LarkieDeek 61 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 We are paying somewhere between £1m and £1.5m a year just for coaching. I beieve we could do better with 1/3 of that cost. We should be MUCH better on half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchibaldLeitch 380 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 As well as the management team, i believe the opposition and league we are in plays a part in the lack of progress our players have made individually.Testing yourself against players of a similar or better standard provides the platform for progression but im not using that as an excuse, law, black, daly, templeton, shiels all looked pretty deacent in the top division so it was up to the to carry on that form in the lower divisions.I would say aird has improved on last season down to experience and mcleod looks to have made slight progression again i think thats down to confidence and exposure, apart from that i cant think of anyone who has progressed in the first team.Wallace has shown consistency that is all.Make no mistake the spl players we bought are here for a payday and easy ride and they have fallen short of our expectations of them.

The Godfather 71,899 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Another thread showing how spoilt and unrealistic some sections of our support have become.Yip.It's a disgrace some of us expect proven SPL and European experienced player to actually perform against part time teams who train once a week or to win a cup like the Ramsdens.What a spoilt bunch we are....never mind guys earning a few grand a week failing to actually do their jobs.Seems some of us lost our standards as Rangers men when we went into administration....Thank fuck they are few and far between.

falwheel 222 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 when my team dominate for 90 minutes and wins 3-0, I am normally satisfied. Surprised not one thread of praise. Disappointing really, almost as negative as the DR, Sun, etc. Everyone entitled to their opinion just think a bit of balance is healthy.

Sasa_Papac_No1_Fan 605 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I see in another thread (the John Daly one I'm sure) that our players only have to train 3 days a week ? Surely that's not the case ?Well they kinda only have to, to let the muscles repair themselves, no point training 5 days a week, that give the players more chance to get injured by overtraining Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Wallace improved up to a point, but even he has been dragged down of late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's to stop them practising set-pieces on the rest days, or even sitting in a classroom discussing tactics and football philosophy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Ownership 101 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 None. The only players who have even partially maintained form are the self driven individuals, and management has nothing to do with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think that's unacceptable Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a lot of our players seem to sign, have a good few months and then performance dips drastically. Did Aluko not leave after less than a year?
