Russell has a career win ratio of 38%, so we'll be lucky to win 17/18 games

We got 1pt against a dire MK side and could be close to the relegation zone by the end of the day, and some people are trying to spin this as positive.

Got 3 more years of this to look forward to

Russell, 17 games at Rangers, 5 wins with a win ratio of 29%. Danny Rohl took over the same team, won 22 from 40, win ratio 55%. Infact when you look at his entire career, his win ratio is 38%. Botton line he's a terrible manager and we'll be lucky to scrape into the play offs.

Yet we've told that once Russell gets his own players, things will get better. I bet at every club he's been, fans are blaming the defenders, yet the common denominator is him.

I think Top has always wanted the best for the club, hence why the protests (although not as vitriolic as at other clubs) have effected him, and motivated him to sell up. The problem is, he has a very limited knowledge of football.

His forward passing was a breath of fresh air. But genuinely does Russell even want his CM to do that, or does he prefer those safe backwards and sideways passing of Skipp.

Another Skipp like signing

Subs killed us. We needed energy, but guys like Cullen and Burns just sapped the energy by giving the ball away. Page was running on fumes at the end.

Fuch me Russell really is insane.

Jobs for the lads. He's Russell's mate.

Sums us up perfectly. This is the worse it's been until we next play, then that's the worse. On and on it goes, who knows when we'll hit rock bottom.

Russell is a disastrous appointment for alot of reasons, but getting rid of one of our best young players, I didn't expect that. Top and Rudkin really are on a mission to ruin us.

He doesn't play enough sideways and backward passes. Get rid. We need more players like Luke and Okoli.

Exactly, Russell has enough of a history for us to know what we were getting, slow, ponderous, suicidal football. Worse still It doesn't matter if we sack him, Topkin will manage to find somebody even worse.

They might extend his ban.🤞

It's an entirely predictable performance and result. It was also what a few of us were saying before the game, but were told to be more positive.

We've got a perfectly good team for L1, but they can't play Russell's shit system. Its entirely predictable.

Excellent article with the author actually doing some research.

I was very positive seeing us in pre season, but the last 2 games has given us an idea of how we will be playing this season. It's going to be a slow ponderous game. We should win but how many times have we said that.

Someone earlier in the thread said it's called the Acrisure stand.

Although you're right, our Gk, CBs and CDM all can't pass, this defensive fragility follows Russell where ever he goes. His Southampton team conceded 63 goals in the Champ. In fact going further back to his Swansea days, Russell teams have conceded 281 goals in 191 games, and I would hazard a guess a large proportion are due to the CBs, GK giving the ball away. Russell needs prime Ederson and Van Dyke standard players, or else you're looking to concede lots of goals from poor passing.

We'll probably drop lower. Southampton under Russell were bottom half of the table, before they went on their winning run.

To think we didn't want Corberon because we didn't want to pay his 2-3M compo.
