Lack of football is getting to me so I decided to watch back through our highlights of all domestic games and compile a list of those at fault for all goals conceded ? Obviously there’s often several players to blame for the same goal. Goldson we know is done, his legs are away but Souttar is absolutely abysmal. Guy has no positional sense whatsoever and just makes the most basic mistakes on a regular basis. Switches off constantly. Honestly hope he’s sold this summer. I know plenty of our fans love to resort to the default setting of blaming Tav (not saying he’s perfect by any stretch) but there’s bigger issues at the heart of that defence IMO and a real lack of support/ cover from midfield.
Souttar 8
Goldson 7
Butland 4
Tav 4
King 3
Yilmaz 3
Lundstram 3
McCausland 3
Barisic 2
Balogun 2
Davies 2
Cifuentes 2
Lawrence 1
Sima 1
Dessers 1.

Coisty have a day off eh.
10 Jun 2024 06:28:23
Davie, explain why coisty should have a day off mate ? The guy has taken time to look at some of our deficiencies and posted his findings to share with us on here ?Try adding something instead of being critical of coisty who's posted info regarding where he's seen our teams failings has come from ? Nothing wrong with that is there ? I've said on here countless times tav has undoubtedly got his faults defensively, but gets the blame a helluva lot of the time for other members of our team's deficiencies when it's not him ? So we should be fair on all our players and critical where due, because some of our players without question get an easy ride compared to tav ?.

There is a reason defenders miss less goal chances then strikers and the same with being to blame for letting goals in. The defenders are put under unnecessary pressure due to the failings of our midfield also our failure to put the ball in the net cost us far more games.

Maybe another person watches all the goals conceded and finds that all those numbers you've marked are different. Also if a played costs us chances that the other team don't score it's still a mistake. 3 games in a row including his howler at Ibrox Tavernier made mistakes in the first 30 seconds that did end up in a goal or a shot at goal. I'm sure you've jumped on this sir Walter as the poster has Tav only at fault for 4 goals. I'd be willing to bet money that the number is much higher.

What about the cantwell error in hearts 3 3 game it was he who gave the ball away that then led to shankland scoring so every goal conceded can be traced back to a mistake on your point about souttar I agree we need better we cannot have our 2 ch leading to 15 goals conceded directly through them. Good post mate.

Folks, all posts should be welcomed on this site, maybe the big problem is that Coisty's post showed that a good few fans need to stop trying to chase a good few of our players out of the Club, let our Manager and his team decide who goes and when.
I know it's only an opinion when people make these posts, but, the negativity is some of the worst I've seen in all my 60+ years following the Club, let's wait and see what happens in this window.

Good informative post mate thanks for that. IMO if we need to focus on 6 key area this window. 2 CBs, a CDM, 2 wingers and a no9. If Tav leaves Sterling plays RB. Once strengthened in these areas I believe we will win the league next season. This season Clement done a great job with Beales team we need to remember that.

Absolutely nonsense NS re goals fault. I’ve looked at 8 that r tav,
But does not matter 1in 13 “eagles is fine.
10 Jun 2024 08:26:47
Leagues s fine.
10 Jun 2024 08:38:41
John, an eagle every 13th hole would be excellent.
10 Jun 2024 08:57:43
I’ve pointed it out before soutter is awful in the air looked good at hearts as he suits the 3 back but awful in the 2 back. Yes he is good on the ball and strong in the tackle but his Ariel ability is terrible.
10 Jun 2024 09:26:24
Coisty, I feel your pain, I’m missing my rangers too.
Interesting report, Tav for me would be the main culprit as most goals seem to emanate Fromm our right, but it shows our whole defence is ****ed.
Who genuinely wouldn’t you keep out of every defender we have?
Sterling looks like a player some team could’ve take off us for £8 m!
He is the only one i can thjnk of.
10 Jun 2024 09:28:07
One man’s opinion on who’s to blame for the goals you could ask 100 rangers fans and they would all be different.
10 Jun 2024 10:02:03
Coisty I totally disagree with you.
10 Jun 2024 10:22:47
Good post coisty, must have took you a while mate. There's different phases of play you could look at for that, would imo need more than highlights to work it out mate. There's blatant errors, then thers errors when we turn the ball over etc, very hard to blame one man. Conjecture.
10 Jun 2024 10:32:07
All own personal opinion. Tav 100% guilty of more than 4. And u will have included souttar giving away pen at home. Which var have already said was a mistake.
10 Jun 2024 13:13:52
Gal77 - it’s football, it’s just my take on what i’ve seen. Obviously there are errors that don’t lead to goals but that applies to all players and i’m sure Goldson/ Souttar/ Yilmaz/ Lundstram have all made plenty that didn’t result in a goal as well but I’m directly looking at who’s been responsible for actual goals conceded as many like to push the idea that Tav constantly “costs us” games/ leagues. You’re absolutely welcome to do the same and post your findings and no doubt they’ll differ from mine. John what are the 8 that you’ve seen Tavernier to blame? Just keen to hear your opinion on them mate.
10 Jun 2024 16:13:37
Good effort mate. Struggling to believe Tav only cost 4 goals. Was it only 5 games highlights you watched lol?
10 Jun 2024 16:26:59
Thanks BoyBlue. Totally agree regarding phases of play. Personally I look at it if someone gives the ball away and we are hit on the counter and outnumbered then i’d include it but if we have enough players back man for man I then look at who’s not doing their defensive duties (marking/ tracking runners/ where they position themselves etc) . As i’ve said it’s just my interpretation. Paul 86 I personally don’t see him at fault for any more than that but open to hearing your thoughts on the others mate.
