I remember BR saying when we signed Shevad, that it wasn't his signing and that we have to many wingers. How things have changed now that the only decent winger we have if any is Forrest and he's injured. Lennon is trying to play a formation true out the season when we have no wingers. The board and hammod are signing players that we don't need and not seeing the weekness in our team. I don't know do we blame Lennon for our signings this year or the board. Our standards with Lennon have dropped dramatically in the way we play as a team done to the fitness of the team. I'd like us to have a look at Eddie Howe I think he is young with a good style of playing football. But my gut is telling me DD will appoint Roy Keane.

It looks like the signings Celtic made in the summer were for a 3-5-2 formation.
We never played it from the start because our forwards weren’t fit enough.
Then Lennon only started playing his preferred system several games in to the season after we signed Duffy.
When the formation that worked so well last season was failing, he went back to a 4-2-3-1 system but we found ourselves short on wide players for the season.
If only Lennon could see what the fans could see and that was to try a diamond formation with 2 strikers earlier.
Our season might of been different and Celtic could’ve put up a better fight.
But waiting until the end of December to try the obvious, was criminal.
In a nutshell Celtic started a massive season unprepared.
We usually make a slow start due to the way we constantly delay our summer signings but this season Celtic for once, never recovered from not being ready to hit the ground running like our rivals.
This season has been a calamity from the board, management team and all our players.
Collectively they’ve all been a shambles and no one is blameless.

If it were to be Keane just close the doors and give them another title.

Unless something is happening in the background and their is a cunning plan this won’t be one title lost
League is lost change now and rebuild would be the way ahead without C.V. but do finances allow? Are the board willing to invest properly and do they really care as long as they get the tickets sold?
Is there the nonce or balls in the higher management to fix this
This is turning out like a Baldrick and Blackadder sketch.

From the word go pre season it’s been a disaster. Celtic like they do every season tae an eternity to do their business. Now if that was generally the case and we were waiting on out and out quality then you’d maybe understand it, but it’s no more than bang average being brought in. On the other hand ( ad I know I won’t e popular for saying it ) across the city business in the market is done pronto and it has to be said, it might not be names that get their fans excited but in the main I’d say most of the signings made by them work, they’ve fitted in and contributed. Now that comes down to proper homework, whereas you’ve us running around lie headless chickens snapping up guys in the final days/ hours of the window that haven’t kicked a ball in long enough, paying absolute fortunes and not 1 has turned out to be close to a decent signing. Now wether that’s down to lennon, Hammond, lawwell or even a collective, the one thing that is for sure is it’s not bloody good enough!
