The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Lord Duckhunter replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Exactly. There’s only 1 way to stop them and its unpalatable to a Human Rites lawyer like Sir Kier. You bang them up in some god forsaken detention centre in the middle of nowhere and keep them there for years. France or any other EU country will seem a lot more attractive than that. -
Personally I’d rather he played the correct formation at the start and didn’t have abandon it and chase the last 15 because we’re behind. Make no mistake, we’re extremely fortunate not to have only 1 point. There’s not many games you score 2 in injury time. To go behind in 100% of our league games must indicate that something is amiss.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

How do you send people back to Afghanistan or Syria? -
It’s amazing how many perfectly placed shots he faces, more than any other keeper I’ve ever known. He is truly the unluckiest keeper that’s ever played the game. The amount of unstoppable shots he faces is remarkable. I’ve not seen anything quite like it in 50 years of watching. The closest I can think of is the remarkable amount of world class Banks like saves from opposing keepers that dogged Shane Long during his career.
-
Only when we’re behind and there’s about 10 mins left. He throws on a forward and withdraws a centre half. It’s like sides throwing a centre half up front, managers aren’t showing their tactical flexibility or tactical genius, it’s a fucking Hail Mary move. If it was 0-0 he wouldn’t have done it.
-
That’s what he said. One of the Jocko pundits said the disagreement should have remained in the dressing room, which is when Sutton reckoned he brought it up to deflect criticism of his tactics.
-
This is it in a nutshell. It’s either an easy save or a goal. The only one I can think of is Wrexham. That’s about it, 1 save where I thought it was a goal in 70 odd friggin games. There were 8 or 9 of them when Ramsdale was in nets. I doubt there’s one game where the opposing supporters thought “I wish we had Baz in nets”, not one.
-
Nobody is saying that. All people want is him to make the occasional good save. I can count his decent saves on the fingers of one hand, and I mean fingers not thumb.. How many games has he played, got to be over 70, how many times has he done what the Stoke lad did and saved a certain goal, twice, 3 times? He’s either the unluckiest keeper ever, facing so many “unstoppable “ efforts, or he’s not very good. I know which one I think it is….
-
😂 Chris Sutton’s got his number. Lego deflecting blame from himself. Reckons it’s the second time he’s done it already.
-
He’s just thrown the sub under the buss.
-
The pundits basically saying Rangers played well once they got desperate and abandoned Lego ball.
-
First permanent Rangers manager in history not to have won any of their first 3 games 😂
-
77% possession 0 shots 😂😂
-
It’s legitimate to question a managers tactics no matter how long he’s been in charge. What do you want, a non criticism clause put on posts? Calling for him to go after 3 games is clearly ridiculous, questioning his decisions and tactics is perfectly reasonable.
-
Why? It’s a forum to discuss things. It’s not “ludicrous” to question whether Downs is a good signing, why can’t we discuss doubts about Still. Nobody is saying we should bin him, but people are concerned with elements of his short time in charge. If he plays Jack Stephen’s up front next week, is it “ludicrous “ to question his decision?
-
See what happens with a proper keeper. Swap those 2 yesterday & Stoke lose that game.
-
Where does this rubbish come from. He’s got far far superior players than the rest of the league at Rangers & hadn’t won a league game yet. The margins at the highest level are so minimal, that a shit manager could easily fail with the best players. You’ve drunk the Lego Kool Aid. If he went to City, he’d fail.
-
Exactly. We chuck on forwards left right and centre & take a centre half off, because we’re losing. It’s reactive, he’s shown zero flexibility when it comes to his actual starting line up.
-
Says who? The bloke that plays Armstrong as a centre forward and thinks THB can defend wide in a 3.
-
It’s still 3 centre halves, changing the names isn’t being flexible.
-
Moving from one system we’re not suited to play, to another one we’re not suited to play, isn’t being “pragmatic”. Playing a back 4 with Charles/Downes centrally , with Fraiser & Robinson wide, MF in the 10, and Stewart or Downs up top is.
-
Do other fans constantly blame the board/ recruitment for managers failings? We had it with Ralph, with Lego and now starting to get it with Still. It’s the managers job to get the best out the players he’s given, and on the very small sample size so far, this bloke isn’t doing so. Personally, I like a back 3 (it’s not a back 5 no matter how many times posters post it is). But, you need defenders/wing backs/Central midfield capable of doing so. In Manning, Wellington & Frasier I feel we have the wing backs capable at this level, but our centre halves and Downes/Charles lack the necessary skill set. You need defenders that are comfortable defending wider, ours are like a fish out of water when they get ran into the channels. You need the central of the 3 to be capable of playing the ball quickly and he also needs to be able to read the game. Our central midfielders don’t have the discipline to play the role ( think OR). To then compound it all by playing an ineffective midget up front is fucking borderline gross negligence. He seems to have caught the Lego disease of “this is how I want to play”, instead of “this is how we need to play with this squad”. Gradually move towards your preferred system over a couple of windows, but here and now put round pegs in round holes. In other words, do your fucking job….Not impressed so far, but it’s incredibly early days.
