der Berliner 4,030 Posted Saturday at 22:21 Share Posted Saturday at 22:21 Ferguson can do FO about the horrendous defending that some of our players present. Granted, our first choice defence has hardly been seen this season, but more often than not it is others who do the damage. That's twice in a week that Jefte has been caught out, and it resulted in goals. The lad is but 22 and methinks he's hardly played so many games in these circumstance in a season. But there comes a point when the manager has to take action. Play him further ahead and Ridvan behind him (for lack of options). And FFS punish anyone who does this suicidal side- and back-passing in our third while the opposition press the ball. Time and again, people get caught out. Said it before, Raskin and Diomande are a dysfunctional unit. They stay in the same areas, too narrow to each other and/or too far away from the defence. Likewise, neither is regularly covering the free spaces in front of the penalty area, where balls are often picked up by a spare defender. It was plain to see time and again this season. Hopefully we get Barron back soonish, albeit he's no Jack or Davis just yet either. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raskin and Diomande can't play together but Raskin and Barron can with Raskin pushing further up into a CM role whilst Barron holds the rear. Jefte has got talent for that im sure about but yet again is it just the lack of communication?Jefte also needs to use his right foot every now and again 🤣 I was at the game today and the Amount of miss communications be it simple passes or that was having me question don't they know how each player likes the ball played to them?

Popular Post buster. 5,450 Posted yesterday at 00:02 Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 00:02 (edited) Thought the momentum, the Barry bounce might have lasted a little longer, but I was wrong. Can't say I am optimistic about the Europa League but you never know. Dead rubbers in the league, but little in the way of youngsters getting a chance. We aren't winning with experience. Give someone a chance. Edited yesterday at 00:03 by buster. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 1,119 Posted yesterday at 04:28 Share Posted yesterday at 04:28 The new manager bounce gone - if there was ever one. I had a week away and barely got online but the events of the last week have been jaw dropping. There had to be better options for interim with a view to looking ahead - very knee jerk reaction and the board whoever made the decision thinking ex Rangers would turn it around. I cant believe the interim selections - I think thats McCann and Dodds media careers over when this temp job is over. Ferguson and McGregor were top drawer on the pitch but off the park there seriously lacked a lot of things and for me a leopard doesnt change its spots. We have to rip it up and start again. TBH the squad mess started with Beale who torn things up and Clement tried his best to get players in but there is a deep lying issue at the club and that is injuries - at the start of the season it was mentioned they were looking into this - I can only guess they just extended the treatment room and bought in more beds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think theres a manager on the planet that will get a tune out of the squad of dross. Terrible signings year after year by absolutely clueless management and idiots in the boardroom are why we are in this mess. Americans taking over the club is a scary thought as well , most fans of other clubs with American owners detest them and want them out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locked ward 139 Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Wonder which one of the Brain Trust (Fergie , Dodds, McCann, Greegs) thought sending Lawrence on at half time was going to help us.

From the boardroom, to the dugout and onto the players, all their brains appear to be frazzled. Are we the Manchester United of Scotland or are they the Rangers of England? Years taking a JCB to dig the holes deeper and deeper. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
