VladimirWeiss69 802 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Well at least that's the reality check we needed, hopefully that will push the boat for Warburton and the board to go out and bring in a quality striker/defender before the next game delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Load of pish, long balls and totally inept defence and midfield. Struggling to take any positive out of that today, looked like a Championship team today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it matters if teams know how we will play if we play much better than we did today. When we were on our game last season it didn't matter that the other team knew what we were going to do, we were unplayable at times. The work starts now for Warburton and Weir to get the players to realise what is required of the players but we do need to see the 2 key positions sorted out (especially if Waggy is out for a while) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Personally I would have had the younger, fitter players start the season with an experienced head in there to direct them. The older players are not up to fitness standard yet and should attain that through the magical 60min substitution and through training. Does that not make sense? We are hardly playing against tough opposition at the start of this season. Blinkyman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottyarf37 963 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Sorry But Miller needs to move to a coaching role and only used if we are really struggling for bodies. We also need to hit more from outside the box, play the ball earlier. The possession is great but wee commit to many forward when we are just knocking the ball in front of the oppositions defence. Lets them break far to easily. I really want Striker that can bring others into the game and head a ball. Think it would work really well in the current system. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 No easy games. I think that was one of the sound bites from MW earlier this week. Thing is - we all know that. Nothing has changed for Rangers in that respect. Knowing it is one thing.......the real trick to top class management is knowing what to do to deal with it and win. Losing 2 points at home is not good enough for Rangers - no amount of statements about learning or about analysing the game or about being happy with the quality of the squad will cut muster here. Yes there is a long way to go but everyone knows that we are entirely predictable in the approach to the game, very vulnerable to counter-attack and set pieces, don't defend well enough, a CF (Miller) that is well past his best and is not really a terror to defences and a lack of sufficient ability to convert chances into goals. Result - a team more likely to draw than to win albeit having had a lot of possession. If MW cannot see that the team does not carry sufficient goal scoring threat and can play to deal with the pressures of performance that come from playing for Rangers then his judgement will be called into more question quicker than he may think. I think the Support is super-hungry for 55. Understandable given the shit we've had to put up with for the last 4 years. Its not just a 'project'. Its not just about learning. Its not just about analysing games. Its not just about making plan A work betters. Its about winning and if that mentality is not strong enough and does not feed through into performances then this is going to be a uncomfortable season. More uncomfortable for MW as he must realise that the hurt brought upon the Club over the last 4 years produces a need for quick success and drawing 1-1 at home against Hamilton is not success. Far from it. If DK and the Board are serious about success and not just about selling STs on the bandwagon of last season then much more serious investment in key player positions - CB and CF - is urgently needed. If however they are content to wait and see if MW's magic can be woven over the course of the season on the basis of the current squad ie see if success can be delivered as cheaply as possible without committing any of the fabled £30m then apart from MW having an interesting season, DK and the Board may come in for some seriously increased scrutiny as to their ambitions as the season progresses. delparlane, eejay the dj and KingKaiJohansen 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in all honesty this should have been sorted waaaay before now, the places we need the most quality i.e strikers/defenders. That should have been sorted much quicker than the midfield. We now have lost our top goalscorer, which could come back to bite us in the ass if we don't get a quality one in soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_Ibrox_Preacher 2,812 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think it's easy to pick 3 or 4 players who just clearly weren't sharp enough, we played in the same gear as we did in preseason and the latter half of last season. Obviously disappointing but it means that doesn't we need to get O.T.T. about what the result itself "means". Work obviously has to be done to get us up to speed, fitness, sharpness and personnel changes going into the next game. Kranjcar and Miller both look like they are weeks behind others and while game time is a remedy to that you could say equally that the alternatives to them should get to start in the next game while they get themselves up to speed with training and subs appearances. There's every possibility that both of them and Kranjcar, in particular, may just continue with not being 100% and will have to be cameos off the bench for this season. I think it's only fair though that we remember it's early days and a lot can happen in a short space of time in football. Terrible to see Waghorn's situation unfold, if it's as bad as it looked we'll have to turn to the other players to step up and show why they are at the club. Hill didn't look to me as though he was as out of his depth as he looked in preseason. O'Halloran and Forester did themselves credit today. Barton looks as though he will be that huge presence in midfield we simply haven't had for years i.e there are positives in the sea of shit that we're sailing through today. Got to up it big time but there are plenty of reasons to know that shouldn't be beyond us. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's potential in the team and the way we play but we need the two missing pieces and every man in the starting 11 needs to have much more urgency and drive. Was it missing today because its pre-season or a lack of understanding of what is required to be at the club? How we took them apart in the semi final was just one game. 11 v 11. It was our day and what a fucking day it was! Today is just a continuation of every game after that. No heart, no fight and most of all, no plan B. How are we supposed to make teams rethink their plan, if they know ours will never change? We're making it easy for them by being predictable and ever increasingly boring. We need to be making the opposition second guess us and it just isn't happening. I can't see it happening either. It's a case of let's go out there and hope we win. I can't buy into that shite tbh!
