The Huddle Breakdown

It’s an all new episode of The Huddle Breakdown Extra Time. This week, Martin and the boys review Willie Collum’s VAR YouTube debut; thumbs up or thumbs down for the new SFA initiative (Has audio confirmed Kris Boyd in the VAR room?!). Before that, we talk about Hearts and what the game at the weekend might look like, and take a deep dive into our right back options.

Join the team during this international break as we review Celtic’s season so far and take a trip around the league. We take a closer look at Aberdeen and the strength of the other teams, including tactical surprises at St Johnstone, Tavernier’s importance to Rangers, and how our next opponents, Hearts, are playing. 

James fights for his position on the pod as Martin asks him, ‘what were you thinking?’, we look at the problems facing a struggling Rangers and the guys share their thoughts on squad now that the transfer window is shut.

Join the team as we relive the magic of Celtic’s 3-0 triumph over Rangers. We discuss the standout performers, the tactics behind the victory and ask the question…will Rangers be able to finish best of the rest? 

For this episode, the team are joined by Patrick Caskie to discuss the weekend's fixture, we talk Champions League (how kind was that draw?) and we look at the transfer dealings of the week.

At the start of a busy week for Celtic, Laura, Alan and James look back at the weekend’s game against St Mirren and wonder when are we going to be tested? We take a deep dive into the team’s pressing, James benchmarks some potential new signings and we say a fond farewell to Matt O’Riley.

We are thrilled to welcome Laura Bradburn as new host of The Huddle Breakdown. Martin will also be back amidst an expanded offering from the channel that we’ll be able to give more details about in the near future. This week, the team talk about Maeda playing as a striker, what the stats say about Celtic’s start to the season, Celtic in comparison to our European peers and the potential impact of losing Matt O’Riley and Reo Hatate in the same transfer window.

We look back at the highlights and the lowlights as an average Celtic performance was enough to beat an awful Hibs side. What does this say about the standard of the league? Too many players, not enough quality; we take a deep dive into the current Celtic squad and a closer look at Adam Idah and Bojan Miovski. Did we get it right, or did Girona? 

The Huddle Breakdown is back for another season! This week, Alan and James are joined by Laura Bradburn from Thoughts on the Hoops who is filling in for our friend Down Under, Enda Coll. We dissect a promising start to the season and discuss the predictable lack of transfer activity from the club.
