  1. Just not clinical enough with our chances. Thought Wright was really brave at times and drove us forward on a couple of occasions. Bar the poor goal we lost, defence done brilliantly really stood up.
  2. Should be doing our homework & waiting for the right man whoever that might be, rather than choosing from the unemployment list. Interim manager until the end of the season to give the players a kick up the arse and a bit of pride back to Ibrox. Two obvious choices for me that are managing in the league already - but wouldn’t be a popular choice with some of the suppport.
  3. We have a real explosive start in the first 10 mins, pressing & creating chances. Seems that if we don’t score in this period we slow down and all intensity is gone. Was the same against PSV. Any decent attack we started ended up back to our goalkeeper by the 4th pass. We pressed their inexperienced defence and got a lot of joy from it, then for whatever reason we stopped doing it. Was a piss poor performance so laboured and slow - we cannot move the ball quick enough middle to front.
  4. Kamara is just too casual for these kind of games. Works in Europe brilliantly because he gets time and space on the ball. Derby games are about pressing and battling for the ball, moving it forward quickly. We have a great counter threat but don’t get the ball out quick enough. Tillman & Lundstrum are struggling fitness wise - too many touches and zero urgency in their play. Not saying he is the saviour but Raskin needs to come on. So far he has shown urgency on the ball and looks for the forward pass so get him on. We will see Cantwell soon enough if we continue with the walk it into the net tactic. They look a bit shaky at set pieces so no short corners please, get the ball right on top of them.
  5. Miss out the midfield and let Sakala chase the ball out wide. He cannot stay onside, dribble past a man or cross the ball, but he can run! It’s the only reason he has started the game but we are not using the only asset he has. Tav must be carrying an injury because he didn’t stretch at all for their goal. If he isn’t fit rest him and let him recover ffs it’s doing nobody any good. Press, press, press - we are creating our chances from their hesitancy & need to push them into more errors, win set plays etc.
  6. London or Frankfurt 🤔. He’s missed the Southampton flight thankfully!
  7. Short goal kicks and immediately losing possession when teams press. Not as bad domestically but absolutely killed us in Europe. Being in the attack third and within three passes the ball is back to our keeper. Outswinging corners. Midfield not making runs into the box. Not having cover at the back post defending set plays. The standard stat of 70% ball possession / 4 or 5 attempts at goal. No urgency in final 15 minutes of a game when chasing an equaliser or winner. Slow build up / lack of counter threat General fitness of players & muscle injuries. Something not right in the sports science dept.
  8. He’s the only option when we are crying out for an out ball. Colak has done well but he’s no use when he is getting no service. Run of games and Morelos will be no 1
  9. Morelos, Arfield & Scott Wright to start at the weekend - they all made a difference. Shite performance but 3 pts, another win vs St Mirren and try and regroup during the break. Can’t see us going any further with Gio but not a chance he will be away.
  10. Writing on the wall - even Lundstrum downed tools yesterday (and booking vs Napoli). No one single player is playing for him, can see the lethargy running through the entire squad. The board will not want the aggro with AGM coming up. WC break offers an opportunity to get someone in and give them time to work with the players. We need to transition from tippy tappy to being very physical and taking the game to the opposition. It feels very Le Guen esq - Walter came in, had half a season to work with what he had & started to build up from the back. Bringing success beyond what we ever would have imagined.
  11. 20 out swinging corners same outcome everytime 😖. Manager needs to go now but not a chance it will happen
  12. He is a much better option than Scott Wright any day of the week. End product was poor at times but he was one of the better players. Ball he drilled into the box should have been finished by someone breaking their neck to get in the 6 yard box
  13. Maurice Ross, Bob Malcolm, Alan Hutton and even Barry Ferguson comes to mind. We aren’t the most patient of fan base when it comes to giving young guys a chance to develop without screaming at their every mistake. The guy has shown some promise - has had a brutal set of results but at least he’s pulling up the socks and giving his best. Invaluable experience playing against some of the best and will only aid his development in looking back at where the mistakes were made. The full backs offer very little cover & he was getting drawn out of position trying to plug the gaps.
