allgers 735 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 What is plan B, you know I think I will leave that to the two gents in charge to work out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think we should try chipping the ball over these teams off-side traps and have someone, maybe 2 or 3 different players, one at a time, running on to catch the ball. Also, we should hammer in a few more shots at goal and see what the resulting 'spillage' might bring. Both these tactics could do with a few more players getting into the box than has been the case recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,654 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Exactly but I'd like to know now that there is a plan B in MW'S back pocketDo plan A better - that's his plan B.He's not going to abandon his principles because some shitey no mark, no ambition, hammer throwers are happy to sit deep and take a 0-0. It's like we used to do under Walter in Europe, it's difficult to beat, but quality normally shines through. I'm confident teams will 'have a go' more when we're in the top league, and we'll take teams to bits when they give us space. I would like to see us shoot more though, it's a bit 'Arsenal like' when we try to walk the ball into the net or score the perfect goal.

Amac9 2,060 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If we don't improve on our last 3 or 4 games I think we may drop points in our next 2 matches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,057 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'm sure MW touches on the fact that we have now played everyone in the league so he expects more teams to sit in against us, I'm sure he says it's up to him to find a game plan to combat against this, I wouldn't expect a massive change in what we do but maybe a small tweak where and their depending on the opposition.

sammy cox 664 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If we don't improve on our last 3 or 4 games I think we may drop points in our next 2 matches.Teams are making it more and more difficult for us which is what they set out to do and what they are entitled to do with sticking almost every player back behind the ball and hoping they can get something on the break or a slip up in defence. This is their answer to our new style of play which tells me that we are getting something right.We may well drop points but every team drops points, there have been Rangers teams in the past who have dropped points and there will be in the future its all part of the game.We are only 3 months into a major rebuild on the footballing side and I for one hope that the direction we are on continues to bring the success our great old club deserves.

Bluefarm 1,055 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Gers to win by at least 2 tomorrow. We are a better team when sides have to come out and play a wee bit in front of their own support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allgers 735 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 No unbeaten run can go on forever, it would be nice, but the important thing is to win the championship. Still I fancy our chances tomorrow cause st mirren can't afford to be ultra defensive, their defense is shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 11,877 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If we don't improve on our last 3 or 4 games I think we may drop points in our next 2 matches.Me too. More importantly next season although most premium teams are shite they are a level above what we are playing now.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 What a lousy start to the weekend. Up at dawn to make sure I don't miss the St Mirren game only to find out it's tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,594 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Got a feeling we might drop points tomorrow,probably will be a terrible game to watch with them with 10 men behind the ballAnd us trying to break them down,hopefully an early goal and game over Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wearethepeople72 1,847 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yes....we are still playing possession football but not QUICK TEMPO possession football. We are now giving teams too much time to think.Is there such a thing as "quick tempo possession football"?Possession football is all about being patient in order to pick the right passes and break teams down.If we pass the ball too quick then we'll end up giving it away cheaply more often than not.

When playing possession football though, the ball has be moved about slowly and carefully the vast majority of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I imagine well score a good few goals over the next couple games since theyre away games where we tend to perform better.The past few games have been tough but thats because teams are sitting back. Once the league progresses teams will be forced to have a go and well turn them over Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
