Well, well, well. what a shocking display and I genuinely thought the lads would come out firing on all cylinders after Wednesdays result. We are just so easy to play against it's unreal.

I believe the bulk of the problem is tactical. If you have poor players then you don't ask them to play outwith their capabilities, something Warburton has been implementing massively. In the Championship we saw a few times where our tactics were completely rendered useless by teams catching on to our inability to switch game strategies. The victory against Celtic completely blinded us against the glaring problems that needed to be addressed before we jumped into the SPL.

The decision making in this team is embarrassing, almost non-existant. Today we had Wes trying to skin a striker who'd already scored, Wallace as per usual sits too far up the park and was taken out of the game by a simple over the top ball from which they scored and Hill actually turned around and had a go at Wallace who just shook his head and walked off, this behavior from the club captain! A captain who offers no leadership on the park whatsoever. Hyndman is one of the best if not the best player at the club and he's sitting in front of the defence today rather than behind the striker where he is more effective and this would also fill the blank space in front of our centre mids stopping Garner and Miller coming into midfield in search for the ball. I was also disappointed in McKay today, more often than not he ends up at left back because he spends his time waiting for Lee Wallace to run in behind him. Why hasn't Warburton instructed him to run at players, get crosses in and get in behind the defence? instead we have our left back in scoring positions.

Warburton has spent almost £3m which is far more than any other team except Celtic so clearly money isn't the main problem, Cathro at Hearts hasn't a massive budget and he brought in 7 new players who gelled quickly to thump us 4-1! They've now scored 7 goals in their last 2 matches and I fear that they will beat us to second place while Aberdeen secure 3rd. We have a 20+ goal striker sitting on the bench and when he gets game time he's deployed on the wings.

Who is the 20 goal striker on the bench?

Unfortunately many fans seem to think we have "waste" more money to match Celtic rather than seek value for money like Hearts

Very good points Rossiter. I reckon that the majority of the fans are in agreement that Wallace is not captain material but I am not sure that Warburton has the leadership qualities needed either and David Weir isn't showing the same skills on the touchline as he did on the park.

Altogether, very disappointing.

Agree thought we would have played against County with fire in our belly BUT the FORMATION is working against US! we do have good players but if we don't score eArly OR get one against US the lads are not confident in playing together in that system! Can u imagine the wee private chats the guys are having AND they will be! This in itself will breed negativity and Warbs should be able to see this even if no player is actually asking to see him to discuss the players concerns WALLACE should be doing this! Sure he god do it in the right manner but not 100% sure he is but it doesn't have to be the Captain its that obvious that u would think Miller Hill god dam Weir! Don't think my support for Warbs is as strong as was!

Whats the predictions for tomorrow guys? Anything less than a win by 2 or 3 goals is unacceptable. Wednesday night was a shambles and it got me thinking. when was the last time we hammered a team?

I hear all this talk of people wanting King to give Mark the money to spend but who says he'll use it wisely? I can't see any investment while Mike Ashley and co are around, remember King is a businessman first!

On to Wednesday, I have to wonder what Warburton tells his team at half-time, that's not the first time the squad haven't returned for the 2nd half! we've done the same against Celtic twice this season!

How long before the game do the players and staff arrive? a good few hours, so Warburton or Weir should have seen the state of that pitch and instructed us to clear the ball to safety rather than constantly passing back around the defence/ holding onto the ball in defence putting us under pressure time and time again.

There are several weaknesses in our squad that aren't being addressed properly. Kiernan started to improve his game but has recently slipped back to championship level making foolish and amateur mistakes, Clint Hill is solid and playing well but he is 38, 1v1 against a quick player and he's done.

Tavernier has played decent when played in midfield because he wants to attack, why is he back in defence?! Halliday has been nothing short of atrocious this season and how he is continuously starting is beyond me. He isn't good enough to play professional football in the top flight!

Where is Rossiter? what a disappointing signing he has been, shame because he's a genuinely good player. Subbing Hyndmann off after an hour was a joke, him and Waghorn were the only two players to put a shot on target and they were withdrawn, its laughable really. Kenny Miller being forced to come deep to get a touch of the ball, up front himself isolated he's 37 he just doesn't have the pace and strength like he used to!

Why did we spend 250k on another keeper? He isn't going to remove Wes as number 1 so why didn't he just promote a youth keeper to the bench? 250k that could have been spent on another striker or even a CB.

Defeat tommorow Warburton to be sacked Monday morning.

Im looking for a performance, a response players to go and show they want to wear that strip that's all I've ever asked for! We win will as our great support is an extra man at ibrox but we need passion on the pitch and on the touchline.

3.) 03 Feb 2017 18:11:07
You're absolutely spot on there with every point mate, except I'd say you're being harsh on Miller. One of the very few players in the squad who has actually performed this season.

How can MW be trusted with any money in the summer look at the team on Wed only the two new loanes and Hill were brought in after his first transfer window where is Rossiter Dodoo senderos Ohalloran hardly played yet Halliday Tavernier Waghorn have been poor but always play Hodson is a better right back the system does not suit the players look at our goal difference +6 after 23 games it's boring to watch our two best players are closer to 40 than 20 I'm sick of watching this crap for me get two in the box let's go at teams get the fans off their seat when's the last time we battered a team when's the last time Ibrox was rocking

Most frightening thing in the last few days is the clear evidence that MW is completely delusional. Current goal difference is +6 (? ) . Should be closer to +20 if we were performing anything like we should; winning most games and occasionally putting some teams to the sword. I can't remember us giving anyone a hiding this season and am struggling to recall any truly convincing wins. Yet after a complete gubbing from Hearts, a team with 6 new players on the field and 1 win in the previous 6 or 7 games what does the arrogant know it all come up with? A proper apology and a promise to address all the basic short comings that have been so evident for the past 12 months! No not a bit of it. We are told how well we have being playing recently and never better than the second half against Motherwell. It is almost like he is trying to re-write history. Well we do live in the post truth world!
So the real problem for me is if Warburton thinks those recent performances against the likes of Motherwell are good enough he does not understand the requirement, standard or expectation that apply to Rangers. He is aiming way too low. That said any kind of win tomorrow will do but I would like to see the continual defensive errors eradicated, (fof Keirnan), some physicality and fight on the field and some leadership on the field. Let's be honest, Lee Wallace is not the man for the job. The only reason he didn't leave was because his missus wouldn't let him and he didn't have the confidence or possibly bottle to try his luck down south.
We have to finish second, not just for Europe but for pride so let's start being honest about our performances, address the blatant errors, fight for the jersey and drop players that aren't up to it.
Let's see if Warburton can manage a football team, motivate the players, kick some arse and come up with some tactics that can outwit the opposition.
Finally, there has been some reference to some friction between DK and Warburton. I wonder if that started when DK said he had thought we would have been a bit more competitive and more comfortably placed in the league and Warburton replied with, if Celtic had won 4 fewer games and we'd won 1 more the gap would be a lot less. WTF. That is the kind of remark you would expect from a junior office manager not someone sitting in Bill Struth's old seat.

Rant over, fingers crossed for tomorrow, c'mon the Gers!

Tbh I think even if we finish 2nd Warburton will be gone purely because of his style of play, playing in Europe is critical for us and if teams such as Ross County, St Johnstone etc are giving us an extremely hard time then what do you think will happen to us in Europe against far better sides that would win the SPL with their youth sides!

That being said, Warburtons style is a nice style of play. Keeping possession not allowing the other side into the game but he hasn't signed the correct caliber of player to play this style and he isn't utilizing players' best positions (Windass playing in front of the defence, Kenny Miller on the wings, Waghorn on the wings etc) . Instead we have guys like Halliday giving away possession (and goals! ), Kiernan and Tav caught out of position constantly, a lone striker who has to come into his own half for a touch of the ball and no players attacking the 6 yard box for crosses!
