    This is where JR is gonna have to earn his money. When we beat AZ..it was very much a ful team performance..it just clicked. The royal pumping we got in the return leg has made it very easy for individuals to blame other people for the performance.. We have seen it on here, its the keeprs fault, its the defenses fault..our midfield is too weak, the strikers aren't doing enough in the final third. In reality...this is exactly what is wrong...every player in every position including the management was not at 100%. We win as a team and lose as a team! The only way we are going to get ourselves out if this hole is by everybody being aware of their own failings as collectively..those failings have caused rhe team to fail. I hope that the team have had a "all cards on the table" clear the air talk with some home truths given to every single one of them. They have to create a siege mentality and work together as a team to get us out of this mess! This could be a catalyst for us but could just as easily break the team beyond repair. The management team/captain are gonna have to work really hard to get everybody back together. We have a role as supporters to help create the siege mentality....we have shown time and time again that we will do this. The Celtic game comes at a horrible time for us but we have to go into this game and play it like its a cup final. Only time will tell if we look likely to turn the corner..but it's a soul destroying start to the season...but a few wins could be the turning point for us.

    By all accounts they had a clear the air talk before the St Mirren game. Lot of good that was.

    I totally agree.

    Supposedly lots of rumours JR is walking out.
    Surely just rumours his career would be basically over if he just walked away and don’t think we’ll panic just yet. It’s not even that bad. St mirren result is first one that was an unexpected result just performances been really poor. Just need to steady the ship again. Think everyone just in tailspin after alkmaar result. They went on and pumped Vicente 4-0 so they’re seriously good team

    He was accused in the past for being too defensive minded. He will will want to be ultra defensive now. Never mind attractive attacking for now.

    Can't see Ross walking in what would be a football suicide and I don't see us firing him either.

    I don't really care which signing was his and which was Tony's, he's got some very good players, he needs to coach them.

    Starting 541 on Sunday with at least one pacy player in the 4. It may not get us a result but we need to stop being overwhelmed.
