James joins Vela in not making the bench now. I think we'll be trying to offload both in January which should free up a few pounds in wages. I can't see Middleton hanging around either.

I don't really care what the score is, our season isn't defined by days like today.
I am ecstatic that Hibs are going for it though. It's always been our best way to get results in Glasgow, particularly now. Our defence isn't good enough to sit back and soak up too much pressure and I'm convinced they have frailties if you get at them (I was far from impressed by them against Sevco last week).
If we go there and get a doing then too bad. At least we've tried to win. I hate it when teams lie down against Celtic and Rangers, especially so when it is Hibs.

What a strange thing to say.
I think what I'm saying is that I'd rather lose a few games in Glasgow heavily, winning the odd one, than put out a team that is going to lose by a goal or two every single time and leave you feeling hacked off that we didn't even try to win the game.
We've put out a positive team, and for that I will cut them a huge amount of slack if it goes pear-shaped - which it might.

Worried about our left flank if it's Frimpong and Forrest charging down the right for Celtic.
Bitton playing for them, so are they going with a back three? Maybe we could do the same with Naismith pushed in, with Boyle & Stevenson our wingbacks.
Our side has goals in it but I'm not so sure we can keep them out. Hopefully Edouard is a bit rusty and they'll miss Christie.

Think that's what Lennon has planned.
Speaking to BBC Scotland, Lennon says: "We'll probably go with a back three. Just due to the fact that, without Ryan [Christie] and Johnny [Hayes], we have a real lack of depth in the winger department and we want a little more support to Odsonne [Edouard]. This gives us the three in midfield and, the way Hibs play with their diamond, we can thwart that as well."

Can see Kamberi dropping in on the left to help us out when we don’t have the ball.
With them playing a 352 id imagine a centre half to come out with the ball trying to make us commit before popping it round our 4 midfielders.
It’s a worth that they will completely overload us and dominate the game but we have plenty players capable of hurting them.

Naismith and Hallberg dealing with Edouard/Bolingoli pretty well so far. Frimpong causing most of their threat at the moment. We need to treat the ball better in the final third, giving it away through a reluctance to play simple passes and keep possession.

A decent first half performance until 10 mins before half time when we started to get a bit ragged. Shame we couldn't have.made it til half time level and reorganised but Celtic were looking increasingly like scoring.
Hopefully a Jack Ross tactical.masterclass at half.time.and we'll get something out the second half. Just need to show a bit more belief at times imo.

Such a difficult task going there but we do look a little nervous. Every first touch seems to be backwards or negative. Whereas Celtic are more positive. I’m saying that Celtic don’t half get lucky with every 50/50 or break of the ball falling their way.
Wee tactical changes here and there and a bit of confidence and we can definitely score

Hibs distribution has been poor, the worst culprit being Rocky (as usual). For the past 20 minutes or so we've looked far less assured and are giving the ball away too cheaply. Ross has to tell them to calm down and do what they're capable of doing, ie. make a bit of time & space for themselves with simple passes, without necessarily trying to find Flo or Doidge with every ball.

This is a fair point. It's the biggest caviat to starting Rocky (he's more than worth it IMO), his distribution is way below par as we know.
Maybe worth utilising the new rules about having other players in the box during a goal kick. Better giving it to Hanlon to distribute I think.

As much as i like the idea of having a go at teams i dont get play 2 up top v Celtic. Its basically 2 players that will hardly see the ball unless our midfield are on fire. Get an extra man in midfield, stretch the game, help the defence out when we have to. Get them on the break.

As much as i like the idea of having a go at teams i dont get play 2 up top v Celtic. Its basically 2 players that will hardly see the ball unless our midfield are on fire. Get an extra man in midfield, stretch the game, help the defence out when we have to. Get them on the break.
Yep. Slivka for Kamberi for me

Struggling to get the game today. Celtic TV are pretty on the ball it seems.
Listening on radio, playing with Doidge and Kamberi is all well and good against teams we have a chance of beating, I'm not advocating going defensive like Hecky did but we need to change the shape of this team. We still have pace in Boyle but w're pandering to them by moving him to cover Frimpong, this negates Boyles attacking threat. Maybe bring Horgan on for Doidge to keep Frimpong busy and go 4-2-3-1

Could do with changing the tactic off goal kicks, they’ve all gone right and Celtic have picked up the ball every time
Everyone at the club must know Rocky aint good a goal kicks, can we have someone else do them?

our ball retention up front is abysmal, although he can score some lovely goals flo's not great at holding up the ball imo,body or feet, i'm sure i saw sellick defenders swanning about with cigars in their mouths
couple of decent saves from rocky early on, but i'm glad he's in goals
He's got no composure when receiving the ball under any pressure. Too often tries to do something smart instead of just taking it in with a good touch and play from there.

its probably been discussed but i thought Frimpong woukd have been suspended after his straight red last Sunday
The nature of the red card (stopping goal scoring opportunity) meant it was the next game in that competition. If violent conduct or serious foul play he would have missed today's game.

You would need to ask the recruitment team
Only a matter of time before Porteous was punished for a mistake. I like him but makes one every game and is usually bailed out
Still young and a lot of learning to do, looks a real fantastic prospect but is still a fair bit away from being at the real level we need, just too many regular mistakes being made.

Better players and less errors, that's why all we can really expect is to be the best of the rest, we might nick a we draw or win every now and then but we'll never be able to compete with the Ugly twosome money wise. I can take a loss as long as we at least compete during the game and make it hard for them, it's the hammering at Ibrox that sticks in my throat.
