    A few reasons why Mark Warburton is the man to take us forward

    negatives- Rangers are starting at the lowest base of a squad they have ever had in the top league. The cause of this was the squad he inherited was substandard but the money had been spent on them. They needed replaced, so he was left with putting in a base squad of better talent but with less money to spend. He put in the base of the squad and won a cup and the Championship.

    The Premiership is of a higher standard, the squad is to small and inexperienced at this level. He again needs to build up the squad, get in talent and experience on a shoe string budget.  9 out of 10 teams he will meet have experience at this level, his team mostly have not. He has to manage them, demand of them without breaking their confidence. Inexperienced players go for safety first and will pass the ball off or in a rush of pressure pass it to the opposition. He has to get them to learn to be brave and play the way they were doing in the Championship.

    The experience he got in lacked pace but that was the trade off as he did not have the money to but experience off the top shelf. He will now be looking for the younger players to pick up on that experience and perform but confidence turns a beautiful pass in to a bad one, he has to manage their confidence while they are learning and results are not being produced.

    He was unprepared for the expectation placed on his squad in their first season, how every team he played would give it their all to beat Rangers, how Rangers equal other teams cup final 4 time a season. They need to peak 4 time a year, Rangers need to peak every game. He did not expect the level of performances from all other teams. The Championship had given him a false baseline. Cup games are cup games but every league game being a cup game is something new. A period of adjustment is in play but he has no control of how quickly the experience is absorbed by his younger players.

    433 is his favored tactic but it is not working. Lack of confidence is being shown by players trying to play it safe, pass the ball off, pass it square or backwards, not getting in to position but being safe by not being there, slowing up the play and looking to other to lead. 433 works when the players are confident, they become brave, a square ball becomes a forward ball to a bursting run that opens up the defense. We have seen this both working and not working.

    Some of his experienced players are not doing it on the field and one was a disruptive influence that had to be removed with all the disruption that brings.

    Positives- The manager knows what he is trying to achieve and it is more that scraping wins, it is a style of play. He has despite the lack of real cash he has brought in players of a good standard and when they become confident in what they are doing, they will achieve.

    He is smart and is man managing the situation and taking the flack with dignity. He knows what he wants and knows it is a mater of time before it happens. He has seen it in spells and so have we but he and we know it needs to be throughout the game and end in wins for Rangers.

    He is stubborn and will stick to what he knows works despite others proclaiming doom and gloom. We seen it in the Championship and we will see it in the premiership. He is not a flip flop manager. He has shown strength by the removal of a big noise player who is a presence in the media for the betterment of the squad.

    He is learning but the learning of individuals in the heat of the game is out of his control. Afterwards he will be going through the games with the players and be looking to promote their learning in game, a difficult skill to pull off. He knows every game is a battle and is now preparing the players to play for the battle until they can play their football. Once the players trust in themselves we will see the fruits of this but we are still in the process of the players taking it on.

    Finally

    I said before the season started that it would be a roller coaster up to Christmas/ New Year time. Once we have faced most of the teams home and away we, Rangers will know what is in front of them the next game. I have seen nothing that I did not expect in our first season back. I said that I thought we could win it and I still do. Celtic will have a poor patch, I hope it is in February / March as I think by that time we will be up and running. We are stuttering at the moment but I expect that to reduce with the only the occasional game being a problem after January. Celtic will stutter and we will have to take advantage. This season is not over, those points can be and will be clawed back. We the Rangers support need to call on the players to be brave and go again when it breaks down. Play safe or play to win, we have to call for one or the other because this Rangers team it not set for going out to sneak a 1-0 away win.

    We are Rangers, we are in adversity, time we showed our true attributes of steely determination. Thank you Mr Struth for putting better than me.

    A good post and many decent points

    I,d only take into question celtic might stutter this is posiible only if the thumb & dembele get crocked at once.

     

    What's wrong with Wallace's left side?

    Most infurating player in our team by far for me he has been loyal and is probably a decent guy.

    But a pet hate i have watching defenders is backing off  or shielding when being attacked it just encourages  opponents  - the big man is beaten many times too easily.

    Agree with OP that our predicability is passing back then across playing safe - big lee one of the bigest culprits

    This style is all well and good but other teams especially if playing at ibrox can sit back knowing we are a one trick pony team -

    Your captain shouldnt be one of your weakest players brutal truth he is and untouchable

    The team he picks on Wednesday will be interesting as to if we have a tinker man or a manager that rewards players that deserve a place on form. 

    If the latter then he has to keep gilkes hill hodson tav  miller as first names on the team sheet  starters .

    Drop Wallace and mc kay 

    Then midfield forrester holt halliday

    Dodoo o halloran 

    And give Kenny some help up front either waghorn or garner were playing at home so has to have two strikers !

    If rossiter good to go then drop one of the midfield probably holt .

    The midfield have to support the strikers and push te team up as an attacking unit .

    He is all we ever wanted of a non Scottish manager  but came with an appreciation of what he has .

    Hope of all he can turn the club a match our goals to be the same as his . Will do for me the magic hat .

    A .Morton ,W.Waddell , W. Johnstone, D.Cooper, T.Mc Minn. B.Laudrup. Kanchelskis .N.Mc Cann ,

    Not naming others that have played in that position - and  were many times the buissness

    Really happy with that first half the most solid we have been as a unit all season

    The free kick miss by caley apart we have looked for once confident and compact

    Dont understand the little snide remarks about some of our players especially Mc Kay when we are doing fine

    We are too easy to critisise for the sake of it  - if someone deserves itthen  fine - otherwise - i just dont get it .

    Not seen anyone not gaining a pass mark.

    Great watching our country fall on its arse  - its just expected

    We exciles would love a scotland team to do an iceland - but  they have a  unity scotland is a disfunctional place with people and organised politicians out for their own . but they act like a donald trump tit

    The  braveheart film that still runs true in 2015 - but the sfa take their place as them ! dodgy not trusted

    We are two worlds apart - scotland for a person from glasgow to answer - do you support scotland ?

    From the year 1970 - the answer would be 100% yes

    And the year 2016 ... 5 % or less i,m guessing at best  ? 

    For the rest of the United Kingdom to see that answer  they havent a clue and dont care for the rest of us we do and to have a national football team that you cant relate to .

    It is a disgusting shocking fact  and a sad fact all at the same time .

    allys tartan army days from 78 long gone sadly when the country failed but had respect .

    What is the point of international football . Play aload of games to make one tournament and then make an arse of it for the majority of these countries

    We have a Scotland team that (due to reasons) feels to be for most bluenoses like a divorced marriage

    Especially for the old duds like myself that i treated a scotland match seriously and got upset when they lost once apon a time and attended countless games .

    Cant be any other country in world football -  that could intentionally try to F*** over its biggest club and alienate them all in one go !
