SIRB_72

There is - but in the end it won't work till the shitebags have gone they bring down every aspect of the team and there really isn't a personality amongst the new players who has the influence to change that at the moment. Which is rather sad and pathetic really. 

We win that game tonight if Barisic plays left-back. Not because Borna wins it, but because Sterling influences the game in midfield.
Dhana and McCowan have had too much time on the ball in the last two games.
Lawrence is not an 8 and Dowell can't defend. 
That's where we dropped the points.

Could play until next week and still not score.
Glad to see us get a clean sheet and weren't too bad defensively apart from that first 10 minutes and when we were "chasing" late on. If we were going to do anything tonight and going forward we need clean sheets because, as we seen tonight, we dont have the firepower.
Slow, ponderous and unbalanced. Sterling is wasted at left back, absolutely wasted, and when you look at how unathletic that centre of midfield is Sterling is, along with Dio, what we're crying out for in there. For me, as much as a shitebag he is, Barisic has to play if Yilmaz isn't available. We have 4/5 other bed wetters out there but at least another one might help us out tactically, even at least so I don't have to watch Tav hit about 10 corners in succession.
Since we're on the left Silva is shite as is Matondo. Get Sima back out there and get McCausland back on the right with Tav getting forward. One side you have Barisic playing balls down the channel for Sima and on the other McCausland coming inside while Tav exploits the space.
I'm not his biggest fan but alongside Sterling we should be trying Raskin. As I said that midfield tonight was as unathletic as you can get. At least Raskin and Sterling can sprint and I suspect he might be a better number 8 than Lawrence, Dowell and whoever fucking else we can chuck in before him.
Cantwell is our only 10 at this point and he was a huffy we shite tonight. Didn't turn up and was right to get hooked.
As much as Desser is a pain in the arse there is a reason he plays before Roofe and we seen why tonight. Roofe, unfortunately for him, is done.
The manager is very limited here but I think there's other things he could be doing rather than what he is.
 

I have my doubts but if we were able to turn them over at their place with two games to go would be absolute scenes. 
A man can dream.

It was Gio. Looked like he was out the door in the January on loan at one point then started the 5-0 at home to Hearts and Thursday night Lundstram was born.

I think if similar happens again and Clement is booted and the same core is at the club a lot of the support will turn.
People paying thousands into the club every year to watch the same dross getting the same results year after year eventually takes a toll.
These players, like you say, will and have run every manager, good or bad, out of the place and eventually it will be the support they chase away.

Another mad thing is that 35 year old Leon Balogun is our most succesful player based on what he's won and what opportunites he's had.
The guy has joined us, left, joined us  again and still has as many medals as the core group and more than some in that group like Lundstram.
 

It's easy to say who we want rid of, but who is going to sign an almost 32 year old Goldson on £30k+ a week? Assuming we manage to shift Davies and Balogun leaves - we'd suddenly need to sign 3 centre backs with little cash and a forward line that is on it's knees.
So much of our shite are old, injury prone and/or on high wages, so it's going to be hard to shift them. Even if we do, we won't get much/any money for them so it will be hard to get good replacements. 
Lammers, Barisic, Davies, Sima, Silva, Hagi, McLaughlin, Cortes, Jack, Roofe and Balogun will definitely go. 
I wouldn't be surprised if Raskin goes too.
That's already 12. I can't see many more going.
I think we're in for a tough summer. 

Clement over the last couple of weeks has made mistakes just like every other manager we've had, even the good ones.
I don't think any good manager gets a decent crack at the whip with that core around the club. Any time there is a wiff of pressure they cave and here we are again.
celtic lose one title and they have a mass exodus and after 2/3 windows were only left with their scottish core who has won everything with them - everyone else gone.
We just keep meandering on with the same shite culture and spending decent money on guys who will also be entrenched in the same shite culture and the cycle keeps on going.
The biggest concern is I don't know how Koppen and Clement fix even part of this in the summer.
 
 

The tarriers signed a right back 2 januarys ago, he won more medals in 6 months than tav had in in 6 years, probably end the season with 2 more than tav

Diomande’s done ok though isn’t a massive step up on what we already have, and unfair to judge Cortes who was starting to look decent. Silva overall been very underwhelming.
Not really seeing signs that recruitment is that much better than what it’s been, albeit one window and January always a difficult one.
If they continue to spend double what we spend or whatever it is they’ll continue to on average bring in a slightly higher quality of player.

Across both here and on FF I’m yet to see anyone in agreement as to what teams we should have picked over the last few games.
Last week people were saying Sterling didn’t work at LB and Barisic should have  played. This week it’s the opposite, but then others are saying Sterling should have played in midfield.
Then we have people disagreeing as to whether it’s Goldson or Souttar who should be dropped with Balogun coming in. 
The reality is the squad is a shambles full of total losers. We couldn’t spend a penny in January and two of the loans we have bought in are now injured.

Back to basics for Dundee and Hearts.
We need to start keeping clean sheets again. It was a huge part of our early success under Clement and covered for one of our deficiencies which we seen today is scoring goals.
I'd get Balogun back in the side for experience and just to freshen things up. I'd say play him with Goldson because it does seem to work but taking out Goldson wouldn't be out of the question.
You hope Yilmaz is back but until then it has to be Borna because Sterling is wasted at left back. I'd like to think Balogun back in would also help Borna through games.
I'd be having Sterling and Dio in front of the defence assuming Dio is back, if not then Lundstram, and Cantwell in front of them. Dynamic but also a bit of dig and energy.
I'd get Sima back on the left, McCausland on the right and unfortunately I think we're stuck with Dessers through the centre but even more reason to get things sown up at the back.
I have major doubts mentally but we still have a shot if we get things at the back sorted.

Same as yourself don't know what the lads done wrong his gameplay whilst we had injuries was superb the boys got a product no doubt in my eyes and during that mid season spell was pivotal in giving the one thing this team has lacked an end product more so the last few games his inclusion should be an absolute priority Silva's well off the boil other than the good turn and this week keeping  his feet and winning the free kick  was his only.bright spell today .
The lack of players tasked with delivering from a wide position is clearly impacting how we play and opposition teams know it.

Was asking my lad exactly this a couple of hours ago.
Weird, as he appeared a mainstay up to his injury (in the manager’s mind, if not ours).

This isn't a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder but what is the deal with McCausland?
I know he splits opinion but he's been taken out of the 11 but still on the bench every week and never features. I know Matondo's had a couple of big goals but his general play is shite, Silva's isn't much better and the less said about Wright the better.
Unless there's something I've missed he must be sitting wondering how these guys get chance after chance despite the three of them struggling to muster up as many decent performances as he has this season

It was not in reference to your post but it just shows you how shite him and his stalwarts really are, been saddled with shitebags for nigh on 10 year and no sign of change. Need to employ someone who can identify guys who have the cajones who can handle playing for Rangers and the pressure that comes with that.

It'll no doubt get mentioned the difference in position. However if Conor Goldson, for example, were to play every available minute left of the season (including two cup extra times) he will only have played 271 minutes more than 40 year old Davie Weir had in his last season.
Think it was just the 3 titles and 4 cups he won

David Weir played 5300 minutes at the age of 37/38 once.
Behave yourself.

We played better when we had an actual fixture pile up and half the squad out
Walter always said it was more about mentality than physicality and that's what we seen today. A lack of fight and desire, the pure basics, missing from us.
