TopCat 4,511 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 These injuries are going to make it even tougher to get a win - but I still feel it is possible we can take the 3 points if we play as well as we can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,580 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 was told on Wednesday Alves and John were out,was funny seeing Pedro at his press conference yesterday saying they were still being assessed, he already knew they were out,quite right don't give the press anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 4,597 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 We need calm heads. We can't panic that a loan player who has only played against Thistle can't play. We have lost far better players than Declan John in previous Old Firm games. It is an opportunity for someone to come in. Hodson was OK against them before. We can change the way the left back plays - instead of bombing up the touchline they can focus on defending and being solid. This needs to be the focus of the whole performance for me - we cannot be turned over again at Ibrox by them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacStar7 18 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 What about Jack-Cardoso-McCrorie as a back 3? Jack has played cb for the sheep fiddlers in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but that tackle for the penalty wasn't inexperience imo as youths don't make that tackle it was idiotic anyone (young or not) who makes those sort of decisions shouldn't be near a team like Rangers it was on a par with the type of decision making from Davie McPherson and Ally Maxwell at the back for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking to myself "if we can just get past this first 20 mins" then he gives away a penalty within 10. Game was gone. More confidence in McCrorie doing well for us tomorrow but that's simply on the basis of what I saw against Partick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true but there's a balance - to win an old firm you need to defend well and attack well - concentrate too much on one or the other at Ibrox and we won't have much joy imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue93 76 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm fairly relaxed about McCrorrie, I've watched numerous youth games and he's consistently solid, I know it's a whole different story out there but that's all about focus..what better way for the boy to stake his claim. As much as Windass could cost us the game, he has it in him to win us the game so, who ever plays lets back them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack has played cb for the sheep fiddlers in the past. Worth considering. Tho Jack has been a revelation as D.M. The fact that Rossiter is also reputed to be injured. Who if fit would have taken that role. I.m.o. The only other option is holt in D.M. But on balance i tbink personally . That jack should remain in his normal role. Yours is a sensible option.

What bothers me most is the mad 10 or 15 minutes we have, at some point in every match. Can see us doing ok in parts, then it all unravelling under a bit of pressure. I'm sure we will get odd chances, but we need to be clinical - what we saw in the 90 mins on Tuesday just will not do! If we can take a couple, we may just see how they handle a bit of pressure, for a change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
