Lundstram should be getting dropped as well as Goldson.

This might sound crazy given we have ignored it for about a decade, but I think we should consider signing quality wingers in the summer.

Big chance to win the Tom Stoltman Cup if we win today

Never a midfielder, but irrespective looks done even further up the field.

Yep. Same players, same outcome. There's a disease in the club in terms of standards and winning mentality and thats starts with the core of leadership players who all need to leave, and at the very least, be stripped of all leadership responsibilities if no-one else wants to take them.

Of course the Scottish Cup matters, but if it papers over the cracks and results in this same shower of losers getting new contracts and being told they will go for league again next year only to do what they always do, and bottle it, then its not worth winning. Thats how fucking tragic this state of affairs is.

Its tedious because it constantly happens. I don't think anyone is suggesting its the only factor, we also have poor players. But when you witness a team turn on form when they are chasing a league, and then completely capitulate when it really matters, coupled by multiple poor performances in Old Firms when it matters most, its hard not to mention it as a massive contributing factor. Would be great if we didnt have to be tedious, but we've watched the same shite on rinse and repeat for years.

Theres no mystery. This group of players can play when there is no pressure. Once the pressure is on, they capitulate. Underdogs in Europe: find form. When the elague is written off or over: find form. When we are expected to win: shit the bed. Its mentality, these are small time players not befitting of a club of our size.

Utter shitebags to a man. If I had consistently underperfomed as much as they have I would accept being sacked, never mind taking home high wages.

Got an email to say I could buy a ticket. Clicked link, none available. Good customer experience.

That is absolutely criminal, and a massive part has to be lack of central midfield cover and discipline, especially when fullbacks bomb forward.

Right now we look like we'll concede at least 2 goals a game every time we play. Even with a good strike force that doesn't win you titles, nevermind with our front line. We are seeing nothing to suggest that changes

Mentality. Going into games either with complacency, or fear, or a bit of both depending on the player.

Us to Arsenal and Liverpool today

a tragic state of affairs given we shelled out about £14M on strikers in the summer

I've seen Rangers teams in far worse physical condition see out title run ins and find their form when it matters. Sad truth is that I genuinely believe some of these players would be playing better if we were 12 points behind them, with the same level of fitness as they have now.

only shock here is its only 2

That clowns "see you in May" commenst should have been hanging from the picture of the King in the dressing room, with these players playing every game like it was the biggest match of their lives to ram it right down his fucking throat. Instead, we see slumped shoulders, basic errors and the same tired old excuses at the end of matches.

Should have been a legacy defining season for him, but when we needed him to find his best form, like Goldson and Lundstram, it has fallen off a cliff.

yep, no chance. these players can't play under pressure. even last week, we were 2 down before we started to play. This season, we only started when Clement came in, and most of us had already written the league off. All the evidence points to these players losing at their dump, with damage done in the first half, and then find our form again when we are 6 or 8 points behind. Its only hope that we can do something, not backed up by what we are seeing on the pitch.

sadly most of them don't know whats needed to play for a club of our size and expectation, and it shows. small club mentality, touchy over criticism, telling the fans to calm down while on the park, looking shell shocked that every team plays against them like its a cup final. reeks.

Let me guess, we'll learn from it and come back stronger?

Cringeworthy comments against the might of Ross COunty at Dingwall when you are 1-0 up. And lets be honest, the 'moral victory' stuff last week was shite as well. The sort of shite I thought we had done away with getting rid of the used car salesman.

Barisic has been an absolute disgrace btw and shouldn't be in a squad ever again. The likes of Goram, Ferguson & Brown would likely be swinging punches at him in the dressing room

Starting to feel like a broken record but amazed he doesn't play Sterling to get proper control of the midfield each game. Its no secret over the years we've looked more in contorl of matches when we had a fit/in form Jack (ages ago I know). There's two ways to dominate midfield: either you have great ball players like Davis, or you need to set yourself up to win battles, turnovers and retain possession. It's not our only fault, but we wouldn't leak as many goals in my mind if we had midfielders that could win their duels. We're far too open in there. Not ideal when you have a shite back 4.
