Too many players in your squad there for a wage packet and no ambition to play as a squad. Bit odd why you left that ravel bloke on the bench until the 80th minute as he seems to be getting you the goals of late.
Think it will be you guys and wigan in the play off final. Just glad we did the double over you this season

It kind of looks like that every second game. Big difference between this setup and the Warnock promotion team (the latter much more like Burnley and Leicseter this season)XslaneyX said:

Yes he is. I think what Harry's now doing is resting as many of the key players as possible in prep for the play offs. Injuries to Ale Faurlin, Matty Phillips, Charlie Austin, Hoilett and Danny Simpson had had a huge negative impact this season. Not to forget Zamora and Johnson. Think that's the logic anyway. But like you mast Rangers fans have been scratching our heads for much of this season as to selections.XslaneyX said:

Well it looks like (bar Faurlin and Philips) that Rangers will have a full squad going into the playoffs. Zamora's looking fresher than he has for a very long time. AJ has started scoring in the dev team. Charlie's back and scoring. Ravel can be a nightmare for oppo defence. Hoillett's been looking sharp and fast. Several other have been scoring recentlyIt they can get the service and, more importantly, if Rangers can break and break fast as a team (big if) there's goals in that lot.
If they revert to slow, sideways stuff we'll all die of boredom and Rangers will be out. Back to team selections and Harry setting them up to not lose rather that to go out to win.

Hoping that Rednapp uses todays meaningless game to give a couple of the kids a try-out and rests a couple of the "good" players to avoid injury.
I think he will risk Austin for an hour as he needs the playing time, but Morrison,Simpson,Onuaha and perhaps Green may be watching from the stands.
Anyone going to the away play-off next Friday? If its Reading or Brighton I will be there, but Wigan is a tad too far when its live on Sky.

Also, in the nicest way possible, I hope you lose at Wembley and then go on to do a Portsmouth. 
Very much enjoyed beating Wigan this evening, what a lovely feeling, maybe you should stick to Rugby up there 
fingers crossed against Derby And we are considerably richer than yow
My girls are very happy with their Blue & White plastic bags I bought home as a souvenir!!
Rob Green's save and the intro of Bobby Zamora were the game-changers - I really thought we wouldn't win given that Traore and Morrison didn't start. I do find it odd that O'Neil has started both games but hasn't had a look in for much of the last 2 months and Tom Carroll is the opposite and not even in last night's squad.
I am still undecided whether going up this year will be a good thing as I really think another year with a younger squad may be better in the long run but its hard not to get caught up in all the excitement - Derby may also be a hurdle too high bearing in mind how they put Brighton to the sword!

Congrats guys, that was a hell of a game. I think you just wanted it more than us.

Hi NWT it was once of the best nights at Loftus Road in recent years. From an atmosphere point of view it was right up there.Also, in the nicest way possible, I hope you lose at Wembley and then go on to do a Portsmouth.
I also really enjoyed the home game against Wigan earlier in the season.
The two teams are pretty evenly matched this season and it was always going to be edgy and, at times, nugetty.
And your number 18 was a right handful.
At the and of the day it could have gone 2-1 either way.
I think the extra pace when Hill went off and Yun Suk Young came on at LB combined with Bobby Zamora coming on just tipped things in Rangers' favour for this game.
I look forward to the next game between the two teams in either the Championship or Prem.

This is true. I look forward to seeing you sign Rio Ferdinand and pay him £90k a week.
Given the amount of overpaid hasbeens we've signed in the past 3 years, this would be one of the least surprising transfers of the summer!Derby will be a handful for sure, McLaren has done a great job and we haven't been as good since he left us to go there.
