Whilst all the managerial talk continues I feel the need to raise a point . Rangers are 7 points behind Celtic. Our goals against 5. Celtic goals against 5. I said last season and it seems it is the same this season. Our front line is the issue.

The thing is Celtic haven’t had their first choice back 4 in most of their games and will improve can we say the same about our defence when that’s the best we’ve got and lose the same kinda goals every season.

Agreed Windy, and until the rest step up and match Sima/ Tav, we are stuffed.

I asked the question 6 weeks ago were was the goals going come from to challenge. Some smart arse replied the players. Sam Lammers and Dessers were never going score enough goals to contribute to a title winning side.

The defence who can't defend set pieces isn't a problem? Would be more than 5 if jack butland didn't come to collect corners. Defence is every bit as bad as the strikers tbh.

Forgetting goals for and against. We have played them at home and also aberdeen at home while they have been away to us and aberdeen away. Should never be 7 points behind at this stage.

Beadleabout. Goals win games and titles and like him or not for whatever reason Colak knew where the net was - so Mr Beale fell on his own sword for binning a guy he didn't like or says didn't suit his system to bring in two planks who did fit the system - WHAT EFFIN SYSTEM WAS THAT BY THE WAY? Colak is scoring goals in Italy and being lauded by his manager! An old saying goes Only fix things when they are broken - Mc Coist and Boyd ONLY scored goals but that won us games and titles - hopefully we will see those days back when a new manages assesses all our duds and rectifies the damage Beale has caused.

Stating the obvious there Windy, but you're not wrong!
Yes, Beadle Dessers and Lammers are never going to score enough goals to contribute to our quest, and both are just not good enough. Lammers gets a bit more slack as he's not a true striker, but Dessers looks nothing more than worse than average.
Has anyone checked out Dessers league goals scoring record? It's grim! 77 league goals, over 9 seasons, at 8.5 league goals on average a season, with 22 of those coming in his purple patch in 2016-17 while he was at Breda. That's 28.5% of his league goals tally coming from one season alone, 6 years ago? That's pathetic! How in God's name did anyone think signing him was going to be a good idea?

Anybody that questioned Lammers and Dessers in the summer was classed as a celtic fan or someone that never knew the game on here Raisetheroofe. Maybe we knew a bit more than some gave us credit for. Colak apparently couldn't play the Morelos way (whatever that even means) .

Agree on Dessers, what we’ve seen so far is woeful. Lammers I wasn’t excited about when he signed but then I had a change of heart and thought he could be a good player, looking like I got that one wrong. Colak I always liked and think it was a mistake to get rid of him, especially when we didn’t upgrade for better. Jury is still out on Danilo but he looks like he could come good. Shame about the injury. .

Blue Floyd Colak barley starts in Italy division two, beadle surely you can see Colak and Morelos are different types of cf.

13.) 14 Oct 2023

Yes but we can't keep using the Morelos way beale. We should've found a way to play Colak.

BAF56 - He scored 20 odd goals for us with limited game time last season and at least you could see he had a football brain (so that was good enough for me) - unlike Mr Beale who personally I think vastly underestimated the task he had in front of him - stability with the correct manager is now needed and I will gladly support some immediate pain for future gain - unfortunately Beales buys and tactics showed great naivety and somewhat arrogance too!

Colak played something like 8 / 10 games for us without scoring and had a dip in form .
He was getting slaughtered on here .
This site makes me laugh … such selective memory’s
Like a bunch of old grannies in the laundry house ?.

The issue is Colak did not want to play or train.

The old "I used to play the game" crap doesn't wash with me Beadle. These "ex players" have got a helluva more wrong on here than right with their "expert" knowledge.

Colak started well, but faded badly, and was no better than Dessers. that's my opinion. Anyway, he is history.

You're absolutely correct BizzmyBrox, with the exception that Colak could actually score goals (what a striker is meant to do), he is no better than Dessers! ?
Honestly, I love this place! ?.

20.) 14 Oct 2023
14 Oct 2023 13:05:59
Colak is a far better goalscorer than dessers BizzmyBrox, by a considerable distance ? Shouldn't have been sold imo and nobody will make me think different, he's a terrific, natural finisher ?.

Windy

That's he'll truism old fruit. Our previous didn't have where with all to get defence and filled attack with dubious. I'm still waiting for Sima to step up.

Big Dado, Butland is part of the defence and as a goalkeeper should be coming out to collect crosses that is what we were screaming at Greegs for not doing. Every team would lose more goals if their keeper wasn`t doing his part . that's why all the top teams make sure they have a top keeper .

P. S. were does it say about when players are signed? It says about 6 weeks ago and because I don't keep track to the day I posted that could mean anything from 4 to 6 weeks ago. Some of us have busy lives that doesn't revolve around Rangers banter page.

Bizzmybrox colak had 13 goals at this stage last year, compared to dessers who has 3 of which 2 were deflections and am sure one was a penalty. To say colak is no better than dessers is at best laughable mate. To think where we could be if we only had someone that can actually score goals.

Colak is at his 12th club since making his professional debut in 2013. That says all we need to know. He was never going to stay at us for long. He’ll be at a different team next season as well. He didn’t win a trophy with us and he’s history so let’s move on.

i wonder how many shankland would have scored by now, its a thought innit.

Colak has started one game since his move to Parma I wish we would just move on from him he was a bad apple and we have to play and unfit injured Alfredo instead.

Someone mentioned Beale not liking Colak because "couldnt play the morelos way" i think that comment sums up a big part of our problem too many of that squad are programmed if you like over a long period to get it to morelos, kent or tav. Now its just Tav. We let tav take every corner and every freekick. Its like we've forgotten how to play or find other solutions when we need to find goals another way. Tav is good with his head, in my opinion he should be in the box at set pieces.
A fullback at rangers should never be top scorer every season, pens or not. New manager has a tough job on his hands and another rebuild next summer.

absolutely correct dado, morelos way won nothing, beale way won nothing,

kent morelos became a joke attack, we should have played to colak in the box and stuck with it until we bought a new scorer, nfortunately beale wasted the money.

Shankland has 1 league goal this season hardly setting the league on fire now is he.
