If we hadn't dropped 5 stupid points since the shut down then we could have had a great chance. So frustrating.

Bears r us 30,793 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I would love to think they will be rattled by Brenda leaving, but I am not sure they will. If Hearts managed a draw or win tomorrow then I might change my mind. Bobby Hume, cascadeshrimp, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Blues 497 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I think we are over rating Brenda. He's won a bunch with little or no competition due to us marking time and the sheep bottling it. Brenda is heading South 'cos he realises SG has his number. We didn't beat them 1-0, we Murdered them 1(going on 5)- 0. Why would any manager worth his salt leave the club he loves (allegedly) to join a mid table club elsewhere? Maybe it's the SG factor allied to his relationship with his board. Either way, no big deal for me. saintbob1969 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The league is gone. But Gerrard needs to just keep building. Keep adding better players and keep improving. it's clear we have made big improvements this season. Let's win the Scottish cup and finally win a major trophy again and then focus on the league next season. I think we will be much better in the league next season.

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 They have to lose a couple of games during which we don't drop any points before I start getting enthusiastic again. We haven't shown the needed consistency yet. BlueAvenger and Bears r us 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintbob1969 1,459 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Lennon's idea of a team is different to Brendas. Also, while Brenda has won 7 competitions it was without any serious competition. Aberdeen are a joke. Brenda had to jump at his chance because he won't get another, he isn't that good. If he didn't have all the money in the country it's arguable whether he'd have won anything. Lennon will be barking and snarling at these pampered players the minute they hit a difficult run and that will mean they either man up or they crumble. We need to be ready to put the foot on the neck and kill off this last chance. Slaughter them next time we play, rack up the goal difference, guarantee they won't win by more than 82-86 points this season and if we keep doing what we need to do then it's going to be very very interesting. cascadeshrimp and Ayrshire Blue 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst of all looks like Popcorn Teeth is about to get another token title. I felt the same post st johnstone. But I do think there will be a dip in form with Lennon. He could easily alienate that dressing room. We just need to focus on our remaining fixtures. Pick up points and maybe just put a bit of pressure on.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If they carry on their run since losing to us then it’s over. Depends on what changes the bigot makes at the tatie bowl.

doc holliday 1,653 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 As I said just after the St Johnstone debacle at Ibrox when doom and gloom was the theme,matters can turnaround very quickly and unexpectantly in football. The next 7-10 days could be very interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,555 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Best thing about this is Clarke would’ve been a shoe in for this job had he not melted down last week and proved he never had the mentality to manage in the OF Rodgers isn’t a great manager but he’s considerably better than Lennon and that give us a better chance of clawing back at them. We just have to make sure we win all our games, home games especially and see where it gets us. With 2 old firms to go I still feel like it’s very much in our hands if we can play to a consistent level Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 One things for sure, while Brenda isn’t the superstar manager they all made him out to be they’ll drop more points with Lennon in charge than they would have with him still there. We’ve got two old firm games to go and while it’s a huge ask, if we can play at our best consistently then there’s still a chance. If hearts beat them tomorrow, they will be in full blown meltdown and then anything could happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its very possible. Hearts and hibs both have reasons for wanting to get one over Lennon. We just need to get stuck into Dundee and the sheep.

Bigdave30 8,701 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 They are one bad game away from a huge shift in pressure, their squad has never really had any proper pressure. Rodgers has fucked off, if hearts beat them the heads will drop and the manky mob will be on their backs proper for the first time in a long time. Knowing popcorn teeth’s character he could worsen the situation especially with the loan players who are just marking time waiting to leave and lose the dressing room. Although forgetting all this speculation, are we even good enough to get our foot on those cunts necks? Our form has been erratic but off the back of the last 2 games I’m brave enough to be optimistic. We need to have the ‘every game is a cup final’ mentality and see how it plays out.

ForeverAndEver 71,469 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The whole them not having had any pressure is a myth. We were chasing them last season got close, 2-1 up, get beat 3-2 despite them going to 10 men at 2-2. Been under pressure plenty of times this season and the only bottling has been done by us.
