This Result / Performance not Good Enough

[djbroxybear 658]

Something is lacking at the moment, is it desire, motivation, edge as walter has said today ? Hibs couldn't buy a result until tonight its a fucking joke, what a chance to go 4 points clear of the SCUM. The SHEEP come on saturday changes need to be made, will walter freshen it up i cant see it. Our defense has always been solid this season were leaking too many goals, they meed to get finger out.

Rant over.

Motivation? How many times have we come back from behind this Season?

We've hit a blip - as every team does.

NO SURRENDER RANGERS

Bounce back with a good result against the sheep on Saturday!

[DarcheVinny 1,003]

im just speechless. i dont know how that same set of players can put out such a lifeless performance after the invincibility i felt after humpin the tims. im just glad we're still top.

[lgr1991 303]

Stop playing Edu and Mcculloch together, like them both, but them together is just awful. No creativity.

Hopefully, this is size 10 up the arse we have been needing since the start of the season tbh.

We played well against average SPL times twice this season, and both times, only in the second half and after going a goal down (Well and UTD) Walter needs to give them a good bollocking after this disgraceful performance

[Papa Sasac 164]

This is the result that has been coming all season. Lucky to come form behind before, and now it's bit us on the arse. What is sad, is that it's taken an injury for a change.

[Right_To_Censor 1,951]

listen it happens in football, its part and parcel of the game.

we could bitch about the ref but the fact is, we didn't show up and hibs wanted it more, so well done to colins team

[Jamie1807 146]

We'll be back

[caseyjones 3,009]

It's been coming all season and we got out of jail in many of the games we came back in. Focus now goes on to the Sheep match. They will use tonight as motivation. We must do the same.

a blip thats lasted since the opening day of the season

not a fucking chance

there hasnt been a single game this season that we have said after it "we dominated from start to finish"

another fucking garbage game, another game where smith and co have expected shher effort and desire to overcome anything else

Problem is, when the effort and desire arent there completely, we have no flair, no intelligence, no improvisation to change things,at 1-0 tonight the signs were there that we'd lose more than we'd score, and apart from the forced changes we done nothing else

remember back to the unirea game at ibrox, we dominated them first 5 mins, scored a goal, and generally looked like it was going to be a good night, but after what, 20mins or so, the opposing manager changed his tactics and team, he actually analysed our team and spotted the weaknesses,

not one game this season have rangers changed the game for the better by tactically altering it or by making subs, yes miller came off the bench against hamilton to win it. but the goal was a mistake from the opponents and the game never altered one bit, hamilton still pressured us

this "blip" has been going on since august, and i dare say that horsing the tims has seriously hidden the many faults we have the now

[Papa Sasac 164]

What I don't get, is that here we are saying how Boughy, Whittaker, Davis etc have been pish- why not Miller? The last few games he has been very poor. I think people are letting him off because of his start to the season.

Middle to front we have been fantastic this year. I dont see how 9 straight victories can be called a blip.

Effort and desire aren't there? Sorry man, but how many times have we came back from behind? How many late winners? How many games have we fought until the end to get the points? This team can be rightly criticised for many things - but effort, desire and motivation should never be called into question.

We haven't lost many league games in recent years, but when we have it's often a doin..

Utd 3-0...Hearts 3-0 Johnston Hat-trick...Hibs 3-0x2 Tonight and Sproul hat-trick, are a few that spring to mind.

Very strange.

Maybe it's that it is the game for most SPL players, adrenaline kicks in and they play well above themselves, maybe it's that sometimes we think all we have to do is turn up...most likely on any given day it's a combination of both these things.

Either way, we're top of the league, we've missed an opportunity but we're still out in front. You can be fkn damn sure Smith wont miss and hit the wall in the dressing room, and maybe (hopefully) this will be the kick up the arse a lot of the players need.

Whilst I totally agree with that statement, when Edu went off injured it made not a bit of a difference.. I actually thought, in an unfortunate way, we were going to get the attack minded midfield I'd hoped for (e.g, with Davis and McCulloch in the middle and Lafferty / Weiss on the wings). But it just didn't work.

Hibs looked far hungrier, they did everything in numbers and looked more interested. Though there was an urgency later on, it seemed a bit 'headless chicken' and not enough composure... Not quite sure what needs to change, maybe it's just one of those nights. Just glad Hearts did well

Lets sweep it under and move on. Were not allowed to criticise. What shall we put this humiliation down to? A night off? Another one?

Sickening. Rubbish. Humiliating and a distinct and obvious lack of effort.

A superb analysis.

Do the people who claimed that the result was the only thing that mattered still feel the same way?

A blip in a Season where we will win the League. What the fuck do people expect? 100 per cent records in a 38 game Season?

[ghurka 0]

Simple answer, elephant in the room, nobody wants to see it or address it, the manager is tactically naive, always has been. The proof of that it is better to be lucky than good, just let's hope that tonight wasn't all of his luck running out, he's ok in a piss poor league with more resources than most. Otherwise we are in for a cold winter, top of the league at the moment or not, on Lafferty, nothing more to say, it was apparent to all tonight.

Missed this bit - Weiss at Easter Road? Lafferty last weekend at St Mirren? Miller against Hamilton?
