A full week to work on a 442 with arses being kicked. We need Ojamaa, Vigurs and Ainsworth all doing what they are capable of.

Watching the Accies highlights, the number of empty seats in the East Stand is alarming. I cant recall a season where it's looked so empty. Balls need booted for our approach to the summer. A rise in ST prices was followed by the club going into hiding after the European farce. Our ST sales must be down significantly. Sadly there doesn't appear to be anybody to the boot the balls.

Bob McHugh didn't look as bad as he usually does; which speaks volumes for the team. Felt for Erwin getting high balls pelted to him while playing out of position throughout. He is a talent though. Twardzik motm. Not sure where the Leitch claims stemmed from.

Interesting few months ahead. It would appear that McCall and his players are unable to paper over the of-field cracks any longer.

Amateur on and off the park at present.

4-0 flatters us. No shape, no discipline, no fitness, no attempt to play football. A season of grinding out a record number of points with little emphasis on passing the ball has well and truly caught up with us. Abysmal today. You could have pulled out a more coherent 11 from the stands.

We've not had a playmaker since Nicky Law left and consequently Lasley is left with too much to do. Vigurs has failed to step up to the plate on a regular basis.

Indeed. At least 3 players were left out as precaution since Alex Neil deemed Saturday the more important of the 2 games. No goals against that team is inexcusable.

High league positions mean little when the money goes on bonus schemes. Although, maybe we don't have the right bonus scheme in place for cup competitions?

No comparisons should be drawn between a semi pro right back and James McFadden.

Would expect Lawson, Carswell, Ojamaa, Erwin and ZFA all to come in and join Josh Law in the starting lineup.

McCall is a cool customer but the pressure of cup games really seems to cloud his judgement. Albion Rovers, Stjarnan away and tonight have provided a catalogue of bizarre selections and substitutions where negativity has prevailed. On the bright side, these cup exits don't hurt half as much as they used to.

Accies were nowhere near full strength.

Simply not good enough. Completely shit the bed in cup games.

Not surprised to see Ramsden and ZFA on the bench given their recent injury history. Disappointed that neither Ojamaa or Erwin are playing but again, that'll partially be down to the surface. Josh Law doesn't miss many games.

Wonder how many we'll take tomorrow. Some really poor crowds tonight's as seems to be the norm with the league cup. 1,800 at Thistle St Mirren.

It was a soft pen but as soon as Law put his hand out I feared the worst. Lesson learned hopefully.

Mind we rested Sutton and Lasley against Albion Rovers. Strongest team possible and no change of keeper hopefully.

NDP doesn't have many good memories. Hopefully we can be as solid as we were today but have the added pace and creativity of Erwin and Ojamaa supporting Sutton.

Great point. It was a lethargic Celtic but we'd normally lose by a goal or two. We've tried playing that way numerous times at Parkhead but we are much better disciplined defensively now. O'Brien looks a real valuable addition in that respect and while Twardzik has his critics, he inspires the defence IMO. Time to kick on now with a tricky double header against the Accies. Key positive from today is the strength of the bench. Decent options.

Looks a horribly defensive lineup. Reid in a holding midfield maybe? No width, pace or support for Sutton. The bench looks decent though.

With the right coaching staff around him, I've no doubt McCall can operate at a much higher level. He's not without the flaws but his man management is indisputable. Strachan rates him very highly.

Just before a cup game!? If he does go we really can't afford to the replacement wrong. Interesting times ahead.

Starting to get a notion to attend. Am I right in thinking that we've previously been able to pick up away end tickets from Celtic ticket office?

Anyone making it along to these games? Judging by the highlights in recent weeks, Thomas, Cadden and Mackin really look to be catching the eye.
