Re-call Hodson from St Mirren? 😧

We are, at best, a work in progress. We still lack the quality, consistency and winning mentality it takes to win trophies. Quality - We do not have the quality in midfield or upfront to unlock a well-drilled defence. I don't believe we have the personnel for a 4-3-3. Candeias for example - and I genuinely love they guy's effort and occasional flashes of quality - is a right midfielder, not a winger. In days gone by he would have been a squad player and that is what he should be next season. Consistency - At times we have played good football - and not only against the shite teams in the league. But we have dropped points either because we can't put games away when we have been in control - losing late equalisers really pisses me off - or because we've played like no one in the team knows where the opposition goal is. Draws have fucked us in the league. Winning mentality We do not have the physical presence or grit to fight it out with teams like Aberdeen. Apart from McGregor it sometimes seems that no one's that arsed if we're losing. We need players who scream at their teammates if that's what it takes to change the game. Not sulky wee boys that become invisble. I don't expect us to change everything over the summer, but I'd want us to be buying better quality, training harder to cut down on the stupid mistakes and I would want the team to look like it gves a fuck about the result.

Playing well. And better analysis than BT sport!

November 1974, we beat Dundee Utd 4-2 at Ibrox. Jardine had a great game - scored two that day including a penalty. Also remember the last game of 74-75. We'd won the league, but we lost 1-0 at home to Airdrie. Just looked at the season on Wikipedia. We only lost three league games in total: home to Hibs and Airdrie beat us home and away!

"Nobody likes us, we don't care" may be a great football chant, but it's a shit business model.

Their first was a decent move and a good finish. The second was a 'not coping with the long through ball' fuck up with GK out of position - but it was McCrorie in goal at that point not Fod.

Playing three in midfield instead of four is leaving the defence exposed

Good to see Barisic is at least fit enough for the bench.

He's no Josh Windass..... 🎣

Great read - Alfie seems to be the exact opposite of a spice-boy footballer

Got to be the right jelly mind

There'll be more tears being wiped away by green scarves the night. They know we're coming for our title now.

Going back a bit - but Robert Fleck earned his nick, AKA 'Bobby Bare Arse'

A few more comments from Wigan fans. Some seem eerily familiar The Rangers board sold him because they received an offer they couldn’t turn down. We offered about 1 million more than what Windass is worth, he’s a good player but not 2.5 million good. ...why McMannaman does not start ahead of Windass is beyond me. Windass will be sold in January. He has no role to play at Latics. I've given Windass a lot of benefit of the doubt and i accept he doesn't want to be on the right or today the left of midfield but he's just not done anywhere near enough to remotely suggest he is 2.5m worth of player or that he has much to offer even if we moved him to another area of the pitch. He's been a massive let down so far, if he wants to push his way into a more central role he's doing himself no favours. A gift for Josh Windass and Darron Gibson after today. Not fair to pick on players but deary me, what were they doing out on that pitch ?

Finally, we have a manager who doesn't talk shite.
