Tumshie 205 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Some fantastic attacking play but losing the goal was poor and we got away with it for the penalty. Still that's me nitpicking because as I said some of the attacking moves were outstanding. Was 3-1 going on 6 or 7.And it's always good to get that wake up call while we are winning rather than dropping silly points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,328 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 You're right. But it's what i've come to expect per Brentford fans. We'll score more than them.. but I am confident we'll get it right in time. Just hope we start taking our chances. Another 25 tonight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearJohn 62 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Dont think so much of a wake up call but more of a learning curve. Its 6 weeks weve had to adopt this new philosophy of football. So it will get better the longer we continue it. You cant press teams without opening up a little but we will get used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The way the team play ultimately leaves us with 2 at the back so we are exposed but in weeks to come that will be protected by Eustace or a similar deeper lying midfielder who isn't shy of a tackle.Halliday is filling the role but will offer more further forward.Once we have a true holding midfielder the defence will look better.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yup, 2-1 down to Hibs and almost 2-2 against St Mirren. Good teams come through in the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That goal was Foderinghams fault IMO, if your off your line you commit to the challenge on the player and spread yourself wide to stop the impending dink. He paused halfway between the goal line and the player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 When I wake up tomorrow the score will read Rangers 3 St Mirren 1. That'll do for me.Onwards and upward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,890 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The way we set-up i expect is to concede a few..Cannot afford to pass up chance after chance though and it's been a common theme the past two games.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He paused halfway between the goal line and the player Your clearly never been a keeper then. You narrow your angles and stay big. If he came charging out he either takes it round him or chips him. Where did you want him to be? On his line or 18 yard line. Hebwas in a perfect natural position for the way the attack materialised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertz Laces 35 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We leave ourselves open at the back with a lot of space between Kiernan and Wilson at times, with Wallace and Tavernier so far up the wing. Besides a few teething problems, we played some impressive attacking football from the first whistle. Very refreshing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes from about the only time we dont close them fown starting with walsh in there half and then it leaves our two central defenders 2 on 2.

If he kept running out to the player he would have cut off the attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also our new philosophy is send them home happy. So lets be happy and stop trying to nit pick and blame people for certain things. Its a team game it was just slack. End of.

TheDetails 98 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I was having noghtmares with big fodders play tonight. A few times he looked ropey leaving his line and getting into a game of passy with the defence. Only he was bad at passy. Sure he will settle soon enough though.

Canabear 4,558 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We leave ourselves open at the back with a lot of space between Kiernan and Wilson at times, with Wallace and Tavernier so far up the wing. Besides a few teething problems, we played some impressive attacking football from the first whistle. Very refreshing.I think what we are needing is a stay at home midfielder to stop attacks and give the ball to a set up man in the middle and if by signing Eustace and he is playing that role then you will see a more settled central defence and a more confidant defence.The one thing i don't like is the amount of back passing to the goalkeeper.Teams are catching on to that tactic and pressing the keeper hard and if they don't do something to correct that it will cost us a goal or three.

Tumshie 205 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 As I said in the OP I'm nitpicking it was another great performance so certainly don't wanna get too hung up about it. Always good to get that scare while winning while dropping points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
