Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Now he has more resources at his disposal today is a really big test of his managerial ability Ive still got nagging doubts about his ability to change the course of a game but today will give us a better idea of where we are and what type of manager he is.

Cobham 1,569 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 He’s stood up to every big test so far and I hope today is no different. His downfall has been motivating the team v smaller opposition. He does seem to take an age to make a substitution however maybe he’s been looking at the bench and realised there is no one that could change the game for the better, maybe now the bench is stronger he’ll make changes earlier where needed.

Smile 26,622 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I just don't rate Murty, The Board obviously feel the same as they brought in Jimmy Nicholl to oversee him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this that worries me. The amount of times he has delayed his subs and ended up reacting to the opposition substitutions instead of taking the initiative is a bit concerning Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears r us 31,000 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 It certainly is another test CD and three points today is required to keep second place. I think he is getting through to the players and they probably want to play for him which is always important, I just have no idea yet if he will be the man for the job after this season. His reluctance to put on substitutes is a concern but I like him and hope he can succeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,292 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Beat aberdeen 3 times and drew with celtic twice. He has proved he can cope in big games already. He will only improve. Back him now and make an overall judgement once the season ends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanger 625 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 It's going to be a tough one today and another test for Murty. I predict a win by a clear goal but as I said it is going to be tough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryju84 3,170 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The substitute issue is a small one... but been a concern for years. Didnt Walter and Ally always hold off until the 85th minute? Warburton made refreshing changes on 60 minutes... but never changed tactics. Pedro made a few changes with subs at varied times... but messed up elsewhere.

duffy2391 574 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think we’ll outplay them and I hope that when Cummings is brought on, it’s in place of Windass. Keep the pressure on them right to the death. Hopefully Morelos bags 1 early on. Hibs often open up and I think that will play right into Goss’ strengths. If the forward 3 in midfield stay sharp and keep looking for space then we’ll win it convincingly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Agreed, let's just hope popcorn teeth is greetin at the end of the day. Please please please, can we win well but with the addition of dodgy decisions and penalties - would make my day. ...always do the gay little skip before you kick a bunch of water bottles.

devref 201 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 a big test but so far murty has stood up ok in these games. would love to see nicholl getting in lemmons face from the start to noise him up and lose the plot fucking up his game plan.

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Whether or not you rate Murty, he is our manager and will be for the rest of the season (unless he really fucks up) so let's get behind him and the team. EVERY game is a big test for any Rangers' manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,568 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Can't see us getting beat at all. It's in front of goal and burying the chances we get. Morelos and Cummins need the shooting boots on. Get Tav and Candias weighing in and we're pretty solid down both wings and can create plenty. Too strong for them. Confident we take all three points, unless we get three sent off and two penalties against us. The lemmon always makes for a good source of amusement, particularly when humped. I'm going to enjoy this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t agree re Nicholl they brought him in to help him not oversee him although perhaps it’s no coincidence the poor results have stopped with Nichols influence Murty is doing well in my eyes (and I’m apparently difficult to please) his big game record is better than Smith’s (ratio wise not numbers wise) the only thing I don’t want is if we do get beat today the daggers are our for him and all the good work undermined - stick with him were on the right track imo next season we will be legit challengers and that’s the first I’ve actually thought that since Smith’s last season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
