I'm really surprised that a good goalie wasn't made a major priority in the summer instead of the waste of space primadonna midfielders. Midfield was our strongest position and Warburton managed to weaken it with additions. A decent goalie would organise the defence better too.

The way some of the other posters have praised Gilks seems a bit over the top. Rangers fans are used to Goram, Klos, Woods and McGregor and not the likes of Gilks and Foderingham. Neither of the two of them are fit for our reserves normally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe horrendous was an overstatement but that kick out would have been awful if it had been a Greenock vs Port Glasgow junior game never mind an Old Firm match. His actual saves did make a difference to the result but was terrified every time the ball came back to him but Foderingham is similar at times. Goram used to be great with the ball at his feet in comparison but I'm probably being unrealistic in hoping for a world class goalie when we're shopping in Aldi rather than Waitrose. I think someone my age (I'm 36 and can barely remember anything prior to signing half the England team under Souness and then on from that, with very fuzzy memories of us being dreadful under Jock Wallace second time around) would find it hard to take anything other than waves of frequent success with only a handful of one or two year breaks in this. I didn't live in the days where we had prolonged periods of abject failure and Rangers domination, on and off the park was the only thing I'd ever really seen. I'm just praying that the club can get back to what I remember as normality, with a superior team, a strong corporate identity and structure and hopefully we can get the merchandise side sorted out and get a winning team on the field. I guess most of you are right that Gilks showed bravery and determination but I've been used to seeing the best protecting our goal and having someone try their best but not at the level of a top star can be frustrating.

left winger 14,260 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 One shocking bit of control, aside, he had a great game. I reckon Wes will be back in, but he must know any drop in his form and he's on the bench. Good position to be in for the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bam74 987 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He was our MOTM by a mile. Only blip was that pass back in 1st half but we all knew he was suspect with his feet so why did Holt put him under pressure ? Noticed we never did it again after that.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hodson, Hill, Kiernan and Gilks were outstanding And its a fucking disgrace that they had to play the performance of their careers!

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He should have the No1 jersery for a while and keep Foderingham on his toes.  Maybe a bit of role reversal with Foderingham getting the Scottish Cup games. Aside from Hill its a great pity that none of the other players or subs who came on could muster the same sort of performance in a big game.  Perhaps more to the point its a pity Warburton was not able to convert his pre-match rhetoric about preparing well, training well, 2 serious discussions among the squad about what was required, and ideals of playing at the right levels of intensity and at levels required at Rangers.   Sure the players let themselves down.  But imo the manager is not a motivator to get them to these sorts of aspirational levels.  2 players got there and the rest didn't.  That, imo, is just as much a managerial failure as it is individual player failure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd09 390 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Thought gilks was outstanding today , looks a better shot stopper for me , big wes will be back in goal on Wednesday though , don't think gilks will play again until the cup in January Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisrfc93 470 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Outstanding performance today. Saved us from a hiding! His players in front of him tried their best to make him look a fanny right enough, they 2 back passes were shocking! No way should gilks have had to deal with pish like that. Anyway good solid performance and one of not many positives from todays game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
