BR in one game today made more formation changes than RD (and I really really wanted this guy to succeed) did in two years in charge He's already won more "big games" than RD did.........wasn't 100% convinced by his signing (probably as I haven't watched the EPL in the last 10 yrs so honestly don't know much about the guy) so I am very very happy

We haven't been great since he took over but we are getting results and certainly showing signs that wee might start to look like a real Celtic team again. It's a fine margin but BR has got us through where last season we would have maybe not quite made it. The board must show some faith and get the targets he asks for. |

He's giving us our Celtic back ![]() I just love that he's not afraid to make a change. Rogic for O'Connell didn't necessarily win us the game, but too many managers (Ronny Deila) would have withdrawn McGregor or Dembele and stuck to the same system which wasn't working and tried (hoped) to muddle through. But not Brendan. Again, it may not have been the game changer but it unsettled Hearts at a time when they were really on top. When we really click and have guys like Sviatchenko and Roberts fit we're going to be a real joy. |

A lot done but a lot more to do. He shows tactical flexibility. Willing to change formation mid game rather than dogmatically adhere to something which doesn't work. Also willing to hook players on the hour mark rather than leaving it too late to make a meaningful change. Our mentality has also improved, we could easily have crumbled in any of our last 3 games under the previous regime. We seem to be pressing with a better tempo than before when out of possession. We need to be better in possession though, we're quite laboured and uninventive. I've every faith it will come good with a bit more work and improved personnel. Success breeds positivity and thus far it's been working out, it's just important than we win until it falls into place. |

Took a huge gamble to go to what was effectively a 3-2-5, got the goal, changed back to a 4-4-2 to see the game out. Loving having a quality manager at CP!

Hopes to have two more soon. Also said the referee apologised to him after the game for getting the penalty decision wrong (the one he gave). |

Thought the same, even the goals - particularly our first. Did well today - we'll play better but good to see us winning whilst not at our best. |

Not the first time his necessary changes have won us a game. Impressive so far.
