Mark Warburton P32 W19 D7 L6 Pedro Caixinha P26 W14 D5 L7 Graeme Murty P16 W9 D1 L6 Our managers are getting worse, not better

No doubting other teams aggressive tactics, but Graham Dorrans was booked in a pre-season friendly 5mins into the game, we cant have it both ways.

I like him too, but not as our manager pls

Dreams can come true. Hope he takes Pena with him but returns the money we ST holders forked out for him.

That guy with no game time (DJ) seemed to be fine tonight, pity he wasn't available on Saturday.

Another way to listen ->> http://www.listenlive.eu/uk.html

The info you need is not in my eyes, its there -> http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish Scroll down below podcasts and 'Around the Web' on right-hand side, theres 'Sportsound' or below is Hamilton Acc v Rangers.

It's the 21st century, that's not up for debate

How come he gets so many tickets? He sponsors & gets the advertisement for his business, & OK a few tickets, but the bread & butter fans should get the offer of these tickets from the club.

At least he would be available to play & not injured, your denying fact he got injured 2nd run-out in 4 days. Had he made it through that game Pedro would've thrown him into O/F game & he'd have got injured, the guys only concern is himself, not the players, the supporters (who he inferred were barking dogs) or the club. He's blowing smoke up your jacksie & you cant see it.

It may not relate to KM, but it does to Pedro. A reporter asks Pedro "do you think DJ is up to playing 2 games in such a short space of time, given he's not played a game in over 6 weeks?" Pedro laughs and says "if he cant play (O/F Game) we still have options, bla bla, we will see if he can do that". WTF a reporter can see it is putting the player at risk, and a possible positive result in jeopardy, but our manager cant, or he does not think it's better to keep DJ fit for the O/F Game, surely play the weaker left-back against weaker opponent & stronger against the stronger opponent. The craziness of Caixinha could be very damaging to our club

Could also be fitness issue, players always seem to fade in 2nd half

1st we don't know if KM has been banished & 2nd if so what his crime was. If 1st is true, 2nd could be for speaking his mind, standing up for Dorrans who, I don't think did anything wrong on the Captain-gate issue, KM could have expressed players confusion at Pedro's mixed message I.E. "We have 5 captains" putting them in order of hierarchy KM being above GD, but Pedro blows his top when players abide by his strict rules. The players are bemused & that's down to Pedro.

Yes times up for 'Petulant Pedro' he's confusing to the players & fans alike, what we need is a manager that can work with a squad he inherited and there's plenty of them around, only the very top clubs have the finances to continually give their new manager enough dosh to totally rebuild, all the rest are coaches that work on improving team organization, along with team/player performance.

Remember he was close to getting sent off in last seasons 1st OF game, got subbed at half time before he did see red.

Did we sit back & let the old board have their way? Did we sit back & let sport direct have their way? You need to learn the power of the people & WATP

Pedro post match said "We have to focus on the positives that are coming regarding the future" I.E. focus on something that does not exist or live in hope that there will be positives in the future, but how do we focus on something that's not there? There is no positives to take from that result and he's talking rubbish.

My point to you at start of this is in relation to you writing 'I know everyone, including myself, was crying out for a decent defensive mid but there's no point having them if they have to cover other positions when we lose the ball" Obv a CM & the CB are there to cover for such eventualities. Surely you must grasp this very basic part of football tactics.

You don't know the basics of football tactics. A midfielder has many roles. All players have many roles & it change as play changes, when a full-back goes forward the rest of defense move side-ways to cover, same with midfield. Watch this at 3min:20 sec . Then rest of game & learn how players move through fazes,

Nonsense

Is that not one of the purposes of defensive midfielders 'to cover for others if they're out of position'?

Pedro said himself when we had 2 holding in midfield, we didn't create enough, but when we went with just 1 in holding midfield, they got through us, so reverted back to 2 holding. Catch 22

The part-time opposition we just played, ended their season at the same time as us, had made more squad changes & were playing away in front of 50k fans live on TV. I can draw some conclusions from that game & they are not good.
