Yeah the way we have started games isn't great. We badly need either Jack or Arfield back in as soon as possible because what we have is struggling at the minute. Hopefully they got a boot up the arse today and we have a reaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already said I'd have preferred to have drew against the tarriers on the 2nd if it meant we had been in the semis of the LC. Not one person on here has ever demanded we win all 38 games of a league campaign, so glad we've cleared that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam69 26,863 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 We're missing a bit of dig in the middle due to Jack and Arfield out. Also missing the creativity of Roofe, especially in games like that. That said, we've dropped points before this season, matched on. We've even been beat, and marched on. Ross County will be a 2 or 3 nil. Yes, i seen their scoreline against the sheep, but we're not the sheep. Would like to have 2 of those 3 players back for Hibs, but whatever. Sometimes a game and result like today can bring a dose of reality to a team. Not concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to win at the weekend though and be at it for the whole game. I also think that’s been coming for a while tbh. We’ve done well to get full points from every game since probably the Dundee Utd game, but it’s one less game to play while keeping the lead as it was. Vital that we bounce back next weekend though and I think we will. On paper Ross County at home is just about as much of a banker as you can get and John Hughes isn’t usually the sort of manager who will sit with everybody behind the ball either.

murzo 7,446 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Gerrard after the Aberdeen game said something along the lines of he wasn’t happy with the way we overplayed it. The management team know we’re not playing great and will be working away to sort any faults we have. Our performances will improve again as the management team work on it in training.

Hughes might not be that manager against shite, but when he sees that sitting in deep causes us problems he'll likely adopt it, and his players will likely adopt it even sub consciously Make no mistake the county game could be brutal unless we get our act together, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 We were always due to drop points and fwiw I still don’t think we’ll go the full season unbeaten. We’ve actually done really well to come through this period with some big injuries - Arfield, Jack and Roofe are all in the 11 never mind the squad. Another point to remember is that your man Graham Alexander is actually a decent manager, they’ve done well to get him. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re back pushing to finish third next season under him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,394 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Just need to keep going one game at a time. We've largely been great this year with a few poor performances slipping in over the past month or so which I put down to a lack of options in midfield with Jack and Arfield missing. We just need to get back to doing the basics well, stop over playing it and the goals will come. 1 game at a time. Take the point, move onto the next game, get back to winning and put that draw behind us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well apart from a thread about Kent today being the worst performance ever by any Rangers player 😂 At least there's been no calls for managers to be sacked, whole squad to be sold, and universally called out as being bottlers. Early days yet I suppose 😂 It has been particularly calm .Popped into the match thread at half time to see the carnage .Was really surprised .Maybe like me most were still pished from last night and it hadn’t sunk in we were losing . Proves what I’ve thought for a while ,The pressure of winning the league is really getting to folk .There’s a decent cushion just now so we can expect a bit more realism from fans .We never like losing ,and of course we shouldn’t .But some of the reactions lately have been ridiculous .Today was more normal and back to the good old days when we hated losing but could handle it a bit better .
