Could we be lacking in confidence due to our goalkeeper crisis. Foster and Gordon used to pull off big saves for us and that used to edge the team on. Knowing you have a goalkeeper that will command his area. No days every shot at our goal is a goal scored. Bain is never a no1 keeper and Barkas needs another run of games. I also heard Conor Hazard refused a new contract and will leave for free at end of season.

If our defenders have no faith in our goalkeepers,
They should be protecting them even more.

I think it's the goalkeeper who has no faith in our defence as they are all shocking.

It's definitely a combination of both, added to variety defensive partnerships between Biton, Ajer, Jullien, Duffy and four full backs.
Too much chopping and changing (much of it forced) , plus new goalie, a third choice goalie and a struggling Captain unable to keep-up; all adds up to why we are a bomb-scare defensively. No quick-fix either.

Well for me some of the problem is we played a winger at RB who can't tackle and is regularly out if position when the opposition attack. A midfielder (not ajer) at CB who can't defend, head and is slow. And for some reason Lennon thinks it ok to have both full backs up the pitch and leave just 2 CB and a keeper all of who we change week in week out. And where we get caught time and again on the counter attack. Also no cover from the holding midfielders one who seems time has caught up on him.

So is it any surprise we concede so much.

Yep the defence is a shambles but what bain was doing out in no man's land is anyone's guess but still looks better than the 5 mill Greek.

Personally I think barkas has bee nudged too early. Yes there’s been a few goals he’s conceded that he was at fault but come on, look at the performances of the 3/ 4 defenders in front of him. Defensively we’ve been a absolute shambles all season, and with all due respect to Bain who I think is a decent keeper no more than that, did any of us see us signing a £5 million keeper to play second fiddle to Bain? Yes a keepers job is to make saves, try keep clean sheets, but I have to say even Forster would struggle to keep clean sheets in this team right now with some of the horrific defending we’re producing. We’ve hired a sports physiologist, might I suggest lennon hires a top defensive coach.

Other outlets are saying NL is staying put as apart from Europe, there is all to play-for domestically!? Don't shoot the messenger.

Heard if we sack lennon on the 2nd Jan, Strachan will be in charge.

Celtic look set to cut short Shane Duffy’s loan deal in January.

I feel for Duffy. He's a massive Celtic fan and he has genuinely tried his best but the reality is that his best is not good enough. Couple that with the fact that he has came into a team with seemingly uninterested players and a manager who doesn't seem to be sure if Friday follows Thursday and it doesn't really give the lad much of a chance from the get go. There's a reason why he wasn't getting a game at Brighton and that is because he just isn't good enough any more. Same as Broony, yet for some reason he still seems to be the first name on the teamsheet for every game. He'd be a bigger asset off the pitch and getting in around the lads in coaching and motivation than he is nowadays on it. Also, I think he'd do a better job than Lennon if he were in charge. HH.

he will miss the train.

27 Nov 2020 11:19:45
Its a shame it didn't work out for him as he seems a decent lad but serious questions need to be asked about our scouting. Surely anyone who analysed Duffy would know about the lack of pace and see he would be unsuitable given our tactical shape?

Agree2 Disagree0

its not that he is not good enough bestybhoy. duffy is a backs to the wall defender were teams pile everything into his box and he puts his body on the line and battles for all the crosses into the box which is why he stood out at Brighton under Chris Houghton who was defensive which is why he was shown the door in the end up and graham potter was brought in.

Brighton were wanting to start playing better football when they brought graham potter in and that's why duffy did not fit in as he is not that type of defender that can play in a higher line he will get caught out a lot tracking back.

which is why he is struggling at us as we play a very hi line if duffy were to fit in anyway at a back 3 with us he would need to kind of play as a sweeper type away back and let Julien and ajar play the higher line were duffy main job is to stay back and protect the box. his confidence is gone and i really hope he gets it back and it works out for him.

None of the players look up to it at the moment so maybe harsh on singling him out. Another manager needs to come in and get the best out the players.

Hopefully a few French guys follow him as they have give up a long time ago in my opinion. That being eddy and ntcham.

Eddy looked decent against Hibs and Sparta he might slowly be coming back to form.

There were a lot of people on here singing Duffy's praises, saying he is a no nonsense ch. They also said he was the type of defender we are looking for. I don't recall anyone saying he wasn't good enough, I don't watch anything other than celtic. So I could only go on what guys on here thought. I don't watch EPL or efl or any other football that doesn't include celtic. So I can only go on players I have seen and that ch at Motherwell Gallagher I think his name is looks good.

Strap in then lads, it would seem we are going to be watching this car crash for a while yet. It seems more likely now that after being named as the pot 1 team, albeit in a tough group we will end up with one point. This is becoming so hard to watch at the minute, as we all can see what’s coming . Every team knows to stick in with us, even if they go a goal behind as we will give any side two or three basic chances in a game. I can’t fathom how our decision making has become so bad, or maybe like others have said Forster saved us last season more than we actually thought . I also like to hear Lenny having an open discussion after the game, asking the players if they have lost confidence in themselves or their team mates. Forgot to ask if they have lost confidence in him and his team 🙈

For those that think we are going to get rid of lennie and bring in Howe, when have we ever done a quick managerial appointment? Plus I’m sure Eddie howes old management team are still at bournemouth, so he would need to bring in a whole new team or work with our stale one. If lennon goes I’d say at best it will be strachan until the ends of the season with the same team behind him or worse still just the team behind him taking over. This is as bad as I can remember, in the 90s we were bad but our squads were terrible compared to them, this is a different situation as we have a comparable squad if not better .

Think you are forgetting about Mowbray's reign mate.

Is Nigel Pearson still available? As a short term solution he could do a job. Well organised and no nonsense. Would give us time so seek out a better fit in the summer.

I did forget about Mowbray 😂 yeah that was bad as well.

If he's here then he needs to win every game up until the Sevco game. No dropped points. Need to get the intensity back into our game for the full 90mins speed up the passes and cut out the million passes between defence that he said we was going to do after BR left and press higher up the pitch again. We was playing some of our best football after Christmas when we was doing that. The players have totally lost that about them this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Nov 2020 11:24:33
Just sell everyone and start again lol we can't win 2 games in a row, I think we have 2 wins in 9games. i would just drop the whole first team and bring the youth in. I would rather watch them give 100% than the players we have now giving 10% the board need to act fast because if we lose on the 2nd Jan or any league game in between that it's over. I am pretty sure if nothing changes then we won't win all those games, also lennon said he can turn it around, he has all season to turn it around and still haven't done it. I am just getting sick of this whole fiasco.

Nigel Pearson really, you’re not serious what has he achieved to make him qualify for the position, he’s had more jobs than we’ve had victories this season.
