TMB 14,167 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 If Gerrard leaves we’ll be a team in free fall again. He needs the summer to address whatever issues are going on with this team. Ditch the ones that aren’t good enough or don’t have the mentality. Bring in a few quality additions to take us up a few levels. Not quantity over quality like last summer!

Needs to: Get 4 or 5 in who will add quality to that preferred style. Fire off half a dozen who contribute nothing. And most importantly identify alternative tactics and formations. There is more than one way to skin a cat but we just keep hacking away with a blunt knife. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rolle 514 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Progress under Gerrard has been good. This season again, were already 25 points ahead of 3rd place (if I assume 3 points for the game in hand). Last season we ended up 11 points ahead of 3rd. Do you remember the two seasons prior? Where we were being compared with Aberdeen? We also have a European game to look forward to - in February!! We are just trying to catch up with them. The ones who’ve had a free go at titles and CL money for years. We will also overtake them soon at this rate. We’re not quite there yet, but anyone who wants to throw the towel in at this stage isn’t thinking straight. It might be next year, it might be the year after. We can’t expect to make it happen just because they are on 9 or 10 iar. They are tainted anyway. That stat will always have * next to it. There’s still much to fight for this season - we must fight all the way for the league - even if we come up short. Let’s win the Scottish cup. And let’s see how far this European adventure will take us. Stevie G should be given more time, until there is no more progress, until then I’m behind him 100% and more importantly I believe he will deliver 55 and more.

Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It just feels now that every game he is/we are chipping away waiting for sonething to happen rather than changing things and making something happen. He needs to learn the ability to change things/adapt to circumstsnces. His plan A has worked so well this season until lately where it has been found out. Today we were lucky and had Dykes shot went in qe would mostly be calling for his head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We said the exact same last summer & Gerrard went out and signed Edmunson, Hastie, Jones, Stewart & Kent came in on deadline day after the taigs defeat He's had a small fortune to spend in his time as manager and the vast majority of his signings have been piss poor so really dont get why we should be trusting him with another large budget in the summer (providing Morelos goes to give us the budget) He has to prove in the remaining games that he can get the team back to beating the rest of the shite in the league, our issues have been against them, not the taigs. He shouldn't need to spend more money to be beating them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOPLITE 221 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I know we are all angry and frustrated at the way we have played sinse we came back from the winter break. If we can get going again would it be considered a successful season for talkings sake we won the Scottish cup, finished second, we lost in the league cup final due to some cheating linesman and ref plus we missed a host of chances...........our progress in Europe has been off the scale lets face it over past two seasons no-one would have imagined we do what we've done in that field. If we are to topple them for the title we will need a lot of investment in quality players where that's coming from is anyone guess I think there is a lot of work to be done is Gerrard the man to take us there time will tell. We need a trophy and the Scottish looks our best bet this season I just wonder if we had won the league cup I think we would be in a better place.

gmcf 34,152 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Dont think hes lost the dressing room , but we're certainly going through a lack of confidence right now , probably brought on by losing at Hearts , and with little rebound , the panic has now set in , both on the park and in the stands. Three and a half weeks of turgid shite shouldn't undo what progress weve made this season , and the only way I see SG leaving Rangers is if he feels he doesnt have the backing of the fans - thank fuck he doesnt read RM .

At some point we have to reestablish the idea that not winning the league is a failed season. Especially when half way through we're top or serious contenders. I'll be honest. I love the fact we're doing well in Europe, but I would have taken getting knocked out the qualifiers if it meant winning the league. I know mate but atm the league looks out of our reach so we will need to do some serious work in the summer for next season I agree we need to get back to winning the league on a regular basis but for this season I would love us to win a trophy and the Scottish looks our best bet, lets face if we don't they probably will.
