Popular Post bluenoz 32,625 Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 I'm not sure what sport Matondo should play, but it isn't football. Barring a few good moments because of his speed, he has been nothing short of atrocious. Yet posters still put him in their team selections. It baffles me. He doesn't have a football brain to play for Rangers. Play Lawrence or Cantwell in a front three. It's not ideal, but injuries mean you have to adapt. Anybody but Dessers and Matondo and to a lesser extent McCausland and Wright, who are both bang average, but not as bad as the first two.

Agree, should have worded it better that if Sterling passes a fitness test and no further damage then I would play him but Phil doesn’t take risks with players fitness.

Slight concern for me would be how we deal with Curtis Main's physicality. Obviously he's a limited player, but we've been unsettled a bit by his type in recent weeks. Wouldn't be too surprised to see Balogun come in to add a bit of physicality there. Long hopeful balls into the channels making central defenders turn while a willing centre forward runs them down, harrasing them into mistakes and bringing the oppposition team up the park at the same time. who’d have thought such an outdated percentage ploy, from a workmanlike team in a council league, would work in a workmanlike, limited, council league? 🤷🏼♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players should be fit enough to play 2 games a week. We have injured players which is a different matter. The only thing which worries me is that heads have dropped after exiting Europe on Thursday however I hope that Clement will prevent that being an issue.

We have injured players which is a different matter. The only thing which worries me is that heads have dropped after exiting Europe on Thursday however I hope that Clement will prevent that being an issue. Clement has said that the fitness levels aren’t at the levels required (thanks to Beale) the team are shattered because we don’t really have anyone to rotate the players who need a rest with. For example due to cantwell being injured Lawrence is having to play more than would’ve been hoped, he’d have preferred to manage his minutes but in reality he can’t. Weve then got Roofe back who needs micro managed because he’s basically made of glass, meaning dessers can’t really be rotated so he has to play. He’s not been able to rotate or rest lundstrum because jack is out and Raskin is just coming back. some of the players are having to play when in reality they’d have been brought back gradually. we need first team players back and this break is coming at a great time for us Darth Bear, OrangeRab and born a blue nose 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav and Lundstrum have played more minutes than just about anyone else in European football since Winter break. No other club is playing twice a week with no squad rotation and under PC we play a high intensity press. In 2008 we won 13 in a row in the league. Then we dropped 15 points in our last 9 matches.

Exactly. Lundstram started really badly on Thursday and looked shattered at the end. I'd seriously consider using Raskin and having Lundstram on the bench. Doubt we can do much about Tavernier with Sterling injured. He is a pretty fit guy and played well on Thursday though. Our biggest problem remains the fact our CF options are Roofe or Dessers, unless we play Silva there and start Matondo on the left OrangeRab 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
