I didn't speak to any Celtic fans, to be honest.

I just had a look at the game myself and just was really disappointed with what I saw.

Firstly, when the first goal goes in for St Mirren, Marcus Fraser, I felt sick for Wilfred Nance because I know how...

how disappointing that would have been after the week they've had and that goal goes in it's the last thing you need to play against a counter-attacking team similar to Hearts in terms of when you're looking to sit back and soak up the pressure the last thing you need is the team that are going to soak up the pressure to score the goal because then it gives them something to hold on to so they score that early you know it's going to be difficult and it takes Celtic to get going 20 minutes into the game they get going the intensity lifts it's absolutely brilliant

it's good play no great play it's good play till half time and then just kind of never gets anywhere after that they sit in a Celtic sort of try and play they huff and puff and don't really create many chances and it looked like a group of players kind of with a lot on their mind and a lot of information to process and it made them look kind of unfitting

Yeah, not too sure on what their jobs were and it was disappointing.

It was well deserved for St Mirren and disappointing to see.

Yeah, Barry's talking there about the changes they made and that's exactly how I saw it as well.

And Steve Robinson said that after the game.

I just think Maeda, Celtic play four in the midfield central area, a box or whatever you want to call it, with two sixes, two holding midfielders and two number tens.

And that's to overload the midfield area against St Mirren's three.

Now, the detail of it is you need four players in there that are natural sort of midfielders or creative midfielders.

and Maida played up as a striker which made it three in there against three and that allowed Celtic not to control the game for long spells so small details in it that I saw whether it's Maida's natural position which it isn't he's not a natural 10 or whether the instruction wasn't given to him he kind of dropped deeper and plays more as a midfielder because when he did do it that's when Celtic did get through a few times against that extra man in the midfield area they didn't do it he locked his cell onto a centre-half and Marcus Fraser dealt with him well I just think

Celtic just looked like they had too much going on in their heads which made them look unfit at times their legs had gone I know it was the third game in a week and a real hard game against Roma the scary thing for me Paul is under Wilfred Nance so far Celtic's best half an hour was against Hearts in the first game so you'd expect it from that moment to then get better now I'm not

I know he's been in the it's been 12 12 days today he's been in the door I think a lot's happened in that 12 days and there's been a standing behind that dugout on the Plymouth right behind the Celtic dugout and seeing everything unfold in close quarters it just felt so disconnected now we know the board there's a bit of disconnect between the board the fans and the players and now there's a connection

a lack of connection between the players and the manager I can see Could you see that yesterday?

I could see that yesterday between the staff and the players which wasn't there obviously under Martin O'Neill and it's

you could probably get away with the board being a wee bit disconnected at times, but the minute that's disconnected, it's clear as day on the pitch.

And I just feel that, I mean, it kills me to say it, Paul, because I feel for Nancey and I feel it's really early and I can empathise with him in terms of being there as a manager, stood in that, albeit it was only at Kelly Hearts, but still in context for me, I still was obviously wanting to do well.

And I know the feeling of
