Paco Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If Ally had rested players leading up to the 2 cup games last season rather than going for his stupid unbeaten record, i believe we'd have played better. Thankfully our 35-man squad allowed Grant Murray's rotation policy to be in full order for the final. Probably why we won, with our plumber centre half winning man of the match. We'll probably lose this, our defence is nowhere near strong enough to keep Rangers out. Perry will likely be at blame for at least one. Having said that there's nothing stopping us scoring either. Hope to see Vaughan start regardless of whether Nade is fit again or not. Doubt it though - personally would guess Elliot and Stewart will be the front two.

Munich95 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 in my opinion you cannot change a winning squad, regardless of opposition, so the team that beat cowden should start vs rangers. anyone who is recovring from njury should only make the bench and not be rushed into a start. play the guys that are full of confidance after a convincing win, especially stewart and vaughan. we showed rangers in the final that if you play into the feet of our own strikers then rangers defence cannot handle it, playing vaughan and stewart will do just that. play elliot and nade and it will be long punts upfeild with no end product as thats whats happened previsouly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepundit Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 No. The comment you were replying too never mentioned the cost of a player, only the calibre of player. If Moshni is regarded as a lower end Premier play then you should have waited until you were around that level, not league 1. No. My comment was about staying within the 30% of the income, so the cost of a players salary would obviously need to come into consideration. I disagree that Rangers should not have paid lower end Premiership salaries, whether they be in the Championship, League One or the 3rd Division. After all, they would still have been bringing in more money than all six lower end Premiership teams combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the reason Rangers are in trouble is that you have been paying Premiership wages whilst being in the lower leagues? Rangers could have sauntered through league 1 and 2 with a fraction of the outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Which part, paying too much wages or the ease of winning the Scottish lower leagues on a modest budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoversMad Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Are you being serious?with anyone other than fat Sally in charge you'd have scooshed league 2 (div3) & 1 with your under 21s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotbawmad Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Sadly, I can't make it to this game, but I would feel a bit uneasy about it. Given the independence referendum slant the game will probably have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ofcourse we would have..... Why the additional dots? With a competent manager and a couple of senior players, they probably would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So first of all one Fifer claims we'd do it with our under 21's. Then another Fifer claims we'd do it with an additional couple of senior players.... An experienced core of players backed up by youths was always my choice. Could you imagine sending a youth team out in the 3rd, they'd last about 5 minutes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Have a look at Gretna's budget when they stormed through the leagues. Thats the kind of money you should have been aiming to spend whilst outside the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Nade's 50/50 whether he's going to make this game yet but Perry will definately make it, according to Matthew Elder's Tweet last night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I just hope we don't lie down to Sevco like we did against Hearts, that has to be drummed into them. I've got a few English mates betting against us with correct scores. If we lose, I just hope it's not a humping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Have a look at Gretna's budget when they stormed through the leagues. Thats the kind of money you should have been aiming to spend whilst outside the SPL.If they did that and didn't get promoted one year the backlash would have been unbelievable. We will maybe still see it this year if Hearts go straight up and Rangers don't go up via the playoffs. On a side note, a lot of people seem to forget that they did use a lot of young players in the 1st season. McKay, Crawford, Aird, Perry, Naismith etc. Still an absolute joke the way 'the journey' has went though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if Elliot is fit yet? He came on with about 10 mins to go against Cowdenbeath.. So I would say yes.I don't think he should start on Friday though. After both Vaughan and Stewart scoring against Cowden, that should be the front pairing we should start with.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
