Can see him ending up in bother on Saturday....

[Gman36 3,455]

BT sport being quite lenient on Windass.. "lacking confidence".... Aye fucking pish 

[Scottyarf37 963]

Here is a really really scary thought

We are usually much much worse in the second half.

Lucky you,not seeing that crap.

[Don81 2,837]

Is Nemane left sided,  if so get him on. Plus points are Alnwick and Pena who looks to have a good understanding with Morelos already.

[King Jela 20,361]

Serious lack of confidence throughout the team. All the ball and creating fuck all. 

[DavieCooper74 1,301]

Windass cant be allowed to come out second half. He is pish

There's something there with Pena as a midfielder breaking late into the box. Guys done ok. 

A think the same,obviously he needs games to get up to speed of Scottish fitba but he's done not bad so far the night imo

[HG5 11,112]

Seeing the replay of Alnwick's save from Sammon, it was blinding!

With you 100% on that, mate?

[sandyinroyalblue 16,478]

Candeias looked excellent against Dundee,going inside and out,crossing early and getting to the by line but the last two games he doesn't look the same player.

[SuperPapac05 3,383]

We actually spent £12 million on bigger pish Warburton paid under a million for? 

[graeme_4 34,435]

I like Wes a lot, but if I was Alnwick I'd be raging I'm not starting. 

Must be in with a shout soon. 

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Morelos - Pena - John

Three best players on the pitch. 

Windass is honking man.

If he hasn't got confidence by now, he never will have.

[WeirFleckNRothen 1,789]

Watching Connor Sammon doing step-overs and sending Cardoso for a sausage supper is up there with the most deflating moments I've experienced as a Rangers fan.

Windass' miss while one-on-one with the net, Portugal internationalist Alves putting a pass high into the Firhill stand, Pena doing everything in slow motion, Candeias' woeful set-pieces, I'm fucking buzzing for next weekend.

1st half summary

 

Defence shaky as hell at times.

Alnwick made 2 top saves.

Our final ball been poor.

Declan John looks lively, positive running.

Need runners in to the box.

Pena been decent in spells.

Yep, spot on.

Just a thing on here to be as negative as ye possibly can. Getting joy laughing about how much the tarriers will pump us is odd.

Haha folk having a go at Penà when we have the Invisible man Dorrans playing in the middle.

Least Pena has pushed up and trying to make things happen.

Dorrans for me has been the biggest let down this season.

Epl quality 

Alves for me.

Have we forced their keeper to make a save ? Ours has

No. That's because we're not sharp enough up front. As I said. It's also because Cardoso has been getting his arse felt, which I also pointed out. The general play otherwise has been dominated by us.

We have alot of good possession, then get into decent positions, but are ponderous at times in creating the openings in the final third. It takes some sharp, incisive short passing at the important times and that's what we're not doing well enough.

Said earlier he's afraid of getting halved thanks to that late tackle against Dundee, not been the same since

Final ball has been crap or else no midfielder has gambled on it coming in.

Pena has actually player's decent part in most forward moves. Not as rank as folk as saying though he does still look sluggish.

John has been our best outfield player. Alnwick has done great.

Defence looks dodgy against only 1 forward which is giving them more in midfield than we have.

Nemane for windass early doors needed.

Central midfield sit too deep at times, and the defence seem to launch it over them. They should have been on any scraps
