We are signing blokes from the 4th tier in England ffs. We have no new revenue streams, have vandalised potential revenue streams, and show no signs of any new revenue streams.

It's not the players' ability that's in question tbh but their tactical instruction. I have absolutely no doubt that we have a squad more than capable to put up a title challenge and beat every team in the league. With a few handy results here and there we could have made it close but Warburton has made changes to our style of play that have made us very easy to play against and just invites sides to sit in and defend. We aren't quick enough in possession and dont move the ball around quickly enough. Take a look at Man City's goal against Swansea the other night. Look how quickly the players move and create passing opportunites and how quickly the ball is moved on. Then look how slowly we do things. Folk said Barton and Niko slowed our play down. Neither was anywhere to be seen until late on today and we were just as slow and toothless. Now, if that's Dave King's fault I'd LOVE to hear why. EDIT: Here's that goal Why have you absolutely no doubt we have a team capable of putting up a title challenge?what have the bulk of the squad and the gaffer done in their careers to warrant that belief Im not having a go at your opinion here btw, just curious as to why you think it?

There's a few reasons tbh. Take our squad/starting XI and compare it to any other team in the league. There would be very few I'd swap out for another club's player. Even taking the XI who started yesterday, on paper at least, we have one of the strongest squads in the league. In the games we've played so far this season we've typically dominated the game and never really looked like losing, bar Celtic, and our biggest trouble is killing teams off. If it was the other way round and we were under the kosh constantly then I'd maybe think we had a poorer quality of player than I thought but we are still having the bulk of games, just not doing anything with it. I don't think we're far away tbh. More intensity in our play would make a world of difference. We're just too lethargic on the ball and it makes it easy to defend against. In terms of the what the manger has done to make me think that, truth is it's nothing to do with his abilities that make me think we should be challenging. Any manager in charge of this squad of players should be capable of making a credible challenge to Celtic. And that's without even mentioning having the second highest wage bill in the country and the biggest net transfer outlay in Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's without even mentioning having the second highest wage bill in the country and the biggest net transfer outlay in Scotland. dont disagree tbh, our squad is better than the rest of the league bar celtic's, and i still believe that we will finish 2nd this season, but i think thats purely down to the diddies all smacking each other about from time to time, and squad depth during winter etc being in our favour, basically they will drop more daft points i think this has all the signs of PLG's season, we did dominate teams as well, played nice stuff, only we were a bombscare at the back, i said at that time he should have been given the full season to see if he had learned anything, and was shot down in flames, but if you remember right when walter came back the first thing he did was spend nearly 5million quid in the january window on 3 players, plus 2 freebie centre halfs who would actually defend, PLG's squad was better than everyone elses bar the tarriers, but it still wasnt close to a title challenging team, could be the same hee tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to mix it up, keep the opposition guessing, trying to walk it into the net is too predictable and almost impossible unless you are Man City or Barca.

It was definitely not the boards fault at the time. Anything as long as they can have a kick at the board. To me it's the Management and the board, i always blame the board but i cant blame them for spending all the money in Midfield(overloading) when the defence was so poor.

The fitness thing is a mystery to me tbh. We looked incredibly fit last season, rumours going around that we were mentioned as one of the fittest teams in the UK. This season we look flat and jaded, i understand the pre-season wasn't ideal for the gaffer but that's up to him to recognise that and adapt. Something he doesn't do tactically so who knows if he can change it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim beam 2,188 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The board haven't invested enough cash in the team no argument from me on that.But the shambles right now cannot be laid solely at their door,the manager must take the blame and the players. As said above we have on paper the second highest wage bill and invested more money than the rest of them bar the tarriers,what I wan't to know is why Warburton has decided to neglect the defensive frailties that have been obvious for a good while,did he want to strengthen but had no cash? If he had the backing but chose to ignore it then no shouting about DK or PM will change things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
