Cleveland-Saint Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 2nd halfs been better, but its a different celtic team that the first 30 minutes, not pushing as hard and taken the foot off the gas.

jez1971 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Correct. The untouchable, lord of the unwashed. Nice to see the bbc's usual unbiased news feed, snide remarks about us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintee in exile Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Way better in the second half.Needed the experience and work rate of Kane and Craig to steady the ship.Thought Wotherspoon had a good game. SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Pleased we kept it to 0v3 but it was more to celtic easing off than us improving. MOH not a striker we continually play him up front against celtic with no joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranmere Saintee Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 That performance shows why Hendry doesn’t get many starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Leykis Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Managed to last a whole 6 minutes without conceding, can see why Tommy is worshipped on here so much. Two up front is too attacking against Celtic for a manager like Tommy, even lower league teams seem to do better against Celtic than we do. Booth and Tanser seemed to be competing to see who could defend the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Better shape in second half. Not sure if it was because Celtic took the foot off the pedal or our subs & better shape. McCart looked better than Booth at back. Craig was better than Holt who hopefully I never see again. Kane made the defenders defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Things started to improve once someone got the message to our defence that the ban on heading the ball only applies to 12 year olds and under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just two different worlds on display here TBH the change in formation helped but even if we started with that we wouldn’t have coped with Celtic’s intensity in the first 30 minutes, They were 4-0 up against the dons couple of months ago in the first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 No injuries, minutes in fringe players, and the new signing gets 45 minutes on the park. Move on and concentrate on more important games. SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Just as well the game didn't finish at half time or team & fans would have been demoralised. Second half display with a few chances & decent defending will help us forget first half. We are also without a few decent players & would probably have expected or taken 0-3 before game.

akuram Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Mistake was not starting with Chris Kane who works hard and wins us free kicks, made such a difference when he came on. Celtic were a bit unplayable at the start and I was really worried at 3-0 but we steadied quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Id have accepted a 3-0 humping before the game. Especially if we failed to put 1 single tackle in for 45 minutes! Men v boys out there. Anyway, we tried but totally outclassed first half. I can't find any positives, I'll let TW do that. Roll on the weekend.

Abernethy Saint Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Just plucked up the courage to look at the final score. Could have been worse, and normally is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowBox Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Combination of Celtic taking the foot off the gas and positive changes from Tommy there saved us from embarrassment. Liam steadied the ship and gave us some bite and McCart looked as decent as he could given the circumstances. Duffy however is miles out of his depth. I know he is not a right back, but he was all over the shop and he knew it. Will be interesting to see how Kerr, Gordon and McCart all fit in the team if we don't play 5 at the back. For me, Kerr is the one to drop. Spoony rightfully man of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get in there. I think 2000 is more than we usually get when all ST holders turn up. League game , we don't get TV money. You also have to take account that even if we didn't give them 3 stands they would have brought a few so maybe work it out at. 2500.x ticket price. Some may be pensioners & kids.

SaintJet Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 We were awful in that first half hour - I couldn't believe how we were standing off Celtic and letting them maraud through our rearguard at will - possibly doing Celtic a disservice they were worlds apart from us. Glad we settled down in the second half and there was some tidy inter passing and a bit more dig. We have to be realsitic and take what positives there were and these have been mentioned earlier.

ss75990 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 That first 30 minutes was awful. Making far too many basic mistakes and give them far too much respect. We weren't putting them under any pressure and let them control the game. 3rd goal is the perfect example. Let there CB just walk from his own half to near enough the edge of our box without any pressure on him. You need to get in their faces. Was far too easy for them 1st half. 2nd half was better but they took the foot off the gas as well. Wasn't expecting anything at the start of the game but needing a big response on Saturday. Huge game against Hearts. Chance to get 9 points clear of them or risk being dragged near the bottom again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
