Celtic v Norwich

Well whatched the game last night and to be honest I don't know what to make of it, I mean when Mowbray was here we had a great pre-season friendlies but start of the season was a shocker, so I hope we are not reading to much into this.

I am suprised by Lennon didn't sign Beattie always liked this player and proved this in the semi final of the scottish cup last season, Now I know Lennon wasn't thier last night but with a very important game coming up next Wednesday, we need to start finding the net, as I am sure if we don't do well in europe this season, or even make the CL group stages, it will cost us big time come the end of next seaon
Does anyone know why Lennon wasn't at the game last night ????

Now what i will say is perhaps the system didnt suit but there was little to say that a change could be of benefit. Why is he being loaned to any club? Is he another enigma that gets better when they dont play?
================================
He is a striker who is best in the box getting on the end of things..........the kind of striker we needed when we bought him & still need now. He has scored goals whilst being on loan & hit a few last week for the development team & has to be worth a half for the first team ahead of Murphy FFS!!!

I agree his overall game is not great, but we are wanting a guy to be a target man, get on the end of things not hit a 50 yard pass

Lets be honest here do you think our squad will make the CL group stages ?

We will make the Europa, but last season again we did nothing in that, we are shipping out the deadwood, and so far Forester is the only buy, now I honestly thought we would have had another new face before the first leg of the CL quailfier.

For me next week Lennon needs to go with Stokes and Hooper to to start I think we need a 2 goal lead to take to there ground as like I have said our away record in europe is shocking.

as for couldn't care less about ticket prices, if Celtic carry on doing fleck all in the qualifiers, and with Rangers missing for 3 seasons or more the board may struggle to sell them.

Ditto Badr.

Whoa Dave...easy there...that goal against McGregor ?? lest we forget....

In all honesty while we have got rid of a few there is clearly more passengers to go from this team and most can agree who they are...

I am however willing to give Bangura the first half of the season assuming he gets through with no injuries. Its a bit of a change coming into the SPL so he deserves a bit of a break.

I would also say that the same of Ki should be pushed through to give Lenny a bit of scope on funds for players or else it the last week in August and free transfers or loans again....

He has signed some great players, Dave.

Wanyama, Kayal, Matthews for a start. These three will move to better leagues without a doubt.

That header Bangura missed at Tynecastle was a portent of what was to come.

I would love him to be a success tafka

He said we were a stepping stone to the premiership. Right now that stepping stone is more like the forth road bridge.

We should get to CL group stages

In saying that I know little really about Helsinki or many of the other teams we may face should we get through to the playoff.

I would be tempted to go one upfront but as I said having not seen anything of Helsinki its hard to call.

Most sides now play one up top and pack the midfield with 2 wide players supporting - would not fancy playing 2 upfront & getting overan in the midfield. We have had this happen in the SPL so can;t allow it to happen in a big game like this.

My point about finances is that I'd rather the fans & club as a whole wanted to be in the CL to improve our name across Europe, put us back on the map, attract better players, keep our better players etc rather than saying "Yeah we qualified and got £10m prize money
"
