Totally forgot it was a 12 o'clock kick off. I'm a shite fan 

I wish I did too.

Joe Aribo was unlucky with his wee bit of magic, Got out of jail big time after Goldsons bombscare pass at the back, I think we’ve got 2 goals in us next half.

[Broxi 11,479]

4-2-3-1

Jack for Zungu, Aribo further forward. Roofe on for Kent if it doesn't improve

[pollok-bear 7,537]

Kent looking sharp today. apart from that we need to come out better 2nd half.

Like the last few games especially first half we’ve been so pedestrian with and without the ball...Tav and Barisic offering nothing again isn’t helping. Zungu not been as bad as some are making out but no urgency and has one horrible unforced error in him every game. Another half of hoping we nick one second half against a side who are utter dross isn’t ideal.

Barisic has whipped a few good crosses in

[bluenoz 30,813]

Zungu is a defensive midfielder. He gets the ball and lays it off to an open player.That's his job.  He lost it once the entire half and gets it tight. .

Tavernier has been off the boil for weeks. Hagi & Kamara were quiet and Itten is no Morelos.

Playing on that surface makes everyone look bad

Only player I could say that has been decent has been itten, everything is breaking down in that midfield

5 or 6 games teams have tried the high press but we still insist on playing out from the back. just don't get it

Tbh I think its our line up causing problems today.  It's all well and good pressing us but we should have the quality to play through it against SPL teams and they will be found wanting as soon as we play round it.  I would much rather play against a high pressing energetic team than a team sitting in and camping in their own box.  Quality should shine through but we have rested 2 parts of the spine of our team - CF and CM.  Itten needs players getting closer to him when he plays or he just gets isolated.

[Bannockbear 166]

Only need to look at what happened last time zungu, aribo and kamara were in midfield

If the player next to him is a statue who cant pass the ball & keeps dumping it off to him?

Would say so aye 

Eh? He can't take the ball from defence, fight for the second ball or turn when he gets it because Zungu is pish? No having that. Put Davis or Jack in Kamara's place and they boss it. 

[northern bear 2,881]

Need more from kamara and Aribo. Zungu is playing as holding midfielder. Kent been shite again but he can create something out of nothing.

Helander giving me the fear with that playing out from the back. Have to give Hamilton credit on that press though 

This , another fuck up nearly cost us from him, I still prefer balogun

[theclothmonster 1,707]

Another game another shite performance from Kent, most over rated player in the squad.

You’re not alone half the team have forgotten as well.

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,515]

Jack or Davis for Zungu and Aribo moved forward to make it a 4231

We'll still win

All they player there have done a better job that half. 

Itten has had no service but his hold up play, passing and running has been very good. Hagi is finding space and getting shots off. 

We can't afford passengers and Zungu is exactly that, he doesn't have a place in this starting 11, he's not near the level of the players he's replacing.

Zungu has been shite man.  A defensive midfielder at Rangers needs to do more than just lay it off to an open player, he isn't a centre back.  He has space in front of him to drive forward into or to pass around their press.  He just seems to lack intensity in his play and wants too long on the ball.
