Yes, managing player game-time, which hopefully pays dividends over the whole season. I understood JCS had cramp, as did Adamson. I'm not a medical expert, but i imagine there are strategies for minimising cramp in matches, perhaps lessons to be learned there? |

I think JS admitted that taking Smyth off had a negative impact on the team. I think he's honest in some of those admissions of mistakes which is appreciated. The manager won't get every decision correct, but he clearly has the team playing the best football for years. |

Poku and JCS have been fit so far this season? That's a positive? |

Kolli went for the safer option, but steered it I thought. One of his qualities we have seen is that he shoots early and can catch the goalie unprepared. In this case, the keeper was set.
Poku had a chance to shoot in the second half if he'd let the ball run on to his right foot, but as usual shifted the ball inside on to his left foot where the angle had been narrowed by defenders and he was smothered. |

Roughly 2 points average per game is currently top of the league. So anything approaching 10 points from 5 games should be considered very positive and 8 points is probably par for the course and should allow the club to remain in the playoff positions. In effect, we need at least a couple of wins out of those games. |

JS admitted in the post-match interview to take some blame for the way the team was set up in the first half. Exactly what he should have changed is a matter of debate.
There was a fair amount of frustration in the Loft with the slow pace of build-up by Charles in the first half with very little movement and options for him to pass to. In the second half we seemed to move the ball much quicker.
Where teams now sit off us rather than press us, we don't necessarily seem to have a plan b? There were very few long, raking diagonals from Charles to players out wide.
I thought Saito played with good energy and I find Poku quite frustrating to watch since he always itches to shift the ball on to his left foot. He does have a shot in the locker though. |

Thought he looked more dangerous than Burrell had all game. Shame he missed that one and the keeper somehow kept out his other chance. Let's keep the faith. |

It's the only one that really matters as it's on the record?
Why doesn't Kolli's agent do an interview to set the record straight? |

It's unnecessary for fans to know all the detail or Kolli's side of the story. If there was a legitimate grievance, then there is employment law for him to leverage.
The message that was put forward by the club is that the team is more important than the individual. Full commitment to the team success (even if not playing on the pitch) is non-negotiable. Music to most ears. For Kolli fans, let's hope he can take this onboard.

CN has improved his speaking style without doubt...instead of peppering every point, "ultimately" was used much more sparingly! Bravo! |

The club itself admitted it was a problem before the season started. It also seems clear the club is trying new strategies to manage fitness (e.g. stronger squad and rotating players/managing minutes played).
One thing i have noticed is our players seem to be asking to come off early rather than try to run off injuries (Jimmy Dunne excepted on Wednesday). That may be the bench instruction to not turn niggles into long-term absences? [Post edited 11 Sep 8:18]

No, but the jury should surely still be out on whether this is endemic to Rangers or a current industry-wide epidemic.
Re. rotation, West Brom have so far used every player in their squad bar one, apparently. It could be our second XI vs their reserves on Saturday. |

Extended highlights show Ronnie and Harvey interplay chemistry in midfield. I would be tempted to keep those two playing 6 and 8 (and have Madsen and Kamara in reserve)
I don't recall Varane ever playing as well in Midfield as Ronnie did on Saturday, and as a 6 he must be behind in the pecking order.
I don't buy the argument that Ronnie is not fast enough to be a defensive midfielder. He really looked like he was enjoying himself out there. [Post edited 26 Aug 23:28]

Why hasn't a decent team come in with a bid to take him on loan? Sorry, Saudi Arabia and France hardly sound credible alternatives for a generational talent? |
