Virtuoso 27,180 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Not even looking at the gap but sitting 4th on equal points with 6th (and only one more than 7th) isn't acceptable no matter how anyone wants to spin it. Something isn't working and it needs addressed sharply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Win our game in hand then it's down to 5 points. Still not good and had we won games we should've we could've been top but it's far from over IF we regain our knack of scoring goals. eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

writingranger 1,412 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Just now, Smile said: Pedro & Warburton level. We are much more in control of games than we were under Pedro, but we do lack the ability to mix it up, attack at pace and break teams down. Today we looked as though we were happy with 1-0 and couldn't find another gear. it may well be that the team is jaded with so many games and needs a real shake up. Some of our fringe players are rusty or inexperienced but do have the sort of pace that can hurt people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

waspie3 1 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Considering how inept we have looked going forward in recent games, amazingly we are still top scorers in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 We’ve lost our form up front, Gerrard needs to sort it, he needs to change his game plans, we are too predictable. Maybe we should try sitting back against a well drilled defence and take our luck. Keep the cavalry charges for the diddy teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,917 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Have to admit though its the most competitive league in years. Nine points from first to seventh. gogzy, Perth_Campsie_Ger and The No.9 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point but neither Warburton or Pedro were (still) in Europe and the prestige that brings. This team still looks far more likely to start winning the games it draws and the hidden statistic is how much better and more competitive the other teams are. After all, it's Hearts who are top. What was the points gap after the same number of games in those seasons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glory awaits 284 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Been all over Europe, new manager, load of new players, woeful start to season domestically & still only 4 from the top ( I don’t include hearts bets top as there pish & will be behind us by Xmas ) i think it’s impossible to get any worse, imo big improvement will be seen domestically once we get group stage of europa over.....
