How many times do we hear “we need two players for every position “
the usual suspects get a free ride as there has been no pre-planned recruitment to ensure players know if they fuck up there’s someone straining at the leash to take their place. 

Our recruitment to create a hungry internally competitive squad has been abysmal. 
 
Tav, Goldson, Lundstram and to a certain extent Souter and Dessers know they can’t be dropped - not because they are invaluable but because there’s actually nobody else.  
 
So they get comfy knowing they will play every week knowing there’s nobody fighting hard for their jersey. 
 
Our injuries haven’t helped but when everyone is fit there’s still no real competition, the quality is just not there. 

Even with the drop off in form, he's far exceeded my expectations with what he's gotten out of this squad. 
Needs backed in the summer.

Maybe been told he's not staying? Drop off is huge

Perhaps big Phil has told him he’s off in the summer 
 
🙏

Can’t see that happening mate but certainly open to the idea of this being debated, carry on 

He’ll start another shite quiz thread. 
 
that’ll teach him. 

Waiting for the obligatory “send them up the dunes at Gullane Sands” post

I was  pandering to his critics who seem happy to flog him at half price.
Personally I didn’t think he was that bad at Rangers. Never scored much but did OK in what was (now) obviously not his natural position. He was clearly a lad with some skill.
Id have him back to be honest. Even out of position, he's an upgrade on Lawrence IMO who is absolutely shite but I can’t see him wanting to come back.
 

At our best, Jack and Kamara understood that part of their responsibility was to automatically cover for Tavernier and Barisic.
Now we seem to have lost the threat the fullbacks gave us while exposing ourselves to greater threat - worst of both worlds.
When did we last either fullback hit the byeline?

Just about every game Barisic has started under Clement he’s subbed him. 
 
It’s as if he has short term memory loss and can’t remember how shite he was the last time he played him.

There is absolutely not a chance on earth that we are turning over 98% of this squad in the summer. It’s fucking fantasy talk. There’s a huge disconnect from our fans to reality. 
 It’s stupid to think so. 

 

All on Dessers today. Should’ve been 2/3-0 up at half time 

Worrying though that he thought Scott Wright and Dowell were good ideas the last couple of weeks 

Only issue with that is his ambition being matched by the board. The amount of change required needs backing we haven't seen since the Murray era. 
I'd understand if that isn't possible and if it likely isn't then I'd prefer Clement and Koppen got 9/10 solid first team players along with Butland, Sterling and Cantwell then the squad being filled by B team players, regardless of them being good enough right now for the 1st team. 
We need evidence that the manager and managerial team actually want to make the tough decisions that's been needed to be made for years.

This squad has been assembled over time by a concoction of managers who have generally struggled. 
 
we have spoken about Clement and how he has turned our season round with this group. 
 
I personally can’t wait to see what happens in the summer. We will get a better idea of him and our ambition
