We can't even blame the conditions for that first half,we have been absolutely hopeless.

Mcginley keeping his place is crazy,grimshaw passing back to the keeper from the hallway line in these conditions are already giving me the fear.

Alexander has dropped lamie a couple of times this season on the back of a decent game,I'll be surprised if mcginley isnt left out tonight and carroll is back in.grimmy needs left out to,i would bring ohara in for him.first goal will be important tonight,if we get it then hopefully we get a result,if not then I think we will struggle to get anything.

I thought he would have been nothing more than a short term signing when he came but he's been brilliant for us,I've really taking to him and hope he stays.he is the fittest and most focused he has been in his career and obviously that's showing on the park,hopefully we can benefit from that beyond this season.hes honest enough to say money will be a factor in what he does next,fingers crossed we can come up with the right deal for him.

I said in an earlier post about the forward line being disjointed but the midfield is even worse,we could play a combination of any three we have and it wouldn't make us play any different,we don't have players with the legs to get about the pitch,it's all very samey in midfield for us,players should be complimenting each other but at times it looks like strangers playing together for the first time.its far from panic stations but that's three poor performances in a row albeit against teams in form but we have been the architects of our downfall each time.the st mirren game certainly isn't must win but it would be nice to end the mini slump were in.

Not for me,i would like to see them play together as a two and try and strike up some kind of partnership,there both good players and I think they would work together.our front three looks pretty disjointed in general and playing either watt or van veen on the left of that just doesn't work.

Exactly,we need to do away with this zonal defending carry on,I just can't get why any manager would accept the opposition putting balls into the box unopposed,we just don't defend well enough and will lead to disaster more often than not.

Really poor stuff losing that game,when we got back level we should have made sure we brought a point back down the road,it's really frustrating losing they games where it's nothing more than fine margins,we don't want that becoming a bad habit.full backs were honking,I'm not a big fan of carroll but atleast he might provide a decent delivery now and again where as mcginley is just woeful,odonnell has been dire all season but the alternative is playing grimshaw there and he shouldn't be in the team as it is.midfield is a complete conundrum,I think no matter who we play in there the problems will remain.the front three just hasn't work,theres no link up or anything,its just three guys playing as individuals.i would go 352 and see where that gets us,it might make us a bit harder to beat and we would be better off with only two strikers on the park.

We really do,both timid going forward,constantly caught out of position and couldn't stop a cross coming in if there life depended on it.

It's basic stuff you get taught as a boy,stop the cross and stop the goal but we never have any interest in closing down the ball out wide.

Shocking goal to concede,how many times are we going to get punished by our full backs standing off letting the cross come in.

He seems to be highly rated from the couple of bits I've read online about him and being only 20,it would be a move that would make sense for us.players over there have definitely improved a lot in recent times,certainly since the days of the irish trio we signed.

We can't go away from home with a non existent midfield against a team in form and play our 433,we have to start this game with the aim of being hard to beat and see where it gets us.i would be tempted to go 352 and bring in carroll and sondre and go with van veen and watt up top.

Were definitely still a working progress,I think were good enough at centre back with some decent options,midfield is poor despite having several players to pick from as there all very much alike,we have decent attacking options when there all in the game but like today and tynecastle,we either need to go with two up top or it has to be changed quickly in game when it isn't working,we can't persist with 433 all the time.like you I'll be surprised if any of those players are with us next season,maybe a couple at a push.

433 will work for certain games but today and places like tynecastle it just isnt the answer,we can't afford to give the better teams in the league the freedom of the middle of the park,I get we've done it all season gave up possession but the better teams will ultimately punish us.

Dire all round sums it up perfectly,i can't believe we approached this game in the manner we did,those two centre backs of celtic have been slaughtered all season and yet we put them under no pressure whatsoever.it definitely had the feel of a performance under robinson where it was just a case of get this game done and out the way rather than going out and trying for a result.theres still glaring issues with us especially in midfield and up front,the balance just isn't there no matter who we try.thats the last two games albeit tough fixtures that we have gone down with barely a whimper,let's just hope they don't effect us to much and we can start picking up points again as soon as.

Blatant hand ball denied a penalty,fucking joke

I was expecting better from us today but this performance is all to familiar,it's like just get this game out the way and onto the next.mugabi sums it all up there does well that just blooters the ball away to nobody.

Were going to lose to a better side but our approach to this game has been shocking,there's real issues for us that still persist in midfield and front three.

Great strike but let's not make any attempt to press and stop the shot.

There by far the best celtic team we have ever faced but we have played right into there hands,for as poor as they have been at times this season,they still have better players than us and our insistence on not pressing and letting them pass the ball about isn't going to see us get anything from this game.

Much like at tynecastle we have shot ourselves in the foot with another cheap goal conceded and leave ourselves with it all to do.there centre halfs look far from comfortable,we have to take more risks and put them under pressure,if we can do that,for as poor as we have been there might still be some joy in this for us.

Our balls into the box are embarrassing

Or midfield
