Hope all this got to play the boy dodoo will stop now it's clear as day he is just as bad as the rest and another dud signing and same with hodson if he was to play week in week out that would show aswell both league 1 standered players not good enough just like pretty much the whole squad Wallace and miller aside.

07 May 2017 23:58:29
He's definitley not a dud he's just a raw talent with a lot to learn

08 May 2017 00:19:57
He's a striker stuck out on the left wing of a totally imbalanced team. A young raw talent. Why are you so keen for him to fail?

08 May 2017 01:32:02
I don't want him to fail it's just he is always getting mothered every week it's like put dodoo on when the fact is he has been on the bench because he is simply not good enough. And he is 22 next month yet gets treated like he some 16year old talent do you not think a player of 22years old who had any real talent wouldant of shown more than he has by now? He is the same age as hydmen and look at the difference in quality and hydmen even younger was playing first team at Fulham dodoo is miles away from that level and if hydmen came in and played poor he would be labelled a flop or dud so why is dodo getting away with it? He was a new summer signing yet It's clear as day he is not good enough so that to me is a dud.

08 May 2017 07:27:34
Agree deanobear never saw what people see in him I want him to do well but we have to face the facts he's not got enough

08 May 2017 08:12:20
Dodo was playing well for Leicester, highly thought of and they wanted to keep him. They are a better team than us at mo so that may show he has something in his locker. Played as striker there

08 May 2017 08:43:55
Not sure he would succeed as it's clear when we play Celtic he doesn't fancy the physical aspect of the game was clearly hiding in the recent game at Ibrox and didn't fancy it when he was brought on in the league cup semi

08 May 2017 09:56:11
He's a guy who has only played 20 odd professional games. He doesn't suit a 433. At the moment I see him as an impact sub but if he improves his hold up play I think he could be a regular. The one thing I've hated this season is our strikers always receive the ball with Their backs to goal.

08 May 2017 09:59:19
Just like most, no actually all players, if given a good run of games and getting upto game speed i can see him being decent, if played in his natural position and the creative players needed come to provide chances, i do see a good pkayer in him, maybe lacking confidence?

08 May 2017 11:18:24
He nearly scored what would have been a brilliant goal don't forget

08 May 2017 11:20:41
That's unfair I think miller and Wallace are good enough to play in league 1.

08 May 2017 23:46:46
What is the fascination with wallace? As i said over last few months tav constantly gets criticised for not tracking back or poor defending but wallace is the same if not worse. Forgetting last celtic game incidents in first game wallace was injured left back area looked significantly more solid than when wallace plays.

07 May 2017 22:19:57
McCoist did it, warburton did it now PC is doing it and playing players out of position. Why did he play Miller, waghorn, garner and dodoo together. How can he judge dodoo unless he goes through the middle. Waghorn not a winger, not sure what he is though and garner feeds off a partner in a top two.

08 May 2017 01:15:19
I reckon that Pedro has been trading water since he arrived, while he assessed what he had at his disposal. Worryingly, I doubt that he will be given the level of funding necessary to make a significant difference and as a result we will have another season of failure.

Then there will be question marks over Pedro and the real problem will not be resolved.

08 May 2017 03:12:54
Pedro could have played some of the young guys, but not all of them and had he not won he would have got pelters. Right now he is between the devil and the deep blue sea because he has players injured and most of what is left are not fit for purpose.

There will be plenty of quality players available for signing come June. Indeed he has given the Board a list of 10 or 12 potential signings and the ball is in their court to recruit the best six or seven of these. If they do then we should expect results from Pedro. If they don't then it is them that are to blame if we have another failed season.

08 May 2017 08:05:02
Because we are struggling for midfielders that's reason players are playing out of position

08 May 2017 08:48:05
TOMUSA

Realistically how many of our young players are ready to make the step up? The youth team didn't do that well in the development league and a few others are out on loan and couldn't play.

08 May 2017 09:59:34
Really don't think next season is going to be much better not going to get enough funds to be anywhere near Celtic but might just get secnd

07 May 2017 18:51:06
Gutless performance today,2nd is now gone so let's use the last few games to blood the youngsters. garner waghorn dodoo windass please disappear over Hadrians wall, oh and tavernier too.

07 May 2017 19:17:26
Shocking performance even though we did win in the end
If our defence looks anything like that next season we won't be going far in Europe
I'm sure was after about 60-70 mins before we had a shot on goal against Partick - very very poor

Lots of talk about getting shot of half the team
I agree most are not good enough to wear the shirt but who's going to want to buy them

07 May 2017 20:57:01
Don't pretend to know anything bout the boy atakayi but let's face it he cudnt be any worse than any of the above so why not give him a go?

07 May 2017 18:08:43
Ok we played well for at 10 mins the rest was gutless and pathetic What on earth did the fans come onto the park for It was against Thistle for gods sake! I hope the manager gets the majority of players he's after because the present team can't cut it and don't appear to follow what the manager wants ( I hope it's the players and not tactics ) Role on next season it must be better.

07 May 2017 18:53:21
Nothing to do with beating thistle. It was the fact we have secured European football.

07 May 2017 19:16:00
Going by that performance it really is hard to see who really is worth keeping in that team, as for waghorn another shambolic shift from him

07 May 2017 19:39:29
Why play Wags on the right?

07 May 2017 21:11:43
Why play waggy at all?

07 May 2017 21:16:49
Why play Wags at all? He is absolutely mince!

07 May 2017 13:17:48
This should have been team today.
Gk foderingham
Defence - bates hill wilson
Rwb - atakayi
Lwb - beerman
Midfield - tav and holt and mckay
strikers - miller dodoo.

07 May 2017 15:08:19
Missed the game today people, was it really as bad as the posts sound?

07 May 2017 15:42:38
Took until 83rd minute to get a shot on target against a pub team! That sums it up

07 May 2017 17:35:01
That is because it was two Pub Teams! We need a massive clear out and the acquisition of some quality new players!

07 May 2017 17:42:18
Can anyone tell me what the manager sees in Waghorn? Atrocious against Celtic twice but still starts. Was no surprise to see hooked before the hour mark complete waste of space

07 May 2017 19:21:53
Common RFCinfinity, i grant you it was a poor performance from us, but don't discredit partick thistle as they're certainly NOT a pub team!

07 May 2017 19:27:33
Atakayi is nowhere near ready for the first team. Why do people think he should be in the team? He struggled in the youth cup final 😔

07 May 2017 20:08:20
Sorry Supercoop but they are terrible! Aberdeen are a pub team too like it or not and they will prove it when they get horsed by some nobodies from nowhere in the Europe League qualifiers!

07 May 2017 21:46:35
Agree with RFCinfinity all Scottish teams won't be anywhere near the group stages of the Europa league we will do well to survive first round

07 May 2017 13:04:19
Whats pedro going to say. oh i know sorry my fault again. Or i don't understand football. basically team with no midfield at all. 5 strikers. Stupid. Be better playing 352 or even hill and bates at cb and wilson infront. Manager has lost the plot. Complete idiot.

07 May 2017 13:42:32
It's not really down to him! You can play decent players in any formation and they will perform! This lot would be outclassed by my fives team! Utterly hopeless

07 May 2017 14:30:24
The reason he hasn't played a midfield is that we don't have a midfield! The loanees are injured, the only decent midfield players we have are injured. Who would we play, that waster Halliday?

What we are seeing now, is how pathetically poor the players are and basically that there has been little or no decent quality players brought to Rangers for the past five years. let's wait and see what happens for next season or whether it will be more of the same.

07 May 2017 15:01:26
Hate to say it but I just don't think Pedro is up to the job. And before people say there not his players it doesn't matter he doesn't seem able to set up a team. Mcleish would of at least set a team up properly.

07 May 2017 15:03:26
Miller, garner, wags? Only garner been up front. dodoo be better giving his top to a supporter to play. think he got injured with water sprinkler before kick off. on attack and what happens the ball gets played back to wilson? Great move let's hope 2nd have better lol yeah will be if we go away with a 1-0 defeat.

07 May 2017 12:15:05
Maybe playing waggy and garner is a good thing today as when they'll flop ped will see they don't have the right attitude to play for rangers. Hope to see barjonas, dallas and the finn all off the bench. Hopefully for once windass puts in a shift or he's out aswell.

07 May 2017 14:28:36
In my opinion Windass was brutal from start to finish and needs to go asap and take waghorn with him.

07 May 2017 06:50:48
Everyone on her rating rossiter hardly touched the ball to rate him, maybe there's a reason Liverpool let him go? Maybe I'm wrong but what has he done to be classed as a good player.

{Ed001's Note - he was let go because of injury problems.}

07 May 2017 10:58:44
What he's done is to break into liverpool first team squad at young age play in europe for them and be a stick out through the england unders team! Rave reviews from all over england tipped as future england captain etc! Having watched him myself on numerous occasions I stick by what I've posted here before, if he overcomes injury then forget broony armstrong etc rossiter would be top man in our lge

07 May 2017 11:14:28
Between rossiter, crooks, windass, senderos and kranjcar all seem to be injury prone, our recruitment by frank macparlane and mark warburton has been an utter disgrace for this season

07 May 2017 11:31:37
We have a bit of form in hiring players and having to wait for them injuring them at training

07 May 2017 12:24:28
Nic_861, the problem is that in his career to date he's only made about 10 first team appearances, including the 5 he played for Liverpool. It's easy to look good in teams full of kids but he's completely unproven in first team football. He's the same age as Dembele/ Tierney and they play week in / week out for the manky mob, Rossiter has to be considered a nothing player until he can prove otherwise. Plan for next season without him and if we have him available and he turns out to be a player then that's a bonus.

07 May 2017 13:50:22
Here here Nic_861! Exactly mate! For anyone who's watched rossiter playing they would think the same about him! He's a superb young midfielder! Hope he's over his injury hell and everyone who doesn't already know how good he is, won't be long in finding out how good he is!

07 May 2017 14:56:44
He's 19, still a kid, give him time.

07 May 2017 15:19:00
What I'm hearing is that Rossiter has a muscle waisting condition. His football career looks very bleak. That's why Liverpool released him. Just passing on what I've heard. Has anyone else heard this?

07 May 2017 02:51:42
Hope pedro throws in some of the kids tomorrow and gives alnwick a start.

07 May 2017 09:25:54
It depends how serious he is about this "cull" of players. If he is serious about certain players not good enough and being replaced then he should put them in. Change them today. But he wont. i think this cull talk is a load of nonesense. Rangers don't have the funds available to pay off 6 or 7 contracts and bring in 4 or 5 good players. Pedro makes a lot of grand statements but let's see how many are followed through. He reminds me of Ronnia Dalia when he arrived at Celtic. If Rangers get 6 players out the door and 4 in i think that's the best he can do and then its down to the new ones being significantly better. So today i don't expect him to give any kids a chance as he is going to need that same squad next season.

07 May 2017 10:38:07
Hoping to see as many new faces as possible now that we have no realistic chance of second place.

I see Celtic threw in a few new faces yesterday and both apparently slotted in well. I don't see why we can't do the same.

07 May 2017 11:33:45
If he plays players will he get the same pelters on here as against the Dhims

07 May 2017 12:17:53
Naz, did you see the youth cup final? There is as big a gap at that level as there is in the first team. Maybe even bigger.

07 May 2017 11:53:03
Exactly DEEB. He had to play young Bates due to injuries and he was getting slated ( with some on here predicting a record score in the semi final yet this came in the league game with the more experienced centre half playing? ) .

07 May 2017 14:53:45
Todays team just shows how much we need to change the personnel. 4 strikers playing, 2 as wingers and 1 as a midfielder.
