak Rodgers. If we play to our best we have a very good chance in this game. Lets concentrate on that and ignore Celtic for once.

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

We’ll not be losing this game, that Celtic side is becoming poorer by the week, they have a manager working his ticket out of there, they have a reliance on players who are getting too old and a fan base who are becoming even more toxic than the other lot in the other side of the city. If we can play as we can and how we did v hearts we will do fine.

Call yourself a fan? 🤣🤣🤣

He's our assistant manager who, in the Meet the Manager session, said he also wants to play the same style of football and has ambitions to be a manager.

At the meet the manager event it felt like Max Rogers is JBA's successor when the latter moves on....as he will.

Yes that’s absolutely fair comment. And that’s why winning on Saturday was all the more satisfying because we had been on the wrong side of goalkeeper errors in those games. But looking at our team we are badly lacking up front. AP needs at least half a dozen chances before he converts one and his first touch always seems to let him down. Even RCC was guilty of a poor miss at Pittodrie the previous week before he scored his worldy. Maswanhise is our talisman and our best hope of converting opportunities if we’re being honest. It’s a frustrating one because if this team had a KvV, Moult, Bair or first spell Tony Watt then chances are we would be sitting with far more points on the board from the games played so far.

Well if we use that approach, the other side of the coin is our goalie making mistakes meaning we were unlucky against hearts and Killie.

If JBA turns us into a stable, top-six possession side by the end of the season, he’ll inevitably be poached. That doesn’t mean game over though. It means we’ve built that identity, and the job is simply to bring in another manager to continue it. I trust the new Chairman to do exactly that. The trajectory is now set regardless of who’s in charge. The aim obviously isn’t winning the league every year. It’s stability, entertaining football, European qualification, and a decent cup run or two.
