**Official Rangers v Fraserburgh Match Thread**

Bates passing was embarrassing 

hodson is shite

halliday was anonymous

herrera is not a footballer

cummings didn't look interested

good points: windass,cardoso,holt

 

[DrLaudrup 4,593]

The only positive to take from tonight was the night and day difference in Windass' attitude compared to when he first joined us. Tonight was an opportunity for some players to really put a shift in and try to convince Murty they are worth a berth but none of them took it.

[writingranger 1,413]

That was like going down to my local field and watching a bunch of guys that've just come out of the pub hoofing the ball around.

[Loyaleastend 3,260]

What a shit game, still, job done, but fucking hell, Halliday? wtf

You guys miss the point entirely.  We can't play the way we do at Ibrox on a park like that against part-time opposition.  We learned this lesson the hard way during the "banter years".

Thought big Bates strolled it.   

Apart from when he was spraying stray passes around

Niko was like a local homeless guy who "could've been a player" if it wasn't for his crack cocaine and alcohol addiction.... cunts a bag of washing these days.....

Bates, Halliday and Hodson didn't look out of place in Highland League surroundings. 

[KeyserSoze 14,531]

Cummings first touch is needing some work. 

Hodson is not very good 

Kranjcar is sweet

Cardoso is very decent 

we were playing in a funny wee town

What's the thoughts after tonights game?

Bates is an old fashioned centre half.  Cardoso is a modern ball playing defender.  A partnership there?   Possibly.

 

Please no...

I was gonna post during the game that it looked like we missed Wilson there. Cardoso made a few errors from what I could see... but so did several of our players.

I think McCrorie will be slotted in there with Bates.

[Grundy 731]

Sorry Ivybank, thought Bates tried to keep it simple, put through some decent through balls and messed up a couple of times but I see progress there.  I accept he can still look like Bambi om ice but looks to be improving.

[miracle 7,790]

It's been that long since we've seen Kranjcar he's now got a beard..

[Sinkyrfc88 16]

one of those games that’s impossible to look good in. A win and through to the next round that’s all that matters. Thought Cardoso looked decent bringing the ball out from defence would like to see him given another run in the team. 3 great finishes from windass.  Hodson and Halliday should have their contracts ripped up and left up there absymal players

[hugonot 50]

Boyd speaking highly of Niko it have to agree with his assessment

Fuck sake Halliday. 

I’d be making him walk up the road. 

Down the road......

His distribution is not his strong point but I didn’t think he was that bad tonight.  Defensively don’t think he was greatly troubled and that’s what he is in the team for.

No I think he means north towards Wick.

[gersandy 594]

Kranjcar is done, Halliday is pish, Hodson isn’t very good. 

On a very poor pitch, it was job done though.

[A.T.G 10,773]

Krancjar must never start another game.

Hes fucking woeful. For every clever pass he made he gave it away 10 times.

Pathetic

Basically a second string side out and cruised it. It's only a couple of years ago we'd have struggled with the first team there :) 

In another way it's great to be a bit more demanding again. Said since the start of the season we have a much stronger squad now, after the last few weeks of signings we need to let a few others leave.

[Jakes Pal 5,574]

I cannot believe that the significance of tonight's result has been missed. The curse of winning three games in a row has now, most certainly been exorcised. 

[Drum 160]

There is surely no way NK will play professionally after he leaves us this summer?

But what stylish washing. He did last for the whole match though. Be thankful for small mercies. Hodson is absolutely awful, we absolutely need cover for Tav. i know he hasn't been playing and so can't build up the same level of understanding with Candeias, but he is poor and made candieas look poor by never being there to give or receive a pass.

Bates was awright 

Passing was atrocious, Cardoso was the superior centre half of the two tonught

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

Cummings looked far too isolated. Did we really need 5 midfielders on the park tonight? Should've started 2 up front.
