RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 1. We'd have lost or drawn that last season. 3 points in the bag and we move on to the next game. 2. First game of the season and we played some nice football. We have lots of new players and there's signs they are gelling 3. Fabio Cardoso. Superb. Won us the penalty, strong and solid throughout. 4. Dorrans is the best midfielder we've had since Davis. 5. Windass has rediscovered what a football is. Faded a little in the second half but a MUCH better performance from him It's always a little nervy at the end when there's only a goal in it but we should have been ahead earlier (and Moult should never ever have still been on the pitch). With experience, our game management will also improve - Tav having a shot on goal in the 92nd min from a FK? Stupid. Candeias down the right? Poor. Windass up the left? Silly again. Get it down the corner, get up the pitch, dominate the ball (Warbiola cliche but this one is required in these situations). Fans again - excellent. Onwards and upwards Bears. Happy Sunday.

See TBH mate I never once felt like we were going to concede a second. I think we seem a bit more comfortable at the back row. We want teams to launch it into our box as they two will deal with that everyday Of The week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be a little more commanding when coming to get crosses. If he was, their goal would have been avoided for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,141 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Dorrans was class, Alves won every ball and in 1st half Windass was excellent. The same flaws we've had in past few years are still evident. Going 5-4-1 wi 15 mind to go was embarrassing, tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was more nervy about corners all the corners it defo did mate. But it's a goal that teams for aldershot to ATL Madrid concede. As an ex keeper you're always waiting on the contact so if you come for it goes over you and you look daft, if you stay and the guy gets a Nick then it's a goal. It's a tough one, stay or go for it lol. It's the same goal we've conceded twice though. Away to progress with nobody getting a touch, then today with guy getting a touch.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,010 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 We had them on the ropes 1st half then lost the plot, I'm happy with 3 points but it took a penalty to clinch it, if we really want to challenge we need to be much much better, we rode our luck at the end.

TMB 14,167 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Alves and Cadoso in front of Foderingham makes us much more solid defensively. Jack and Dorrans gives us a lot more dig in midfield. We'll concede a lot less goals this season. That's the biggest positive for me. However, we still lack quality going forward. We need one or two more quality players who will help us score goals. If we don't get them I can see us hanging on at the end or dropping points against teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCRobertson 11,705 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 1, 3, 2, 3, 4, 5? But yeah totally agree. More positives than negatives easily and looked compatent in midfield and defence. Shaky moments bit we were massively unlucky no to be leading 4 goals to 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,461 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Good start. Last season we don't win that match. We have a group of men now that will take pride in defending our goal. Said in the match thread we just need to manage the game better. When the confidence is up am sure it will come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 agreed. We need to learn to put games to bed though. Miller scores that sitter and we are on easy street, or windass puts one of his in rather than hitting the post. Teams will look at the Motherwell chances and start throwing the ball into our box now and we have to be prepared to defend that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
