65 million loss, just incredible.

Let's hope we can get £30m for Remy and £30m for Taarabt!

I don't even think we'll make the playoffs, recent form is very poor, away to Brighton tomorrow, we're gonna get our arses handed to us in more ways than one.

However, I will say one thing, injuries have played a big part, no Austin who has scored 14 this season, after him Philips with a huge tally of 3, Barton is suspended more than he plays, Simpson is ok, he's been out, the others are just there to collect a wage it would seem.

Injuries and lack of depth in certain areas hasn't helped. Your back 4 against Leeds was Hill, Dunne, Onuoha, Hughes. Basically 4 centre halves which in the modern era of attacking play is shocking. Plus it seems 'Arry is unable to sign anybody who hasn't been in the premiership at some point. Its like a who's who of washed up prem players.

Look at Leicester and Burnley who have pace and youth. Something very much lacking the Rangers side at the moment.

'Arry buying players towards the end of their careers and not looking at youth...never!

It's Birmingham tomorrow, Brighton Tuesday.

It's not just injuries that have played a big part, it's that we've relied far too much on one person. There was very little chance that we'd be able to get through the whole season with the same striker, if not injury then a suspension at the very least, so why did we not do something about it sooner? Every team needs two decent goal scorers, we've depended on Austin and now we're paying the price.

I was happy from the end of the Brum game for almost a whole day. Until Burnley won, that is. *sigh*

Any predictions for Brighton? I'll be going along tomorrow as a neutral.

Predicting choruses of 'We can see you holding hands' doesn't count.

2-0 Rangers. On the basis of blind optimism and an irrational hope that Morisson will cure all of Rangers' problems in one hit.

PS Does you boyfriend, does your boyfriend, does your boyfriend know you're there, does your boyfriend know you're there?

HTH

[AC43]

So much for that prediction.

[Justin Cyder]

He does & turns out 2-0 was right. Morrison is class, shame about the rest & Barton, well the less said about Gene Simmons, the better.

[AC43]

I didn't go to the Yeovil game but a mate of mine did and reckons that, aside from moments of creativity, Rangers were generally poor and looked worryingly open.

Now it looks we can add Morrison, Green and Jenas to the long list of longer-terms crocks (Faurlin, Phillips, Austin, Simpson).

So at least six of the ideal first squad are our for tonight.

• sigh*.

1-1 is my guess.

with those injuries i'm not sure you'll travel well to the grim north on a school night so i'll go 1-0 to the massive

I forgot Armand Traore. Has recently been playing the best football he's ever managed in a Rangers shirt. Also a big doubt after the Yeovil game

Jenas, too, has recently been (finally) looking the read deal. Yeovil/injured

Morrison is ridiculously good (well he was....).

Green has been having a great season right up to his injury last week,

Faurlin, Phillips, Austin, Simpson all sorely missed.

I'm up to eight now.

Fill yer boots.....

[zeb]

well look at it this way, if we beat you tonight we'd go above Leeds.....and everyone hates leeds so it would'nt be such a bad thing??

[BMRuss]

Oh dear it's not going well, a bunch of misfits!

I'm not even hopeful we'll make the playoffs anymore.

Good sponsorship deal with Nike though.

[zeb]

Good result for us. Your heaviest defeat of the season i'm told. Blimey hoops, my lot will catch you at this rate!

We weren't troubled before the dubious sending off and penalty, game changer, although we are pretty damn rubbish at the moment.

But not rubbish enough for you to catch us up

[zeb]

No troubled by the other 2 goals we scored either I take it?

Not bad enough for us to catch you though, I may have to grudgingly concede that one....

[AC43]

Luckiest three points of the season today......

[BMRuss]

I will take that thank you!

Got my tikcet for QPR Wigan tomorrow.

2-1 Wigan, I say. They look tight and organised and are on a run. Rangers performances lack any sort of discernable consistency.

Looking forward to seeing some of Morrison's tricks, though.

[AC43]

Enjoyed that. Tight performance to beat Wigan.

UUURRRs!

[BMRuss]

Great result, about time we scored a few!!
