Bluedell 5,329 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So does Brown give Green the credit for the signings of Shiels and Black or only Cribari? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 is our win rate not about 50%. anyway I've watched us and I say we ate struggling. The point is if you are top of a league, you are not struggling in that league. The difficulty comes when you get a bizarre scenario like ours where you have a team far bigger and better paid then anyone else. Many Rangers fans would suggest we should be winning every week (and we pretty much should). But you cannot suggest that top of the league is struggling. It's an oxymoron. Even if we all want and demand far better from Rangers that is logically incorrect. Struggling by Rangers high standards, but not struggling in division 3. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 isn't the suggestion its not good enough for the SPL. How is that even relevant considering we're three leagues below the SPL? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 866 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The point is if you are top of a league, you are not struggling in that league. If one of the other teams had roared out of the blocks (like QoS in Div2) then things wouldn't look quite so nice. But the fact remains; Ally was given ample resources to win Div3 at a canter and probably the Ramsden's cup. The fact that we're under-achieving is not due to lack of funding. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Is there not other factors involved? Are we saying Aberdeen DON'T raise their game against us? Is that just a myth? Surely these teams are trying far harder against us than they were against Gretna? Also were Gretna actually playing 5 young players in every game including a couple of 17 year olds? I always get a bit sceptical about these comparisons where both teams win a league but one did it with more to spare. Does it really make it so much better? There are different conditions every year and the whole point is that it is a bit of a marathon and so there is time to get it right. Sometimes you are lucky and get it right from the off and sometimes it takes a bit of time. If we were way down the league there may be a point to make, but clear at the top is a strange one. Perhaps we should do what Gretna did and buy a load of players from the English lower divisions and take on a load of loans from English clubs higher up? Or should we try and develop our youths by giving them game time even though it means we will not set some league record for points and goals? To be honest, I can't help but agree with Brown. Our squad needs more depth and the fans are too impatient to put up with what we have now. Perhaps the return of Temps can be a bright spot on the horizon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 0 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 because green said we would be looking to win the cups? He said we'd be looking to be competitive, we've already managed that in the League Cup even if we lose tomorrow night. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
