I think Clement is to blame.

 

Around this time last year we were flying. We then lost to Motherwell at home (he changed the way Tav and BB/ Ridvan played - I said inverted, @Rousseau told me off! 😉), then our away form fell away (Ross County and Dundee). 

 

He also started making some really strange team selections and subs which had an impact on our form. 

 

Those decisions have been mirrored this season and @Rousseau XG and XGA tell a sorry story.

 

We should have won the league last season but capitulated and ended up a poor second (sounds all to familiar). 

Capitulated is the right word - and havent recovered since those results, just further regression.

If it was a blip then fair enough, he originally had enough credit after getting us into the title race this time last year after Beale disaster but now we have gone a longer period with these poor performances and results so quite rightly massive questions to be asked.

Other than Motherwell at home, it was away form that killed our league challenge last season. 

 

It's now obvious Clement hasn't learned a single lesson from last season as once again, it's our away form thats killed us this season. 

 

The Queens Park result was the last straw in my opinion. There should have been no return from that.

 

If Patrick Stewart is telling us the truth, we have the finance to sack Clement, so one wonders why he's still in place.

Im on the same page as you. Every Rangers team I can remember has had the odd home bizarre defeat like the Motherwell game, I remember being a game in 2000 under Advocaat as Kilmarnock won 3-0 at Ibrox. But they were total one offs and the bounce back was immediate. 

 

That defeat at Dingwall for me was the game where it all started and thats the one we didnt recover from.

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! @CammyF

 

(Title should be 2023-25 - 2nd January, 2023 (2-2 vs Celtic), to be precise, as that's when my data starts.)

Is this just for league games, or is it all matches? 

Thanks for creating it, it's very interesting.

For your next challenge...... 😀

 

Thanks for creating that, brilliant work.

 

Shows that both Beale and Clement started well, then form fell away.

I wonder how this XG stuff would have read it back in 64/65 when Killie won the league by .042 of a goal over Hearts who scored a lot more g7but conceded more than Killie

Hearts would have won it on goal difference.

 

@compo will remember 1957/58 when the Hearts were champions scoring 132 and conceding 29.
League points 62. We were second with 49. Only two points for a win in those days. Now it would be 91 and 71

The threshold of a generation of Gorgie greatness? Not quite. They won it again 1959/60 but only because they signed Hibs discard Gordon Smith and haven’t done a lot since. 

Things change in football. Sometimes suddenly.
