wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Right, the game is upon us. Biggest game of the season so far. We have ALOT of work to do this week to get to a standard to beat them up there IMO Going with today's showing and recent form then this is going to be very hard to get a win.It's a cup tie so there is always a chance but a massive improvement throughout the whole team is needed.This is a gauge to see how far we have come under McCoist this season. With our squad of players we should be able to compete with this mob Heart says 2-0 rangers Head says 0-3 DUFC And to any fans thinking of going, please don't. Respect the wishes of our manager and our club and don't let the side down as it will only lead to bad press Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You work fast.The likes of Shiels, Black and Sandaza will be important imo. But, Shiels and Fran didn't do much in todays game to warrant getting a start in this one.I'd like to see Crawford, McKay and Kal get a shot at this. Crucially, I want to see our captain back. He'll make sure the rest are Ready for the battle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 i would go with this:AlexanderArgyriou, Perry, McCulloch ©, WallaceAird, MacLeod (if fit), Black, TempletonShielsLittleCribari has been too inconsistent this season IMO and i can see Russell causing him a lot of problems, so i would stick Jig back there to add a bit of experience and stability.i believe young Aird would thrive on this kind of game. he was thrown into the deep end when he was handed his debut against Motherwell and i think he did very well that night. i was considering McKay but i think Aird is better suited to the right wing.i think Black is a big game player and i know he'll be well up for this one. he'll add bite to the midfield which is exactly what's needed for a game like this.Andy Little has been great this season when played up front, not in midfield. i imagine Sandaza would be firing blanks all day (although this might be the perfect opportunity to prove himself? i wouldn't take that risk though) so i would start with Little.

G.E.C. 18,771 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The defence worries me, Russell and Mackay-Steven need to have quiet games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymate1690 625 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Lets be honest , play like we have in the last 2 months and we will be torn apart . We are going to need a miricale IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brissybear 50 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Can't see anything other than getting pumped to be honest Montrose looked dangerous every time they went forward today and if Lewis is out then even worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbo 588 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We need McCulloch back in my opinion.I'd go 4-4-2 with a starting lineup of: Alexader, Wallace, Perry, Cribari, Hegarty, Templeton, MacLeod (if fit), Hutton, McKay, Little and McCulloch.Lets put today behind us and go out and show what we are made of Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvager 498 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 After today I don't know what to expect. Without McLeod we struggle. We have no consistent RB. Cribari's pace will be shown up at this level too albeit he is good in the air.We need our experienced players to step up, but cannot rely on Sandaza for goals. I would play McCulloch up front.We need a big day from Shiels and Templeton.Overall I cannot see us beating DU on present form.Tactically I just wonder what Ally will come out with.My heart says we can win this, but my head says no way.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Dundee Utd aren't anything special. this has been their worst season for a few years and their confidence will be low after a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Ross County today, who are 11th in the SPL. we weren't fancied to beat Motherwell because of our poor form but beat them we did. we are all disappointed after todays result but i believe we have a serious chance of getting a result next weekend Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastie 11 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The transfer window could play a role here. I hope the taigs buy Russell & Mackay-Steven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think to be fair this game can be treated in isolation and like an old firm game I don't think our league form will be an indicator to how we will play.The reality is though should we play at the level we have been of late we will get battered. We are badly going to miss Macleod and I guarantee ally starts jig in midfield...argiou is not the best but at least as a natural right back he gives us balance.Lots of comments today re how good perry played..not to sure on that...he made some good last ditch challenges but he had to because he was caught flat footed or out of position and against Russell etc he will get exposed.We need to play with much more intensity and black will have to produce. Definetly not confident but as ever there is always hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyFC 81 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 All the 3rd Division teams that play us come with a real cup final attitude and it shows (not an excuse for Rangers performance against Montrose today but a fact all the same). We'll go out and play our "Biggest game of the season so far" with exactly that attitude and I'm hopeful we'll get a result. Come on Rangers! broxi74 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger50champ 300 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I didn't think we were as bad a some on here today .Thought Cribari and Perry were decent and made quite a few superb last minute tackles .For me Sandaza was shocking .Another 15 chances spurned and no return .Few of our other forwards showed very little composure with Temps very guilty on quite a few occasions..We can win next week .Utd are not the same as before but rest assured they will be wanting to make there mark against us big time .Big Lee has to come back in and hope we are solid as a unit for any chance next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
