I did not once think we where ever gona lose this game we made it look better for alloa.
I liked guchi last night but that tackle shocking the alloa lad new exactly what he did his fake denial was embarrassing.
Joe Hart should step away in situations like yes he was the captain we need an aggressive captain broony would have flattened this guy and let him know he could have ended guchi carer.
Also calmac and guchi should play together I don't like calmac playing a more forward roll.
I think they would be good it allows calmac to do his thing.
I know ange wanted a little rest for the players I don't agree with that play best and strongest 11 and if winning make the changes 30 mins from the end see what replacements do.
##Jota has to play from the start
Same as starman
Same as Hatate
Same as vickers
Same as juranovic
Same as Bitton IMO.
Maeda should ALWAYS be through the middle.
I know ange thinks most of these players can be versatile but to soon.
We are stil gelling players Wednesday wil be a good test for Japanese lads.
Scales did OK
Big Starman my MOTM.
Our forwards should have put this game out of site but good thing is again celtic are becoming great at pinning teams back to there own 18 yard box it was the same against hibs there defenders could not get the ball out of there defence.

Should have won comfortably but how many times have we said this, thought the team selection was good maeda looked good on left imo think he played there regularly in Japan he should have scored, guys like Welsh and scales and ralston needed a game you never know when we'll need them and they have to be ready.

Disagree that Brown would have done anything different. Thinking back to the Hayes / Naismith incident. What I did like was McCarthy sticking one on him later.
Agree with everything else. Starfelt has become a whipping boy. Maeda like Furuhashi is wasted out wide. I hope we don't try and shoe horn both into the same side.
Still feel we struggle to break down teams that are sitting. BB has said it before. Play 352 away against teams that sit. The personnel was ideal for it yesterday.

Totally agree BigBubs, 3-5-2 all the way, BuzzBomb called it a while ago, it would enable us to take more of the chances we create and finish teams off quicker.
The opposition defence have had it too easy, with two forwards to manage in a game it means twice the concentration, twice the effort/ work rate and personally I think the vast majority of teams would struggle with that.
