I am fully still supportive of Alfred Johansson.  We are still still playing good football without recent results

Hopefully one result to kickstart things and getting us going again.  If not tomorrow then definetly next weekend.

There was a huge over reaction after the Rangers and Dundee games when in reality two howling goalkeeping errors were our undoing.. I still don't think we will get anything today cos Celtic have better players. October is huge for us cos two midweek games so alot of games that could set the tone for the rest of our season. 

Outside the big city clubs you rarely see a club having back to back good seasons because their success is sold from under them and that's our likely position this season.

Im struggling to see what team will be the fall guy this year which is a pity. I always like to see someone detached early to give us some breathing space. I don't think that will happen this season. 

Everything is in the balance.

On a slight, but Celtic related, tangent, I have watched a few Ipswich games this season and was watching their game against Fulham earlier.

It's funny to watch Maeda running into the box and take a dive and for the refs and VAR to just ignore him. He was at it again today, and again it was (rightly) waved away.

If it had happened at Fir Park, the ref would have blown his whistle before he hit the ground.

We've got the same number of points are in the same spot in the table as we were this time last season.

I think we've done pretty well in replacing a number of the players we sold, although time will tell in the coming months. Unsurprisingly, to me at least, I think Slattery has been the biggest loss and the one most difficult to replace.

I think the biggest thing we miss about Slattery is his ability to take it in tight spaces and win fouls. It allowed us to get up the park and keep the pressure on opposing teams whenever it looked like they might get a foothold.

Obviously he had great technical ability too, but I think Lowry has that in buckets.

For me Just has been the biggest miss for his work rate and winning the ball back high up the pitch (not to mention his goals and assists), closely followed by Watt for his ability to dictate the tempo of the game.

To lose all 3 in one window was a sore one.

Hoping Oscar isnt far away from full fitness as his return will help us and a few more weeks on the training pitch should have helped build the relationships between Fadinger, Hodge and Lowry.

Shame Williams has got injured as it would have been nice to see Longelo utilised further forward, but I guess he will maintain his LWB role for now.

Looking forward to this today. Its been a long window, even for those of us who follow the national team, so good to get back to club football.

Up The Well! 🧡❤️🧡
