DoobyDoo 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'd make these players work on double and triple training sessions, giving 50% of their wages to sick kids and military hospitals across the country.Spineless, gutless and they dont care.They may not be gifted players but they would be the fittest and fastest in the league. Thursday would be the last full match for MOST of that lot. 15 days till SC Replay. I would change their thinking. They are not a team. They are an excuse dreamed up by our club.It has taken the ENTIRE coaching staff of Rangers Football Club 6 months to identify the main threat from that mob is PACE?? Tragic.Get the league, dont care about the pish cups, I demand another league. Get that wee snot gobbling genetic excuse off my telly, and out my stadium.

Smile 26,600 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 With the amount of games we play training to much would just be stupid we have a small Squad with a lot of injuries lets cause more injuries by overtraining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 3,009 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just get them to train all day with the second session being used for them to work on their technique, including throw-ins, corners and free kicks. Why it's not mandatory at the moment is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why it's not mandatory at the moment is beyond me. It's evident that we must spent zero time working on these things. In fact I think the only time the players touch a football is on a matchday.

2bob 3 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 This is becoming very depressing, it would appear every facet of our club is riddled with incompetence and lack of application, even down to the coaching or lack of it, is there anything going for us at all at the moment.

radlord 24 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 we're fit enough. we're not good enough at football. Make them work on some fucking ball skills.An put Edu on 24 hour shifts with some traffic cones on the Maryhill ash pitches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 When I was in Italy I saw a young boy running down a busy road bribbling the ball past traffic.Maybe that's the kind of training we need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govan Front Antz 15 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 See this bollocks about too much training it really gets on my fucking nerves. I study sports science at university and i know what training is all about.Football players are in no sense of the word elite athletes, they are just a bunch of guys that are fitter than us.Elite athletes train for 6-8 hours a day 6 days a weeks with one rest day.If the management are that concerned about burnout why not get the "players" in for hours doing technical drills, its not as if we dont need to.

However I doubtthat Smith et al are quite as ready to throw in the towel as many of our support seem to be. Walter has a bit of dig and fight and the season has a way to go yet.

Adoniram 1,919 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 In every crisis every excuse is trotted out to somehow explain the obvious.The obvious is that the players we have are simply not good enough and the manager is not helping matters by getting his tactics wrong in every big game we have played recently.He is demanding more consistency from the players...i would demand more from Smith as well.Sunday showed yet again his inability to change the shape/system or personnel when Plan A goes out the window.

Adoniram 1,919 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 There's a Plan A?Well i would assume so as it appears to be about sitting in and stopping the opposition from scoring.The only snag is that they invariably do score against us and we have no Plan B.Last 3 games against the filth with Plan A has seen us lose 2 draw 1 concede 7 goals and score 2 one of which was a penalty.Way to go Walter as your tactics are working a blinder.

Adoniram 1,919 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I know, the myth that hs grown about us being a 'tight defensive unit' has been well and truly blown out the water this season.28 goals conceded in the League last season23 goals conceded already.The momentum has gone and the League title is slipping away from us unless Smith takes drastic action with a few of our players.However i cannot see it happening as Smith simply will not drop Weir or Davis or Bougherra because he can't afford to.He chose the squad and he gave the game time he felt was deserved to those on the fringes.So players like Hutton,Cole,Wylde,Fleck etc etc will NOT feature too heavily in his thoughts for the remaining games.Sunday will be the norm unless Smith somehow gets the players to up their game and at the same time throws caution to the wind with his 4-5-1 garbage.last 2 seasons by and large was 4-4-2 with Miller and Boyd and we won the League both times.Co-Incidence?

Stu1993 101 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 i dont know how Walter cant see that our set pieces, throw ins the main one, are really bad. We cant even keep the ball with a throw in which is in our half, and apart from one or two good balls from corners every few games, corners suck too. And it annoys me as we have a good threat in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
