Killie and Livi away back-to-back was always destined to be a banana skin for us. They've got St Johnstone away then Hivs at home next which are difficult fixtures. Hopefully we can take max points from the next couple and they slip up. The sheep are due a doing from us anyway. I’m more confident that the peado club will take 6 points from their next two then us tbh. We have it in us to be a good team but inconsistency is killing our title challenge. Obviously I hope I’m talking shite. SeparateEntityMyArse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully their shite away form continues and we take maximum points, we are due a run of wins. Hope so mate but then I just don’t trust us to pick up maximum points. I’m refusing to get my hopes up.

CoopsLaud 4,184 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The pressure on them now is that they know we are capable of beating them and beating them well on our day. This makes a huge difference compared to previous seasons when we were pushovers. Imperative to win upcoming games and to always keep within touching distance. 3 points at most. League is still winnable and we all know brendas bottle will collapse under pressure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think we are due one over them at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If with a new manager, squad overhaul, time taken for players to gel and find consistency etc (all barriers/ hurdles to overcome) we've come close then I imagine and hope that without those factors next season we'll be better from day 1. Think these are bigger factors than ones such as teams know how to play us etc which could be deemed making it more difficult next season. What's your take on why next season will be more difficult? I don't foresee them spending massively, a risk for us will be selling Morelos and not replacing him well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're banking on them standing still or Rodgers buying duds if he stays. Morelos is a near enough certainty to go, Tav possibly as well, and for me the big question mark over Gerrard/Allen is recruitment. I get what you're saying in that first sentence though.

Smile 26,600 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 We were never consistent enough to win the league even with the collapse of the filth this year we have found it hard to keep enough pressure on them. Consistency is what we need I think we have the players but we have a manager learning his trade and at times it shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've shown credibility in our challenge that if they had money to spend they would have. I really do think the biscuit tin has been locked, perhaps the court cases are causing them financial concerns after all. Can only hope that if we get good money for the two you mention, if they go, then our options and markets increase to get a better more ready calibre of player perhaps 3,4 million rather than the more limited 2m max or typically freebies. All ifs buts and maybes til summer time I suppose 👍 Laudrupsleftfoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency is what we need I think we have the players but we have a manager learning his trade and at times it shows. Yep our team can beat any team in this league, no question. That they don't, consistently, is due to issues outwith the players technical ability that we need to sort to get the consistency needed to win a league.

SIRB_72 3,987 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 They will drop points, they've only won 2 matches in a row against teams they should be beating at home. Having a 6 point margain is great for them and leaves us with very little wriggle room particularly in matches against them. We just have to start doing our bit. Despite the signings of Defoe and Davis I think the manager has found his best team (11 vs Livi) with the exception of Goldson. Stick with that 11 and no silly rotation for the sake of it. There is no reason why trips to Pittodrie, Easter Rd, parkhead and Rugby Park (in the cup) become games to worry about if he has a settled side. It goes without saying and the manager already has acknowledged it but this is now the time to go on a 7 or 8 game winning and the evidence points to the fact that for the last 18 months celtic have not been able to do this.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Inconsistency has been the hallmark so far. That needs to change and that is arguably SG's biggest challenge for the rest of the season. Accomplish it and you never know what might yet happen for the league title. By tradition, as I recall it (but I may be wrong) Rangers often have a better 2nd half of the season than the other lot. If that tradition bears out then this would be a really good season to see it established again. That said, the nose and tail of it is we cannot afford any more slip ups. SG has to find a way of turning out teams that do one job only - win each game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackAlex93 11,220 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Cant believe some of the knee jerk reactions since losing to Killie. celtic aint Barcelona and will drop points. Our consistency is a big problem but celtic aren't exactly setting the world alight. Keep in touching distance till the split.

Meantime we need to get back up to speed. I’m not sure they have. Few guys on loan who’ve reasonably comfortably beaten Airdrie, St Mirren, Hamilton and St Johnstone. I’ll wait until they’re actually up against someone who’s not just cannon fodder and they’re actually away from their midden. Still the same shite midfield and defence, if not worse with Benkovic (?) and braceface with long term injuries. BridgeIsBlue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
