1st time posting on here but I'm on everday reading the comments and my god some people really haven't got a clue so let's say we sack Warburton like lots of people say I'm guessing these are the same guys that were singing his name last season give the guy a break it's only 5 games in let's judge him at end of the season.

Welcome aboard mate and not bad for a 1st post 100% correct warbs will sort it Back the man not Sack the man.

Aye he's got to get his strongest 11 out and we will be like a different team when we have crooks and holt etc in the team and playing week in week out, add in Rossiter and Windass and Dodoo and we have a quick dynamic midfield.

Nope, some of us have seen his flaws for a very long time.

Limped over the line in championship not run over it like hearts - who had a much smaller budget.

Tactically inept and not capable of changing. One dimensional tactics looked good against poor opponents but exposed by decent sides.

Massive mistakes made in player recruitment in summer. 11 average or past it players (save rossiter and windass. King lied about backing him but Warburton wasted what funds he did use.

Paranoia and delusions aside - now he has to prove himself.

I think MW has dug himself into a bit of a hole. He doesn't want experienced pro's like Barton and NIko sitting on the bench and getting the huff after persuading them to come here, but anyone can see they both are off the pace and need replaced. We have better on the bench, raring to go.
The real reason people are losing patience with him is he had all summer to sort out the leaky defence and his answer was Senderos (last minute panic buy) and Hill who no matter how optimistic anyone is no Davie Weir and never will be. He's just a past it defender. We brought in too many players but all in the wrong position. It was the same last year, we were crying out for a CDM and a CB all year, this year we have 3 CDM and one decent CB (Wilson) . There's no balance.
He might get them going on a winning run and hopefully get some cash for a defender in January, but if we are so far out the race by then what's the point.
I would rather have seen us sign Marriapa than Barton and Niko, it's what we needed.
When u add the end of season results and this years together it's a horrendous run no matter which way we spin it.
Celtic are nothing special and could have been caught this year if we were just a bit cleverer with who we brought in imo. I'd love to see them on the end of a Rugby score tonight to bring them back crashing down and hopefully get rid of the stench of them from this site for a bit.
Put in perspective to what we've been through last few years this is nothing, we will be back and we will get our revenge, it's the beauty of the old firm.

Good comment Recbob, MW sets out the team as if there is no opposition. He doesn't seem to adapt to what we are up against. We have one tactic and no flexibility when things are going wrong. As for our defence, it is obvious where our problems lie, and that is not new.
Either he has a radical re-think or it is going to be a long, difficult season.

13 Sep 2016 19:18:18
Totally agree recob. i think (hope) the gaffer sees that barton and krankjar are making the team so laboured but i don't think he can drop them as they'l be on big money and it won't look good to king and co if our 2 highest earners are on the bench. also agree the hype abt selik is over the top, not saying for a second they didn't deserve to win the game but when we're down to 10 men and no cbs on and mckay at lb and barton at cb of course there going to score at will.

it wasn't even close in the championship we did run over them.

13 Sep 2016 21:17:36
Barton WILL establish and merit bein 1st team, Nico on thee otherhand Impact player unless his fitness dramatically improves, buy we have players in our squad to do this imo if we can start games wi Rossiter Windass and Holt then the team would look good I would have Windass playing just behind say Garner as for Barton he plays in front of the defence also giv O'Halloran a run on the left wi Forrester on the right, Warbs does have a headache picking the best starting 11!

Every manager, (even Alex Ferguson), has his flaws but the difference between Warburton and McCoist and MCDowall is like day and night. Do we really want to go back to that or some other serial failure in Scotland. Why do we think Celtic brought in Rogers!

What none of us know if whether Warburton brought the best available given the scant resources at his disposal? I suspect so. On paper, Barton was a good signing, (not sure about Hill), an so was Kranjcer. Securing Dodoo and Rossiter was excellent and while it is early days, Garner, Forrester and Windass, all look excellent value for money and we have still to see Crooks in action.

Like many I was very critical of our performances to date but in reality, for me, when I analyse it, what we are lacking is a quality centre half that can defend both on the ground and in the air, read the game and have speed and two thirds of the teams in the EPL are looking for the same! Add to that the sad fact that Wallace is a poor captain that lacks all of the leadership qualities needed. There again, where are we going to find a Greig, Butcher, Gough or Amoruso. You won't get that quality of player shopping at pound land.

I am therefor of the opinion that one additional player, a central defender would make a massive difference. If they have leadership qualities and can captain the team then that is a massive added bonus!

i am not saying sack the hat but he has to be more flexible with tactics and team selection he has made a lot of good things scince he arrived especilly in murray park running and traing methods but bad results against aberdeen and hearts will put him right under pressure don't forgetuntil the celtic game we have played teams rom the lower level of the spl.

All the players we brought in bar Hill and Senderos were great signings considering where we were and where we are now. My point was that was the main position we really needed quality brought in, but the manager chose to ignore it till the last minute. even after having plenty of time to see Hill wasn't the answer he goes out and brings in Senderos, who also isn't the answer. But more worrying for me is his insistence on playing Keirnan. He is the worst player I've ever seen at Ibrox. Looked shaky last year, looks embarrassing this year. I would be delighted to never see him in the famous dark blue again!
Anybody who knows anything about football could see this was going to be a problem for us this year apart from MW and he must take the blame. He chose to bring in 11 players yet still no quality CB and we are paying the price by being out the title race after 5 games.
I hate criticising the team and have been slaughtered on here for over optimism but i won't lie and say we are good enough in defence. We had a young dynamic team last year crying out for a CDM, a striker and a few CB's yet we've been transformed into a slow laboured team with aneven more shocking defence. It's just not good enough.

Tom42 bang on mate, i agree i even posted on here myself a couple of weeks ago we need a tam forsyth type centre half, but i agree totally with your post.
