gsa 3,906 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 It's becoming embarrassing listening to everyone jump on the blame the defence bandwagon. We look shaky at times and very obviously need to improve but the team as a whole is falling short. Lack of movement, too much emphasis on Tavernier's crossing, ball not being recycled quickly enough. Fans should actually watch the games rather than just acquiece to the narrative "the defence is shit". Barton is playing true to form; a bang average nobody. Rossiter is tenacious but basic. Halliday works hard but lacks real quality. McKay and Holt are extremely clever players but need some power alongside them. Given the fact our defence are left so exposed I actually think they do well at times to limit opposing teams to 1 goal per game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Team is shit. Management selection is shit. Yeah defence was crap again but so was every other aspect of our team and play tonight. Fucking rank Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonald755 118 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 We've went behind 3 games out of 4...giving away the first goal gets teams tails up and gives them something to defend...defence is the biggest problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'll stop blaming them when they can win a header and not be bullied by 2 of the most imoblie strikers in spl history Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Mr Magic Cooper 515 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Seriously? You're having a laugh mate. EVERY time the opposition (and we're supposedly playing the weaker ones at the moment) get anywhere near our defence we look amateurish and that's being kind. I'm not one of the guys who moan and groan on a regular basis, I always support my team and staff. Now, you simply cannot support that defence. It's a fecking joke and even at this stage (unless a miracle signing appears) WE HAVE GOT ABSOLUTELY NO FECKING CHANCE OF WINNING THIS LEAGUE. When did we last play a good game? When were we last good to watch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,874 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 OP you are either pished or blind. You tend to blame the defence when a fat as fuck immobile lump like Boyd danced past your centre backs and slots it in the back of the net.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 no it wasnt, hill tried to get across to boyd, boyd ran with kiernan and got in behind him, the pass to boyd was the only option for the killie boy and kiernan couldnt see it, by fuck a 90 year old in the pub with cataracts fucking seen that pass before kiernan did Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,498 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Defence is shite but for me the midfield and front line are the reason why we aren't winning the games. Tempo is awful, we aren't pressing and unlike last season we had passing triangles that created the space. Players are being left on their own Tav on the right had 3 killie players around him at once and no one in sight to offer support. I think the attitude of the players fucking stinks and the only way to,address that is to drop them and play people that actually give 100% every week.

MasterD 7,435 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Defence is shit. Midfield is shit. "Forwards" are shit. Team selection is shit. Manager is on a thin-line at the moment to being called shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim beam 2,188 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 The defence is rank rotten and the midfield to front is not much better and the manager is struggling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Yeah let's continue with this superb defence that cost us a cup final and have been shocking so many times I care to remember . It will cost MW his job but he is too blind to see it . But let's just lay off them .Who cares if we win the league this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that MW starts with both Rossiter and Barton leads me to believe he would think your post is shite too. He's already gimped the attacking part of our game to help out the clown fiesta at the back. Seriously if Boyd truffle shuffling through on goal is badly exposed then we are in real trouble come the girodome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,458 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Our defence are not even close to being mediocre, our 3 man midfield are being over-run and our front three don't know what they're meant to be doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Right now we are lacking in EVERY department. We are starting games too slowly, our passing is pedestrian and decision making poor. Up top we are not creating enough and when good balls are put in (Tavs crosses) there has been no one on the end of them. I said to my dad at the Mwell game we can't keep having sides take the lead, that will cost us more points than we gain. Im normally fairly positive with Rangers but tonight there isn't a great deal to take from that match. At best I'd say at least Tav is back on FK duty and we have Windass and Holt to come back....that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
