All the backing he`s had and we`re back to being relegation fodder. Unacceptable.
Poor attack he never been able to fix, Slow starts, never been able to fix and now in freefall. I had high hopes for him but it`s just getting worse. apart for three games we`ve been very poor since November.

I’m not quite in the Lennon out camp yet, extremely disappointed with his tactics, the way we start a lot of games, never addressing the striker situation and his signings are questionable. It’s different players, different management and different owners, but like the last few seasons hoping to avoid relegation to League One seems to be the best we can achieve.

I think he needs to figure it out but for balance we are closer to the promotion play offs right now than we are to the relegation play offs. We also have 2 games in hand over Airdrie.

What’s annoying me about Lennon is he knows what’s wrong as he points it out in his post match interviews.
But if he’s unable to correct this then that would suggest he’s not the man for the job. Presumably quite a few of this seasons signings are his players?

Likely the biggest budget outwith the two relegated teams and i`d be very surprised if he himself isn`t the highest paid manager in the league.
Cup run is buying him a bit of leeway but Mr Bord must be having a few serious concerns.
Stick with him, get the rest of the dead wood out the door in the summer and back him some more.

Jealous there was only Todd and mullan in today’s team who were here last season.
What makes you think getting the high earners away and bringing in new players is going to work next season?
We’ve brought in Morrison recently and he doesn’t look like a top half championship player so far.

Correct about him pointing out issues after games, but the next game is the same. What`s the problem ? Does he give them the hairdryer treatment maybe, who knows.
It only looks like, to us, as a manager/coach he struggles without big pots of cash or having the best players.
He needs to start proving he`s better than that or his time will be up soon.

I just wonder if NL has got board with the challenge and just expected it to happen without putting in too much effort. Championship is a different beast from the SPL.
We just don’t seem to close down teams. I actually think our back 3 were looking great Mullen, Abdulai and Ngwenya now we are leaking goals and these guys seem to have lost their confidence! Keeper situation as a nightmare. Mehmet is just too unreliable and just sells games!!

There’s bound to be managers out there that have the ability to manage a team and get them up for a game.
We have a good squad on paper and if the manager can’t get them playing that’s on him to an extend.
McPake had a better home record than Lennon and was punted, unfairly IMO, as he wasn’t backed.

Absolutely scandalous that we’re scrapping with the likes of Morton and airdrie now considering the clear gulf in budgets. Morrison, Kearney, Fraser, Abdulai, Rudden.. all signed for transfer fees. Arguably the most backed manager in our history when it comes to the number of players bought, not signed on free transfers.

We are rudderless on the pitch, we have no leader, making Mullen Captain presumably to encourage him to sign a new deal , unfortunately he is not captain material and perhaps not as good as himself and his agent think he is albeit he is a good player who could do with another couple of seasons with us . The only other Captain would be Benny who is probably coming to the end of his career or Hamilton who can,t stay on the pitch long enough to be a leader. we need someone with a bit of drive an enthusiasm to push the young lads forward

This season was always going to be about building a team and giving young players experience. I had hoped we would achieve a top four finish, but that is looking more and more unlikely on recent form lets be honest. The biggest challenge is getting in forward players. In this league you need a big strong forward line as it is more about physically being able to pressure defences. I appreciate playees coming in on loan, but you really need your own players in those key positions.
Defensively I like JCM and Nuru but we leak goals so there is a bit of an issue there. Teams are getting behind us and causing us problems. We have a reputation of losing goals early. Not a good reputation to have. I think we need Bene back as captain even if we play are three at the back.
Much talk of JCM moving on. Im not sure of the situatoon, but if he wants to move on, you cant stand in his way. I would be happy to see MFW back even for a fee. He chipped in with goals.

8 wins from 24 league games is poor given the backing Lennon has had. McPake would’ve done better IMO if he had been give the same budget. Lennon is a flat track bully who is used to having everything his own way at Celtic.
