    Suso and Sheridan's goals were almost identical in that McGregor was standing nowhere near the middle of the goal and if he had been, he should've saved both of them
  2. Dr Preston Burke
    McGregor's non-stop greeting at the defence, his refusal to ever come for crosses, and his aimless punts upfield are starting to grate somewhat. He started the season very brightly but he has looked very unconvincing lately imo. Virtually every goal we concede, whilst not being blatant errors, i find myself thinking McGregor looked lacklustre there (specific examples being Dundee United's 3rd in the 3-3, Dundee United's winner in the replay, Suso's goal at Tynecastle, St Johnstone's 1st and 3rd goals)

    McLeish played a lot of different formations, the only successful one being the 4-3-3 of his first 18 months Lovenkrands was a revelation on the left or in the centre of a 4-3-3. Then McLeish decided to play him as a left winger in 4-4-2, making him track back etc. He was so bad we ended up letting him go on trial to Middlesbrough at the start of the 05/06 season Also, he abandoned the 4-3-3 immediately after our best midfielder (and player) Barry Ferguson left for Blackburn. This was totally mind boggling as we went from a midfield trio of Ferguson, Ricksen, Arteta to a 4-4-2 with Arteta partnering first Emerson, and then Stephen Hughes

    Personally i'd have no qualms about selling McGregor and having Alexander as number 1 with Tuffey as backup. A squad as lopsided as ours (especially after the expected summer departures) does not need a �£5 million rated goalkeeper when his deputy is arguably just as good

    His performances for Birmingham beg the question; just why was he so ineffective and anonymous for Rangers last season? Ferguson and Mendes was an absolute shambles of a partnership yet he's looking outstanding with Lee Bowyer alongside him?

    So long as Kyle Lafferty isn't Boyd's replacement, i'd take anyone. Even Goodwillie.

    In a 2 team league, no fanbase will ever accept 2nd best because there's supposedly a long term plan in place. The PLG and Mowbray tenures have proven this. There would never be an exception. Against SPL dross, you should be able to play well and win almost every week.

    We're in a position now where results are all that matter, yes. Lets just get over the finish line and claim the title. But will i be buying this season's DVD? no thanks

    McLeish played 4-2-4 with 2 strikers as wingers (Lovenkrands and Arveladze) Lovenkrands was absolutely diabolical on the wing yet it took a mass injury crisis in 2005 before he got the chance to play up front
  10. Dr Preston Burke
    Pathetic scaremongering. Absolutely no chance of CSKA or Lyon winning the Champions League
  11. Dr Preston Burke
    It's not difficult to establish a proper midfield out of our players. Novo is a right winger as he has barely played more than 15 games as a striker in the last 4 years. Beasley is a left winger. Davis and Thomson/Edu are central midfielders. Our current team is so boring and the main reason is our slow, defensive-minded midfield
  12. Dr Preston Burke
    McCormack has never stopped slagging off Rangers and saying how much he wants to play for Celtic I'd put him in the McGeady and Lennon bracket
  13. Dr Preston Burke
    Liam Miller grew up a Celtic fan and left them as soon as he got the chance All i said was that Wilson doesn't have the emotional bond of being a Rangers fan, so it's less likely that he'll be 'desperate' to stay
  14. Dr Preston Burke
    If i'm not mistaken, isn't Wilson a Celtic fan? I don't think there's any great emotional pull with him at Rangers and i could easily see him leaving
  15. Dr Preston Burke
    Paul Lambert was universally praised for it yet he left after only 18 months to sign for a Celtic side who hadn't won the title in 10 years* *yes i know they fluked to victory at the end of that season
  16. Dr Preston Burke
    As i usually say before such a match, it's an utter disgrace if we start with 2 holding midfielders in a home game against Hamilton I think there's a chance Thomson might be dropped and our midfield being Novo Davis McCulloch Naismith
  17. Dr Preston Burke
    The only reason Davis got the chance to play in the centre was because of injuries to McCulloch and Thomson. McCulloch is Walter's golden boy and it would take one hell of a loss of form before he'd contemplate dropping him. Davis is totally and utterly wasted on the right and i would say is actually 50% less effective out there
  18. Dr Preston Burke
    Even hinting that Walter Smith has lost/is losing the dressing room beggars belief. This group of players (the Scottish contingent anyway) adore Walter Smith, a blind man could see that
  19. Dr Preston Burke
    Wikipedia actually says �£750,000 I'm sure both his signing fee and departure fee were 'undisclosed' but the general belief was that he signed for something like �£800,000 and left for something like �£1.5 million
  20. Dr Preston Burke
    Healy is finished and i want him nowhere near Ibrox. He struggles to even get a game on loan at Ipswich.
  21. Dr Preston Burke
    Do we have the funds to replace him with anyone? Will we claim the fit again Velicka is 'like a new signing' ? 12 months ago i had no qualms about the idea of Boyd leaving as i felt Lafferty was a better player anyway, but that idea is certainly out the window now There are bargains to be had out there. Daniel Cousin cost something like �£800,000 (i.e. less than 1/4 of what we paid for Lafferty )
  22. Dr Preston Burke
    He's going, though he'll play the 'i want to stay' card right up to 10 or 15 minutes after the final game of the season I'm cool with it. He's done his bit for the club but his form has been appalling since January, not even being glossed over by goals anymore, and i don't believe he's worthy of the �£18,000 a week on offer
  23. Dr Preston Burke
    Would be a great chance for a young Scottish lad to get out of the backwater but in reality, he'd probably rather play in the English Championship for someone like Bristol City
  24. Dr Preston Burke
    Wilson and Fleck are 2 more than Rafa has nurtured
  25. Dr Preston Burke
    Dick Advocaat signed Lafferty? He must've been about 12 at the time!
