j1mgg 3,766 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It will take 5 or 6 games for Rodgers tactics to peel away, and for Lennon's to start to take effect, and by then I think it will be too late. If they get a wobble, Lennon will blow it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or losing it by the current margin. I guess going into next season the former is the favoured but it would be a bitter pill to swallow. gogzy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,360 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Na, not happening. This week will be huge for them but even if they lose tonight and go out the cup we’ll more than likely drop points and lose in the Semi or some shite. We’re not good enough/experienced to take advantage of any opportunity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Logic says we wont make up 8 points but anything can happen. Lets just focus on winning every game. No more wobbles. Keep winning and we keep the pressure on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooooootchy 405 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 They have 6 league games before the split including hearts away, and us and the sheep at home. Theres good opportunity for them to drop points. If we could get the points down to around 5 going into the split I'd fancy us, it'd mean we've taken something from the paedo dome and pressure would be fully on them. It's our own inconsistency that worries me though. On our day we're better than anyone in the league but we haven't been able to match their winning runs. The next couple games will be massive in how the season pans out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 4,568 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I’ve not ever felt the season is off. celtic have been dropping points throughout the season also and we have shown they are beatable. While I’m my opinion Rodgers leaving weakens them, it isn’t really about them. If we had not dropped so many silly points we’d be clear at the top. If we are able to cut out our inconsistent performances then we have a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,253 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hearts are shit so I can't see anything but an away win sadly. Would be nice if they lost, but can't see it. A win will let TLB slip into BR's slippers & pipe. Best i think we can hope for is getting it down to 5 points after the next OF game and then you never know. That, and breaking their treble in the Cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakbear 3,580 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Season isn’t over until it’s mathmatically impossible. especially this season where all teams have been taking points off each other. We have made up bigger gaps with fewer games and we have 6 points to play for against the league leaders. It’s doable in my opinion but we have to show the spirit of the Euro run and the hunger of the last two games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaunchLondonGer 1,651 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 My head says no chance BUT...it's all small margins either way. If we had beaten St Johnstone like we should have and Brown hadn't got that very late winner against Killie then we would be at just 4 points behind NOW and that would be a MUCH more optimistic outlook. I want to believe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanoli 4,625 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I think we’ll take 4 points from the old firm games and still end up trophy-less. Just don’t expect us to ever actually turn a corner and put a consistent run together. If our tempo and intensity drops even a bit we just don’t have the quality in midfield to find an answer on an off day. I still see a lot of parallels with Walters last rebuild. We’ll go about our business exactly as we did last summer. Adding quality where it’s needed most quickly and quietly. They’ll be scrambling for a new manager or lumped with Lennon while losing key players; and scrambling to put together a recruitment structure, or lumped with that clown Congerton. Every confidence we win it next season, but we’ve left ourselves with too much to do for now. As much as i’d love Lennon in control long term, i think he’ll manage to save them from the complete freefall we need in the short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid2103 285 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 As others have said, I'd love the believe that this is the year, but I think it's came just too late in the season. Dropping points against hearts and us winning may give our players the belief they need, and have then doubting their new manager, but we still need favours and to take points when they don't. This is football, and anything can happen, take it game at a time and see where we are at the split. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I don't think the season is back on. We struggle against packed defenses, can't go on a winning run and the first team are very inconsistent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
