 | Forum Reply | Madsen and Varane at 09:36 19 Oct 2025
As we both know Gazza the message board is all about opinions and we disagree, Varane has been pushed to the front because of his age as we are a club now who has to develop and sell, we were offered a decent fee for Varane in the Summer and turned it down, that is possibly because if he plays regularly the CEO is hoping we will get more money for him. Field and Hayden have hardly been selected to say they have been playing poorly, they are both as good as Varane in a defensive midfield role. [Post edited 19 Oct 17:24]

Thankfully it's not only me, Varane flatters to deceive and I keep thinking he's being selected in front of Field and Hayden to hopefully increase his transfer value. Well it's not working we should have taken the money in the Summer, both Field and Hayden can do a better job as a defensive midfield player. |

Interesting it may possibly be that Varane is getting game time to increase his transfer value, he is the most marketable of the defensive midfielders and both Field and Hayden can do the same job, if our strategy is to develop and sell then that would provide the most money. |

Exactly to say Frank fell on his feet by inheriting all Robins hard work is a massive understatement, whoever has been in charge of the squad building and transfer negotiations takes a lot of the credit. They sold both Gyokeres and Hamer for somewhere between 30 to 40 million and that money has been invested wisely, they have three of the best strikers in the division, getting Rudoni from Huddersfield and then a no brainer getting Grimes from Swansea. Frank talks a good game and he's done well since his arrival, getting them organised and I'm sure he's a good motivator but the majority of the ground work was already in place courtesy of Robins.

Spot on the last few years have been dire with very few highlights, we buy our season tickets turn up and support no matter what the weather in the hope of seeing a committed performance and a team that can entertain, maybe if Birch had been attending all the games he would have a better understanding. We can see that we actually have a squad this season with some depth which breeds optimism, if the crowd want to stay and celebrate with the players that can only be a good thing and it develops a bond with the players, beats the hell out of trudging out of the ground wanting a beer to drown your sorrows. |

Jeez that was superb, currently on holiday in Crete and followed the game for the 90 minutes, must be honest I was hoping for a point and that performance has exceeded my expectations, I need a reality check because when I look at our squad I've actually started thinking we can make the play offs..... |

Agreed it's the change of style that has got us the results it's got nothing to do with Field who has been excellent for us over the last few seasons. Stephan picked Varane to play the 6 roll yesterday it could just as easily have been Sam's job, we've finally built something resembling a squad. There's reasons why the club want Varane to play plenty of games this year, if he's playing well and the club are reasonably successful it will increase his profile and in turn his transfer value, he is presumably one of the players destined to be sold and sitting on the bench will not add value, sadly unless things change dramatically we are a selling club. Sam Field has been a major factor in why we've avoided relegation over the last few seasons, he's been at times doing the job of two people when our midfield options have been very limited. Fortunately CN has learnt some lessons from last season and his previous Summers recruitment, we have recruited much better this Summer and it has given JS better options for selection and hopefully he will mix up the playing style because playing out from the back continually was like a death of a thousand cuts.

No coincidence that they have Steve Gallen as Director of Football, to say we missed a trick, some very shrewd transfer deals over the last couple of seasons. |

Bingo we need 11 players starting who are theoretically fully fit and prepared to run their socks off or alternatively themselves into the ground. |

We all want handsome Ronnie back his family support the Rs it's in his blood, my worry at the moment is Chair is missing in action, could he be part of a deal, first time I've wanted an injury to be genuine. |

Not sure if you've watched the interview he said he had offers but there was only one Championship team he was going to sign for and that he found it difficult playing against us for Portsmouth last year, something that the Portsmouth fans have picked up on and are a little bit miffed..... |
 | Forum Reply | Isaac Hayden at 07:30 26 Aug 2025
Have you watched his interview on the Offish, it's actually quite inspiring, he said he had other offers but there was only one team he wanted to play for in the Championship. Think we have to thank Steve Cook for getting in his ear on holiday it's the small things that can make a difference, I loved his comment about how he found it difficult to play for Portsmouth against us last year, that's the attitude we need. |

Hoping we don't lose him but Leicester look as if they will sell El Khannouss before the transfer deadline to either Palace or Spurs for £30 million plus that may give them a budget. |

An excellent report by Jamie if you hadn't told us who was the writer it could of been you writing, really pleased he didn't hold back with the criticism its all justified we can see what's going on behind the scenes. Now we are really starting to see what Stephan is up against, we will never know if he's any good as a Manager because he's just a Head Coach as part of the project, here's the guidelines you follow these and stay within your remit we've got other Coaches and the Director of Football who will dictate the style of play for you to follow. Ive been supporting since 1966 seen so many highs and lows and for a number of reasons I'm emotionally tied to the club, we all take the results to heart and it makes or breaks our weekends, the anger gets to us all because we care about the club, when eventually Nourry leaves we will still be supporting, that's if I live long enough....(lol) Clive take care you do a fantastic job and your health comes before anything else, particularly at a weekend when we got the news about Andy Sinton...

As others have said this puts everything into perspective, a true Rangers legend who represents the club with style in such a professional manner. Wishing you a speedy recovery, take your time before coming back you don't need the stress get well soon.... |

That's ok your absolutely correct it just doesnt make sense to offer Frey another contract, he's injury prone aged 31 and we will be lucky to get him available for 20 games if his track record is anything to go by, plus as Clive has pointed out he's only good for about 60 minutes. We do need some Senior players to go with all the youth but let's try and be a bit more selective, that contract offer doesn't sound like a CN strategy. [Post edited 20 Aug 14:20]

Exactly the snidey remarks are a pain in the a**e, Field has been an incredibly important player for us in ensuring we are not playing in League one, some may not be bothered but financially it would have been a disaster. Field first and foremost is a defensive midfielder, thats exactly the player we bought and he's done his job very well, just remember he played a considerable amount of games alongside Dozzell who went missing in action and Sam was doing the job of two people. As somebody else posted he needs to be playing alongside a more creative progressive player, it's not his fault Managers are pushing him further forward, it's for the so called Head Coach to sort out. Basically he was hung out to dry again asking him to play in a 2 alongside Madsen, he will look considerably better alongside Varane. [Post edited 20 Aug 9:11]

True but he got up and walked off which is a positive, hopefully it's weeks and not months. |

Top post there's your explanation it's Nourry's project, get with the project or your out the door, we don't have a Manager we have a Head Coach taking instructions which was very likely explained to him at his job interview. This could all be a master plan that bears fruit in the long term but it's a big gamble and last nights loss could possibly have been prevented with a few Senior players on the bench, I genuinely feel for the near 1000 who made the trip and await Clive's thoughts with interest on the decisions. |
 | Forum Reply | Who was this disaster down to tonight.... at 22:29 12 Aug 2025
I don't believe for one minute that a new Manager in his second game for the club wanting to impress and get a win against a League one team says I know what I will pick the development squad for this game and leave all the first team back at Heston. That just doesn't make sense, the decision was made higher up for whatever reason, they should have at least had 5 or 6 of the first team on the bench that could have got us the win. |
