The sheep shaggers were there for the taking, much the same as the Livingston game in the league and just like that game we lacked the killer ball and gile in the final 3rd and lost another shite goal from a set piece against the run of play. There needs to be movement in the January window (preferably starting with sadiq being posted back to Rome) and I’m pretty confident our manager and his staff are well aware of this. This is a bandied about phrases at the moment, and it annoys me. We are now over a quarter into the season, and lost a major cup semi - work in progress is not applicable now, we are far too gone in the season for that to be evenly remotely be used as an excuse.

Would have been nice to have another striker option but shit happens. It is October, there is still a wee while to go before the end of the bloody season, if you cannot see an improvement in the team you need to have words with yourself. Still let's just kill everyone..... The irony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottywellhousetb 50,466 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Thought he brought on the Albanian on Thursday because he was starting him today, then plays the Somalian pirate, I still think he needs a lot more time but some of his decision making is fucking nuts and frustrating.

You can only pish with the cock you’ve got. We have had 3 rebuilds in as many seasons, I don’t think torching this squad and starting again with a new manager is the answer because that is the alternative and we don’t have the resources. As hard as it is to believe right now I think there is something to build on here hence ‘work in progress’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is before even getting into our own attacking flaws which set pieces have been an issue since the last break. I think we would be ok mate if we could score more than 1 chance out of every 20 Yet concede quite regularly with 1 out of 3 chances created against Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Stevie has a lot to learn and tonight is a huge step back for him and all of us. The players once again did not seem like they were up for the game or the importance of it, and I do not give one fuck who was on the pitch that was a game we should have won. I am as angry as have been for some time after watching a game, I feel for anyone who spent fuck know how much money on tickets, transport and food. ? .... especially "The Granite City Loyal' Bud .... who have to travel back up there and be among that shower of shite.

You don't need lots of money to be very very competitive in Scotland but that today is just unacceptable and the whole team and coaching staff need to hang their heads in shame at letting the fans down yet again. A winning mentality needs to be found and found quickly or, domestically, this season will be like the last two. We are a much better team than Aberdeen, Motherwell, Livingston, et al and time after time we're found wanting, it's just not good enough. Yes it's still early doors but Gerrard knows you don't get time to fanny about at Rangers, more so when an absolutely shite Aberdeen team that had 2 shots at goal put us out a national cup semi final. See this Steve clarke nonsense or anyone else, its one lot of shite, killie win a lot of points aye, but teams set up way differently to them than us, every team goes out to beat killie as they are beatable, so there's none of this all behind the ball pish that us and the tarriers come up against, Put clarke in gerrard or rodgers position and he'd struggle because teams park the bus against us or the tarriers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 16,974 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I’m not buying this “he’s a rookie manager, he’s still learning things like when to use subs”.

steven33jackie 1,920 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Europe is the only positive for the season. This time last year we were also out of the league cup v Motherwell and were also sitting with 17 points after nine games. So there have been plenty changes on and off the pitch but the results are pretty much the same. Still don't have a plan B on how to break down a team that's sitting in. He could of done a number of things today 3.5.2, 4.4.2, play a diamond in midfield to help support Sadiq who for all his faults won plenty in the air but there was no one around him. Give Kent a free role with no defensive duty just to get him on the ball up front. Any number of changes he could of made both personnel and tactically but he done nothing until it was too late. For the first time he is going to come under real scrutiny don't be surprised if at the next press conference he gets a bit ruffled as some no mark journalist will try and get a quote. Like many on here I like Gerrard I think he a class act and hope that he learns very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
