*****Official St Mirren vs Rangers match thread*****

[OrangeRab 2,847]

Always going to be a struggle when you have no wingers. 

Just need to get the win here and stay in the hunt and hopefully get Sima back.

Goldson will be coming straight back in for Balogun.

Absolute school boy defending for the goal

fixed that for you

nah your just one of those weirdos who thinks lundstram is bad.

his work rate in that half was brilliant. he was everywhere. not his fault the players around him are complete liabilities that he constantly has to cover for.

[bassettger 378]

Awful performance.

Silva and Lundstram off. Sterling to centre midfield and bring on Roofe and McCausland.

Without Butland it would have been worse than 1-1.

This shower of shite probably look unreal in training and Clement has to pick based on that, then they get on the park and let everyone down.

That’s it. We don’t have a single outfield player on form atm. 

[Trooblue 1,979]

Another reminder for Clement that the major priority this summer is gutting that defence. Three summers too late, but there we are ...

At what point does PC start to shoulder some blame for this monumental collapse?

Totally devoid of shape, style, and any kind of plan. 

he's worked wonders getting us to this stage i dint think anyone else could have

its just a shame he has a team full of bottle merchants as players

heres hoping the board give him as much backing as they did beale

When he’s got his own players in and a pre season. If we are shite then, then fair enough 

He deserves a pre season and a summer to get his own players 100% agree. 

Let's see if ruthless enough with changing the squad.

 

Losing the press and energy, going forward fast is huge red flag though.

That and sticking with players that are clearly away at the end of year, if you don't want to be here you don't play- even if means Youth LB and Sterling in for Lundstrum

Lundstrum can go in the summer, Diomande playing the one two and moving into good space and Lundstrum passes it back to the CB. 

If he could pass forwards half as well as he goes backwards & sideways, he’d be a world beater!

I think he worked miracles to get us back in it, but think squad should be beating the likes of Dundee, Ross County and St Mirren. 

We should be, but we have players who can't handle the pressure of being expected to beat these teams in the search for a title. They've done this every single year bar one anomaly, long before Clement was here.

[Ivybank 4,621]

We bring the ball out of defence 3 st mirren players around us they bring it out dessers against 3 defenders , great tactics clement 

[MarcusDa Beasley 1,043]

The decision to miss my first game all season and go to Braehead was the right one. Should’ve took Silva with me by the sounds of it. Unbearable to watch the last 6 weeks.

[Johnnyem 238]

The game isn't lost yet, yet the comments are all totally negative. We can still win it, but granted. the football we are playing is uninspiring and desttroys hope for the remaining fixtures.

We’ve been saying this under four managers now.

No point building a house on foundations that are weak.

We all know about the players but i’ve no idea what type of team we are.

He’s been here for months.

Has he?

Working miracles would be taking 4 or 6 from 6 against celtic to get us back in it.

In terms of results he’s done the absolute minimum anyone would have accepted domestically.

[HG5 11,219]

5 shots on target for Saints in one half.

As many as they’ve managed in the previous 3 games against us.

Lundstram has been awful, so often his first motion is to play negative and go backwards. Diomande at one point tried a quick forward one two with him and he just passed back to Soutar.

Teams against us, rattling into tackles, nudging off ball, blocking players runs when we try to close down goalies etc, we let them have a free hit everytime! We are soft as fuck, no leader or individual to put foot in or utilise the dark arts that others weekly do against us

I would be worried and quite frankly insulted if every team we play did not do all of the above. We are Rangers, we have to get players in to the squad that can handle the pressure, and indeed, thrive upon it. The current bunch of bottle merchants have got to be cleared out during the summer and I do not envy Clement his job given the financial constraints we will be under having handed the Filth another £50M windfall with our latest arse collapse.

I dont think he is bad, I think he isnt good enough. Past his sell by date and we need better than a player who has a purple patch every 10 games or so.

[Drumloyal 15,033]

I'd have McCausland on, take off Lundstram, move Sterling next to Diomande.

The manager needs to take responsibility for this as well, we look absolutely lost and noone looks like they know what they are supposed to be doing. What exactly is he telling the players? They dont look interested at all and havent done for the past month or so.

He is trying to polish a jobby. Different game with the likes of cortez and Danilo.

[steven33jackie 1,946]

Unbelievable no changes.

oh he's shite its not a coincidence we see something from him when he wants a new contract

if he was as good as our payroll thinks he is then he would be running that midfield against stfuckingmirren himself
