ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If we get ahead I believe we'll pump them, they got lucky last time and parked te bus, if we score first they'll have to play open football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 12,272 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 SOME STATS. FROM RANGERS V ALBION AT IBROX, SHOTS AT GOAL-RANGERS 33 SHOTS AT GOAL-ALBION 3 CORNERS - RANGERS 14 CORNERS -ALBION 6 PLAYERS BOOKED-RANGERS 1 PLAYERS BOOKED -ALBION 4 POSSESSION- RANGERS 60% POSSESSION- ALBION 40% MAKES YOU THINK!!!.Welcome to the forum mclaren.I'm actually in the minority of our support in thinking that the performance in the first game wasn't as bad as the scoreline suggests. If we took a handful of the chances we created and won the game by two or three goals then no-one would have blinked an eyelid. I felt we dominated almost the entire match and your stats certainly back that up. It's so difficult breaking down teams which defend in such numbers and I think better Rangers teams from the past would have struggled just as much.Anyway I'm confident of the victory on Monday night.'Mon the Gers.

ready1873 3,885 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I know every team will obviously raise their game against us but worth noting that Queens Park are pumping Albion at the moment They rested just about the whole eleven that played against us.

Abbondanzieri 19 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Would be nice to start without the target man as it results in us pumping the ball all too often.Faure is also a better centre back than McCulloch. The Peralta and Black partnership didn't work. Aird is more effective on the right than left but without Templeton and Little we are stretched.BellFoster Faure Mohsni WallaceBlack LawCrawford Shiels Aird Clark Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy millar 107 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Agree that Faure is a better centre back than Jig,but our captain must play for his penalty skills alone.I would always have him in the team as he sets examples in application,better cf than Daly.You`re also spot on re Black/Peralta.

I wouldn't have Daly or McCulloch up front, it's too predictable. Albion Rovers will sit deep, expect the long ball, a physical battle. Get the ball down, pass, move, raise the tempo, drive them out of position, cut them open. Chances and numerous ones at that will be created and with the likes of Clark, Shiels and Law we know where the net is. Or, we could match up to the opposition and play the way they expect us to.

weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We have learned our lesson.Key players were rested today so we will win this game. Will not have flare with Templeton injured.We will also hump United. They are having intermittent form for the first time in a few years. They are definitely beatable.

damienios 4 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Gutted that I won't get to the match but I'm looking forward to watching it on TV. I'm glad that Ally rested some key players today and I'm confident of a win. Albion Rovers 0-3 Rangers is my prediction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We'll probably line up thus:BellFoster Jig Mohsni WallaceCrawford Black Law AirdDaly ClarkI said on another thread that I think Monday will be another 'park the bus' tactic from Rovers and we will struggle to break it down. Hopefully we can get a few early goals and settle the game before HT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
285miles 502 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Albion had nothing on Sunday apart from 11 men behind the ball and were gifted their goal. I agree better passing is the key and ensuring that Albion don't get what they're expecting.A couple of goals from us and they will capitulate.

Long balls to the isolated Jon Daly play right into their hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
