Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 When a new manager takes over a team that was leaking as many goals as we were, it's vital to sort the defence out first and work forward from there. Although Wes has saved our bacon a number of times, 1 goal conceded in Pedro's first 4 games shows our defence is improving. Even more impressive given the injury problems we've had in the last week. A few additions to the defence in the summer and hopefully we'll be watertight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,521 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 After MW who barely have gave defending a second thought, it was always likely to be better with a new man in charge. Whats impressive is that he's done it with 2 very inexperienced players, and Wilson and Tav who've been heavily criticised this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 To think that goal we conceded could've easily been prevented too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,643 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 We'd have lost that today under the 3 snakes. I firmly believe that once Aberdeen took control our manager then decided that we'd hit on the break. you can see the work gone into that defensive shape in 4weeks today wasn't luck onwards and upwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 As far as I'm concerned, next season is Wallace's last chance to prove he's good enough for Rangers at this level. Wilson and Hill should be kept as 3rd and 4th choice respectively while Tavernier and Hodson should be punted for as much as we can get.

The "it's about what we do" pish from Warburton just showed how arrogant he was and how much he underestimated the league. We currently don't have the players to dominate every game. You have to adapt now and again and I'm glad we finally have a manager that realises that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with most of this except the bottom part regarding keeping Wilson and Hill. All of them need to go as they're not good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably is realistic but if it were down to me I'd punt the lot of them including Wallace. The team with the best defence wins the league,typically anyway.
