aftershock

I was the same as you Craig. Watching pre-season and the way we were playing fast attacking football, I couldn't wait for the season to start but a couple of games into it and something went wrong. Whether thats due to injuries to important first team players or just a lack of confidence throughout the team for some reason I dont know. I remember when we signed Rothen saying on the forum that Davis, Thomson, Mendes and Rothen would hopeully make a great midfield but not one of those players has played anywhere near the standard required at Rangers so far this season. I was a WS supporter but I have to say the way he continually plays players out of position, changes the team on a weekly basis and he cant be coaching corners or free-kicks as they are woeful (and have been for a long time) then I can't wait til our financial predicament is over and we get a new management team. Although that wont be til next season I would think.

Exactly!! Does that not say it all? Why do players continually play crap for us then move away and get rave reviews?? Seems to happen far too often....

Definitely hope he gets back to full fitness eventually, because we are carrying him right now. Maybe he should play next few months with reserves to get fit, as we cant afford to have him off the pace so much. Saying that, theres a few others who should be in the reserves!! Whittaker has had a few shockers this year and has been found out defensively. Davis has been another major disappointment and with the midfield mis-firing what chance do the strikers have?

He'd be lucky to get a game for the reserves had Wallace or Souness been in charge. But unfortunately times change and Ive a feeling he'll play, though I think he should be on bench as Wilson's doesn't deserve to be dropped.

Then again, so is Thomson right now though it hurts me to say that. Thought he was terrible last night. Doesn't look fit and his set pieces (apart from one free-kick) were shockng. Sooner Edu is back the better, though we said that about Thomson when he was injured!!

With Rothen looking like a good signing on the left, it would be great if we could hold on to Boyd and Mendes. Its been a while since we had a really good midfield and I think Rothen, Mendes, Thomson and Davis could be what we've been looking for.
