Two goals in 12 seconds! PSG (and Pocchettino) bottling it, again.

Kamara is one of my favourite players, and I was saying we should sell him last season/this summer. But, Noooooo... 'he's one of our best players, we cannae sell him!'

Rangers 1 - 0 Crvena Zvezda FGS Morelos

Rangers vs Crvena Zvezda

Sorry--I'm late with this one. What are your thoughts, folks?

Or a back three, which he has tried before, to good effect. Not sure why he hasn't tried it again?

I think Wright is a good signing: a young player with a lot of talent. That's the signings we want. He's a squad player at best at the moment. He came in a few games ago and did 'well', I think. We're looking for more now, but also more in terms of development. We got it wrong with Simpson. He looks poor all round. However, the profile is there: young player, picked up for nothing that we can develop. He'll probably find a Championship club. Ofoborh is just unfortunate, finding that heart defect after signing. He may still be able to play again. Like I've said, I think the recruitment has been fine. It's the right profiles. However, not every signing works; that's always the case. We can all quibble about individuals (Sakala is inconsistent, but I think he's been good), but only Simpson, I think, is a bad one all-round? That's not to say we don't need more quality signings, because we do.

Bielsa is available... #JustSaying

The jury is in, for me. I've never been convinced. I've really dropped off in terms of watching our games. I've not been enjoying it - even the early wins (admittedly very good wins) were rather poor, for me. I didn't want him pre-SG, I didn't want him post-SG. I felt that, for most, the only attribute he had going for him was that he was a former Rangers player, so 'got it', which doesn't make sense, to me. (I did get caught up in the excitement of getting him, but I think that'll always be the case with a new manager.) I've posted this before, but I have a distrust of Dutch managers. I think they are too wedded to a certain style and atmosphere, that only really works and exists with certain players and clubs (Dutch clubs or Barcelona); systems in which everyone is geared towards one way of playing. That would be nice to recreate, but we're not in that position. In some ways we're seeing this Dutch style: lots of possession, but very little cutting edge - add to that a bomb-scare defence, then you're not in a good place. I think the recruitment has been fine. We're skint. We spent and spent to get 55. I know most would like us to keep spending, but it's not feasible - not unless we want another 'journey' through the lower leagues. We've signed 'quality' players, for minimal outlay, to improve the first-team - that haven't quite found their place. I think that's the manager's fault. I think the squad is still quite good, generally speaking. We can always do with more quality additions, though. And we've signed some good back-ups. However, the manager's position is Wilson's fault. I think our DoF has made a mistake in going with GvB.

I don't subscribe to this. Are you referring to Lundstram and Sakala, specifically? I think they are good players, that have just taken a while to find their role. Lundstram in particular, I think, was signed to play a certain position but couldn't fulfill it; but now that he's found his DM role, he's been superb. Sakala is similar in the sense we're not quite getting the best out of a decent player. This squad is good. GvB should be able to get a tune out of them. Basically, we should not need a rebuild every time a new manager comes in; that's unsustainable and goes against one of the main purposes of having a DoF.

Yes, if Kent plays like he did against Dortmund every week, he's playing for Dortmund.

Interesting scores. We have most getting the 1 point, but we have four correct scores, all at the top of the table. Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): Rousseau, Ted, Dado, and DJ. FGS (2 pts): - Correct Score (3 pts): Rousseau, Ted, Dado, and DJ. Latest Standings:

Whoop.

I didn't even cheer the goal. Says it all...

Zero shots on target? Eh!?

Apologies for being late to update the thread title, but going by the comments, I've not missed much...

Rangers 1 - 0 Aberdeen FGS Aribo

Rangers vs Aberdeen

By my calculation, you are on 1.50 points-per-game, which would place you 8th. Our "current" leader is on 1.78 PPG. You've made a decent start.
