Good points there David, I think THIS is the real test of whether we will be genuine contenders or just on the fringe of the play-off places. I'm optimistic enough to think the attacking options we've got will produce plenty of matches like the Swindon game, unfortunately, the opposition we face are going to be a lot tougher and the goals we conceded were very typical of our weaknesses.

That said, this time last year we were just digesting the tragic news about Ray Jones, that really puts everything into perspective.

Having seen our opening 2 fixtures I to feel that in Ledesma we have unearthed a special player, I am in the age group that remembers the likes of Rodney Marsh & Stan Bowles, both magicians in my view, later followed Tony Currie, Gerry Francis, Trevor Sinclair, Sir Les and 1 or 2 others, not for a long time have I seen an RRR'ss player with this kind of flair, some players over the years have been worth the addmision fee alone, I feel Ledesma will be one of those, and my view will be that he and the team will do well today.

I would like to say that though some of the player's you mentioned David, were good on their day, it is a well known fact that South American footballers are better technically. I think there is a lot more to come from Ledesma, but there is one more player in the team that will probably have the same dynamic threat, Parejo. Teams will be kept very busy, this season, defending against, what for me is probably the best midfield in the championship. All we need is a prolific goalscorer at the end of it, to be productive. I to like Brickets Town use to go down the Bush in the days of Marsh & Bowles. I don't think we will see player's here quite in their class, coz those 2 were unbelievable. But i don't think the Ledesma's of this world will be far short of that calibre.

"There is a real willingness to let the opposition have it with both barrels and play open, attractive football no matter what."

I love it when you say that David!!! Gets me all goose-pimply!!!

I like to think i am a good judge of players and people.

The first time i saw Ledesma was last sat.
Within 30 mins i was telling everyone around me that this boy is and will be so so special.
Not just his skills and ability but his whole never say die attitude and fighting spirit.

Yes he could be the best thing we have seen at Rangers for years.

More importantly though i just get the feeling our defence will get exposed today for what it is!

We MUST address this issue and fast.

6 defenders in the whole squad is a complete joke i am afraid.
