Kiernan all round is just hopeless and should be nowhere near the side. Our midfield is so poor. All three show some nice neat touches but provide nothing going forward or defensively. Holt looks busy and is a tidy wee player but when does he ever play someone in or create anything meaningful. The same goes for Windass who blows out his arse after 60 minutes. Andy Halliday is just an imposter. What does he offer apart from being one of us and kissing the badge? Not good enough. Once again Garner shows what a waste of money he is. Nearly 2 million for someone who never even looks like scoring. McKay played well but at times he needs help. Maybe try him more centrally where he can create more. Nobody could disagree with anythg here. chris182 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that prick DK will make an appearance on the 31st I think he has a duty to be there supporting the team on the 31st. Short of ill health or other event patently beyond his control I don't think there can be any reasonable excuse for him not being at the game. Then comes the interesting bit - and its all down to the result and how the team plays (in that order). From there - and with not only the remainder of this season in mind but with a firm eye to next season - he needs to decide if what we are seeing is anywhere near good enough from the manager and the squad. And take action accordingly. A thing King should be considering is whether King is able to take Rangers much further forward. On the basis of what we've seen so far I increasingly think King was only able to bring some sort of immediate short term financial stability......but has no strong credible plan to close the financial gap or to propel Rangers back to being a far more credible contender.

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Rangers have had 28 away league matches under Mark Warburton. We have won 5 by more than a goal.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 This midfield needs an overhaul. It offers nothing; not on a consistent level anyway. We don't have the players for the standards we want to get to; and we absolutely don't have them in that midfield. I hope this issue is addressed as soon as possible.

We can all see this short ball play from the keeper isnt working. Teams know it and they'll pressure us, that's how we lost the goal tonight. Yet its evident the team has been ordered to persist. His naivety and ignorance is costing us. We were good for the first 20 minutes when we were playing quick football, totally minging the rest. Something has to change. The England under 21 job might just be the saving grace here, if they really do want him. Win against the filth and it's a nice way for him to say goodbye, beating a side with far superior resources than our own. Lose and he can shrug his shoulders and say he's done all he can with the resources he's been given and he wasn't going to be backed in January. Our board can then pocket the 500 grand or so compensation and bring in an out of work manager like Gary Rowett or Nigel Pearson with the promise of investment in the summer if they secure European football.

Hodson did little wrong when he came on. Windass's shooting is atrocious. He'd be lucky to make the grade at Motherwell over the long-term considering he's an attacking midfielder. Warburton has signed too many projects. It will be his undoing because he could have got better with the cash provided.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'd really like to know why 1, Waghorn has been regaining his form and is on the bench, and 2, where is Dodoo, after scoring two good goals in one match, and a dubious off-side in the next match, he has been benched and tonight he wasn't even in the squad; was Dodoo injured?

I think he said at the AGM that he hardly sees any of our games so he probably does not even know the result. He needs to step up and get us some better players but I have no confidence that he will.

Leaving out waghorn after he's scored the last 2 games, playing that complete donkey garner, playing dodoo upfront on his own against hearts! Wtf was that about?

Blue Avenger 22,569 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We can blame the players and manager until the cows come home, but the reality is, until DCK makes changes as in the purse strings, or we change him, we remain second rate, second in in the league at best, second fiddle to the scum, getting nowhere in Europe and I mean not even getting past the qualifiers. I am astounded by the easy ride he gets. Looks like we drink plenty coffee but never smell it. Can anyone tell me how we can realistically overtake the scum and prevent their 10IAR with this board remaining in power and not prividing adequate funding, or is it just no longer a realistic prospect?. I'm all ears, but ffs, please don't tell me the MW youth project will save us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 We didn't just stop playing well after they scored, we stopped playing that well after we scored. St Johnstone had a few chances immediately after our goal, and when they scored we had the ball close to their 18 yard box but McKay and Windass tracked back till eventually the ball was being played twice back to Foderingham. Totally avoidable. loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think he'd fare? Andy, by trade, is a left winger. He's been told to play CDM by a manager who gambled on a known arsehole in Barton to fill in that position to let AH play further forward. The guy bleeds blue, just like you and I.

Dont get me wrong hes ok, but if hes in a decent Rangers team he'd play 10 games a season, most of them from the bench. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Windass, on a few occasions, had the possibility of being more direct and incisive with the ball, and either went sideways or back with the ball; he even passed the ball back, with one man to beat, when he was in the box- he passed the ball back to Miller who was outside the box. People say that Garner would do better in a different system, and they may be right, but he does not get enough first ball passes into the box, and, yes, the same happened last night as well-Windass had the chance to deliver the ball early into the box when he was in line with the 18 yard box, but he chose to play it to the man outside the box again. We are not direct or incisive enough, and last night we did not play the great football people suggest before we lost the goal; we were as indirect at times as always, with a few fleeting moments, through McKay and Miller mainly, where we were more direct.
