I know we are light up front but getting some quality in the middle must be priority No question that has to be the focus come January. Rumour was 2 midfielders to be brought in. Until then we have to work with what we have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence needs to get back to basics and that's defend first and foremost and just clear the ball. I think they are trying to evolve their game but they just need to stick to doing the basics well. Hopefully they will get a bollocking and screw the lid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Having a look at the fixtures there. After the Motherwell game we have 6 days until the Livingston game then it’s 2 games a week solid until the break. We have 11 fixtures in 30 odd days including Villarreal, rapid, hearts, hibs twice, sheep and the bheasts. Our squad will be shagged half way through that fixture list. December really is a make or break month. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a cunt of a schedule i really hope we just go on a winning run and grind out the results but I don’t think we have the players or the mentality for it. We need to match the tarriers results and go into the OF game in contention, maybe even the possibility of going above them in the league, which will more than likely mean top spot. keep in contention, sign some quality in January and you never know Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe was a flattering distraction, now that looks over. We are not a team with any cohesion, no understanding between players, not enough magic, our ability to actually control a game is zilch, we still haven’t learned how to get in behind a stubborn defence and I doubt we have the players to do it. Our boss is still wet behind the ears as a manager I would love too think the boss can get things right but I honestly can’t see it happening this season. Is it ok to just say fuck off for tonight? Incidentally folk, possibly like, you were saying that we’d never get near the group stages..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 We'll drop at least 10 points before we play the filth at Ibrox. By then they will have the league done and dusted yet again and we'll be fighting it out for second with Hearts and Hibs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a feeling it will be double digit gap before the OF game and they will effectively have the league finished by the break. I live in hope, but our squad just isn’t big enough or good enough to cope with the amount of games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, some folk are already throwing in the towel ffs. Looking at the league, we are in a decent position if we can see it through till the new year, and then strengthen player wise. Everyone in our league has been inconsistent, including those above us. Still a long long way to go. We are only 4 months into the season, and with a new manager and new team, some folks expect miracles overnight and that just doesn't happen in the real world.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I tell you what. Sometimes this place would make you tan your wrists after a bad result. we were crap everywhere but upfront and goalie position, I don’t see any need in delvingdeeper and deeper in tactics formations selections etc. Gerrard will either succeed or he won’t and he’ll be another one the failures list. Theres no doubt improvements to be made as a whole but I’m going to see what we’re like in February after another window. Give him chance to get a few better players in and if it still doesn’t work then fine. It’s hard bringing a winning mentality to a bunch of losers. His biggest mistake so far is keeping tavernier as captain. There’s a few others but I’d rather wait and see if he corrects them. a lot of fans want Gerrard gone but will not come up with a reasonable replacement.

Dazzler 2,428 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Sunday is going to be very tough. Motherwell will sit deep, slow the game at every opportunity. The fans will get frustrated and the players will go through the motions. Our squad don't have the players to cope with that. They don't have the ability or the desire. Eventually one of the liabilities will make a school boy error and we'll drop more points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than under 9 mate. For their third Flanagan had a chance to clear but plays the short pass back inside to Coulibaly who under pressure should clear it away, but no he decides to play another short pass and gets caught playing a shit pass, one pass wide ball whipped in Mcgregor makes a wonder save and Adriano is standing all alone to nod in. If you looked up what’s the problem with Rangers defence that passage of play just sums us up, amateur hour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
