    2 games gone and we are looking worse than last year! I truely feel sorry for TF who has spent alot of money and time in trying to build our club into a success, unfortunately it looks like MH hasn't got a clue in assembling a team. He has filled the club with aged players at the end of their careers that other clubs are not interested in and put them on wages in excess of 40k per week.

    40 years of supporting the hoops i can honestly say I am loosing interest. Not one signing have i become excited about and we are still playing Hill, Derry, Zamora. I thought we were going to be prepared by doing all our transfers early!

    We were dire last week and just as bad today. Why is it QPR gets the backing of TF and the Mitals which should lead to exciting times but instead i feel more let down now than i have for a number of years!

    It's called expectations, they were massive before the start of the season, now after 2 games it feels like a let down, but let's judge the team after 10 games, not 2

    I totally agree with you Peruvian.
    We need to wait and see instead of suggesting knee jerk reactions.
    I have supported Rangers for 51 years and after 2 games of any season was not able to predict ending position!!

    We were better last week when we lost 5-0 which worries me

    I do not have overinflated expectations, only a wish to outplay and beat the likes of Swnasea or Norwich..... Does it not frustrate you that after years being out of the Prem we end up with a team with limited potential?

    Some may be happy with Andy Johnson, Nelson, Rob Green, Bosingwa but i think they are journeymen at best. Didn't we scout the euro's or the olympics and spot anything better than that lot?

    Wishing to outplay Swansea is an overinflated expectation. :)

    never had any expectations to be honest been watching the R'S too long for that.too many fans got their expectations up WAAAAAAY too high and in typical rangers fashion they let you down.2 games is not enough to judge a squad in my opinion as said before it needs ten to pass judgement.the squad has been added too and will need a few to get it together,some teams hit the ground running some don't thats footy.

    I was going to hold my tongue but you said for me, Loopy, spot on. MH has no clue about defending, he truly doesn't.

    And why was Adel left out today? Surely he would have made an impact.

    Taking a chance on a young, proven, prolific goal scorer like Jordan Rhodes might have been an option?

    I was thinking exactly the same thing. Anyone else notice how furious Traore's face was while he was sitting on the bench after being substituted?

    Did you watch our matches near the end of last season? We looked very solid defensively.
    I'd agree that it would have been nice to see Adel come on though

    Makes no difference who your "goalscorer" is if the ball never reaches the box.

    Why do you turn to the best in the world? Scout for players with potential!! Don't want the likes of Messi, Ronaldo etc We should be getting talanted players with untapped potential....Comprehendo?? Why do people always try and make a point by going to an extreme??

    We need to get rid of players who do not want to put in a shift, Traore didn't seem to care today, at least with Cisse you could see he was getting the hump with himself. I'm not sure of Zamora, if its just his demeanor but he looks lazy. How Fast were they closing us down and not giving us any space, we should be set up like that and playing at a much higher tempo. Surely with the new training regimes everyone is going on about, the lads should be fit enough

    His head wasn't in the right place today ... on at least one occasion.

    I don't see how anyone can argue the point that MH has spent TF money on over the hill journeymen rather than useing the revamped scouting set up to discover talent in the way Newcastle does. FFS did the scouts come back with a list of names that we ended up signing? Didnt even sign Tiawo!

    Back from the game and thought it was a good improved performance after last week. Park was my man of the match and after a shakey start to the game i think were equal to Norwich in terms of possession even though we didnt have many efforts at goal. I didnt think we were dire at all and a point at Carrow Road is always a good point in my opinion and ive no doubt our team will get better and the wins will come.
