RFC55 110,351 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 What you're seeing with us is exactly the same as Brentford. Check there late goal stats for last season.Away from home suits us better imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 A danger in the air, inside their box, would create an extra dynamic that teams would have to deal with creating more space to play through. We'll have to wait until at least January to address that, if MW thinks it needs addressed.Right now it's relatively easy to stifle us if teams put 10 men the width of the box in our way. But, we are managing just fine right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,957 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Every team in the league will play 10 behind the ball at Ibrox, even Hibs. Away from home we play so much more freely because teams actually try to play football, which is where our superiority shines through. I believe it will really show the next two weekends as St Mirren and Hibs fans won't have their teams sitting back against us, especially at home.

PRW. 5,631 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Other teams are beginning to read us but they can't stop us.This.The gaps aren't as big as they were at the start of the season but no team in the championship are capable of stopping us for an entire game, as our record shows.

A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 With no Plan B it was always going to happen. That and a few glaring weaknesses in our team as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 31,353 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Think you might be on the wind up but I'll bite and say we did play quite a few precision long balls today especially out wide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,291 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 With no Plan B it was always going to happen.

Been doing it all season. Difference is, it's acceptable now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotor 2,208 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 We're definitely getting less space but we just need to get used to finishing better in that space.That was the most attempts on goal we have had since the St Mirren game, so we weren't stopped today, we were just squeezed. We also had our usual amount of possession and a more than usual number of corners.Attacking and defending corners is becoming a bit of a worry for me though.

The Dude 20,026 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Think you might be on the wind up but I'll bite and say we did play quite a few precision long balls today especially out wide. And a few non precision ones too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbroxBurnzy 484 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 A little bit more composure near their goal and we would have scored 4 or 5 easily and not to mention the Goalie having a blinder.Not too worried as long as we start scoring more again.

folkestoneger 8,467 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Like most other close results this season it was close because we didn't take our chances not because they were that good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoatbridgeBear 7,113 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Their goalie made a few good saves, and we wasted some chances. Nonsense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday Loyal 998 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Passing football is great but sometimes the tempo has to increase. the amount of times today the progress up field was that slow QOS got everyone behind the ball Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstone Burgh 1,659 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Been doing it all season.

Zulu 981 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The only way to play against our type of game is to park the bus an wait for a break most of these teams are happy with a draw against us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The real difference is that they are no longer aimless hoofs repeated constantly for 90 minutes every weekExcept it wasn't like that. People often 'adapt' the past to suit their own outlook of the world. Listen it might not be palatable to many but plenty of the percieved heinous crimes/mistakes/failures of bygone years are now acceptable. Denying it just makes people look a bit silly. We are in a much better position now, I'm very happy with Warburton. But, it's difficult to overlook the majority of people on here and their hypocrisy.

the_r_sole 366 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Tbh, I still think if we had a potent goal threat we'd be putting these teams away easily - we still created a load of chances.I know people will tell me waghorn and miller are doing it, but I'm never confident they will finish their chances and miller looked like it was last season today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
