Always going to be tough physically playing without the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,776 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Tbf Holt has never been the fittest player and Barjonas adrenaline took him till he came off. Other than that I’d say were as fit as anyone else. Tav, John and McCrorie are basically footballing athletes, they could run all day. The others I’d say are as fit as any other team. Windass looks as fit as he’s ever been at Rangers, Wilsons fine, Morelos runs himself into the ground and I don’t recall Candeias ever blowing out his arse Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 1,480 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 No. Just that every game against Rangers is our opponent’s cup final. They find a yard that they wouldn’t normally when it comes to playing us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Nope. Our fitness is fine as long as the passes are good and we don't have to do needless chasing all over the park, which is what we did a lot of tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am not having a go at him lol. I think he struggles big time after the 70th minute mark and for about a year he never played a full 90 either. I like Jason Holt he contributes everything bar goals but he definitely isn’t the fittest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchammer 245 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Alves in first half looked very slow. Morelos, very slow. They maybe fit, but so slow. At least Alves can jump and header a ball. Can't fault the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewaj3 1,446 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Holt may tire but that's only because for the first 70 mins he is running about morr than any other player on that park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all they gave us a chasing last night, we usually managed to plug the gaps. I know we got a bit of luck, but still had it in us to do the right thing twice, when the chances arose, along with 2/3 other breaks which could have panned out better. Having watched them on Sunday, I was wondering how we’d cope, but I thought we gave them less time & space than the beggars did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 54,105 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I don't think we look as fit as we ought to. But as others have said, if we'd kept better possession and let hivs do the chasing then it wouldn't be an issue. Our distribution and passing at times last night was as poor as it's been this season. Just as well we've found our grit and determination recently, that more than made up for the fitness issue.

Might be a good idea to get one of those bandages in your avatar for that knock on the head you took. Best of luck with the recovery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,776 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I’m not saying his work rate is bad or he doesn’t have energy I’m saying he is usually struggling with the last 15 minutes of a game but his desire pulls him through usually. I genuinely felt he was struggling for a bit last night Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
