Reply | End of Term Report 23/24 – Defenders
at 09:58 20 May 2024
Love this Clive - Always great reading and I look forward to listening to the Patreon chat.
My only comment is I thought a tad harsh on Kakay maybe a D would be better suited. I fully agree he is not at Championship level and it's right he has been released but he never hid, has always been available, never had those pathetic calf strains that some of the others always seemed to have especially the previous season and always gave 100% which I guess is all we can ask.
It seems I spent much of Kakay's career defending him to those around me so I might as well finish with that comment on here too. |

Barron was poor although he did save a penalty at Anfield in The Milk Cup semi final to help give us one of the best away nights ever and Green did have his moment in the sun at Wembley. |

Thanks Clive - Good read that.
My thoughts on Asmir are probably a bit higher I think he has been reasonably steady throughout the season. Yes he has made some mistakes as all goalkeepers do (look at Neuer in the CL semi final) but has always been fit and available and is probably a good egg in the dressing room. He has also made some big saves at key moments.
That said if we can shake hands and move on then it would be the right thing to do however I have a sneaky feeling those number of appearances have probably triggered a contract extension.
If that is the case then we need to use next season as Asmir handing over the baton to Joe Walsh who has been groomed for the last 3 years for this situation. Walsh the number one with Asmir on the bench ready for any wobbles we might get whilst at the same time bringing on Salamon so he is ready for the following season.
Good to see Archer leaving and I would also let Mahoney go if we can to save some funds.
For me the best Goalkeeper ever remains Jan Stejskal with Peter Hucker running him close. My Dad would always say Phil Parkes but I don't have enough memory of him on archive in my brain. |

I’d love to know when Andre left us to join Birmingham what our position in the table was and what thiers was? |

2 assists and 2 goals in 3 years from centre midfield just about sums up his time here. Game after game just passed him by without having any influence at all.
Probably very good in training in the squares but put him in the cut and thrust of a championship game and he just melted.
Be interesting to see where he ends up. Could be another Amos. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again - It is without doubt the best £12 that leaves my bank account every month.
Clive's writing brings so much enjoyment through both the good and (mainly) bad times. AKUTR's is also a Rangers institution that we should cherish.
In Clive's Leeds report he made reference to taking things for granted until one day they are not there anymore.
I hope Loft for Words and AKUTR's are with us for many years to come and if making a small financial contribution helps towards that then I hope as many of us that can do just that.
Thanks again Clive and looking forward to hearing the content. |

I certainly didn't realise just how bad he was until he went but I guess two goals and two assists in three years from central midfield says it all. He never grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck.
It didn't take Marti long to make a decision. |

Maybe we could find a way to extend the overhang from the upper to lower tier in the away end which would mean any objects coming down from above would not go into the crowd below and would also allow the lower tier to open the front rows of seats which would also be covered in bad weather and generate a good atmosphere by having a low roof over them.
Surely it is not beyond the wit of man to do this? |

Apologies if this has already been discussed but does anyone know why the top tier wasn’t full and Leeds had about a third of the bottom tier?
Why didn’t we just them the full top teir and have our fans on the bottom as we have done several times this season. |

Could be anyone of them tonight but we gave it to Field on the way home - He absolutely bossed the midfield along with Colback. |

Geat preview Clive and some wonderful memories in there - I was fortunate (and old enough) to have been at them all. I remember the Stan Bowles goal as a young boy in SAR with my Dad and Uncle who are unfortunately not with us any more. The next generation will be there tonight though my kids and I will be screaming and shouting getting behind the boys.
As you say it's all we can do - See you on the other side!!
Come on you R'rrs |

Thanks Clive - A spot on report.
You are so right with the intensity if we drop that we are so very easy to beat. It was there Saturday and our work without the ball was so much better even Willock tracked back a few times to make things difficult for the opposition.
For the first time in ages I think we might get something on Friday night. Leeds may well be nervy and I think we have a better chance when teams come onto us.
A massive 3 points and can you imagine what this week would of been like had we lost that one.
Cook, JCS and Dunne were all excellent again - Paal much less so and continues to be our weak link especially when teams can get him in one on one situations. |
