josmc 525 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Really disappointing to be honest. Sadly lacking in quality, especially midfield. To be honest I would start Rossiter on Saturday because Coulibaly is adding nothing to the team at the minute. After a spell when I felt really positive about our chances, the confidence is being sucked out of me. I’m now going into Saturday with more hope than expectations. The only thing keeping me going is that I still think celtic are bang average. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning the league on his first season was always a massive ask and unlikely. IMO we are still heading in the correct direction. 100% mate, imo SG will get it right, needs time, any sane person knew this, i for one didnt think we would win the lg this year. fuck these loan players etc, we need to fucking spend on some decent quality. there is a reason these players are out on loan. our team have been ravaged with injuries to.

the brown brogue 1,909 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Pretty sure we've scored the same number of goals this month as Sam Cosgrove. Outwith Morelos we barely have a single player who looks like they want to score, let alone believe that they can. No-one at all is willing to take responsibility and their one thought is to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible and hope Morelos can make something happen.

Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I get the anger,but wanting to change manager and throw in the towel just now is mental. Comparing records to Warburton and Pedro is also pointless. The league is far more competitive now than it was when they were there. The game at Hibs last week was arguably one.of our best performances, we were just unluck not to score and didnt take out chances. Today whilst we were not great, we got suckerpunched by a late goal. Under the previous managers Hibs were coming here and comfortably beating us. As it stands, there are only 3 points between us. A good January and we can turn things around.

Truth_is_out_there 197 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 We lack a genuine winner's mentality, struggle to make simple 3 yard passes, nervous as fuck at times, struggle to influence the match....and that's just our Captain.

Bigdave30 8,701 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 We need a leader on the park, one who’s biggest feathers in his bonnet is not a championship winners medal and a cup semi final win against that mob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayWilson 3,381 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Not looking forward so Saturday one bit. It feels like when we were going into the last 2 old firm games of last season, a foregone conclusion with our lot meekly accepting a skelping. You just cant see any other outcome. Back in the early to mid 80s they were better than us but we could still surprise them in these games, you just don't have the feeling that could happen now. Dearly hope the players can prove me wrong but I don't think they have it in them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt you try and slaughter me a few weeks ago for saying the board are to blame for this PR disaster? Face it, 10 iar Is a given for them while the board are in charge. They will appoint a manager, give him no decent funds and replace him when the fans suss them out.we are fucked till king and Co go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,890 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 A Rangers manager who, whether it be St Johnstone, Hibs, Aberdeen or Dundee sets up not to lose instead of setting up to win games.. A 4-3-3 with 3 midfielder who dont have the ability to create or score and 2 second rate wide midfielders.. A team totally reliant on one man..
