    Too slow in the first half, too much dilly-dallying and not enough purpose. 2nd half we were miles better and should have had a 3rd at the end if MOH hadn't fucked it.

    MOH needs to start against Kilmarnock, and hopefully Holt or Windass instead of Halliday. 

    Heresy to some on here, but I think he's been poor since the start of the season. Warburton appears to think he has to be played to bring him into a patch of form. He played today as he has since the Motherwell game in the BetFred, poor passing and couldn't hit his arse with a banjo. He's our new Lee McCulloch and I really hated him. Don't know what's gone wrong with Halliday at all. Agree that Holt and Windass are better options. Shouldn't play next Friday. Plenty of options and no need nowadays to stick by an underperforming player through thick and thin. No doubt some wont like this, but it's the unvarnished truth.

    After Hill's performance today I don't think he should be near the first 11 at the weekend. 

    Desperately need a big solid cetre half, preferably one that's a lot more mobile than Clint. The defence improved when Wilson came on and is indicative of Clint's performance. Burnley were way more fit than Rangers and it really showed in the opening half hour. If McParland knows some one suitable we should be pursuing him double quick. Mariappa may be waiting for us to go back to him with a better offer?

    Dapo only turns 15 at the end of this month, He will play mainly U16's games this season but should push into the reckoning for the 17's too.

    Thanks for that. Hard to believe he's only 14. He seems enthusiastic about his football and he can beat a player, lay on goals and score them. If his brother is anything like Dapo we have two gems to look out for. I envy you being able to watch our development games. A bit early to say, but do you think the Warburton plan A is working down through the squads and the coaches have them playing in the same formation and manner as the First Team?

    Thanks again.

  4. The striking thing about his time on the pitch was that senior players were giving him the ball again and again. He was a safe place/player to give posession of the ball. He's a players player, a leader and he isn't anonymous on the pitch. Brilliant capture by Warburton & McParland. Thank you gents.

    Having said that, it was Stranraer he was in against, but a star is certainly being born.

    MOH is the type of player who can make the difference and turn games. Given the chance, this guy will be one of our gems and to fuck with all this square passing shite, or we will be toast with better teams, particularly with our main two liabilities thumb sucking at the back! Him and the two subs were a revelation when they came on. All on the same wavelength and roasted that well defence,

    Two square passes resulted in two goals. Can be quite deadly around the penalty box. MOH looks nothing like the player we signed in January. Looked constipated in the latter half of last season, but very energetic, fast and direct today. On todays performance he wants to start every game.

  6. I particularly like the idea that tall 13/14 year olds should play against players who are physically the same size though older in years. The idea being they will develop better technique, not depend on their superior stature and weight to advance in the game and develop in the correct manner.

    The old battle cry of better a good big yin, rather than a good wee yin, must become a thing of the past.

    How it'll work in practice is an interesting conundrum?

    Although I agree with the sentiment that there was no point loaning him out etc, but just because he was good at his loan clubs doesn't mean he will be good here. Danny Wilson is a far more established centre half and he struggles because of the way we want our centre backs to play, Luca might not be able to fit in with our style. 

    All the best to him for the future, hope he goes far in the game.

    This.

    MW doesn't see him as a defender who'll fit in with the way he wants his central defenders to play. He's of an age where he should be showing to MW that he has the potential to be what he's looking for. If I were the Manager (god forbid) the first question I would ask myself is 'If he weren't a Rangers player, would I want to sign him?' Obviously MW wouldn't.

  8. Off course you have to pay wages and bonuses as well. If that isn't included in the 5 million then it's a fair enough spend. We'll be freeing up wages from those who are departing also.

    It's all a far cry from what we used to spend and all the better for it.
