I think it's time to "use the squad" as a certain manager likes to say. It's time to see some new personel starting as current ones just aren't working. For Saturday I would like to see:

Foderingham - Despite conceding 5 last game, I don't think he's had any calamities that would get him dropped.

Tav, Bates, Crooks, Hodson/ Wallace? - Assuming Keirnan and Wilson are injured and Crooks is fit. Senderos obviously banned and Hill, whilst a good guy, is not a good defender so far.

Rossiter, Holt, Windass - Young midfield 3. Rossiter holding and Windass and Holt with their creativity.

Waghorn, Garner, O'Halloran - McKay needs a wake up call and O'Halloran needs game time. Although Linfield not exactly great opposition, he still created 5 goals which is nothing to sniff at. End product isn't great though.

Subs: Gilks, Wallace, Hill, Halliday, Kranjcar/ Barton, Forrester, McKay, Miller/ Dodoo

I don't know what's happened to the team but how many games, worthy of being called Rangers performances have we had since March?
In 3 games before the Challenge Cup final we conceded 9 against Falkirk, QotS and Raith. We lost to Hibs 3-2 twice in a month. Lost to Livingston. Drew with St Mirren and Alloa.

First 4 SPL games I would've expected at least 10 points from bottom 6 teams, now we're 4 points behind Celtic, going on 7 points, and we still have Hearts and Aberdeen to play, who Celtic already have beaten.

I thought the exact same thing as you and the line up you went for was man for man the same as me, we badly need hunger and energy in our team and these guys will provide just that, i honestly can't see beyond a young hungry team, let barton, krancjar etc earn a place, if they really are interested that is.

Its a shame like as I was buzzing when we got Barton and Kranjcar and they've been the biggest let downs! Barton been well and truly shown up and only himself to blame.

I would suggest a change in formation for something different but don't think management team will do that. Forrester is easily able to slot in for either Windass, Holt, OH or Waggy which is why I think he would be best off the bench, as he can fulfil multiple positions depending on the situation.

Warburton must be careful. He was sanctioned to buy Barton and Krancjar. They are on mega contracts so what a financial and judgmental disaster if they need dropped because they are deemed to be curtailing progress on the park. No club can afford to waste wads of cash but especially RFC as we all know the financial position at the club is precarious. Celtic have wasted millions granted on strikers over the last few years but they have a sound business model and now an additional, up to £30,000,000.
