Just read an interview online with Warburton inside football think was the site, apparently we don't need to change the way we defend and the way we play will not change, stubbornness will cost him his job if we're struggling sat n he makes 2 60 min like for like subs ibrox will hear me ( and my old man)
29 Sep 2016 22:16:54
What he says in public and what he plans to do on the park are two different things.
He changed the defence the only way he could after the Celtic game (which was obviously the worst performance of the season), by playing Hill and Wilson ahead of the two that were on the pitch that day.
29 Sep 2016 23:14:54
Hill and Wilson played quite well in the Aberdeen game.
Bigblue ayr, Warburton will come good and I think the team has steadily been improving.
I'm not blindly following as a Warb fanatic, I genuinely think the team will start producing.
The only thing from Ayr you usually hear is the dafties from lochside.

The Celtic game was not the worst performance of the season.

He rarely does 60 minute subs you are just delusional. He changes the tactics constantly what he doesn't change is the formation and how we play, the philosophy. He knows how to bring through and produce youth talent and he does that by keeping the formation consistent since that's what I assume the other top youth systems do. 100x better against Aberdeen but people can't see that. No three points = no progression apparently. You call yourselves Rangers fans but the toxicity towards the club at times is dreadful. It's a three year plan, you not doing the relevant reading into the Rangers regime. No one said we would win the title. MW said "We will be highly competitive. " Against Aberdeen we were, effeminately should have took three points. Three year plan the goal this season is second so we can gain European football to upgrade our squad again next season.
I see one more "MW makes 60 minute subs" without anyone actually understanding how muscle loading works I'll explode. He makes subs at any point in the second half (55,60,70,75,80). He changes the tactics by playing different players, rotating players on the field, tinkering a number of things like what side of the park we are attacking, impact subs, where McKay and the CAM are drifting to, when the fullbacks are to bomb on and much more but you can't see it because you'd rather be negative.

A man after my own heart, cracking post RossW1995,like myself a good football thinker and what's going on at our club and what's gone on! Some on here can't see the woods for the trees and are way too negative, we have a minority of very fickle, impatient fans!
30 Sep 2016 08:34:22
RossW, A couple of decent points but the nucleus of your comments are maybe the intention but it is not working.
It is also difficult to take some it seriously with the usage of the word "effeminately".
As far as impact subs are concerned, they are supposed to get the game and turn it about and we have very, very few capable of that. Yes, Miller had an impact against Aberdeen with his awareness and deft pass that won us the penalty, but we don't do enough to win games.
Your last paragraph is just seeing things through blue tinted glasses and I really wish it were true, but in truth, is it not a case of desperation by some and just not knowing what to do, with others are "hiding".
All I want to see is a more flexible selection policy, players chosen for the game ahead and defined changes in our style of play depending on the opposition.
30 Sep 2016 08:35:20
well said ross! he's a very smart man who knows more about football than most people will ever! we just need to give him time. and a lot of people doubting his signing just look at some of the players he has signed windass, holt, tav, foderingham and also at Brentford signed andre gray and Scott hogan and loads more.
it's time to get behind the manager and back him and he players let's get ibrox rocking on Saturday.
30 Sep 2016 09:28:22
Do u read your own posts sometimes ross? Muscle loading, really? Youth, where? Changes tactics, when? Progression, sorry not seeing it at all mate! R u honestly happy with where we are given how big our budget is? Do u honestly think mw is capable of turning this round?
30 Sep 2016 10:22:56
There was a post on few weeks ago calling for tav to be moved into midfield. I don't like players playing out of position but in this case when you look at it he was our biggest attacking threat v Aberdeen and although he has improved defending he's still prone to the odd mistake that can cost us the game.
30 Sep 2016 10:26:29
I agree with Ross on the whole however Aberdeen was no better for me! Some nice football against County and QoS but Aberdeen the performance was impotent! They gave us so much space to play but we couldn't create chances and usually reliable players like Holt were off the pace and wasteful! The positive for me is that we were more than competitive playing poorly and we will prove we are better over the season!
30 Sep 2016 11:51:44
He rarely does 60 min subs it's usually 63 min to be fair big blueayr.
30 Sep 2016 12:26:57
jaws mate what u on about we have too many good midfielders as it is and u want to take one of our best performing players out of his position?
we play 4-3-3 that's the way its going to be I don't agree with it but I have to deal with it .
and no way tav goes into our midfield when we have windass holt rossiter halliday forrester crooks and kranjcar not to mention barton if he does stay here and doesn't become the England manager .!
no way tave gets a game before them in this formation
(last part was a joke before u jump on it guys)
30 Sep 2016 17:02:37
I make one mistype ever and it gets picked up, I mean to say definitely, the issue with the site is there's no edit system or any ability to re-evaluate. Typed it on my phone so auto correct just made up a word.
30 Sep 2016 18:18:37
I also wrote a reply justifying my points but its went missing as usual.
30 Sep 2016 21:39:52
I don't like the way he says thing like we are playing training well and making progress and won't change the way we play as much as you but what else can he say our players need confidence and him backing them at every opportunity makes Sence if he came out and pointed out all our faults it would not help 1 bit things must improve and warbs will be the first person that nos that get behind the team threw the good and bad.
30 Sep 2016 22:33:41
James that's the point I was making about trying tav in midfield u say he wouldn't get a game there due to midfield players we've got . Holt forester and Halliday were our midfield v sheep and tav was our most dangerous player holt and forester done nothing . maybe a wee change like that would be the difference just a thought.
30 Sep 2016 23:50:12
We all have our own opinions Ross and wtf which we all will agree and disagree with I understand the concept of giving the manager time which by the way I hope he gets because I do like him, but I just feel with certain decisions he has made like not shoring up our central defence witch has been evident since after the semifinal last season was never going to be good enough for the spfl, I also understand that it would take serious money to get a quality centre back but surely there had to be better options than senderos and hill.
30 Sep 2016 23:44:27
Ross you need to have a lot more respect for other people's opinions as you seem to think you are on a different level intellectually.
Let's here your 'muscle loading' explanation, just for a laugh- I have a medical degree so I'm looking forward to it.
We need to back the team but at the same time not be blind to reality. Current state of affairs is simply not good enough, plenty of time to turn it around but only if we face the truth.
30 Sep 2016 23:40:49
Ross w, every game he makes 60 min subs and I've not once seen him change tactics.
30 Sep 2016 23:46:27
Also 433 is playing one striker cause we have 2 wide men. when did we ever settle for that at ibrox. me for 1 says our system and shape need to change. let's play garner. waghorn and miller the width of there 18 yarder and let our full backs be the wide men. barry back pass mackay needs rocket up his butt.
01 Oct 2016 03:50:06
I agree with some of your post Ross but this "Warburton needs time" carry on is just nonsense. How long does a manager need to work on tactics? The record speaks for itself, take the semi final out of it have we been good enough for people to say warburtons the man? I stand by him only because he's the rangers manager, nothing else. His tactics are poor, there's no game plan imo. the wide men are too far apart from the striker, we lack direct passing, passing in behind the strikers. People say it's hard to break down 10 men, load of bollocks. Celtic manage it. There's players there that need to pull up their tights and get on with things, niggling injuries, sore legs bla bla bla. get on with it and stop this I'm out for 4 days with a bruise. As for the tactics there isn't any. Fox to centre back, centre back to full back, fully back to holding midfielder, holding midfielder to wide man, wide man to goal kick to the opposition. If your happy to wait another 2 years to challenge celtic then that's fair enough, remember they are strengthening, the gap is going to remain the same. Warburton is naive, arrogant and to me pretty ignorant, 4-3-3 doesn't work not unless you can u utilise the ball and press high which we can't. The blame has to be pointed at someone and people seem to think that it's not really warburtons fault, who's is it then?
01 Oct 2016 13:05:29
I've went my whole life being on a different level intellectually. It's not pretend. It's not arrogance. You just aren't used to someone with the self confidence and belief. Some people just have it and some don't. In sports science, in particular in football sports science there are a number of papers on the maximum number of km a player can cover to gain optimal recovery to minimise risk and injury. Rangers run 3 mids, one attacking, one defending and one box to box (Holt is the box to box, Rossiter the sitter and Kranjcar the attacker for example) the 60 minute sub is either Kenny Miller a man who can't cover the same kind of distance as a younger man due to age hindering his ability to recover, or the box to box mid who covers more distance than everyone. This is due to how the manager views muscle loading and his approach to sports science. This is explained by MW and if I remember the mans name who is head of sports science but I believe it is Jamie or something. These interviews are open to all Rangers TV subscribers which you clearly aren't medical degree or not. Look to last season and how "fortunate" we were with injuries the guy is meticulous and always puts the player fist so its obvious this is why he does it. I'm smart enough to know a medical degree will have nothing to do with the specific nature of football sports science so you won't offer anything more than the regurgitated information I've provided. I respect every ones opinion equally I just respect my own more. I don't pretend when I disagree and I'll say exactly what I think right or wrong, I'll always think I'm right and if you think I'm wrong, its your opinion but you'll never waver the confidence I have in myself. If you don't like that you don't need to read/ respect/ reply to anything I post I know there are plenty of people on here who enjoy reading what I have to say.
