I'm actually feeling super optimistic about the 10 now. I really do think everyone is coming into good form. always a few that might not get there though. If we don't lose on Saturday I'm confident we'll win the league.
I actually think even if we do lose, we can still claw it back. Reasons for this is that we've had the blip of all blips in terms of form, we've had injuries, and bad luck with postponements and C.V. They will have a wobble, every team does.
Losing on Saturday isn't the disaster, losing to them at celtic Park was the disaster. There's no doubt we have to win games in hand. So if we lose its essentially 10 point gap. They were 13 points behind last year with a quarter season remaining yet they thought they could do it, so 10 points with half a season is doable. Of course we would need to beat them twice- which then becomes 4 points.
Right now we are still winners and they are still bottlers so I don't think its over. they'll drop points as long as we win game in game out after Saturday.
As for transfer window- 2 additions would be all it takes. Assuming its true and we ain't after a goalie then for me it has to be the best CH we can find. even on loan. This allows Ajer to play RB. The other one for me is someone who can make a difference when required. So I'd go get Snodgrass. His delivery, free kicks and experience would complement current squad, especially with Forrest and MJ returning.

Losing at home is no more a disaster than losing away, there isn't really any home or away games this season because of the lack of supporters,

Smoke me a kipper great to see positive posts rather than the end of the world is nigh billboard comments. Get right in about the red hand sanitisers on Saturday get the 3 points and let’s see how they cope with leading the pack on the run in as the gap narrows. I’ve been saying for weeks calm yir drawers there is a lot of football to be played yet Santa doesn’t deliver league titles. Its not over until it’s over concede nothing. Good to see Lennon keeping it real as well. We turn up and play to our capabilities we win. Then it’s game on. Lose and it’s an uphill struggle but still not over by a long shot.

Aindoh the manner of the defeat at Parkhead was nothing short of an embarrassment as was last December.

We know we have the better players and we know what they are capable of . Now it’s time to show it.

The least the players can do is to turn up in the right attitude and perform with skill, determination, passion, courage and confidence.
All of these were missing at Celtic Park and as painful, infuriating and frustrating as it was to watch - we only lost 2-0.
The players owe it to themselves, to play like proper Champions.

JFP, I know that, I was just trying to point out that because of the lack of fans, there isn't really home or away games, I know that performance was a total embarrassment, I feared the worst when I seen the lineups, and if Lennon picks the same kind of team tomorrow, it will be more of the same.

Aindhoh I think no fans has been a double dunt to us. It has worked in their favour and been to our detriment. For me the team picks itself.

I disagree, I think if we lose on Saturday it's over unfortunately. However we should have nothing to fear against them, we're in good form. Let's just hope Lennon doesn't mess about with the team.

I think the lack of fans affected them aswell at the very start, but then they adapted to it, maybe Gerard used some method to make the players see the lack of fans as an advantage rather than than a disadvantage, but I think more teams are getting used to playing in empty stadiums, no longer are they these super stars playing in front of adoring fans, they are starting to remember how they used to be footballers who played because they loved playing football and for no other reason.
