govanblue 16,847 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I'll be in Club Deck 2 for this one.Judging by the ticket sales so far, I will definitely have plenty of leg room Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 We need a great performance after ICT. Not holding my breath though. We are struggling and Ally needs to get the tempo up on the park. This will be a tough tie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Macleod has looked lost every time he has played wide midfield.If you are sacrificing a central midfielder, then lose the worst performer, Ian Black.Macleod' role at LM would be to push forward inside to a more AM position with Wallace bombing up the wing outside him. Aird offers natural width on the right as he wont have to come inside as much as he does on the left. With the quintessential Rangers front two, a big man who can play and a quick footed goal scorer.

ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I don't particularly think it's backwards though. I feel 4-4-2 can be a bit stationery unless done properly. Templeton and Shiels behind McCulloch and Little could work though.This.4-4-2 is outdated teams know how to play against it easily. When Templeton is back it will be jig upfront with Little, Sheils and Templeton behind him and Black and MacLeod sitting behind them, that's a formidable team imo.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 this, looking like Wallace might not make it, who do we have that can play there?No other LB in squad. Hoping its not serious I think a back three. Lots are obviously frustrated at players being "out of position" so I don't think we should try and fit in a make shift LB. I realise this ruins my four four fuckin 2 system. Back to the drawing board.EDIT:I'd go with this if Waldo is out. Use those wings.

govanblue 16,847 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 For those of you that like a wee bit of stats about our opponents, There's a few snippets and all their results this season below. It's interesting trivia for some, and can be skipped over for those who aren't interested.Obviously it's all about how Rangers do, and I'll be up on the Club Deck tomorrow interested in only one team - the info on Alloa below is just for a wee bit of variety for anyone that's interested.Last year's Division 3 winners are currently flying high in Division 2.They've played a couple of teams we're familiar with (East Fife, Brechin, QOTS (twice) and a few we'll be getting to know in the near future, so it's interesting to see how they coped against them.We'll maybe be playing them in Div 2 next year (unless they get promoted) so it's maybe worth getting vaguely familiar with them (their stadium capacity is 3100 by the way)Last Season, Alloa won Division 3, with 4 games still to go, by beating Elgin 8-1. They won 23, drew 8 and lost 5, finishing top on 77 points, 14 points clear of 2nd placed Queen's Park.This season, Alloa were eliminated from both Ramsden and League cups at the very first round, before the first league fixture of the season.Since then they have played 10 league games, and are sitting on 19 points, (behind QOTS on 27 points and 3 points ahead of 3rd place Forfar - all teams played 10 games).This is their first game in this season's Scottish CupLeague Division 2 Results:(played 10: won 6, drawn 1, lost 3)27 Oct - Alloa Athletic 5 - 1 Albion Rovers20 Oct - Alloa Athletic 1 - 0 Ayr United6 Oct - Forfar Athletic 2 - 3 Alloa Athletic29 Sep - Queen of the South 1 - 0 Alloa Athletic22 Sep - Alloa Athletic 3 - 0 Stranraer15 Sep - Alloa Athletic 0 - 2 Stenhousemuir01 Sep - Brechin City 1 - 3 Alloa Athletic25 Aug - Alloa Athletic 2 - 3 Arbroath18 Aug - Albion Rovers 0 - 3 Alloa Athletic11 Aug - Alloa Athletic 1 - 1 East FifeLeague Cup 1st Round exit :4 Aug Queen of the South 5 - 2 Alloa AthleticRamsdens Cup 1st Round exit:28 July Cowdenbeath 1 - 1 Alloa Athletic - Cowdenbeath win 3-1 on penalties Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie0202 12,502 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 this, looking like Wallace might not make it, who do we have that can play there?A good few games ago Argy played there. In fact it was his debut and he had a nightmare on the left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrawfordRfc 111 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 So if stats are anything to go by we'd better be solid at the back today. The only game they've failed to score was a 1-0 loss to the team bossing the league. An eary goal would be ideal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think today is capturing the imagination exactly.Edit: Just seen Rab Boyle on twitter saying 22-23k. Sorry for doubting our fans.
