Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 sick of these "the next <enter number> games will define our season" threads. the way we play sometimes we'll be lucky to be in the top six, the squad need to get a grip or this will continue to be a nightmare of a season. we are too unpredictable to arrogantly say this will define whatever. We sometimes take our chances, we sometimes don't. this is why they are far from being a genuine rangers side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw it at Aberdeen I seen us being the better team and them getting a free kick that never was a free kick in a dangerous position and that wee cunt scoring a goal that no keeper would've saved. Hearts are no great shakes either and we can definitely beat them all imo of course. It wouldn't make sense for them to have a go and play to our strengths it would make sense for them to keep things tight a lot of bodies behind the ball and they will get chances like Dundee did yesterday and like Ross county did. rangers were the better team against Aberdeen but I didn't see Aberdeen having a go I thought they were quite poor if I'm honest and if there the best of the rest it confirms how shit our league is! The blueprint is there to play against us because we won't change our approach so imo of course I can't see teams having a go. But partick did and they got beat 2-0 at ibrox Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to give these lads a chance. We are not challengers. This is a team in the making. We've missed a barrowload and been pretty inconsistent. I get what MW is doing and I can go with it. He just needs to adjust the tactics when the circumstances demand it. This team are not gifted with the quality of yesteryear and they are having to adapt to a system that is none to easy for them, but most should get there. Introduce several better quality players into the spine of the team in the summer and I can see us being a force and a true challenger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One at rugby park and the other against "them" Rugby park we were rotten a draw was fair, the piggery based on the 2nd half performance we deserved to lose, we held our own and more in the first half, 2 sloppy goals cost us, if we held tight until half time we would have came away with a result of some sort. Aberdeen away we never deserved to lose and it still gets to me, we battered them from pillar to post squandered chance after chance and poor defending cost us the first goal, no way should they be scoring 45 seconds after the restart after being pummeled the whole 1st half and scoring a winner from a free kick 2 minutes from time that wasn't even a freekick, Tav won the ball cleanly.

What I saw that day was us shooting ourself in the foot again. We have a terrible record against the top teams in this league and in last years league. Ive seen nothing to convince me it will change. The only saving grace is we are at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swagger 7,925 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If this team can even hold on to third come the new year then I'll be astounded. I cant see it improving anytime soon and would even say it could get worse. A fairly easy start to the league and we have dropped points all over the place. The next few weeks might see us drop down the table. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have played on for another 90 mins and still not got the win. The players actually looked like they had no idea what to do when they were on the ball. We have absolutely nobody who can take the ball on and make a telling pass. I think we all have a hope that it might click and they will go on a run but reality is that it's been like this too long.

Like others have said IMO as well there is two games we deserved to drop points all season. Killie and cellic. Hamilton- On the ascendancy and bang Waggys hamstring goes with no-one near him. Takes the sting right out the game. County at home- Really was one of those days. Did we not round the keeper twice and both were cleared off the line? Aberdeen- Dodgy decision as usual, not forgetting the fact we were the much better team for 80 minutes of the game. St Johnstone- Much the same as County. Desperately unlucky to not win the game Ross County away- Should have been out of sight by half time. Poor finishing cost us here but it happens! Sometimes strikers have off days. I really do believe we can come out of these 8 games with at the very least 18 points. I'd hope for 20 but 18 would be a really good return and would hopefully see the board give a little in January for us to push on to May. Rangers have always been strong finishers in the top flight seasons gone by and have had good winter results as well, hopefully this is the case again.

This has been our problem all season.The scum game apart no one is exactly giving us a going over but we are not taking the chances. I and others have said it time and time again you will get chances in every game but at this level which isn't great those few chances have to be taken. Poor finishing as you put it has cost us countless points this season and will continue to do so unless the management and players start getting the finger out.

We have been poor for way too long. Folk are saying we deserved to win games because we had more possession and missed chances. The counter side of that is that we're predictable and other teams allow us possession as it creates gaps at the back. All the teams we've dropped points could say they deserved something because their tactics allowed for these gaps, they know we're not clinical so limiting chances isn't crucial, but they played deliberately for counter attacks and set pieces. You're right about hope and then the reality, and we have been so poor yet some genuinely don't reckon we'll drop many if any points. Bizarre imo.

Gaffbear 4,096 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hearts then Aberdeen will show us where we're heading ..6 points and alls good in the hood...
