legalbeagle 3,734 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I am still not convinced we won't get over 100 points, but something in the 90s would be a minimum expectation for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanFerguson2012 123 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I posted about this a few weeks ago after another of our away draws. I do expect us to win a fair no of our away games once the team learns to deal with wee pitches with dodgy surfaces, criminal tackles and bad referees.We are unbeaten and only 1 point off the top given our goal difference. By November we are very likely to be top of the 3rd division & starting to stretch our lead.Shame all the away grounds are not like Hampden Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkster 6 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Actually if anyone bothered to look at the league, we are in a better position now that we were at 3 oclock, we have no god given right to win every game and the sooner people realise that this is going to be a struggle the betterThis Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd true bluenose 86 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Some of the knee-jerk on here is frightening, although it's partly timposters.As far as I can see our problems away from home are easily identifiable and nothing to worry about long term.High balls when the CB's are more physical than your forward line - Not going to work.If the wind's in your favour - Hit a dig, not a cross to no-one.Tackling needs to be harder to assert our dominance in the game.The logic has to try and be to pick a pass for a running teammate or to pass the ball quickly round them, not backwards trying to pull out a team that's set up to play 11 men behind the ball.Shots outside the box - I touched on it previously with regards to the wind BUT in general we don't shoot outside the box YET repeatedly try and walk it into the net when there's 10 guys within 25 yards of their own net. It's been a problem for years but teams have used it against us to great effect (think panathanikous europe 3-0) and we (with the players we have) should be able to hit a fucking dig and test a 3rd Division keeper!so training at murray park should`t we make the playing surface smaller and pack the defensive area full of players to highlight what were up against in this division ???

Tiebreak54 151 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We will win the league, not in the slightest bit concerned. If for some ridiculous reason we did not win the league, then I am sure we would go up via a play-off. Although I have no idea how they actually work or where you have to finish to qualify. Regardless, its a formality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE 4,880 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'd rather we went up through the playoffs - would be amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeBearette 223 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Before the league campaign started I had thought about our chances of getting 100 points. It didn't seem that outlandish. Obviously I am more realistic now, as two more draws, or one defeat stops that dream.I still think we will win the league by a large margin and am of the opinin that we will score over 100 league goals. Which would be a division 3 record.I really don't understand the panic from some posters here.Didn't Gretna score 130 goals?! .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASGOWRFC 101 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Give the team a chance to gel, we've had no pre-season. Yeah, we should be winning most, if not every game, but once we click we'll be fine!This^^^^Good post! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZed 4,510 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Season 2004-05 they scored 130. So over 100 won't be a division 3 record. 131 will be though .That sounds like a challenge Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Carpintero 546 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Actually contemplating not winning any away matches. Our owners will not let it get that bad, of that you can be sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,287 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Perhaps the other teams will have shot their bolt by the time we come to play them the second time ... you can understand why the first time is the biggest game of their careers where as when it happens again it will be slghtly less orgasmic for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delamonty 992 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 The difference between our home and away form is spectacular to say the least! Is it a question of motivation at these grounds? Who knows? Ally doesn't -- but I don't blame him -- yet. But he clock is ticking on getting it sorted.It truly is an enigma. Of course we'll win the division -- and hopefully go unbeaten in the process. Away form has everyone baffled... That s the only thing I'm sure of :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
falwheel 222 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 if we continue to win all our home games and draw away how would you rate our chances lol?I would rate our chances of having a happy life together as not very likely considering you are an ugly fat bastard.

CoatbridgeBear 7,113 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Fucksake, we'll win our next away game, and we'll wipe the floor wae this league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm not really one to jump the gun but I can't really see us losing at home I'd be really surprised if we did, our away form will pick it certainly won't stay the same.

Peasie 103 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The chances are Rangers will lose at home but by the same token the chances are they will start winning most of the away games. Although, Gretna won all their games at home one season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,582 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Give the team a chance to gel, we've had no pre-season. Yeah, we should be winning most, if not every game, but once we click we'll be fine!Since the season has started we've pretty much had the same starting 11 in every game and we've had more games since our season has started than we probably would have got in pre-season. We've got players in there that would easily be challenging for the SPL, there's no excuse for still not having an away win recorded in mid-September. Needing time to gel is a warn-out, lazy excuse.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,585 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Great home record, depressing away record.This team will improve in time. They have huge potential. Our players will read each other better and become a solid unit. They just need time. We will win the division and at least 2 cups IMO.NSIB Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
