K.A.I 36,183 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I like the pressing and first to the second ball approach - obviously can’t maintain that tempo for 90 minutes hence it was majority of first half and spells of second half. Delighted to see Cummings get off the mark and I thought Murphy at times was unplayable. its another week and another week of Murty laying his marker on the team I think we will get better as we go along. Games like today I seen the odd game like that under Warburton and Pedro but I think Murty’s still will be a more consistent way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,222 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 One thing that’s obvious is we’re playing so many more through balls. That seems like such a minor, almost trivial, aspect of the game but we’re getting in behind teams a lot more often now. That’s been a problem all season.

Davy Vandenbroucke 26,200 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nah I'm not having it, we didn't win by at least 4 goals so I'm pure raging tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 First half excellent but work rate dropped second half,I would only add to @K.A.I post that I still think we lack a leader on the park when we're under the cosh just to lift us and turn the game back in our favour.

G.E.C. 18,817 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'd say under Murty we are more pleasing in the eye to watch compared to Pedro and Warburton (based on Premiership only). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,817 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Regarding the leader I'd say Holt and Tav play out their skins every week, just don't think they have the vocal skills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Deacon 55,433 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 We're still hitting the final 3rd of matches then getting tired / coming under consistent pressure. Great when we ride it out and get the win but uncomfortable to watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp9 753 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Unlike under warbuton or Pedro you can really see where this team could go. Was never in favour of Murty, but if can keep grinding out results then the jobs his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games like today I seen the odd game like that under Warburton and Pedro but I think Murty’s still will be a more consistent way. Pressing has made a big difference. Agree with everything you said. Only critisism is we don't create enough chances in the final 3rd which i think is down to Windass being quiet. A good no.10 wpuld make us unplayable. We have struggled this season against team who sit in but today we played the full first half in their half and looks lile Murty is cracking it.

james_85 656 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Need to be more clinical but the style of play is good to watch. Also packing it in when we think the game is won need to play for 90 mins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aye_Ready 12 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Think we are starting to see Murty stamping his style of play on the squad Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Actually shaping into a decent team again for the first time in many years. Defence looks to be a big improvement now though need more clean sheets to really kick on. Attack has options and a few who can score though I reckon a creative midfield is needed to make an impact. With everyone fit I trust murty could field a team able to challenge. He really is shaping up to be a far better manager than the last few clowns imo though that doesnt say much obv.

We Will Follow Rangers 12,942 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I expected to win today, I expected us to beat the sheep, I've not felt 100% confidant about us beating anyone in years. think we can only get better. Think thats only the second time we've beat ross county in the last 7 games v them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandhi1872 186 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Still feel we need to be more ruthless. You could see from the first half they were miles better than Ross County and if they wanted it, it could’ve been 3 or 4. We get to the second half and we’ve fallen off the pace, some of them are walking about and it’s like they’re happy for the game just to pass by. So frustrating as there’s signs of a really good team here and with a bit of concentrated effort and quality in the final third, they could hammer some of these teams and kill games off early.
