Do you believe in Mark Warburton?

[Gaz52 11,837]

So after only 5 games in the top flight and one of them being an Old Firm, he's under extreme pressure, I personally believe his team choice and game-plan was all wrong on Saturday and has been every game this season. 

I wrongly called for his head on Saturday though, as I do believe in him as a manager. I believe he knows how to play and knows how to win, he showed it last season with us and before that he done very well with Brentford. 

I'm no expert but I think he's been a bit naive, he probably thought this league was going to be easy enough to get through but the size of the challenge and the expectations of Rangers fans should now be evident and I fully expect to see a turnaround. 

We played those cunts at completely the wrong time, they're flying high, we're still trying to piece the jigsaw, Old Firm hammerings happen sometimes, it's all about how we bounce back now.

[cr3_bear 14,830]

I am not giving up on him yet , however the start has been abysmal  but the next few weeks are his biggest test . We need to find form now because Celtic will dip at some point and we need to be ready for it and be in a position to apply as much pressure as we can 

[jackrfc95 4,255]

I believe in him. Yes its been a difficult start but its not been a complete disaster IMO.

If we win our next 3 games we'll be at least 5 points clear of the sheep and in the league cup semi final.

[theiconicman 2,991]

Excuses. 

He needs to change his approach and I'm not sure he can bend.

[Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312]

I'm certain he is but he needs the same tools as the tranny perv from across the city. Otherwise he's toast.

[Getstiffed 8,863]

Considering where we were little over 12 months ago, what he's had to work with and the legacy of the last 4 years locked round our necks like a billion ton weight, I think he's done alright.

If you'd given me second place and 2 cup runs at the start of the season I would have taken it.

[trueblueal 2,117]

I expect we will revert to a more mobile midfield. There will be casualties but Warbs won't be one of them 

[RFC55 108,802]

If he gets back to his main principles yes.

A quick dynamic midfield 3. The high pressing. 

But accommodating big name players just because of who they are rather than  form should see him criticised. Ally was absolutely slaughtered for the same and I believe he should be too.

I really do like him. He's good to listen too and his outlook on the game is refreshing but before its too late I hope he starts to pick a high intensity midfield.

He also needs a settled front 3 bt due to injuries etc it's been pretty stop start. Sadly for him were he's been before winning 3 drawing 2 and losing 2 ain't terrible. Here it's a fucking disaster. Huge month ahead

[GOAT 30,449]

Aye, but he's shown how naive he's been this season so far.

I think many would have however if we drop 7 points every month and a half we could end up nearly 30 points behind many will not accept that.

 

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

He had my full backing until the abysmal end to the season and his signings this season followed by our terrible start. 

He seems incapable of picking the right team and seems blinded by the big names he signed, he has a lot to do to convince me he is the manager we need. 

[Zulu 981]

If he keeps playing Barton & Nico together he wont last

None of us should accept it and unless MW was being disingenuous he knows it too.

[thehost 11,061]

I believe he has no real understanding of th4e levels of expectation at Rangers. He was garbling on about a good start, before the filth match ffs. That is towards the point of delusion.

[Sweetheart 8,458]

Do you believe in Mark Warburton?

YES!

[scott12003 711]

I think the way MW wants to play football requires a pair of good pacey defenders something we have not got or has not been addressed.

In all honesty 30 points behind the mHank's this season would probably still get us second place. I don't think we will finish that far behind them though!

[.Williamson. 82,145]

The board only want 2nd place this year

[Prso's headband 35,428]

I think he is the man to take us forward and I do believe in him. 

He needs to get back to basics in the midfield especially. We all know the defence is a horror show, that isn't gona change maybe Senderos will shore it up a bit but goals win you games and from the middle to front we've been so poor and slow. 

His midfield needs to be Barton/Rossiter Windass and Forrester. 

He needs to find the solution and fast or he won't last. I hope he does and if we get it right and go on a good 10-15 game run I'll start to believe again

[Tiger Shaw 30,454]

His two biggest test so far, Scottish cup final and the mhanks in their midden have been a disaster, his summer signings have so far let him down and failure to sort out the defence issues have left me seriously doubting he has what it takes.  With the sheep and hearts away fixtures coming up in the next few weeks we'll soon find out what he's all about.. Seems to me though that he's lost his magic

Hope to fuck he proves me wrong

Good post mate, think you speak for most of us here, we need to see the high pressing back. I think Windass will be a huge player for us this season and hopefully when Holt returns, those two can have a good understanding 

[TEFTONG 60,092]

I do indeed believe in MW. Reading his quotes about wanting to ram the words of the print media up here down their throats gives me plenty of optimism that he will work flat out to achieve this. I do hope the players are up to the task..

[KeyserSoze 14,531]

If he looses his stubborn streak then we will fly.

If not, then that will be his undoing I'm afraid.

I'm giving him my backing 100%

 

[AljayBoy 2,298]

Aye, I believe he’s the best man for us at this point in time.

But change needs to happen and fast, and as much as it pains me to say it, I’m hoping that the club will learn from the scum and take action asap. After we beat them in the semi, they punted their manager; spent big bucks to bring in a new manager; continued to spend big bucks on better players.

We need this defeat to be our watershed for us, we need King to get out his wallet; and Warburton to recognise his tactical failings and make adjustments. We can’t buy anyone for a few months but the scouting can happen now, so that leaves my main wish being Warburton having the guts to make the necessary changes.

If the above doesn’t happen then it could conceivably be a different manager this time next year.

[Turnberry18 3,204]

He needs to be ruthless and courageous in his team selection- anyone playing in that side should be there on merit. He could start by dropping McKay and Halliday, and if they don't up their game the way Tavernier has taken his to a new level then they should spend longer on the sidelines. McKay is capable of a lot more than he is giving but he needs to add intensity and consistency to his game, the way he did for much of last season. It's time for Mark Warburton to make these tough decisions that may involve players being unhappy, but they should only be in the team on current form.
