16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I don't think it has anything to do with closed doors, he has matured and has a great team behind him now which was lacking in previous seasons. It has taken him a while to grow, but he has done it. Same with SG. His 3 year plan has came to fruition and we as fans are now reaping the benefits....long may this continue.

I'm not aware of any 3 year plan Gerrard had. He signed his initial 4 year deal in summer of 2018, I'd have thought he expected to get 4 years to succeed. Its us the fans who have boxed it into 3 years as this is the potential scum 10iar year. Though obviously some wanted Gerrard gone much earlier in his tenure. As you say,long may it continue with many successes delivered. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,708 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Well taken goal tonight, great technique, and another solid display. Did I pick up right from the comms team that he is on course to break his own record of most goals by a Rangers defender in one season? Currently 15 and on 14 now I think? Remarkable if true.

Of course closed doors has helped him, its likely helped a fair few players, they'll always be pressure but having that pressure mere yards away in the stands is different, Not having fans literally breathing down your neck is a help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main difference for us this season imo. Fans egging you on and rocking the stadium helps too. I don't think we would have lost 2 goals on Thursday if our fans were there. Every team is in the same boat and players are under different pressures now. Tavs and the team will have a very limited social life due to the restrictions. If anything I think that has helped our team bond more. Tavs is peaking now, I don't care if anyone thinks it's because of lack of fans. When was the last time a right back was top goal scorer in the league in (soon to be) December? If anyone devesrves to lead us to 55 it is Tavs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly is! Will you be calling this the Covid title when we win it? So negative Jim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its not negative, its cooling my emotions given what we've watched this team do twice in the last two seasons pot xmas If memory serves me right, this point last season we had dropped one point more in the league and that was due to an OF loss, if we had a team that had regular cup or league winners, guys who know how to see competitions out, id be a helluva lot more vocal about gloating and stuff, but aside from shagger and davis we don't have many past winners in the team, and until they do that fear will always be on my mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
