The Manager Marks: Celtic (Home, 01 Oct 2016)

[TheDarkBlues]

The Manager Marks is how you feel our manager is doing on a game by game basis. This is not an opportunity to slate the manager, but to give a fair assessment on how you think he is doing.

Result:

Dundee 0 : 1 Celtic

[8utters]

Thought PH got it right today. Celtic have better players who are in great form and we stifled them. 1-0 was a lot better than most of us expected (feared).

[Gedee]

Think he got it just about bang on ...

I'm no sure Dundee scoring, was ever really on the menu today. But overall good ( Both he & team, kept their cool)

[BigG]

Playing a back five today was correct, They all played really well defensively-special mention to Gomes who was excellent. 

Im not sure the 2 up front will score double figures, Elbac runs about a lot but he won't score many playing like he does, still think Milli vanilla is a bit off the pace and needs games. 

[Derry Drummer]

Late to the party but good team. 

Adequate tactics. 

[Travellingdee]

I only see the game on TV so only  feel I can only comment on the overall performance of the team, and I felt we only got tore into them for the last ten minites of the game why can't we do that for ninety minites.

Oh dear. That combined with a weaker team compared to last season won't  end well.

Surely having the energy to press in the last 10 mins after spending 80 mins chasing the ball around is completely contrary to the point you are trying to make?

I'd suggest it's more realistic that Hartley (rightly or wrongly) decided to keep it fairly tight for as long as possible in the hope we'd nick one from a set piece or breakaway, when that never happened and it hit 80 mins he decided it was make or break and threw boys forward in the hope of salvaging a good home point.

I genuinely dont think we are fit enough. Do you?

What is fit enough? I think we are fit enough, I think we lack a bit of pace.

Pace and fitness are not the same.

I think it's more to do with Hartley's extreme caution against any of the "top" sides. Once we'd fallen behind there was nothing to lose.

We'll probably see more of the same tomorrow.
