    Was excited by the signings but that training has made me worried. Practising attacking moves against no opposition. What is the point in that? Early doors I know and it does look like only about 7 players turned up. 

    You for real? 

    That is from a couple minute snippet from a session. 

    Also the squad will be split up with some doing fitness in the gym etc.

    We can talk about how some players are terrible, about how the manager picked the wrong players etc.

    But let's be honest here, Celtic are a far better team with better players in every position, with better players sitting on their bench than we've got in our starting 11. 

    Does it make it hurt any less? Does it fuck. Probably makes it worse to be honest, seeing how far behind we are. 

    I think our defence has looked a lot better since Pedro came and that's something we badly needed. I like the posters on here who go to youth games and give us reports and I respect their opinions, so this isn't a dig at them, but I read nothing but bad reviews on Bates but other than Hill, he's probably the best CB we've played this season. 

    The forward players are shocking, there's no creativity at all, Waghorn has the first-touch of a trampoline and the same level of footballing-intelligence as Beyonce.

    The only way we were getting a result yesterday was if Celtic had an off-day but they didn't, everyone of their players turned up and wanted it more than we did. They've beat us 4 times now and we got a draw at Parkhead because they were absolutely awful that day. 

    I think the manager made two mistakes yesterday and that was starting Halliday over Toral and once again leaving Dodoo on the bench. But other than that, what are you expecting from him? They're millions of pounds ahead of us, PC has been here for 5 minutes, he's inherited a team of players more suited to the Championship than the SPL. He needs time, he needs money (LOL) and most of all he needs the fans behind him and his team next season. 

    And lastly, far too much is being made of him "cuddling and laughing" with Rodgers, did it maybe cross your mind that the guy's pride was hurting? Putting on a brave face? He was obviously hurting, did you see his passion against Aberdeen? That doesn't strike me as a taig who doesn't care about Rangers. 

    Please don't talk sense in here!

    The other thing to note, whether you like zonal marking or not, our defensive record has been much improved by the new manager.

    I was talking to someone about this today, i think everyone agrees that we're not agressive enough at attacking the ball in these situations, no matter the marking system, but we've actually got a pretty small team so maybe the manager has gone for it as we can't match most teams for physicality so going zonal let's our couple of bigger players always have a chance of being involved... Just a thought

    One of our main problems is the size and lack of physicality of our team.
