He nearly always plays, of course. 

Yeah, maybe he should tell Clement he's to tired to play on Thursday.

There are a lot of things wrong on the field for RFC but it's quite simple really. #1 The players just aren't good enough and the money wasted on a variety of players is criminal. #2 The manager simply cannot deliver the coaching required to offer acceptable performances/results.

 

Will sacking the manager change #1? Probably not and the board have a lot to answer for the money wasted. There's also no transfer kitty for any new manager so is that a workable solution? This is where we need clear, transparent leadership explaining the route forward.

 

Very few managers of the quality required will fancy this job. Yes, its Rangers, yes the wage will be attractive and there will be interest but not from anyone with the ability to see the existing players and our fiscal limitations. Over to you Patrick Stewart.

Diomande has shown what he is capable of doing in flashes, but no where near consistent enough. Until he does, he isn't an upgrade on Kamara my opinion. 

Diamonde looks so much better when we play with a faster tempo. That probably goes for many of our players tbh.

Quite simply a team built for Europe and not The SPFL.

 

Sign some big b*stards.

Quality or not, rotating our team with evidently inferior players does not help the managers cause. His last two starting line ups have been awful. What was going to be achieved by playing Dowell today?

If he does, no-one, not even some on here, could blame him for the inevitable drubbing. 

There will be plenty of others blameworthy.

If you want a name - Propper, the worst cb we have fielded since Kiernan. In fact, he is almost Kribariesque.

It’s stupid. You have 5 subs. Start your best team. Have the game won by 60 mins and then start subbing guys to rest them.

Agreed. 

Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Young McCausland must have blotted his copybook if he can’t get a game ahead of some of the others.

Cannae wait until Thursday now, that 2nd half comeback has got me raring to go. Striding out to "Simply The Best", ready to destroy Celtic.
