Popular Post Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted January 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2019 The fact that the team could not - or would not - respond by re-establishing a grip on the game and pressing on to score more goals to make Worrall's mistake less prominent is just as worrying as Worrall making the mistake. Out of all that experience on the pitch - including players with previous experience of knowing the importance of these games to Rangers - to see a lack of positive and effective response should be a matter of much higher concern than Worrall. As Gerrard acknowledged even after half time - when Gerrard had had the opportunity to get to grips with the team - there was no improvement. It was pish and I'm supposing that Gerrard would have told the players (again) in 'spade is a spade' terms. Too many players - well nigh all of them - just gave up any notion of trying to raise their game to rescue a win or a point. They just downed tools and accepted the game was beyond them. If - and its still an 'if' - we get through to the next round of the Cup and go to Kilmarnock again I don't see us winning with the sort of attitude shown by the team - and by very experienced players - last night. That Gerrard could not galvanise the team at half time should also be causing him to think about what he needs to do to motivate the players in that sort of circumstance. The collapse in confidence after Kilmarnock equalised is shocking for a Rangers side. The dearth of good quality on-field leadership is also shocking. The inability of the team to respond after half time, and of Gerrard to generate an effective response is also shocking. They have another difficult challenge facing them on Sunday. Which team do we get? The one which did so very well in the OF game or the losers of last night?

Negri's lovechild 14,129 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Somebody said it on the match thread last night, but those were Kiernan levels of defending from him. We really can't afford any of those kinds of errors or lapses in concentration. he shouldn't be in the line up at the weekend but probably will, so he has the chance to "attone" for his error.

Just googled kiernan there to see what level he's playing at. He's played 1 match since leaving us according to Wikipedia.

bluenoz 30,918 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 We hadn't lost a game in our first 10 and I don't believe we even trailed at any point during that stretch. Introduce Joe Worrall and things have never been the same. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this. Bristol loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
