Since ange first arrived we have signed 65 players (Inc loans) . yet here we are after another window weaker in most departments and again needing a clear out . with incoming quality reinforcements desperately reqd . luckily until hearts current restructure it's been a one horse race . how could a board be so incompetent complacent as to make this happen (managers also culpable to some degree) . Will it change in Jan.

DRB I wonder what the hit rate is on those 65 signings, and I mean genuinely successful signings not just they’ve been ok . Maybe 15-20% (complete guess, would need to properly look at the list of players and work it out) . Out with transfers I’m genuinely concerned about this season and for many reasons, the most worrying thing for me atm is how predictable these poor results are. I’m a big gambler but have never and would never bet against Celtic not to win (stupidly) ?I called the 0-0 at home against kairat and then fancied Almaty away which was obviously wrong as it was another 0-0and also called 0-0 today, the point here isn’t me guessing scores correctly it’s the fact that we are so toothless up top and completely inept at creating clear cut chances and progressing the ball from back to front quickly that I have little to no faith in us getting a positive result. We are so lucky that that mob are absolutely rotten, but if they sort themselves out we are in trouble . We should be absolutely light years ahead of them on and off the pitch but instead we keep them in touching distance it’s unforgivable. I know I’m probably exaggerating slightly but I can’t help it, I feel so despondent about us recently and it should be the opposite feeling after progressing slightly last season . Love reading all the posts on here guys so thanks and thanks ED for all the hard work.

Is Tony Ralston the only player we have capable or at least attempting to play first time balls into the box? The amount of about we do to find the perfect angle is ridiculous. I’m almost 66 and can remember when we created that many chances even average strikers would score plenty by law of average.
At least we are playing better, but need to be more effective.

That makes it 1 in 5 have done well or ok. How many of them would you say have been outstanding?
