Travers Gooch McNally Rose Jr Pearson Sidibe Haks DJ Vidigal Wesley why are people picking rose over last years POTS (albeit little choice) wilmot? Rose wouldnt get in vales team Pots means nothing but even still it was ridiculous it was given to him, he's been a mainstay in a poor defence. Something needs to be done and dropping him hasn't been tried, it needs to happen, he's a massive liability.

I think we''ve got to eliminate the unselectables, and then just do the best we can with the rest. At the moment, I'd say we can't pick Rose or Wesley. Probably Gayle too. So we are limited. Travers Hoever Wilmot McNally Gooch Pearson Burger (or Laurent) Johnson Haks Vidigal Bae If you think you need a bit more physicality up there, it's got to be Lowe ahead of Wes or Gayle Why can't we pick Wesley? He's been fine when we actually play to his strengths, it just hasn't happened enough.

He could pick a starting 18 and we will still do our best to make a mess off it. Im travelling to the game in hope rather than expectation 🙏

Every year we seem to be badly hamstrung by significant player injuries and it stops our season before it even properly starts. If other teams are having the same issues it makes me wonder how the issue has less apparent effect in the clubs that are achieving? Is it a strength in depth thing, a coaching and training thing, relative squad fitness levels,manager's that are not good at adapting to new circumstances or a combination of all those issue? .. or am I just misreading the situation entirely? Bristol City is the next game and we are struggling for options in defence and attack, I do know that much I always think back to the season got us promoted. I remember a midweek point at Preston where we had players injured and just defended. We coped with injuries and would still be hard to beat because we had a good pool of defenders to choose from. Defence always comes first Yes it's impossible to build anything on weak foundations.. that is a truth that should not be forgotten. Edit www.ibroxnews.com/2023/09/29/ben-davies-proves-rangers-right-after-decision-to-turn-down-late-transfer-move/I read earlier we tried to get Davies for virtually nothing in that we tried to get his club to agree a loan with them paying almost all his wages late on jn the window. Given we had money that seems verging on ridiculous! You may know more though mate given your Glasgow connections?

Gooch is getting an easy ride. He's been awful at full back. He's always outside the line of the pass and so he gets done by players running off his shoulder. He's not a full back. We've got a promising young player we chased all summer. Fucking play him! Travers Hoever Wilmot mcnally Tchamadeu Pearson Laurent Haksabanovic Bae. Vidigal Lowe/anyone but Wes Here's my 11 1 Hartshillbadger 2 Glasgowstokie 3 Toxicavenger 4 Bristolmick 5 Owdstokie 6 Pugsley 7 Skip 8 Lordb 9 Me of course 10 Benjaminbiscuit 11 Huddysleftfoot Subs Anyone else off this board. Formation- we'll decide that after kick off. Solid line up i reckon. Did well to remember 11 names off this board 😆 🤣 Can’t wait to bollock Huddy for not tracking back!

Travers
Hoever McNally Wilmot Gooch

I honestly think even with everyone fit our best formation will be a 4-2-1-3

If you are driving and your car isn’t compliant with the clean air zone, to avoid the fee you’ll need to come down the M5 all the way to Junction 19 (Gordano Services) and then turn left onto the A369. Ground is close to end of this road about 7 miles away. BM

Taylor isnt good enough for the championship right now, wouldnt play enough games and so it came across like it was best to sell on all parties. Tymon has gone for FFP reasons and because we weren't going to play with wingbacks. As for this weekend, we will lose to a well organised team because we will be goo tactically aggressive for the win and will just get picked off. That said, bar Dickie they've not got a tall player, so hopefully no set piece goals to be conceded. Taylor might not he good enough but we have 3 CB's and a left back who can play there except we need him at left back It's insane What was the point in keeping him the manager would have played someone out of position in front of him anyway he clearly didn’t rate him. Burger, Hoever and Laurent have all played games at CB in their professional career. It’s a hypothetical emergency that may never even occur. Now why did he let a player go who scored goals at this level (even though I couldn’t stand him Brown) when in the main the attacking/creative players he’d signed/has since signed haven’t shown much basis for expecting them to replace those goals(exception being Mmaee who’d scored regularly but at a very questionable level). I’m pretty sure he expected to get a player who both he and we could expect to be more prolific rather than blind hope. You’re identifying a problem that might bight us on the arse rather than one that very much is biting us on the arse.

Well at some point we are going to be without two of our CB's I think even though AN didn't rate Taylor he would have played him at CB rather than play Gooch or Hoever or whoever he sticks there 4 actual CB's is a minimum number required surely? If not Taylor then should have got one of the freebies in

You're right. I am. But a long time ago now. But I've got more about me at 87, than most of these on our books. He should take them on our P course. That would sort them out. They've got no backbone. I love the fact you're on the Oatcake at 87. Makes OldStokie sound like some Boomer! Thanks. I'm here because I love the Club. I've been a supporter since about 1950. I've been here since Bob McGrory was Manager. So heard all the arguments, & seen lots of ups & downs. We'll have some ups soon, I'm sure of it. I still have a season card, got a membership for Ricardo's upstairs, park behind the Boothen, & go on the Boothen with my 2 sons & grandson. I'm told that I don't look my age. I put that down to my 3 years in the Para's. Stay positive.
