***The official Rangers vs. St Johnstone match thread***

[sausagetrunks 6,022]

4-3-3 is not working, were getting run over the top of in midfield.  Everything about the system to the players is mediocre. the first 10 games tell you this.

[kelvd1873 7,159]

Im starting to think should we get Alex MacLeish in? And no I'm not joking, had enough of this spineless toothless tippy tappy shit!!

[Teddy bear 1873 57]

Fucking pissed off wi a gutless performance sick fed up of referees giving everything against us fucking blatant some of it , wish we had a second ammendment

That was a much better performance than I can remember. Attacked pretty well, loads of chances to put the ball away. 

In the first half, yea I agree, second half, they easily bullied us, and we were lucky not to get beat.

[jim beam 2,188]

Dismal pure and simple,Warburton needs kicked into touch ASAP we are very poor and it isn't good enough.really pissed off with it all now.

[Swagger 7,952]

Unless he decides to go himself Warburton is going nowhere. We have to face up to the fact that we are maybe a top 4 team at a push

St.Johnstone more than matched us at Ibrox.  Let that sink in.

IThey beat us 3-1 last year. We need to realise the limitations of this squad. The sad truth is that lesser teams will come to Ibrox this season and get a result.

10 league games

16 points

12 scored 

12 conceded

unacceptable.

Only thing I'd say is that I think we would see a massive difference with the same players but in a narrower more solid formation that allowed full backs to bomb on. A 4231 or if teams really sitting in a 4132. We would avoid this farce where we cant get out.

 

Barry Mckay for all his faults can spot a pass hit a shot and beat a man. He's a classic number 10. Just gutted we persisting with this formation as it leaves us wide open and predictable.

[the_r_sole 366]

it's the same problems game after game, we aren't learning anything despite the media soundbites - we are shaky at the back and not creating good chances, really look as if we could play for weeks and not score, 16 points from 10 games isn't good enough

teams back of and let us play and we do fuck all with it, they contain us and then run over the top of us. its so predictable, all spfl managers have caught on. 

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

MOH a standout, so will be benchwarming again. McKay actually put in a tackle to impress the manager, so defo a starter next game.

Fucking grim.

Yeah granted the second half was poorer but still thought we were the better team. Defensively much improved final third needs worked on

[bornabear 6,202]

Very disappointing to say the least.

Can't seem to play intense football for 2 halves.

[Bighouse 1,012]

After an old firm loss you want a reaction from the team, you want them fired up and look to put things right. Well that's twice now that we've failed to see any sort of reaction from this Rangers side after such a result.

People say it's a work in progress or a 4 year plan. That may be the case, but instilling a fighting spirit and a fire in stomach is something that should be drilled into a team well before now. We looked weak out there - no conviction or incision and far to easily shrugged off the ball at times. In short, we look very easy to play against all over the park.

 

Chasing our tails at home. It's the McCoist years all over again

[Getstiffed 8,863]

Canny believe I've struggled to RM loaded just because cunts are on posting "nae better than McCoists team".

Time for a wee break.

[delparlane 5,660]

Only bright spot tonight for me tonight was MOH's energy. Has pace and desire, constantly double-teamed yet still won us a barrowful of corners. Too bad we don't have the quality to do anything with them.

[ThatNightInFlorence 696]

We have Kilmarnock at home Saturday and Ross county away the week after. These are games we should be winning and due to the amount of points we've dropped already we need to be winning. 

 

After that its an international break, if we fall any further behind Aberdeen/Hearts I hope the board have a meeting with Warburton and ask him if he really thinks he can take us any further or if the job is too big for him. 

[millsygers44 22]

Said it last year even when we were winning holt Halliday not good enough in midfield if you want to be competing at top end for honours 

[writingranger 1,413]

Decent performance, we lack ingenuity in the final 3rd, could have scored loads, could have conceded loads. It takes something just a little different in  attack to make the difference, but we're not finding it. Kranjcar may well have that something but....I don't usually bleat about refs but he gave us nothing much and was mostly poor.

No, it's us who have NOT caught on to the SPL.

[cushynumber 25,178]

how long are we going to continue with this 4-3-3 pish? its just doesn't work at this level with the players we have got.  We will not score enough goals every game to continually beat teams because we simply haven't the players to do it and this system leaves us too open so we continually leak goals and have to chase games. Its fucking criminally obvious.

see this decent performance ? is this when S J let us have the ball on the edge of their box, they got their tactics spot on, the same as most other spfl teams. 

[The Mailman 330]

This is becoming a fucking joke 

[Garnock Blue 316]

we are a run of the mill average team, nothing more , nothing less...even at this early stage we can see this is where we are gonna be...unacceptable IMHO
