Can we win the title?

[graeme_4 34,864]

No. 

Simply don’t have the players to do it.

We won't.

In fact, changes that: We CAN'T.

We have a side which has declined year or year since 55 in terms of ability, age, work rate and management.

We have replaced outgoings with sub standards incomings. 

We are mentally weak, we are accustomed to losing (1 title in front of no crowds and a Scottish Cup doesn't change that). 

We are predictable, slow, can't perform under pressure or the weight of expectation and we have a number of previously important players who have downed tools. 

The opposition are immeasurably improved and are not managed by Neil Lennon anymore.

Taking in to consideration all of the above, i can see no evidence that we could win the title.

Early days but I feel already that if we fall any further behind we’re fucked.  Our transfers have been brutal.  Not confident at all even 6 games in.

[plymouthranger 3,902]

We can, but I don’t feel it’s in our own hands anymore. We need them to suffer a massive knock in confidence, as they’re already effectively 6 points clear due to GD. 

[RFC55 109,643]

No and believe it or not it’s not anything to do with games vs the fenians

its the way we play against the shite especially away from home.

Get him in as Manager.  He would put a rocket up them, and I doubt he would do any worse than Gio.

Get Kevin Thomson in as an assistant, mostly for SPL games. Nothing to lose.

Why’s that? What for?

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Hes already said hes not going to change anything so theres no chance we are winning any league as long as he has this attitude.

I’m not who has been clamouring for wholesale changes.  But he really couldn’t do any worse.

Gio’s philosophy is to “keep the zero”.  
 

11 conceded in 3 games.  Nothing more needs to be said.

Come on to fuck mate.

A guy who has managed part time players in front of two men and a dog, with multiple tiny clubs since like Dundee feeling he isn't yet ready for the step up, should get the job of managing the biggest club in the country?

I like Thomson but fucking hell.

FFS. We lost at Parkhead admittedly in a shite fashion, surely not unexpected to drop 3 points there and we were cheated out of 2 points against Hibs. 
The game against Napoli up until the sending off was ours for the taking, must be a positive, we have more or less a full team coming back from injuries, all we need is a bit of self belief, consistency and a result against them at Ibrox and we are right back in it.

We aren’t where we want to be but we are far from out of it, if any of the players talked this way we would be baying for blood.

How many times last year did folk chuck the towel in and demand Gio be executed, how many times do we scream No Surrender at games then turn into surrender monkeys on here. This forum has got to be the most depressing place in the universe after a shit result, then a week later folk are wanting to have Gios babies.

Nup.

Defence is a mess

Midfield situation is an embarrassment.

Still don’t score enough goals.

There’s a malaise through the full club at the moment and only way i can see it ending is with new ownership.

[Smell the hotdog 4,026]

Course we can win it, will we? Seriously doubt it.

They’ve a better squad, attitude and manager (domestically) than we have unfortunately.

[Kylegib 516]

Still a long way to go this season but we really need Gio to instruct the team to be far more positive and play to our strengths. The negative tactics so far have a huge part on why we're so far behind with the goal difference.

[MurrayWilson 3,444]

Clutching at straws here but we still can if several things happen. First off the manager has to change tak and get them on the front foot every game. Unlikely, probably not happening. Win every game till the world cup break, again unlikely, then when we return we could have lawrence, lowry and roofe to introduce back to the squad. Ben Davies could get fit and be the centre half we are crying out for, unlikely. We could use the january window to get a proper box to box midfielder and a good right winger. Probably the most unlikely of the lot. So in short, not looking good really.

Gio took the hand break off v Ross County he should do the same today, it’s games like away at Tynecastle, Pittodrie etc I think he will be too conservative an it will cost us.

[Swagger 8,242]

Squad isn’t good enough or hungry enough plus celtic will drop next to nothing. 
The gap will be at least 8 points going into the next Old Firm.

You can’t really trust this lot to spend wisely in Jan either. 
A cup is the best we can hope for - club is a mess

Get your point but the old firms are hugely important and we're the difference last year. We must get the better of them head to head rest of season to win the league.

Issue is we still have a few who look great at Ibrox against your Ross Countys, St Johnstones etc but then go missing in the tougher games.

They did matter but then so did losing two goal leads to Motherwell and Ross county

Kevin Thomson.

Fucking hell.
