You want us to be better than last season? That was an exceptional and unique season. We only drew four times and didn't lose at all domestically. Yet, although we have dropped more points this season and lost a game, we are miles ahead in the league, have retained the League Cup, still on course for a historic 2nd treble in a row. Assuming we kick on as I believe we will after the winter break and don't have an off day in the Cup, if we go on to win another treble, are you still going to say we have regressed? Because the only reason I can think for such an opinion at this stage is that we have dropped more points this time. People asked at the end of last season how we would top it because it was as near perfect as you can get. With great difficulty is the answer but it seems to me that is what some people seem to expect. Certainly going by some of the crowd at the game today.HAIL HAIL |

I know Brendan has worked wonders with the team and I really appreciate it as a fan but surely, as fans, we can voice opinions on how we are progressing. I personally think too many players are not reaching the heights they did last season and hopefully the break will recharge their batteries. I also think we need to look at how we cope with teams who have sussed us out at the back and change things around.:

Totally agree that we are regressing at an alarming rate. The currant buns are rotten and they still out played us for long periods today We have too many players who hide when the going gets tough. Take away Brown, Griffiths and Tierney and we have a team of guys who are not prepared to fight for the jersey at any cost. |

I see the Tynecastle high-pressing tactical masterstroke is back again. We don’t “collapse” as soon as a side presses us high up the park. |

Most disappointing thing was the dembele sub. A change of tactics/system was required. We had done nothing in the second half. |

He hardly got the better of him. He has had two points off us. I don't want them even getting the snot from my nose but, if we aren't going to win these games then not losing is the next best thing. Had our chances gone in in the first half, the second half would have been very different. The fact that they cheered like they scored whenever they won a throw-in and celebrated a 0-0 like they'd won the league should tell you all you need to know about how close they are to us and they, and Murty, are nowhere near "getting the better" of Brendan or Celtic. ![]() HAIL HAIL |

You are perfectly free to voice your opinion on how we are progressing. And other posters are perfectly free to respond to that opinion. |

Lost points compared to last season but still in Europe , over all i'd say we're in a slightly better position. As for recent form , it was the same last year in December , rank at times , with games being won by a baw hair. In mid- December 16 we beat Hamilton Dundee and Partick by only one goal , all at home , it was dire watching. |

We're still in Europe due to nothing more than an enormous slice of luck, much like our league form this season, our European form is not at the level it was last year. |

This isn't the first time we've played so many games up to New Year, probably close to as many as last season, so no excuses there. We look a completely different team from last season. Roberts and Rogic being out was a huge factor today. Thumb-banged by 4 off Hearts then a draw today against Murty's Maestros. The teams tired? Then play other players. No way on this earth should we have drew today with the squad we have compared to the insolvents. That lies squarely at the feet of BR. |

Easily our best player when he came on. McGregor has been poor for a while, not by any means the only player toiling but that’s not the point. A few threads in meltdown which is the norm after a result like this. If we had lost it would have been ten times worse and made the Tynecastle debacle look like a dust up at a toddler group. |

We generally do. St Johnstone, Huns and Hearts have all had huge success with it. Aberdeen in the Scottish cup final is really the only time domestically we've stood up to a team really coming after us. |
