KnightswoodBear Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Billy Gilmour bossing it for Chelsea last night made me wonder. If he had decided to stay at Rangers would he be getting game time in the first team by now? I realise that he's had a year of coaching at Chelsea with better players around him, so I've no idea if he would have progressed to the same level up here. I do however think that the answer as to whether he'd have been trusted in a game like the one against Hearts at the weekend would be a resounding no. We don't trust our youth players and it's been a problem for as long as I've been following Rangers. Now that the season is all but over, it's maybe time to think about dropping some of the players that have let Gerrard down time and again in the domestic games and let the youngsters have a go. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this issue not (and this isn’t a dig at the Sevco supporters) that the fans of the club don’t have the patience to allow that? If Gerrard blooded youngsters and lost the next two home games would the majority of fans not be baying for blood? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gerrard blooded youngsters and lost the next two home games would the majority of fans not be baying for blood? I think that is definitely part of it, and we're probably equally to blame for it. The demand to be challenging and winning is so great that a manager taking the gamble of throwing in an 18 year old has to be sure he's going to succeed or he'll be eaten alive. I think Celtic have been in a privileged position during our Banter Era where they've had a bit of elbow room to let some younger players room to breathe and grow into the first team. This might not go down well, but for me, this season was our last chance to stop 10IAR and we've spectacularly blown it. They won't allow it to slip through their fingers next season. We should be taking the best 4 or 5 youngsters and using them between now and the end of the season with a view to properly blooding them next season. The problem will be the fans that are demanding we match Celtic and stop them winning 10IAR, which I no longer think is possible. Bigger picture time.* *tin hat on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 ^^^No need for tin hat, SpiderBear, you are correct in what you say. However, this is exactly the strategy that should have been pursued 8 years ago when Sevco started life in the Jellytots League.Instead, it was hell-for-leather superspend on a diet of arrogance, entitlement and hubris.Looking forward to the funeral.

Stevie Clarke would have been very impressed. I saw someone put up a Scotland team comprised of 3 left backs, 6 central midfielders and Forrest playing attacking wide right. Didn't look like the worst Scotland team i've ever seen, tbf. eta: Edited March 4, 2020 by KnightswoodBear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
