the_r_sole 366 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Defensively i thought we were much improved today, much more aggressive going for the ball and Wes was top drawer when they had a clear chance... Other thing for me was that the manager actually used subs to try and change the game and exploit gaps in the opposition. Just need to do this every week!

Take away Kenny and Dodoo, who would you say was man of the match? Holt was the only other player to get pass marks, and Beerman wasn't too bad He made 3 decent saves, that's his job.

So seeing a team that actually looks like it can play a bit would be better. We never deserved to win that game by 3 goals. The result is blinding folk to the huge problems we have. What does it achieve? Woke me up and gave me one helluva boost, I can tell you that. We're all painfully aware that this squad are not world beaters, but by God everyone that follows this team has been desperate for a result like that for ages and I for one am going to savour it.

We were fucking disgraceful and should've lost that game by a few goals if it wasn't for Fod. Aye and there's plenty of games we deserved to win but didn't. Enjoy the result ffs. The sheep are bleating all the way home. We were OK 1st half and shouldve been 2 up, but poor for much of the 2nd. In the end we delivered a 3-0 doing to a club whose support despises us. I'm going to enjoy it for a long time to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt was brilliant today. As was Wilson. Two guys that have got it tight on here and probably rightly so. But if Pedro can get the best out of these players then they are not as bad as they have shown for the last 18 months or so Said in the match thread Wilson was immense. He has been since he was brought back in. Ive no doubt he finds in easier being forced to concentrate more on the defensive side of his game. He's always had ability with the ball at his feet, his reading of the game and decision making has improved dramatically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't great at times but Pedro sucked in McInnes and blew him out in bubbles,we put the onus on them to come out and play in the second half and ultimately exploited the space they left in behind them. Honestly you really need to have a word with yourself today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we need serious investment to challenge Cetic, I honestly bellieve that some of our guys that don't even play that much such as O'Halloran, Dodoo, Forrester etc would be first picks for any team in Scotland outwith Celtic. The players have shown with the games against Hearts and Aberdeen at Ibrox, the first half against Celtic at Ibrox, Celtic away a couple of weeks ago and today that we can put in a performance but it bubbles down to consistency. Pedro was totally vindicated in dropping McKay and Halliday today and I thought we looked a bit more clinical from middle-to-front. For all Beerman and Bates are rough round the edges and probably not Rangers-class, you've also got to acknowledge that as defenders they've came in played 2 games and helped keep 2 clean sheets at away venues - with the help of Fod, granted. Good days work. Shame with the Motherwell and Kilmarnock results it might just be too little too late for second. Notice the games you mention , and I do agree with you , it seems we can rise to the occasion the bigger the game . You have to question the attitude when it comes to some of the ' lesser ' ones .

That was a fantastic result, but Dodoo, for example, will have to do much more than score against an Aberdeen side throwing men forward to compensate for his input this season. This side is 30+ points behind Celtic and remain 9 behind Aberdeen; a wholesale clear-out is essential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it achieve? Massive confidence boost but above all shows our new manager what is needed to improve us going forward. Also let's him see what qualities if any the current squad has. He's only a few weeks into the job and is doing ok. Results like this are a bonus. How the fuck a supporter can't celebrate a 3-0 beating of the sheep is beyond me.

The sheep were certainly in the ascendancy when we scored but overall I thought we deserved the win , we certainly were the better team in the first half creating the only scoring opportunities , and obviously better in the last 15 . Fod did have 3 or 4 saves , difference was , we scored ours and that's what counts . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'm more than happy with that result. They were on a good run and we stuck 3 past them in their own midden. Doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things maybe but I will revel in it nonetheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think disgraceful is a bit strong mate we weren't brilliant but on the balance of play we prob had the better chances in the first half and the second fod made some good saves but they are saves we would expect him to make. I think a lot of credit must go to Pedro for changing it in the second half and it coming off plus like a lot of people said we should be giving the 2 young boys a lot of credit for the way they played. I'm a happy bear this Sunday that's for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were the better team and although it wasn't pretty (in fact it was horrible football) we won 3 fucking nil.... I would take todays performance all day long as long as it comes with a clean sheet and three at the other end. We all dream of getting the results along with the performance but we are years away from that and we all know which one we would chose if we had to choose between pretty patterns and the Win Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it all the sweeter watching them leaving their sheds at the end... Consistency at anything good is beyond this team, though. And not facing teams that have a go every week means today should be just be enjoyed on its own. The majority still need to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
