BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Poor in stages, okay in others. Good base is there, only our second game this preseason and we're rusty. Nothing im concerned with, still think we'll win by two this half long season ahead, and with Barton, Rossiter, Windass and crooks all to come on as well as a striker, we're looking good. Get the finger out this second half though and we're laughing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konovolov 135 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Not all doom and gloom. Couple of mistakes at the back, but got into a couple of good positions ourselves. Can't understand the Barrie love, thought he was one of our quietest players along with Holt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get the most simple pass right either most of the time. Sometimes there's certain players who get stick no matter how well they're playing. Ricky Foster used to get singled out all the time even if there were poorer performers on the park. I'm not a massive fan of Wilson but today isn't his worst performance in a Rangers jersey by a long stretch. I also don't think he's gave the ball away as much as you think either. In fact he's one of the very few to get pass marks for the first half along side Miller and McKay. Anyway we were drawing at half time in the opening game of last season and we all know how that game finished. Finger out time. Hopefully see some of the new boys in the second half. Looking forward to seeing Windass and Krankjaer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the brown brogue 1,961 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Oh well looks like we're carrying on where we left off last season. Hopefully all the new signings will be ready to step in as the majority of our starting 11 today are no better than squad players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDMYGALLOWS1986 413 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Very poor performance so far, Tavs positional sense is non existent and he constantly leaves others around him exposed, he is not a defender. Wilson and keirnan are both as slow as a wank in the bath and better teams would have scored the chances Motherwell have had today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,107 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 As shit and laughable as this new format is I can't agree with using the tournament as a pre season. wee had an extra couple of weeks at the end of last season. same old the 2 centre back are being badly exposed by Waldo and tav trying to win the ball high up the pitch and are offerd no help at all from our defensively clueless midfield the one thing I can say is the addition made to the squad are quite obviously to tackle my above points so hopefully it adressed the issues.

No team will finish every chance they get in July, the match sharpness and clinical finishing comes as the team plays more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 not happy about this at all really, it's like we've just started as we did last year, i see no lessons learned or improvement thankfully, this is preseason with plenty of time to sort this out, however, this wasn't sorted out when it could have been last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCRobertson 11,794 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 More of the same from last year. Opposition sitting 11 men behind the ball trying to get us on the break Defence getting left by themselves Forwards passing the ball about and taking occasional shots.

West_Side 1,571 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Decent going forward, atrocious defensively. Really hoping that Halliday isn't playing defensive mid regularly this season. Kiernan and Wilson both looking worrying as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VladimirWeiss69 948 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Honestly if this is the defence for this season, we will be lucky to get 4th. Luckily it wont be but Tav is a shocking defender so are Kiernan and Wilson, all three need replaced tbh. They have been carving us open time and time again! Will calm down after the game, although I am a bit annoyed at how the defence is leaving us in all sorts of trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waggy1872 457 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Remember it's the exact same team as last season! We knew we needed to improve for the step up and we have done just unfortunate they're not all ready to start, and hopefully this shows Warburton how badly we need a decent defender Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 26,508 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 what I have taken from the first half. 1. The only danger in games comes from our own sloppy play. 2. We might be in a better league but teams are looking to counter us Rather than make it a game and taking us on. 3. This style will comfortably work up the higher league. I believe regardless of the result this game will be beneficial for Warburton and the troops we know no what the majority will be doing this season. Its now up to the management to make us less open to the counter attack Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
