Prso's headband 36,764 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I think we'll take 13 from those 5 games. The absolute most important ones are Wednesday and Saturday. Whilst the tarriers play County and the sheep away. If we can't get maximum points from those two and tims drop points then it really does show this group of players and management don't have the mentality to take us forward Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we should NEVER easily accept mediocrity but I think second this season will be acceptable given where we currently are. Fundamentally disagree. They didn't "panic". They took action that's all. They knew the honeymoon was over now that we were coming back to the top table and their Norwegian experiment had failed miserably. By contrast our board have yet to take that kind of proactive decision and until they do we will struggle to get even 2nd prize this season.

And that's me being generous. Hope not , even after yesterday , getting all points from five games is definitely doable ,Fans are owed it from the team , manager should be telling all the players that they are all playing for their career at Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Move the ball at pace into the final third and get shots on target. If we can do that we will win games even if the defence has a brain fart or two. If keep to the tippy tappy going nowhere pish but it's ok because we have possession then we will continue to drop points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Scottish Premiership Rangers v St Johnstone - Wed 26 Oct Rangers v Kilmarnock - Sat 29 Oct Ross County v Rangers - Sun 6 Nov Rangers v Dundee Sat 19 Nov Partick Thistle v Rangers - Sat 26 Nov Hearts v Rangers - Wed 30 Nov Rangers v Aberdeen - Sat 3 Dec Rangers v Hearts - Sat 10 Dec So for me then, the goal is to simply take more than [edit: or at least no less than] St. Johnstone, Hearts and Aberdeen take from their next 5 games. Get our act together during those next 5 games, then it's all to play for in the next three (as far as the halfway point is concerned! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGOH 2,344 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Warburton needs to realise that more possession does not win football matches. If winning means going more direct, then so be it, but until we change our style we will go nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't seem to have the players with the confidence to have a pop at goal and instead look for the easy pass. Niko could have been key yesterday to pick runners and have a bit if composure on the ball but it wasn't to be. A game last season i always remember was at cappielow against morton and we huffed and puffed and kept possession at the edge of their box, i am screaming for someone to have a dig and eventually someone did, the ball bounced off a defender and landed at Kennys feet, 0-1.

It's called investing. You speculate to accumulate. Someone needs to show our board how you go about that. As for "skinning" wages I can think of a few around Ibrox at the moment who could fall into that category. You gets what you pays for in this world. Someday soon - starting with the January window - the so called money men at our club need to be putting out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stood yesterday watching Holt Hobson and Tav play triangles on the half way line, going absolutely fucking nowhere. While the mhanks all got back behind the ball, they then proceeded to fall over the ball and give it away. The worst is some around me clapped this pish. The amount of times yesterday when a quick pass could've got us in and the player fanny's about again and again before he finally plays the pass and it's either too late or more usually doesn't go to his own team. ?????

The wee triangles of play are fine if you are retaining possession either in the lead or looking to create a goalscoring opportunity. Sadly the one time wee Holt had the chance to deliver something decent he blazed at it when it was screaming to be pulled back to the edge of the 6 yard box.

Big Al 55 9,508 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Don't see it that way at all...we need to finish second. I don't really care about arbitrary "must haves" or "must win" games. Finish second, stop the treble and beat them at least twice would be lovely. Find a sustainable way to fund the club going forward and get the investment in to allow us to challenge next season. Whether that's with MW in charge or not remains to be seen. He must IMO get until the end of the season though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Think I'll just be happy taking it one game at a time now lads. Fuck this forecasting pish, we don't have the players to plan for it plus we get injuries just by walking to the training field it seems. deal with st Johnstone (although I can't see us winning) then move on to killie with the lightning quick kris boyd.
