For those complaining about DMs style of football. Have u honestly enjoyed watching Rangers in recent years with the other systems we played apart from the 55 season? Tonight again We created about a dozen chances we could and probably should have taken. We create more chances than anyone else in the league but unfortunately just aren't taking them. That's not all the managers fault they missed the final touch. And they are a really young inexperienced bunch of forwards.
It might not be pretty at times but I'd much rather this with clean sheets, lots of chances created and 3points instead of the garbage we've endured for years of pointless possession around the back, constantly losing stupid goals, not creating chances, a total reliance on a RB for most of our goals and assists and drawing these games.

We'd all love expansive free-flowing football, but alas, we're not there yet, there was some gd passages of play in amongst some that were laboured, at the chances, we need to be ruthless, forwards with experience will grow. Midfield for me, needs looked at, personnel and 2 or a 3, think it's too stretched with 2.

Kaiser, I'm the guy you are probably pointing at as I posted a few messages after a few beers last night.
Mate, you said it yourself when you noted that it may not be pretty at times.
I'm happy with Del, happy with this group of young lads and delighted with the results. Those are the most important things.
Id 100% take all this over us playing 4-3-3 every week, struggling to break down defences by passing the ball about and keeping possession.
Let's hope it keeps working and Let's keep backing the team mate.

Rostosto not pointed at you or anyone in particular mate though beer posts always more fun. 😜.

Whereby i agree with the vast majority of what you're saying Kaiser, i am still baffled by what appears to be our tactical approach at times. First half last night our two strikers seemed to spend more time in our own box than they did in St Mirren's. You can't counter attack or press effectively seventy to eighty yards from the opponent's goal. I'm still trying to fathom why our two CB's swapped sides, and why Minsu is not deployed as a 10 where he can be more influential in linking play and creating more.
Minsu is no Neil McCann or similar type who gets to the byline and puts crosses in. I think he is wasted on the wing, and wonder why the coaches deploy him there. I think we have been awesome in two games this season, both against Celtic, the rest of the time we have looked average and laboured.

I know Port Glasgow. Hark at me, a grumpy moaning git normally trying to be positive. 😂😂. There is still plenty to debate without slagging DM. You would think we'd been used to watching some great stuff berore he arrived with some of the comments tho.
Think he's still trying to find the best way to play our wingers/number 10s. Our forward need to play as a 2 so it's how to get the best out of the others.

There is absolutely no reason to play 3 in midfield. Our 442 is breaking teams down where previously playing 433 would have cost us points. We have finally found our formula and people want to go back to a system that has failed us every year except one.
If we took our chances last night, it could have been 5 or 6. Derek is doing a great job and trusts this system as do I.
08 Nov 2026 09:23:16
No one said go back to a 3, but could do no worse than look at it as an option as it's more about the personnel in a 2 or a 3 and their role, try reading the post.
It didn't work last night, as we were poor in my for long spells, just like if pandur hadn't bailed us out it's a different game. Just for info my preference is actually 4-3-1-2.
08 Nov 2026 09:29:38
We're a little bit blah at the moment.
Our system helps us create chances, but it also means we give up control for huge spells of the game.
It also means we are incredibly unbalanced and are over reliant on the left hand side, when ironically our most dangerous player is probably our RW.
Personally, I'd like us to be a little more flexible and adapt in game, which at the moment we just aren't doing.
Personally, I just don't like seeing us play 70-80 minutes with one midfielder, but I'll get used to it if we're winning.
08 Nov 2026 09:32:52
Think being able to adapt in games is important, so 3 be good at times too.
08 Nov 2026 09:34:19
The style is not great. We have flashes of great football. Maybe i am wrong, but it's more about the slack play, poor decision making and what I have read I think fans are more worried in that we have been lucky that teams haven't capitalised on them more at times
Like last night loads of chance but not finishing enough for us.
Other teams if taken a chance or two, it's different story.
Then again, that's football.
We need to see progression and improvement.
Is there any
Is there enough?
Is it happening quick enough?
Are individual learning?
Is management learning?
Are we putting in into practice?
I think it's more the frustration on these things.

Spot on EHL, that why u were using binoculars last night 😉👍.
08 Nov 2026 09:52:37
Guys, i really like the idea we play with two good wingers in Bouanani and minsu who i really like. 👍 Wingers i've always liked in a team and win you games out of nothing. 👍🇬🇧
I always have liked watching good wingers doing their thing 👍🇬🇧.
08 Nov 2026 10:21:29
As long as we are winning I honestly don't care from where we have been the past few years.
08 Nov 2026 10:55:21
They were fancy AI binoculars Fork, provided real-time analysis of the game and real time Polls on where each player was destined to move to.
Hopefully the system upgrade over the international break improves functionality to help counter Dan Neil's invisibility cloak.
08 Nov 2026 11:02:31
100% bud 😄👍.
08 Nov 2026 11:15:14
If u think that worked then carry on, only person with an issue is you, you haven't shut up about it over your many names, and learn to read no one said go back to a 3, though we finished with it last night.
08 Nov 2026 12:27:05
Really not a Neil fan are u EHL? 😂.
08 Nov 2026 13:06:45
Correct Kasier, few have many scapegoats he's one of EHL, Niel never had a good game last night but waa decent, he clearly never seen him breaking the lines a few times, just glad he has know say, or we wouldn't only be 1 point behind.
08 Nov 2026 13:35:42
There is a lack of flair the team, nobody who gets you on your feet when they get the ball. The midfield two are functional , the two big strikers close down and occupy centre backs and the wingers ( pick any two from the four), don't go past people or get shots away.
Although he had a bad night last night Makhanya is usually the only one who does something different when he gets on the ball .We also waste too many clear cut chances and considering the money we have spent on forwards that is disappointing.

Kaiser, I actually think he's a really good footballer, however think he's really ineffective for huge chunks of games - which shouldn't happen from your captain, especially when playing in a 2 man midfield.
If you look at Hearts last season, they were extremely effective when they played a midfield two of Leonard and Magnusson, as Leonard could dictate play on the ball from all over the pitch and Magnusson is probably one of the best midfielders in the league without the ball. What I mean by that is he will run box to box, disrupting play and moving opposition about without worrying about being on the ball.
Neil spend all game picking up pockets of space in the midfield, but is very rarely involved. For me, him and Raskin just don't work as a 2 and my personal preference is Raskin.
