Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The template to beat Hearts is just keep your players in the vague vicinity of our back 4 and wait for them to make a catastrophic mistake. There can't be another team in the country who've gifted so many goals from so few attacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only recall them winning at home against Dundee and away to Arbroath in Friday night games. They've lost or drawn against us, Dundee, Alloa, Queen of the South and now Inverness (all away) in Friday night games.

I really don't get the slack he gets from our support, Billy Dodds gave him MOTM tonight and tbh, he knows more than some of our fans! On 21/12/2020 at 01:47, Caley Shaun said: He's a shit manager, end of story, he should get sacked before we fall any lower!!! As I've said before, he's the one that signed our worst player ever, Danny Devine!! I saw a post on Twitter which I totally agree with, it read "If that was Foran in the dugout, he'd get slated by media and fans" so why does the clown John Robertson get let off!? Alloa, Partick TWICE and Arbroath THREE times plus unacceptable results in league cup should have been enough for the sack. We need Paul Sheerin or Graham Alexander to turn our season around! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fairly sure he also lost Boyce for the goal tonight. May have been Deas, however Devine was mentioned in the replay. If you can’t see how bad he is then I’m afraid to inform you that you need an eye transplant. Thought it was strange that Dodds blamed him for the Hearts goal yet later gave him MOTM. He did have a good clearance later on in the game but I can still think of at least two defenders who were more deserving of the award. Some people don't seem to realise that a bad defender doesn't necessarily have to be one who makes blatant blunders but someone who gets the basics wrong and is frequently caught out by naivety can worsen the defence without making out and out blunders. We have the basis of a good defence - Deas, Duffy and Harper are young but definitely have potential. What we really need is a solid experienced unit in the middle. That isn't Daniel Devine and it certainly isn't Brad Mckay. Toshney and McHattie are always injured. A good centre-back in the right centre-back slot wouldn't just be an improvement in that slot but would also lift the other three up.

I’m willing to give Deas the benefit of the doubt just now, because as you say he is young, but I’ve not been impressed with him this season. Making lots of silly mistakes and seems to be getting caught out of position a lot recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's got Brad Mckay and Danny Devine as a team mate at the back. Given his age he really needs a reliable CB partner and he hasn't got that right now and I think that is hampering him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Three of our four regular starting defenders are having their first season as a full time first team player and one of the others is either Brad Mckay or Daniel Devine.

He may have been at part time clubs but he would still have been back at Celtic training for the rest of the week. Duffy as well player a fair bit for St Johnstone and knows what full time football is about. Yes, they are young and will mistakes but they know what it is like to be a full time footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deas was a first team regular for Alloa but was he training with the first team at Celtic the rest of the time? I imagine he was back training with the U20s. It's certainly, for both of them, their first seasons at a full time team where they're expecting to be starting every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, you’re probably right about Deas being in the under 20s so it would be different being in a first team set up. I’m not sure what our coaching is like as every set piece going into our box looks like we are not to concede from.

I'd heard that Robertson didn't do a lot of the training and left it to the rest of the coaches but Kellacher has been off the scene for a while. Wilson is only part time and I've heard some negative reviews about him. Not sure what input (if any) Charlie Christie has. Robbie Deas is a good example of a young centre-back who'd really thrive with a more experienced reliable type alongside him. If he had someone like Gary Warren or even Jamie McCart partnering him, he'd be all the better for it.
