Just two games in and sad to already witness some disparaging and ad hominem posts on Gareth Ainsworth.
How many more ex-Rangers legends' legacies need to be forever tarnished before the club start actually appointing people based on merit instead of misguided sentiment from an out-of-touch boardroom situated on the other side of the world.
Now that he's here I believe as fans we have to get fully behind him for at least the rest of the season. So to be clear, this is neither a pro nor anti Ainsworth message. This is about those responsible for the hiring and firing at our club over the last ten years.

Good post Stan.
In no way am I hating on ainsworth but I stand by the view that his appointment was to deflect attention.
My finger is squarely pointed at that dof and hoos

The jokers eunning the club need to go as Hoos brings sod all additional revenue to the club and Ferdinand well his record is plain for all to see.

I don’t think fans will turn on Ainsworth. More than ever now fans know the situation. Conversation on train from Sheffield was around Les not doing a very good job so I reckon feeling will be widespread. Maybe things would change if we do ever bring in a few players one way or another and he’s not up to it but I think he’s got time. Just don’t drop.

He shouldn’t be our manager, no disrespect to him but he shouldn’t.

He shouldn’t be our manager, no disrespect to him but he shouldn’t. Totally agree but that’s not his fault, our hopeless DOF, CEO etc. have backed themselves into a corner with his appointment. He’s thrilled that he’s got the job but I feel sorry for him. |

I would disagree, I’m certain a manager such as Pep would recognise that our weak players in defence required more protection at Rotherham. Both Kakay and Drewe needed players ahead of them prepared to work hard defensively first and foremost, Adomah and Lowe did not provide any adequate cover for obvious failings in both FB positions. Ive said before I don’t want to hear empty promises from Ainsworth, at his post match he said “the Cavalary is coming” but how can he justify that when he readily admits that he’s yet to see them playing yet? If he goes the same way as Critchley in playing the same set of players in the same formation game after game then the outcome in inevitable. PS… this wasn’t meant as a dig at your obvious off the cuff remark Ginger. |

its so evident to see that dunne and dickie just doesn't work, not right now at least.
i understand that we have injuries hence why drewe was drafted into the side and to be fair to the lad he did ok and offered something different with his long throws.
but why not shoehorn field into a back 3? or adomah as RWB/LWB and drop drewe entirely. we could have easily lined up like a
kakay dunne field dickie adomah
OR
adomah dunne dickie kakay drewe.
we'd have had a lot more cover at the back and on the back of conceding 3 goals for the past 5(?) games its something thats glaringly obvious.
i still fully believe ainsworth us the right man for the job and if he doesn't keep us up he's the right man to get us up again.
there were some minor "clutching at straws" positives from saturday in that we looked less devoid of ideas and slightly more motivated than previous games.

Don't forget though, under Warbs when we had 3/5 at the back, we weren't exactly watertight either.
Need a commander and organiser at CB. We need Balogun fit.

Balogun isn't going to pull on a hooped jersey ever again. He's pining for his lover at Rangers.

The prick. But we need someone like that. I can't remember his name now, but I remember back years ago when we were rubbish, but we brought in a cb who had been around the block and was old but he organised the defence. He was bald but the name escapes me. Only played for a year or 2 i think. Need that leader who pulls the full backs in/out up down etc. |

All the time players like dickie and Dunn are anywhere near our starting 11 we will never be water tight. Ever. They are bang average championship players and in dickies case barely that. Always walking around with a face like a slapped arse, quiet, no leadership qualities, slow and clumsy. Dunn is marginally better but again doesn’t organise the defence, doesn’t communicate and has at least one goal gifting error in him every week. Dreadful partnership |

Rough old centre half who organised the back four. i met him on a night out at my local pub many years ago as he's from my hometown. i was 18 and asked if he was danny culip, he said "yep" and then i told him i supported QPR. all i got from him was a "good for you" or something like that  . still, its not as bad as when i was starstruck meeting jamie mackie a few years back in richmond. i kept tripping over my tongue and ended up coming across as severely autistic. in my defence i didn't think he'd be nice enough to spend 5 minutes chatting to me lol. |

I'll support Ainsworth because to be fair to him, he has inherited an absolute shit show.
