THE NOTAPRODDYGAL – 4/10 – Well, the boss’s crown is slipping. And he looks like he knows it. Yet, will he do anything to counter the intransigence costing his reputation dearly? He’s being bailed out by Ange’s signings and his are stuttering poorly. The Idah half-time sub today was debatable, probably agreeable BUT but hooking Jota on 69 minutes with Idah still on the park and invisible… Well, to hell with that. Nobody likes to see a sub subbed, but when the ego sacrifices a born ‘Skelper at a pivotal time to save such face, then there’s deservedly no hiding place. It was a crazy call. And probably cost us the game.

Daizen back down the middle for the last twenty and Jota and Yang flying on the wings and the Zombies are pinned and eviscerated. Instead, we lost a major piece of the armoury who was terrifying them and needs only a brief flurry of monumental seconds to win a game.
It’s almost a microcosm of last season’s reluctance to play Kyogo – and play TO Kyogo – only taking the title when he did. Hopefully now that the ego’s been duly humbled, the ruthless Broge can reassert psychological dominance and utilise the power of the id to set things right before the season’s done. And that concludes your Freudian analysis for another miserable Sunday…

Lost the battle, the war still there.
There aren’t enough sweary words in the dictionary to describe yesterday’s performance. Are you sure Idah was on the park.and not some ghostly doppelganger?
Idah has been rotten since he came here on loan. One tap in rebound to win the cup last year had the majority of our fans demanding the board spent the money on him. Hearts certainly ruled heads in that instance.
Brendan must see that for over 270 minutes of football against Sevco, they have pressed and hurried our players into calamitous mistakes, leading to two gutless defeats and a win on penalties. When will he make the required adjustments and start training with tempo. I’ve never seen so many passes from a Celtic team not find their target in the last two games against Sevco. All because our players don’t get the usual time on the ball they do in other games, they are hurried, get nervous and ping it to space, out of play or even to a blue shirt. It has to be addressed immediately.
