The one good thing is in this game these chunts wont play with ten men behind the ball

[cumnockbear 2,446]

If we put out a decent team and sort our shit out i'd be confident of getting some sort of result at the stad le gadd, we CAN NOT play Barton and Rossiter in the same team.

I'd like us to line up like this, providing me make another signing and certain players are back from injury.

                                              Wes

Tav                     Senderos                   Wilson              Wallace

 

                                            Barton

                   Windass                                     Holt

 

Waghorn                               Garner                                McKay

[KingKirk 25,656]

4-3 Rangers

[ger4life_1872 29,577]

Were gonna smash these cunts , they are gonna need to attack and we can expose them at the back , 4-2 win 

[Broxi 11,504]

Foderingham

Tavernier    Senderos    Wilson    Wallace

Barton

Kranjcar        Windass

Waghorn         Garner           McKay

Last season we were playing good football though and didn't look utter shite.

Thats the difference here.

We were shite on the lead up to the semi-final too though. 

[BlueBloodStream 37]

Even if we win then we will end up dropping points more often than the scum. Already have dropped 5 points and our 2 wins have been by 1 goal.

 

I do fear the worst. Could be embarrassing losing by 3 or 4 

[Chineseboy 1,563]

We aren't playing well, but neither are they. They are shit. I looked at their starting line up today and there is fuck all to fear. However, they are one lucky bunch of bastards, but luck runs out. On paper we are every bit as good as them , if not better, we just need to start showing it.

I have so much confidence in Warburton. I think we will see a better performance against the manks. We have started bad but we will get better.

Do you know what mate .Now I just don't

We absolutely can't play a Senderos type player at the Scumdome.

It better not happen or we are fucked .

A centre half needs time to gel with the other defenders .No matter how good or bad  he may be 

Having said that ,any other permutation is worrying .

I would bite the bullet and start Wilson and Kiernan .They now have the experience of the fixture .

It's the only way to go at this stage 

If they fuck up .It's time up .

I genuinely think it will take a monumental turn of fortune to come away from this one with without being embarressed .

For me though .Then questions must start being asked of management and King

Bud dont know if im just trying to convince myself. Last season we could all see how good a manager warburton was and how much he changed things. Yes its a more competitive league we are in now but ive been really dissapointed so far. Warburton doesnt really seem to have a plan b. Just hope we are just finding our feet and will improve and go on a good run.

I think anything but a win would spell the end of our challenge. September will tell a lot about the nature of our squad.

Behave yourself. 

If we draw we'll be one point behind having played a game more. Hardly an unascertainable comeback. 

Honestly? We've been shite so far this season, but some people are just posting absolute nonsense to have something else to whinge about.

What are your reasons for not playing Senderos? Do you think he'll be out matched?

I don't think gelling is the problem now, when Barton and Rossiter play at the same time they get in each others way and for me that is the problem as it disrupts our play. I agree about Wilson and Kiernan it's time to let them have their chance.

Based on the games we've played so far I'd agree but lets hope MW works out what the glitch is and the team work together to make the plan work.

I'd agree I would seriously like to know how much as DK spent on strengthening the team since his take over and what % of ST money is allocated to this.

Senderos has been training with us for the better part of a fortnight, the Celtic game will be what, just under a month since he's started training with us? 

He's absolutely certain to start if he signs.

We've dropped a point a game after 4 games, yes. Still not getting why I should panic and say after 34 more games we'll finish 6th.

 

Did you think we'd "storm it" this season?

No I didn't think we would storm it,  I thought we could challenge, and possibly win.  I no longer think that.  I think 2nd is the absolute best we can hope for right now.

 

If some changes happen, and we start playing better and not dropping points, my mind will change.   I guess the Ally years have tested my paitence.

[bluenoz 30,914]

As much as I agree that Barton and Rossiter are too similar, I would play both of them against Celtic as we will need to win every ball alongside Kranjcar for his flair and experience. People are expecting too much from Windass. He is a young man coming from division 2 in England and is not ready to start in an old firm game imo.

Re DK: as little as possible if anything at all, he's in it for the money, he's getting a very good wage & is never there.

Plus bought shares at very low price & will make fortune later on.

If that's the case MW will need to work out how to get the best out of the team he's got and invest wisely on the % of the ST money he has been allocated for strengthening the team.

Of course it's not over, far from it. There's still 4 Old Firms to play. I'm basing that assumption on our current form. We've been lucky with the amount of points we've picked up and just don't look like the team of last season vs Dundee and Celtic. We've improved in terms of the playing squad, but we seem to have regressed on the pitch. The slick attacking style of play from last season seems non-existent. We struggle to string a pass together at times, constantly going nowhere with the ball outside the box before losing possession.

So why has it took him so long to sign him .Not for me 

He plays ,We are thumped

Yes and Europe is absolutely essential next season ..If not then it will seriously test our patience with MW

Apart from the fact Senderos isn't yet our player?

Let him sign first, then you've got yourself an argument!

Oh,and there must be a reason why he's played 200ish league games in a 14 year career.

Good call re Windass - especially as he's barely kicked a ball for us!

Unbelievable expectation to heap on a young guy - if he's really going to come straight in & boss it against the manks, he'd be knocking on the premiership door, never mind us!
