Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Brilliant performance there. Tavernier (is that how you spell it?), what can I say? If he continues on in this form, then he is going to be worth millions!! Waghorn - should've had a double hat-trick. Done everything but score. Needs to take more time with his shots.Lee Wallace - Looks like a new signing, should've scored. Seemed to get tired as the game went on, which seems to reinforce the theory that his fitness has been the problem over the last two seasons.Barrie McKay - the time out on loan seems to have done the trick. Seems to know that the only way is down after you leave the Gers. Looking like the player we had in the first half of the 3rd division.Centre backs - strolled the game. Not much else to be said.Kenny Miller - looking to be a brilliant impact sub. Took his goal well and linked up well. Still got a couple years left in the tank.Sheils - got man of the match, dunno why? He didn't do anything wrong, played quite well, but the were better players on the park today.Holt - came on for Law, straight replacement and had similar impact as law. Both played well.Halliday - Needs to remember he's a player, not a fan. I can see him getting a lot of bookings if he doesn't cool down. Played well otherwise. Keeper - Had nothing to do. Positioning was a little better, but still seems to get dragged to close to his near post. Not a lot to say, did he even have a save to make? Clark - not Rangers class unfortunately. I almost forgot to add him in.Templeton - Got a goal, some nice touches. Needs to play more to get his confidence back.Management - Seem to have the team playing the way they want, the way the said they wanted them to play. Looking to be a class act, really pleased that we got them in, they weren't my first choice, but I really like what I have seen so far. Great to be impressed by our football. When was the last time any of us could say that eh?Can see a packed Ibrox for the St Mirren game, hopefully the fans will be in better voice.Great match, well done to all the boys. It's great to have a Gers team that is good to watch again, God how I missed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark isn't as bad as everyone makes out.... he set up Miller last week for one as well didn't he? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Tavernier was MoM, not Shiels. Cunts were flying into Halliday and Templeton all game, no surprise one of them snapped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 8,012 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 You have to laugh with the people on here who for the last 6 or 7 years seemed to think that attacking attractive football equals loosing football for some strange reason, it's a travesty we didn't start this revolution in the 3rd Division, but at least W&W are here now to give us what we need.

That pass out to Wallace? 110 degrees from the way he was facing. I didn't even notice there was a pass like that on, fuck knows how he not only seen it, but pulled it off.

True Azure 1,414 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 This new systen and new training method seems to have vastly improved players who were shadows last season. I am mightily impressed by their improvement in the games I have watched and hope that this form change continues in the games to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 15,100 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Management impressed me. Subbing Miller on turned the game imo.

Duncan Disorderly 182 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 That's twice I've seen the new Gers - last week at Hivs and today. Continually playing high tempo attacking football eventually wears teams down. As soon as their tempo drops we go to town on them. The fitness is now there and the philosophy is fantastic. Still loads of rough edges but this is very very exciting.Another great benchmark next Friday. St Mirren will be fitter and will sit in keeping their shape etc. so I don't expect them to flag in the last 20-30m nor leave themselves open to the counter attack. So an early lead will be vital next week.Incidentally - 39 shots on goal and 27 on target - whoooooph!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerry1971 249 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 It is amazing the turnaround. Compared to last season night and day?Why did ally et al make a rip-roaring cunt of things??Proper football with a proper manager? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirWeiss69 954 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Imo i think Waghorn plays better as a winger than a centre forward, was still immense though. This team right now would be good enough to finish 3rd or 4th in the spfl. We will take some amount of beating especially if we get Eustace in as well!

Blackandra 732 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Anyone else notice we're always looking to play a shirt corner now as opposed to lumping it into the box to no one like last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gartsherriederry 81 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Only thing il disagree with is Barrie McKay I didn't think he played well at all got pushed off the ball a lot and didn't go by his man often ..was the sane against hibs albeit he set one up in that game ..we need to use different wide men or sign two wingers as templeton has had loads of chances to impress and fails time and time again ..other than that the team is looking walk good and Wilson snd kiernan need to be more commanding they lose too many headers and could be punished against better opposition Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to have a Gers team that is good to watch again, God how I missed it.Certainly looks like they're able to resurrect the careers of some of the players some of the players who looked to be on their way out. I'm really feeling optimistic about what we can achieve this season. Sure there may be the odd hiccup along the way when teams decide to park the bus, but if they do they might still get a battering for not trying.I hear we've sold just over 30,000 ST's, if the results keep coming I'm sure that'll creep up as the weeks go by. With 1/2 season books I could see us ending up with around 40,000 sold, if not more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
