LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 ALLY MCCOIST was delighted to see his side progress to the second round of the Ramsdens Cup against Brechin but knows the performance could have been better.The manager admitted the trip to Glebe Park was a tough test for his players given it was their first competitive outing.But he was pleased with that graft put in from his new look team and believes they can only get stronger.He said: "I thought at times in the game it was a really good performance, we shouldn't forget that is only our first competitive game."We've had a couple of bounce games but that is all and for it to go to extra time and for us to progress is pleasing."I don't think anyone can say we didn't deserve to win the game but with it going to extra time it certainly put our boys' fitness levels to the test."But the most important thing, and it's the same for every cup tie, is that we went through."Ally also praised youngsters Lewis Macleod and Barrie McKay for their displays.He added: "You only get out of the game what you put into it and I was particularly pleased for the younger boys."Macleod was outstanding and Barrie did well although he will get better."But I was also really pleased with the older pros such as Ian Black and Lee Wallace was deservedly man of the match."Big Lee also got his winning goal so I would hate for people to look at the game and think I wasn't happy with the performance."I was and to be fair to Brechin they worked hard, played well and caused us a few problems on the break."But overall I just thought we deserved it." http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/football-news/article/2864305?

crabbit bear 139 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I couldnt argue with that, a very honest offering from Super. I thought Black had a very solid game for his debut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Brand 54 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I think Ally will be disappointed by the effort of Goin and some poor passing. Our Manager has a hard job and will support his players as any good manger should but he should have a word with some of them about finding another club and then signing some real Rangers men who will play for the jersey and the fans.As an extra thought why do we have idiots abusing Brechin players on the touchline. These guys were OK and we need some friends in the game not more that hate us.Ian Black and a couple of youngsters were a real plus for me.

simplythebestest 2,148 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 What was said regarding abuse?To be fair I did see a wee bit (not much) from the touchline while watching today. I basically just clocked a few wanker signs and taunts when they were taking throw-ins, that's all. I was a little bit disappointed, but I admit there may have been a reason for it I wasn't aware of. Also, the travelling fans made the effort to get up the road for the game so I am in no position to criticise.Minuscule gripe.Also - great comments from Ally. His patience paid off and the lads played well for having next to no pre-season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Quite right Ally if we are still playing like that at the end of August then we can worry, not yet though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allanger 625 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Ally and the team will get a certain amount of leeway as they haven't had a proper pre season. Hopefully we see a rapid improvement in the weeks ahead Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC82 15 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Considering we have basically had no pre-season i dont think we should expect too much.As normal i will allow at least 8 league games to pass before making judgement on the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,604 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 It was far from a great start, but we have had very little preparation.The team gritted their teeth and got the required result eventually.The result is what matters. Well done Ally and the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
