Senna 735 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Again I don't necessarily think teams "parked the bus" this season and likewise the approach from the SFL2 teams will be very similar to what we have faced this year.....My biggest issue with this season was we had no plan B....If we couldn't break teams down well that was that....we lacked intensity and fluency in our play and in the final 3rd, barring a few games we seemed short of ideas. This season we need to press much higher and quicker to put these teams under more pressure, we need to maintain our width to stretch them and move the ball quicker to get in behind, create chances and ultimately to not give them the chance to break up the play by fouling. I hope the new players make a difference but ultimately the whole ethos has to change, regardless who plays.,I definitely think that the majority of teams this last season were keen to sit in and defend and hit us on the break, for my money that's parking the bus to a large degree, but that's just opinion. We were dreadfully short on ideas but that's not necessarily going to change much this coming season, unless Law can bring something else. Agreed on the last bit, Ally needs to watch a few dvds and maybe hire a new coach on attacking movement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandhi1872 186 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Pleased with the signings so far and glad we have them done so early. I agree we need defenders but I haven't seem or heard of any defenders out of contract that sound like they would be good signings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 We've brought in good players. Far too good for the level we're at that's for sure. It'll be expensive on wages and it could possibly limit the chances our youth players will get. This is the way Ally wants to do things and we just need to accept it. I can see us lining up with either a 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1:BellArgyriou McCulloch Cribari WallaceHumphrey Law McLeod TempletonClark DalyBellArgyriou McCulloch Cribari WallaceBlack McLeodLaw Shiels TempletonDaly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 One of the biggest myths from last season was every team upping their game against us and it was their wee cup final, that's bullshit if anything we got brought down to their level - a lot of times were actually pish but could still outplay us if that makes sense and is not too much of a contradictionI really hope Ally plays two upfront this year, I know a lot of teams play with one up front, top class teams play it. They have the players to play the 4-5-1 ----4-3-3 but were playing in Division 2 ffs. I really hope he plays 2 up top this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think ally will start the season with daly at back.Actually my thought as well, if Goian and Boca both leave wouldn't surprise me if we find a central defensive partnership of McCulloch and Daly.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Very pleased so far, if we can get a good couple of CBs then we are good to go. Alot depends on our style of play, Allys been making noises about a more attacking style so im prepared to write off last season and start again now and see how we develop now we will have no transfer ban, clearly plenty of time to get players signed and a full preseason there is no more excuses.

Oh all right win the league with a record point tally, win the Ramsden, and reach the final of one of the cups, wit a final that would be 200k bears in Glasgow.

If any Rangers manager needed to stamp a style of play on the team its Ally and as a striker he should understand the frustrations of being asked to play up front on your own, even Nicky Clark's having to talk about it and saying hes prepared to play up on his own if he has too, much better to have at least two strikers and someone just behind them.

hammer93 15,056 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Until we see these guys play for the gers its unfair to judge either way.I'm sure the defence will get sorted with a couple of signings but it couldbe we are awaiting the return of Boca and goian.
