Celtic play in Europe year in year out because it is a Micky mouse league. How many points are the clear this year FFS. They still play in Europe though - you dont have a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I was having a quiet think about this today. I have been a critic of the tactics employed by Carlos this season but maybe he has got it absolutely right. We were never really in the hunt for a top two place and if the play-offs can be reached exerting minimal effort, surely that has to be the way to go. Last season's high octane, high energy stuff was exciting but over 49 games, it really must be phenomenally draining. Let the rivals run themselves into the ground this time round while we keep plenty in reserve for April and May. I can actually see the sense in that kind of plan, if that is indeed what Carlos has in his mind. Win on Saturday and the justification will certainly be there to see.

Thats the point many of those leagues are closed shops in relation to European football arent they?

shezzas left peg Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 On 25/02/2017 at 21:14, Think tank said: Some people need to realise it's all relative. If Carlos had the budget Stuart Gray had I'd be thinking he is working wonders. He has the biggest budget of any manager in recent history. With that comes increased expectations, it is totally tinpot, to just sit and say oh but look where we were. We aren't in that place anymore. We have an owner is splashing big cash and a manager who is not getting the best out of his team. He is paid good money, he is rightly so under pressure. If you look back, some managers do really well in moulding a cheaply built tight knit unit on a shoestring budget compared to those around them, managers through the years like big Sam, redknap Tony pulis "I hate to mention them" but king pig warnock and Holloway. Thing is when they were given money to spend they were quite frankly out of there depth and squandered it badly resulting in a mess of a team of individuals. Carlos did well with a couple of good signings added to the cheap bargains we already had, but since the cash has been firmly spent, we seem to have gone a little backwards as most of the expensive signings. I'm not going to slate anyone in particular, haven't really kicked us on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMacLean Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 That opinion of him has been correct many times this season, and whilst it's great he's put a run together late on i think many feel it shouldn't have come to this.Hopefully he has now redeemed himself but could have easily gone the other way. Most have always liked him and wanted him to succeed so at least he's always had it in his own control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think our squad is so self-evidently fantastic that 78 points from 44 games, and 15 home wins should be taken for granted. It could easily have gone the other way is true, but cuts both ways too. In the parallel universe where Hooper is fit all season we can still catch Newcastle for the second auomatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Where we are now is probably about where we should be. We've just made it much more difficult than it should have been. Several missed opportunities this season. Still think back to that penalty at the AMEX and where we could be now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetherave Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 We've seen t'Owls play some mega football today, and although we made a little heavy weather of it we have jumped 3 places in a little over a week. I am convinced a fit Kieran Lee would have had us in the automatic position. Wasn't it fantastic to see him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
