.....................Bringing hayes on before burke or weah was a strange one for me.
......................I was thinking that...but you would think that if lenny wants the job permanently he would play our best players. Whether the are loanee or not ?
Would you have made the same changes today as Lennie?
.....................No.
But my honest opinion?
a.) If we win (like we did), we're 10 up on Sevco. We draw and we stay level. We lose and we drop a point. The worst-case scenario here was that we drop a point, but that didn't happen. We're 10 up on the second place team.
b.) Dundee, which appears to be heading to relegation, is fighting for their lives. So it's no wonder they mugged the hell out of Celtic players for 97 minutes while the referee did absolutely nothing.
c.) Lenny and staff had the luxury of experimenting with the lineup against Dundee. It didn't work, like it didn't work in the previous game. They need to go back to the drawing board. Should he have a different lineup and substitute earlier? My sense is that he should. I also think that Weah and Burke should start, and while I hope they do, I'm leaving them to do the managing and trusting them to do the best with what we have.
a.) Too many rational people on this forum are having a world-class freak-out panic attack for no apparent reason. It was ugly to be sure, but we won the game. We. Won. The. Game.
I think we might see Lenny ruffle a few feathers now we have a 10 point gap.
Agree 100 percent all we had to was win Dundee wanted a draw with a 11 man defence and a blind ref,they failed we won and that's what we need to do yes it was ugly but in the end it's 10 points clear a lot of disappointed rivals out there,onwards and upwards it's never over to it's over ask Dundee supporters how they felt when Eddy scored?? I only felt joy and relief HHNo.

Sinclair was a passenger
Never seen much from Johnstone today but i would put this down to still needs to full out if he is to play against stout defending teams. Christie manages this due the loaned out spell he had, would maybeput wee MJ down to a championship or an Aberdeen/ Killie on loan give him the experience and time to build his body up.Would you have made the same changes today as Lennie?
Starting with three wingers ( Forrest , Sinclair and Johnson ) was a gamble - but then the whole first half we did not not allow them to play on the wings- seemed odd . Against a packed defence we should be using the full width of the pitch - so , wide men on both flanks . Too often we chose to play through the middle .
Got what we deserved in the end - but we are crying out for an out and out centre forward - Eddy is not that man , that is not his game . We are not getting the best of him forcing him to play in an unaccustomed role .
Agree, but he was the only Celtic player that took players on. Too many players out there just passing the buck.Bringing hayes on before burke or weah was a strange one for me.
Strongest team every time v hordeco
Bain, Ajer, Boyata, Benkovic, KT, Broonie, CalMac, Bitton(unless Rogic fit), Eddie, Weah,
Burke. Thoughts.

late winner against Killie, even later against Hearts, blank against Aberdeen and injury time winner against second bottom Dundee. It's not scintillating stuff. I see concern not panic, too many players just going through the motions. Of course it's difficult when teams just park the bus.No.
