How we react to this is far more important than actually losing the match. The run up to, and including, the 2nd January now looks a lot more difficult. This is where the players will truly define themselves. Exactly this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I think we will pump Motherwell but it is the St Johnstone game I'm more worried about after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Watching that team last night was like the side from the first half of this calendar year. Very worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,438 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I think we all need to remember that this is probably only the second game out of nearly 30 that we haven’t played well in and out only loss of the season. Some players could be doing more, but you’ll get peaks and troughs from players throughout the season. It was a disaster of a result, but the big test is how we now deal with the upcoming 6 or 7 difficult games. Need to show we aren’t going to choke.

Angus1965 366 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Massive massive League games coming up , and a hellish run of fixtures from here till end of January , win or win most of them will ramp up the pressure on the Bheasts , lets remember , they are gash , and only 1 bad result from another pish stained bedsheet protest .

I seriously think it could be a perfectly timed boot up the arse to kick on in the league. Re your last sentence, it’s got to be, mate. If this team blow the league from where they are now, it’s totally unforgivable. Motherwell is a must-win which could propel us on. Anything less though, and their mentality has clearly crumbled. And if that happens after one cup defeat, shame on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger4life_1872 29,454 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Said it since the start of the season that it was gonna be a long fight with ups and downs and it was important we didn't get too high or too low on the back of individual games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,281 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 We were always going to have setbacks this season. Last night was as brutal as it gets. Another cup lost and we showed the issues that has cost us last 2 seasons As other's said it's how we respond now starting Saturday. We need to come out and put Motherwell away. Take it one game at a time and hopefully show last night was just one bad game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply don't trust Gerrard or the team to overcome this. Every time they feel a bit of pressure they absolutely bottle it and the happy clappers telling us this season is different are in for another shock. Your application of "a bit of pressure" seems to be entirely selective and only apply when Rangers lose a game, there have been numerous pressure situations already this season when no form of bottling it has taken place...

I'm going to predict that we will drop points between now and the end of January, and the thing is we CAN afford to unless they go on an amazing unbeaten run and beat us at Ibrox. Next four games and the OF are key, and hopefully this is the wake up call and rocket that SG and this team needed. I just hope the players don't go into their shells and have learned something from last years collapse. We'll learn a lot about this team in the next month.

If all this fucked off tomorrow there is no danger Ibrox is 1/4 full the next home game because people are sat in the house thinking we need to be playing in an empty stadium to win the league.

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 We were shite but they pretty much scored every chance that they had and we gave them goals. The mentality was way off but 9 times out of 10 we still win that game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
