Match Thread Dundee v Rangers - 20:00 Wednesday - Sky Sports

[KJ_Rozental]

Roofe from the off.

 

[Boro_gers07]

Roofes last chance?

 

[DD1872]

Sweep for what minute roofe comes off injured? I will go got 36.

 

[ARFC]

Need to bounce back, need a proper reaction from them. A win is a win but a convincing win would just feel a bit better. Most important thing is the win.

 

[Jelle1880]

What have some Players got to do to get dropped? And why dont go two up Front of at least try something different.
Im a Big Fan of Big Phil but this can not be the Message after Saturday.

I know several players weren't up for it against Ross County but the main criticism seemed to be that Clement changes the team too much. Now he doesn't and it's a problem again ?

 

[Stefan Klos]

Silva shouldn’t be starting.

As if his performance wasn’t dire enough in Dingwall, the petted lip dramatics when he got subbed should be enough for a spell on the sidelines

 

[BigBadJohn]

Same midfield as the weekend? That's a wild decision. Can't believe Silva keeps his place either. Not great for me.

 

[TamS-RFC]

Nerves are seriously bad now.

A mixture of dread and normal excitement before a game.

 

[KJ_Rozental]

Roofes last chance?

I think that's up to Dessers more than up to Roofe!

 

[Nescafe_loyal]

Good to see Rolfe starting

Leaves us with a strong line up and a strong bench that. Mix and match.

 

[Clubdeckg]

Hopefully Roofe manage a run of games, firing us to the title before moving on

 

[DD1872]

I'm beyond nervous for this now, almost on par with an OF game.

I'm not, I've accepted the fact that regardless of what happens we ain't winning the league.

 

[KJ_Rozental]

Same midfield as the weekend? That's a wild decision. Can't believe Silva keeps his place either. Not great for me.

It's not Lawrence over Dowell. I think Sterling will be asked to come inside more as well.

 

[Bear all]

Be shouting for Roofe all week hope he delivers would have put Raskin in for Lawrence I suppose that’s being negative,it’s all about commitment and desire now .

 

[scooter70]

Sima apart, that side lacks a load of pace, cost us massively across the midfield on Sunday

Suppose we have limited options

 

[dh1963]

No Barisic and Dessers is good.

Must admit I wouldn't play Silva, and I'd want to change the defence more.

 

[JayDee]

Roofe starts. Wow. Risky?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Wouldn’t have been my team, but 4-0.

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Good to see Roofe start. A proper striker.

 

[Brick_Top]

Seems bonkers to continue picking Silva.

Could say that about most players at the minute to be fair but we actually have alternative wide options on the bench that would also allow Sima to play in his strongest position.

 

[Kirkhillbear]

Clement making a rod for his own back with that team selection.
Where's Balogun?
Didn't think he'd drop the captain butt Sticking with Souter and Goldson FFS!!
How the hell is Silva still starting?
Lawrence and Cantwell both starting, can't see that working.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

I can't believe that midfield. Little mobility, athleticism and combativeness.

 

[Glasgow Rangers (Sco)]

Playing Roofe on the worse pitch in the league?

 

[Vader]

Not sure about this starting 11...Sterling is wasted at left back, Silva offers nothing and Roofe has done very, very little even on the rare occasions he's been fit this season.

 

[mathers1]

Roofe starting? Wow.

That team selection suggests the manager is desperate. Chucking shite at the wall and hoping something sticks.

 

[julian candy]

There are a good few players in that team who can't count themselves lucky they haven't been dropped.

All we can hope is for a reaction.

 

[Zico]

Ridvan disappeared off the planet again

 

[Chief Rafferty]

Roofe hatrick then! If you want to win titles then you beat dross like this, get into them early.

 

[Overanout]

Well I did not expect that team!

 

[Kirbys House]

Roofe starts. Wow. Risky?

No, necessary.

Dessers does us no favours.

 

[The Huguenot]

4 right footed players in back 4.

 

[Trafalgar]

Silva must have compromising pictures of big Phil!

Yip I'd rather we went with Rabbi

 

[MartinS93]

I can't even pretend I believe we'll win tonight, that's how bad its gotten.

 

[dh1963]

Clement making a rod for his own back with that team selection.
Where's Balogun?

Balogun is ill and not in the squad

 

[agentcooper]

Sterling always looks awkward at LB to me, so the fact he's been selected before Borna, may suggest the latter has kicked his last ball for Rangers.

Sad end to his Rangers career if so.

 

[isawthat]

Roofe

Let’s raise it

 

[freddie_crawford]

Same midfield as the weekend? That's a wild decision. Can't believe Silva keeps his place either. Not great for me.

It’s not the same midfield though is it?

 

[bear_with_me]

Ridvan disappeared off the planet again

Doubt we will see him until pre-season now

 

[ElBuffalo20]

For all our faults we don't struggle to make changes.

You trust Roofe more than anyone in squad to take them. Fingers crossed

 

[BigBlueAngus]

Roofe has been rotten this season when he's made it on to the field but let's hope it's back to his usual self tonight. Got to be better than Dessers of late.

Glad to see Barisic replaced but I'd hoped for more changes.

Same old faces with no repercussions for dismal displays. Hopefully we've got a midfield of note.

 

[Albertz Loyal]

Well I did not expect that team!

Not nearly enough changes

 

[ScottyRFC1872]

Would have dropped Silva aswell, hopefully that team gets us 3 pts

 

[uneasydaz]

Clement making a rod for his own back with that team selection.
Where's Balogun?

Clement said he was sick in his press conference yesterday

 

[WATP1979]

Ridvan disappeared off the planet again

PC said in his presser he’s not yet fit

 

[the_baron]

Silva and Lawrence both don't deserve to be starting but to be fair, looking at the bench, the alternatives aren't great.

 

[KingCarlos72]

In fairness it’s the team I would have picked

 

[JayDee]

No, necessary.

Dessers does us no favours.

We'll see. Obviously I hope Roofe does well.

 

[Trafalgar]

Lawrence and Cantwell both starting, can't see that working.

Cantwell needs to focus on basics and cut out his showboating. Also needs to learn to tackle properly and not half arsed

 

[Chocolateleftfoot]

It's a strange one. He's played left back in the past so you would think he could slot in there instead of Ridvan and Borna. Maybe injured or not impressing in training.?

We want rid of him. Playing him might give him the idea he has a future at the club.

Playing Dowell as a holding midfielder was a disaster at the weekend. Lawrence isn't much better suited for it, so we'll see how that goes.

Silva on the left, again not really suited to it.

 

[Sjbaxter77]

I'm relatively happy with that team. Would have preferred Matondo over Silva though
