[Moody Blue 9,572]

3pts but we're awful to watch 

[molesmole 1,127]

3 points.

Danillo and Matondo scoring 

Lawrence 90mins and an assist. 

That's all.

Respectfully disagree.  I thought Roofe got into some good positions but wasn't picked out by teammates.   Had plenty of decent passes and should've had a goal which didn't look offside to me even when VAR contrived to make it look offside it still didn't look offside. 

It was shown for about a second and then pulled. I thought the rule was if the lines are touching it is a goal?

[Cadman 352]

Take the goals, take the points but our finishing leaves a lot to be desired ,,, I've said it before, how can players, who get paid handsomely to play the game, not get the ball on target every time?

[bluenoz 31,342]

Danilo isn't coming back from that anytime soon. Gutted for the guy.

[middli 1,581]

Gutted about Danilo we really need Roofe to stay fit now. Lawrence looks capable of contributing big in Cantwells absence. Getting bullied by Stevie May should dispell any lingering notion that Davies can be a successful Rangers centre half. Overall we are labouring and you have to wonder if a more established manager would get more out the group.

Not great to watch but seen worse recently. Happy with a 2-0 away win.

My coupon is intact too

Would you say the same about Dessers getting into good positions? Or ignore it?

[gmcf 34,714]

Well , we did say it was all about the result .

On a positive , it looks like Lawrence is going to make a big contribution to the team . 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

It was a win but I saw nothing to suggest that Beale knows how to fix the underlying problems.

Danilo off to hospital. It will be a while before we see him again.

[Ambrogio 534]

Boring

Because the best players in the world don't get it on target every time.

Probably be next year before we see Danilo back.

He wasn’t exactly setting the heather on fire, I was hoping he’d come on to his game playing in this league but this will set him back

[bluenoz 31,342]

Lawrence improved as the game went on. We are really going to need him & Roofe. Both are key players.

[Number5 2,159]

Controlled the game in terms of possession but up until the 79th minute I was shitting myself expecting a St. Johnstone goal.

After that we actually looked threatening.

Same old though.

To me it also looked like the lines were drawn from about half of their defenders foot.  They were at least level but very likely the defender was actually further back than the line they drew.

[bluenoz 31,342]

Lammers, Davies & Ridvan are NOT our strongest 11. Hope we have seen the last of them.

Radio commentators thought he had a good game with good touches 🤷‍♂️

[Toronto2Glasgow 1,828]

Cheers to everyone there today, sounded class !! 

[G.E.C. 19,116]

Lawrence sounds more Scouse than Welsh.

[wully 48,314]

Wanted to play on aswell.

Presumably this can easily be confirmed after the match to see whether the VAR team messed it up.

[STEPPS BOY 75,151]

3 points and up the road.

The defence is a riot when put under pressure.

[nik2402 1,391]

Opinion hasn’t changed a bit after today. Seen nothing in terms of style of play. Game could’ve comfortably finished 1-1. Another new formation today which just tells me he’s all over the place in his thinking. 
If you’re playing a 4231 start Sima and Matondo wide and have Lawrence behind a striker. If that’s what you want to do. Lammers, Roofe and Lawrence behind a striker is too slow.

I think Dessers is less effective at it so far.  Roofe has a good touch and brings other into the game well and can score despite now having two goals wrongfully taken off him so far this season.
