Match Thread [FT] St Mirren 2 - 2 Rangers (Dessers 42'; Raskin 52')

[CammyF 9,360]

It's simple, we replaced 1 poor coach with another, what did we all expect?

Weak, bullied again by a bigger, faster, stronger team.

All down to fitness and conditioning.

Bringing Barry & co in was a terrible mistake. We have regressed massively. Some of our players are going backwards at an alarming rate. If we loose Nico Raskin we will be fighting for third.

Fergusons after match press conference says it all 

 .....

"When you speak to them individually and as a group and you ask them to do things and they don't do it, what is the point? That's the thing that frustrates me."

Stark admission 

 

Drop those who aren't trying a leg and play youngsters.

So how do you explain the start of the season up to the rumours of a takeover? 

I can’t explain it and I don’t think anyone on here can, we only hear what’s going on at the club  when it’s made public or they give explanations for the way they want to see the club being run,  so far I think I’ve had more of a understanding of the fiasco from our former captain and intern manager Barry Ferguson and his assessments of what’s been going on behind closed doors especially from his press conference today.

You can be the fittest man on the planet but when the team isn’t helping you by carrying the load it soon starts to make you feel weak and Dessers is a prime example of this along with a few others, majority only turn up for the big games like next Sunday will probably be the case.

Avoiding defeat by St Mirren is progress. Maybe Barry’s got a chance after all.

Oh it can - it can make you strong on the ball (just think Bassey and Aribo), and can make you faster than your opponent.

 

The squads fitness is a disgrace and was something the Belgian Waffle said he'd address  - in retrospect he's made it worse (like a lot of things).

 

BF will carry the blame for limping to the end of the season with an unfit squad of players who've been conditioned to being 2nd. 

 

We sacked Clement (rightly) but due to the impending takeover were unable to appoint a permanent manager, so the board done what the do best, went for the easy option. 

 

Until we appoint a board and footballing structure who can get us fit, hungry and have a winning mentality/desire we'll continue to struggle.

 

This board conditioned us to be 2nd best and some of us bought it. Getting exactly what we deserve.

This forum doesn't have a sad face reaction, but if it did, this comment would get one.

 

How grim.
